12 Tags 2013 - May

Hello. Last day of May - made it! Didn't think I would but I got my tag done with a couple of hours to spare. Now, it's really nothing like Tim's tag.....

...all I had this month was the ink and the remnant rubs - and even then it was a different set! But, you know what, it doesn't matter. I still had loads of fun and it will probably be about a month before I get all the ink of my fingers.

 

Hi

Hi! Here is this weeks card for The DigiStamp Boutique. I have used a couple of elements from the a little birdie told me set.

I coloured with copics - and look - no patterned paper!

 

Happy Birthday

Hello. I'm a day late with my Papertake Weekly Challenge DT card. But I have a good excuse! I was away on a very jolly holiday in Portugal. Do you know there are places where the sky is blue for more than one day at a time! And they reward you with cold drinks just for sitting by the pool on a lounger!

Anyhoo, this week's challenge is a sketch...

...you can use this one or choose another from the huge choice here.Just let us know the number of the sketch you used in your blog post.
This week we are sponsored by Simon Says Stamp, a $20 voucher for one lucky winner!

I have gone a little less is more for my card - a couple of snippets of paper, some washi tape and a little stamped TeddyBea which I have watercoloured.

I have followed the current trend for sequins but now that it's photographed don't you think they look like mini footballs?

Monday's News

 News this week includes two cool releases from the DigiStamp Boutique. The first a Teatime Set and the second a set of Simple Tags. You can do all sorts of things with these - print the tags, cut out and stamp your own sentiment (remember they can be re-sized to suit your stamp) - insert the digi sentiments that come with the set or simply use the sentiments on their own. Very versatile.

 Next up is my latest article for Papercraft Essentials. I got to play with the brand new Penny Black stamps! It's on the shelves now!

And finally, this weeks craft buys. A set of water soluble crayons - I can't wait to have a play. And another doodle book - I know, I know, how many doodle books do you need - lots!

 

Beep! Beep! Birthday Boy

Hello. I'm here to share this weeks card for The DigiStamp Boutique. I decided to use 'Robbo' (there is also a Roberta 'cos it's not only boys who love robots!) I love Robbo, he looks so happy! I coloured with copic pens and the papers are 'ready set go' by American Crafts.

If you make a card using any of the Boutique's images remember to enter it into the customer competition, all the info' is here. There's a £15 voucher up for grabs!

 

born wild!

 Hello, it's time for another Papertake Weekly Challenge. 

And this week it's...

 

Anything Goes

optional extra - use two or more stamps

 

We are sponsored this week by the fabulous Lili of the Valley. 

For my card I used a Penny Black stamp 'born wild' and coloured with watercolour pencils. My sentiment is stamped using a little alpha set I have had for years, unfortunately the makers name has been lost in the mists of time! The papers are 'Note to Self' by Echo Park.

Monday's News

I'm really late with my news today, the sun has, at last, reached the West of Scotland (thanks to everyone who said they would send it here) and we took ourselves out for a drive and a walk. It's amazing how many random people have dog biscuits - a traffic warden, two shop owners and the young lad in the coffee shop! 

Anyway, looking for a good crafty read? This month's Simply Cards and Papercraft is on the shelves now. I have two cards using cool Avery Elle stamps in an article. A little sneaky peek above.

And look what I found in a little gift shop - chuffed to bits with my new button keyring.

I nabbed this in a charity shop. I have plans to join in the Alpha/Dictionary Challenge. I know, I know it's an encyclopedia but it looks just like a dictionary inside! Look out for my first letter, coming soon (hopefully).

See you tomorrow for this weeks Papertake Challenge.
