Playing Golf

Hello and thank you for popping in to see my work!  

I have been busy in the garden this week, weather has been atrocious, but we got a lovely sunny day, so out I went to do some dead-heading.  I am so pleased with my lovely garden this year.  I'll put some photos on later.

So, without further ado, Here is my latest card.  I used this super wee image from Lili of the Valley.  He is called "Playing Golf"   Such a simple title! lol!!  I love the fact that his golf bag is almost as big as himself, so sweet.

I coloured him using my Promarkers and just used shades of grey and black. 

 I really like the effect it gives, especially on  man's card.

3rd Birthday

Hello everyone. Well, unfortunately, it is raining here again! 

 There was a cloudburst last night, and it was incredible!  All the neighbours were up at their windows like us, just looking at the rain bouncing off the pavement and road.  

Aye, we Scots can still amuse ourselves in the rain! lol!!

We celebrated Freya's 3rd Birthday last week, and this is the card I made for her.

This is an image from Lili of the Valley, and is one of their pre-printed cards.  I used an 8" x 8" scalloped white card, and covered with lilac floral paper. I glued round the edge of the image card and dipped it in some purple glitter.  I also put on the number 3 which is a peel off.

 I added a strip of lace, a glitter rosette and 3 spiral flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

 I stamped the sentiment with Warm Violet Chalk Ink, and used a corner punch to give extra detail.

This is a die which I think is from Tonic.  I love the effect it has.

I'm trying a mixed media project today, first time I have attempted this.  Once it is finished I will do a post on here to show it off, be it good or bad! lol!!

Bye for now, have a good Sunday everyone! xx

Anyone for Golf?

I hope everyone has recovered from the Christmas and New year Festivities!  I'm glad to get back to normal and get some sort of routine going again!!

I have used an image from Lili of the Valley for this man's card I've kept it simple as I don't think men really appreciate anything too fussy!

This was a stash buster, so I can't say where any of the papers are from, I used my Spellbinder's Dies for the sentiment and also to frame the image.

I am entering this into the challenge at 

Crafty Calendar Challenge Blogspot which is Let's Celebrate

and also

Time to make dinner, so have to go, but I'll be back soon!!

Challenges Card

I have lots of images which are coloured, but I haven't got round to making into cards.  I've decided to use some of them up, and here is the first one.  This is a Lili of the Valley little girl stamp, called 'Daisy Chain' in front of a Magnolia background.  I have made a lacy frame using a Martha Stewart Punch around the page stamp.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid, and the leaves were punched out using my Cuttlebug.  The wee girl is mounted onto foam pads to give a bit of definition to the card and balance the flowers opposite.

I am entering this card into the following  challenges:

Bella and Bronte's Challenge (Mo's digital challenge)

 The challenge over at Bronte and Bella's Challenge Blog #94  (Mo's Digital Pencil) is to make an easel  card with an animal or bird and of course, using one of Mo's images.  I just love this cheery lady and this is the first card I have made using this image.  I included a wee pussycat and also a wee bird.  I used up paper from my stash (which I think was a freebie from a magazine) and some bows and gems.  She was coloured with my promarkers, and I paper pieced her dress.

The card below is a Lili of the Valley image and once more it is an easel card. I was rummaging through my stash and found letter and number templates, so I decided to make some 'age' cards, starting with this one. The paper again is from my stash, and the lovely flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. http://mosdigitalchallenge.blogspot.com/

 

This layout is based on Sketch  #226 which you can see below from Sketch Inspirations.  I love working with circles so this was right up my street.  The picture is one of Harrison which hi Mummy took when she was experimenting with some new camera techniques.  I loved this photo and just had to scrap it.  (I also have it as the wallpaper on my p.c.!) 

Sketch inspiration

I have been busy making cards as Marie and I have been invited along to a fund raising event in a village close by.  We are taking our cards to sell, so there has been a flurry of activity in the craft room!!  the card below shows a Lili of the Valley image and I used a Magnolia image of the open gate as well.

 This is another Lili of the Valley image, one of the new stamps called Milly - isn't she gorgeous?  She reminds me of my daughter Marie when she was a little girl!!  I haven't told her that though!)

 This is a Magnolia image, again it is one of the newer stamps. I also decorated the inside which I am trying to do on more cards now.  I think it makes them look really special.

The last card ia a Hanglar image and the tree is a digital image which was downloaded from a website, but unfortunately, I can't remember which one. 

Now, I am off to do another layout as I have just had even more photos of my DGS printed off!  thank you for stopping by!
