Halloween Hattie

Brrrr, I think we skipped autumn here and jumped straight to winter! From where I sit at work I can see Ben Lomond (way in the distance) and today I noticed the white stuff. Yes, there is snow on them there hills!

So tonight's card features Hattie all dressed up for her Halloween. Hattie is a digi image and is available from the DigiStamp Boutique. I coloured with copics/promarkers. The paper is by BoBunny and the cool webbed ribbon is from Sew Sweet.

As you would expect this fits a few challenges....

Papertake...spooooky hues

Digital Tuesday...happy halloween

ABC....B for boo

find joy everyday

It's a lovely dry, bright Autumn day here, nice change from the wind and rain! I'm off out for my regular Sunday afternoon jaunt to Glasgow to meet a friend for coffee and muffins. Yum!

Before I go here is my creation for the Saturated Canary Challenge....stitching. The image can be found here and I coloured with copics and promarkers. The papers are 'everyday flair' by My Minds Eye.

The seam binding and buttons are from Sew Sweet.

Finnish Star

I saw a tutorial for this on Debbi's blog and had to have a go. I wish I could get a better picture, may try again during daylight tomorrow and get a pic' of it on the wall. My light box clearly isn't big enough! (have changed the pic' to a better one)

Anyway, you just need one sheet of 12x12 (double sided) decorative paper, some glue and Debbi's tutorial. I added a sticker snowflake to the centre, but that's optional.

pretty pots

I've had this digi image lurking in my 'puter for a while now and decided it was finally time to get it coloured and make a card. It's called pretty pots and it's a Lilyboo Designs stamp that can be found here at Cuddly Buddly.

I coloured with copics and promarkers and the papers are 'good day sunshine' by My Minds Eye. Did a bit of machine stitching to finish it off.

I am entering two challenges....

Cuddly Buddly...check it out

Digital Tuesday...fall colours

Friends

Just a quick post tonight to share this weeks Less is More challenge card 'one layer-heart'. I decided to look out my very under-used stamp tapestry stamps. Not really got much else to say about this one!

OK then, hubby is engrossed in the Gadget Show. Do you think I could get another card done before it ends? Hope so!

a teddybo happy birthday

So what's my favourite colour? That's a tricky one 'cos it can change as quickly as the weather here in the West of Scotland! I had in my mind that it was pink but then when I was looking through my papers this teal caught my eye and in a flash it became my favourite colour!

I have used a Teddy Bo digi image coloured with prisma pencils. The papers are 'lime twist-out of the blue' by My Minds Eye.

I am entering three challenges....
