Creatalicious Challenge #225 ANYTHING GOES with optional non traditional Christmas colours

 Hello again! Can you believe it's almost Christmas?  Where has this year gone? I sincerely hope that 2022 slows down a bit and is better to us than 2021 and 2020! 

 It is a scary world at the moment but it can only get better.

 Now, let's be a bit more cheerful!! 

Here is Skateboard Santa, a digital image from The Paper Shelter.com

Santa is taking some time out from delivering presents and is playing on his snowboard.  He really looks like he is having fun, doesn't he?

Why don't you pop over and see what the design teamat Creatalicious Challenges have made?

Creatalicious Challenges # 224

 Hello  again.  I do honestly believe I  am turning into the White Rabbit.  Why? I hear you ask - well  its because I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date!!  The reason for that, yet again is because my laptop is playing up.  It just doesn't want to upload my photos and it is so frustrating.  anyway, I'm here now, so I would like to show you my card for The Creatalicious Challenge for 30th November.

We are sponsored this time by Alex Syberia, and I have used the image called Christmas Gnomes.

I love these cheeky wee gnomes, aren't they amazing?  If you pop over to Creatalicious Challenges and see what the other DT members have made? 

I'll go now and try to get more photos onto my laptop!!

Bye for now, please leave a comment  below, to let me know you have been for a visit.

  Hello again!  How are you?  I hope you are well and coping with current circumstances.

Well, I have had so many problems with my PC  I had to get a new hard drive (money money money) and I then couldn't get my printed connected to the PC.  I had had to re-install so many things which had just disappeared.  It has been a total nightmare!!!!!!

Nonetheless I am here now!!

I have missed a couple of challenges because of all the hassle but I have managed to colour and print and photograph my project and here it is.

 Hello again.  I haven't been on here for a few weeks, life just got too busy, and I couldn't get to my blog at all.  I missed the deadline for the last Creatalicious Challenge too, which wasn't good.

Here is my card, and the image is called "Missed you"

I used my Polychromo pencils once again, i seem to use them a lot more than my Promarkers now.  Need to change that!

Please go and have a look at creatalicious challenges blogspot.com to see the other design team members cards?  I am sure you will enjoy it!

Well, that's all from me for now.  So take care and stay safe!

Do you celebrate Halloween?

I love seeing all the children dressed up, and I must confess, I like dressing up myself!!

Creatalicious Challenges #216

 Hello again!  The weather here is sunny again!!  We had a wonderful thunderstorm last week.  Loudest thunderclap I have ever heard, right above the house.  I love it!  My wee grandkids, Freya and Freddy were visiting at the time, and their faces were a picture  at every thunderclap.  Not scared in the slightest.  Nor was the dog, which surprised me.

Anyway, it is Creatalicious Challenge time again, or rather it was, because I'm late!! 

We are sponsored once more by Fabrika Fantasy and I have been given this  very cute image called Happy Cats

Creatalicious Challenges #215 Anything Goes with the option of Transport

 Hello again from Sunny Scotland

I have lots of washing out, taking advantage of the good day.

It is time for the challenge at Creatalicious Challenges

theme is Anything goes, but the option is Transport.  Most people think of cars for this I think, but i chose something different

Yes, I chose a horse.  A lazy horse i should say, and I don't think it will transport her very far! lol!!

I love Thelwell images, they are so funny, but cute at the same time! Why don't you make a card with a transport theme?  Be like me, get a different form of transport than cars.

Thanks for stopping to have a wee look at my blog, please leave a comment for me.

Jackson and Lara?

 Hello once again and thank you for popping by my wee blog.  I thought I would share the card I made recently for my grandson Jackson.

This image from Mo Manning just looks so like Jackson and my dog Lara.  I coloured using my Polychromo pencils and  I tried to colour the dog to look like Lara.  

I would  like to enter this card in the following challenges.

Creatalicious Challenge #214

 Well, I'm late again!!  time is passing so quickly now, it is unbelievable!!

I'm 3 days late posting this item, that's very very bad indeed.

It's challenge #214 at Creatalicious Challenges.  The theme is Interactive/Fancy Folds

I also forgot to do a fancy fold, so I'm really really really bad

our sponsor this time is The Paper Shelter

These are colours I wouldn't usually use, but I discovered 

that these little metal flowers matched 

perfectly!  

