The Paper Shelter Challenge - Pearls

This is such an easy Challenge and I just love The Paper Shelter Digi Stamps.

This one is  one of my favourite Christmas Digi's, I used the Background supplied with the purchase but zapped it up a bit with lots of bling and sparkle.

This one is called 

"Yep I have my Methods"

The Challenge is "Pearls"  I hope I have enough of them hee hee.

A few cards for a Challenge and More Baby Cards

I love these colour combos, especially on a Digi like this.

This Is "Butterfly Princess" by Saturated Canary Digi Stamps.

Another one is "Bubbles" from Saturated Canary Digi Stamps

These little Darling are both from "Mo's Digital Pencil"
Baby Girl and Baby Boy.

These are cut on "KNK Maxx air", background dry embossed with "Ebosser"
then colour with chalks, tags heat embossed with Zing Embossing Powders.

The delights of Persistance.

I have been a bit obsessed with Skin and Hair colouring lately.  I had so many pics all coloured with Skin and Hair but nothing else.  I finally got around to giving them clothes and background etc, but still trying to put them all into cards.  I did achieve a few cards this weekend though.

My skin and hair obsession started with my purchase of Alyce Keegans "Skin and Hair Classes".  I was a bit wary at first and then thought it was all beyond me, but persistance pays off.  I am still no artist or expert by any means, but I am very impressed with the way my colouring is starting to pop off the page and my Skin and Hair is beginning to look real.

Alyce Keegan has other Classes available at the following website. 

These are a few cards I put together this weekend, so many digi's all ready coloured to make into cards that I will have a busy week.

Attention Seeking Craft Machines.

Does anyone else out there have a problem with their Craft Machines, Tools and Equipment, being attention seeking.  I decided to do something different today, ignoring the copics for most of the day.  Well I was happy, but my copics and other craft supplies started yelling at me for attention.  Well they will have to wait for today.

I have been doing a lot of Card Sketching.  I have never been organised before, being quite new to all this stuff.  There for I tended to colour, cut and assemble things to go onto cards with no forthought of colours, trims, shaped, sizes etc..  Today I got all organised and done some planning.

I also had reason to get organised.  When I started all this "Cardmaking", it was really only for friends and family.  Then I just got bored and wanted to create a bit more challenging crafts.  I have a lot of equipment, machines, tools, supplies, the list goes on, and really couldn't find a use for it all, which was disappointing.  I then gave a "Thank You" card to the hard working Post Mistress at my little village sub-post office.  She liked it and we had a chat and decided to try and sell some.  Naturally not everything sells straight away, but I try to keep the selection very diverse so that there is something for everyone.  The only problem is that people really don't send many cards these days, but I realised the ones that are sent are the special occasions, such as Birth, Death, Marriage and of course engagement.  Anniversary does get a look in now and then as well.  So having realised this that is what I am concentrating on at the moment.  I have really a head start on my Christmas cards, up to about 18 now, need around 33-35 and although there are still a few birthday cards left this year, I am ahead with those as well.

These are just the start of the above mentioned celebrations I intend to concentrate on next, using all my machines and mediums.

               

             

Just a few more Christmas Cards.

These little beauties are from

"Tiddly Ink Stamps"

They were a free gift with the magazine called

"Quick Cards"  which is a UK magazine

 I love this little "Balancing Elf" from

Make It Crafty

 "Luna"  was a free gift from Pookadoodles Stamps.

It came with a Colouring Challenge for "Differnt Hair Colour"

Only fair to enter after receiving the image free.

 This was something different for me.  I couldn't get a good idea for this birthday card, to represent the person it is intended for so I went outside my own bos and created these little tools.  Quite effective.

And here we have the perfect friend for "Balance elf"."

This one is "Playful Sitting Elf" from Make it Crafty
