Creatalicious Challenge #201

 Hello once more and welcome to my wee corner of the world.

The theme at Creatalicious Challenges is "Christmas"!!

i made 80 Christmas Cards this year, but I am not sending any.  Because of our recent Bereavement , I just can't face writing happy things on cards.

So here is 1 of the 80!

I used stamps and die from Chloe, and made an easel card. 

 I love a blue and white colour combo for Christmas Cards.

 I am not too keen on the usual red and green!

i would like to enter my card in the following challenges.

That's all for now, but I hope you all have a Lovely time a Christmas, 

and hopefully 2021 will be a much better year.

our wee Angel, Harper

 Hello everyone and welcome once again.  IT's almost Christmas, and a New Year.  2021 lets hope it is a lot better than 2020 which has been the worst year ever.  Our baby Granddaughter Harper, lost her battle and passed away on 25th November, just 2 days short of being 4 months old.  

Very sadly, we only got to meet her once, very briefly in the hospital, where they bent the rules to allow us in to say Hello and Goodbye.

So many tears have been shed, and quite honestly, we do not feel very Christmassy at all.  

The show must go on, however, for the sake of our other Grandchildren, Jackson, Freya and Freddy.

Creatalicious Challenges # 199

 Hello again.  boy the weather has changed over in my corner of the world.  So very very cold.  It is November so I shouldn't complain.

It's time to show my Design Team Card for creatalicious challenges.blogspot.com   #199

We are sponsored by  Colour of love

                                           

The theme this time is  "Anything Goes + optional autumn/Thanksgiving"   

I chose the beautiful image Rory's Autumn is in the air.  She is a beautiful image and jus look at her hair!!  I had lots of fun colouring it.  I must admit that hair is the hardest thing to colour in my opinion, but I think I am getting better.  Practice makes perfect!!

I coloured Rory with my Polychromo pencils which I love.  I coloured the background with Distress Oxide ink and then stamped leaves and flowers  around the border.  I then finished it off with a stamped verse.   It's the first time I have actually coloured anything in Autumnal colours, but I have to confess I love it!  I am really pleased with how this card turned out.   I don't often say that about my work, I am always very critical.  You have to give yourself a pat on the back sometime though don't you?

Creatalicious Challenge #198

 Hello again and thank you for popping by my wee blog!  It has been quite chilly of late, and the trees are all changing colour and looking absolutely beautiful.  We are definitely into Autumn.

Halloween is quite sad this year.  Covid has put paid to all the kids' fun, as they can't go trick or Treating.  I still decorated a pumpkin with Jackson though and we put it in the garden at the front of the house.  Very low-key, but Jackson seemed happy enough with that.

So, onto my card for Creatalicioous Design Team.

Our sponson this time is the wonderful Doctor Digi  who has digital images, which are really funny.  Go and have a wee look if you haven't done so already!

The image I chose is Rodeo Rhoda I just had to pick that one, didn't I?

Isn't she hilarious?  I just love this image, and  I feel I could use it on

 Birthday Cards for ladies who like to have fun!!

 Hello once again.  the time has sped by and it is time for another challenge at Creatalciou Challenges.

This time we are sponsored by Fabrika Fantasy 

and the theme is 

Anything Goes with the option to use a punch.

I chose this super cute little image, which is actually a colouring page, but I turned it into a card.   Little cupid is sitting on his bunny rabbit for a ride!

I used a Martha Stewart punch to make 2 borders at top and bottom. I coloured

 the image with my Polychromo pencils.

 I wanted to make this card as bright as possible, and I think I achieved that!

We are sponsored this time by  Cute as a Button

I coloured this with my Polychromo pencils.  I am still trying to find suitable paper for using these pencils.  The aoer i used for this image is fine, but it is a creamy colour and I would prefer it to be white.  I'll keep searching until I find something I like!!

Welcome Harper

 Hello from a lovely sunny Perthshire.  things always fee better when the sun shines.  I thought I would tell you first of all about the birth of my second Granddaughter, Harper.  when my daughter was 12 weeks pregnant, she discovered that there was something wrong with the baby.  Some of her internal organs were outside her body.  this meant that Marie was scanned every 2 weeks and because of the Covid lockdown, her partner Jordan was not allowed to go into hospital with her.  

here is our wee miracle girl.

This Babygro is size up to one month and it dwarfs her!!  Poor we lamb has a long road ahead of her, but she has plenty love from her family to keep her going.

Creatalicious Challenges #188

It's hard to believe it is time for another Creatalicious Challenge!!  Weeks go past so quickly at the moment.  Life is really really strange, it is difficult for some more than others.  My heart goes out to those in hospital, who cannot even have their loved ones visit them.  Hopefully our present situation will end sooner rather than later.

The theme at Creatalicious Challenges is Birthdays, and our sponsor is The Papershelter 

I used my Polychromo pencils to colour her, 

and used some balloon paper from a magazine. 

(You can't see very much of it though) I also cut out the parcel and balloon 

from another piece of paper, as embellishments.  

All the Design Team were given this same image to use, and it is wonderful 

how different our creations are.   Pop on over to the Blog and have a look for yourself.  

Even better, why don't you  enter your own card! 

Bye for now, and Happy Crafting!!