I'm trying to use up stuff in my stash that I have had for ages,

 so, 1 thing down, 3,000 more to go! lol!!!

I tried to put my watermark on this card, but my laptop kept rejecting it for some reason, so I'm off now to find out why it won't accept it.

Thank you for stopping here, and I hope to see you again really soon.

Take care!

Isn't this a gorgeous image?  I coloured it with my Polychromos, it was a joy to colour  the artist has made it easier for you with her clever use of shadows on the digital image.  

So, out challenge is open, and I'm late posting this, so it will be short and sweet!!

Bye for now, but please leave a little love, if you stop here.  Stay safe xxx

Creatalicious Challenges #209

 Hello once again.  The sun is shining!!!!!!! Long may it continue!!

All this Covid scare and lockdown doesn't seem so bad when the sun is out.  We have been busy in the garden, and also in the greenhouse.  i love planting seeds and watching them all pop through the surface of the soil.   It makes my heart sing, knowing that better weather is on the way, and I can watch the world come alive again.

Over at Creatalicious Challenges, it is time for

 Challenge #209 and the theme is Anything Goes with the option of Slimline..

We are sponsored this time by Rachelle Anne Miller, and I am using one of her beautiful digital stamps Animal Parade

Isn't that just a really cute image? I love the wee squirrel on the back of the Tortoise's back.  

okay, it's over to you now, pop over to Creatalicious Challenges blogspot and have a alook at the Design Team's cards for some inspiration, then enter your own card into the Challenge.

Bye for now and I hope you will come back soon! xx

Creatalicious Challenges #208

Hello again and welcome to my wee corner of the world.  The weather here has been really good, and it has been great being able to spend time in the garden.  My seedlings  are all growing away in the greenhouse and it is lovely to see the wee shoots breaking through the soil  it does your heart good.  

Over at Creatalicious Challenges, we are spotlighting a new artist for me, Alex Syberia.  I used the image Just Wonderful.

I coloured my card using my Polychromos.  I have to confess, i made a muck up of this card initially.  I used Pearl drops to decorate the flowers, and it turned out a complete mess!!  i left it overnight and the next morning, I sat and scraped the pearl drops off the card and re-coloured over the damage!  I have to say it looked way better without them.  Nothing against the Pearl drops, but on this occasion, they just didn't work.  

That's all from me this time, remember to stay safe and stay healthy everyone.

Creatalicious Challenges #207

Creatalicious Challenges #206 Got The Blues

 Hello again.  We are at the end of February - how did that happen?  

At least the snow is all away now, and it is getting a bit warmer too.  It was Jackson's 9th Birthday, and, because of Covid, we couldn't meet in the house.  We sat outside instead, eating Birthday Cake and Cakepops, trying to stop our teeth chattering!  it  was fun though, and a hot cup of tea works wonders!!  

He was so happy with the Spiderman cake which he designed and his Mummy made.

So, on with the card challenge.   The theme this time is Got the Blues, and our sponsor is Polkadoodles

I worked on Agnes Elephant Balloon 

Isn't she sweet?  I coloured her with my Promarkers, and added some little 

roses in amongst the grass.

Creatalicious Challenges #204 Theme - Kisses

 Hello once again  It is cold.  No, that's not right.  It's bloomin cold!!

I don't venture out much at the moment, I walk slowly, so that means u get cold quickly.  I wish I could do a quick sprint to warm myself up!

It is time for a new challenge at Creatalicious Challenges.  Our theme this time is Kisses. 

My card is using an image from Mo Manning, and as you know I love her images.

This one I have used is so cute, blowing kisses.  There is a lot of that going on at the moment, as we cant hug and kiss our loved ones.  Just wish the world was safe again.

Well, I must go and see what hubby is up to.  

Stay safe and stay home everyone, and remember your mask. 

Let's Get Sketchy January 21

 Hello again!

 I have not made any layouts for months and months.  this lockdown has really affected my mojo, but I am pleased to say I have one to show you now.

I have used this sketch from Lets get sketchy blogspot

I immediately knew which paper I was going to use, and that I would make a layout showing our wee angel Harper with her mummy,my daughter Marie.

I used this paper pad to make a memory book for Marie to put scan pictures and photos of Harper.  I'm glad I had this sheet left for my layout!

I am entering this layout on the Let's Get Sketchy Blogpost January 2021
