Craftycatz Challenge February 9th 2024

Hello again from a sunny but cold Perthshire.  I wish the winter was over, I hate the cold.  

All the bulbs are coming through in the garden though, so Spring is on the way. 

This week, in Crafty Catz Blog world, we are sponsored by 

SheepSkiDesigns

 ik

The card I am using is called Valentine and I think it is super.  I have used it as a Valentine's card, but I can see myself using it for other things too.

I will be giving this card to my husband of 22 years. 

 We don't really do presents,  but we do swap cards.

Have you got a card for your nearest and dearest yet?  This digital download would be wonderful, don't you think?  I think the rest of the design team has made some wonderful cards too.  It is worth looking at the blog to see them

The image I have is called 

The Sweet Gardener

She is very sweet, isn't she?  I wish I looked as good as that when I was in my garden!  My colouring is not as good as I would have liked though, the grass looks. terrible I think.  Never mind, I'm not perfect!!

Crafty Catz Challenges Dec 9th

 Hello once again.  Do you have the Christmas Spirit yet?  I'm battling another chest infection, so I still don't feel very Christmassy.  Don't have my Christmas Decorations up yet, so must get that done soon.

We are sponsored this week by 

Dr Digi's House of Stamps

The prize is 2 images from the shop

The theme is Last Minute Christmas

I have used Christmas Jumper Seth

I love that jumper!!!!!  As a knitter myself, I think this image is fantastic!! 

 You can have so much fun colouring it in.  I used my Polychromos, my favourite pencils.

It's over to you now, why not enter your card in our challenge?

Bye for now, and take care!!

CraftyCatz Challenges # 11th Nov

 Our challenge this week is sponsored by Last Minute Manda and the theme is Birthday Treats. 

 

I have used this super cute wee image with wee mice doing some baking.  I coloured it using my Promarkers.  I also highlighted a few areas with my Polychromos.

Crafty Catz Challenge #14th October

It's my turn to host the challenge over at Crafty catz weekly challenge blogspot.com

We are sponsored by

http://beccysplace.blogspot.com/

Prize $10 Aud gift certificate 

http://beccysplace.com/

I have picked the theme to be orange, black and purple

It's almost Halloween, so I decided to  pick Halloween  colours

The stamp I have picked is called Happy Anniversary and I think it is so much fun!!  It is not like the usual anniversary image, is it?

I coloured the image using Polychromos, and I used a die to make a frame, but the outside border went out with the card which the image is on.  This resulted in a very unusual border, but I think it is still effective.

So, it is over to you now!  Why don't you colour up an image using orange, black and purple, and enter it on the blog.  You might just win that wonderful voucher!

Bye for now, and I hope you have a good week.

Creatalicious Challenges # 227

 Hello again and welcome to my little corner of the world.  Is it cold where you are? It is really cold here, but it was nice and sunny earlier, which made a big difference.  It is winter after all, so I can't complain!

The New challenge over at Creatalicious challenges blogspot is anything goes, with the option of Winter.

Here is my card

I have used 2 images from Mo's digital pencil

Valerie in winter and soon

I used my Promarkers to colour the two images, which I had merged together to create a scene.  I added some glitter to make the snow sparkle, and a die cut sentiment to finish it off.

Pop over to Creatalicious Challenges, and see if the Design Team can inspire you?

Creatalicious Challenges #219

 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.

So, without further ado, here is my card for challenge #219 Anything goes, with optional "Friends"  We are sponsored this fortnight by Polkadoodles who have a wonderful selection of digital images for you to look at. 

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!

Creatalicious challenges #213 with option At/In the water

 

Hello again, and thank you for joining me today.  I haven't had much time for crafting lately, as I have been busy in the garden.  

The weather has been fantastic, so my hubby and I took advantage of that.  Lots of flowers, which we grew in our greenhouse, have now been planted. our garden will hopefully look wonderful once all the flowers come out.

It is time for a new challenge again today at Creatalicious Challenges and our theme is "Anything Goes + optional at/in the water". You're welcome to join us with the optional as most of the DT did, but as it is an optional, you can also chose not to do it  -  it's totally up to you. 

We just want you to have fun with us @ Creatalicious Challenges..

We're sponsored this time by 

Here is my card using Peony Mermaid

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 #210 Things with wings

 

Hello again!  It's raining here today, it has been miserable all day. Where has the sunshine gone now?

I actually wonder where April has gone too!  I missed the deadline to get my Design Team card on the Creatalicious Challenge Blog. Oops! My Bad!!!!

Here it is now, and we are sponsored this time by Stampers Stampers Delights

This wee image is called Chibi Fuschia Fairy.  I coloured her with my Polychromo Pencils and the sentiment was a free stamp from a magazine.

You have until 14th May to enter your card on the Creatalicious Challenges blogspot?

Until Next Time! xxx

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 Challenge #195

 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 celebrating Halloween over 31 days on Airless Chambers Blogspot 

and today it is my turn to show you my project.

I have used the lovely, cute digital stamp called  Night Flight

but appearances can be very deceptive!!

Why don't you go over to the Airless Chambers  and see all the other horrors on there?  

Perhaps you shouldn't do it alone though! LOL!!!!

I used the following for this card
