Arty Girlz "home art"

I enjoyed this challenge very much, for the occasion I decided as I hadn't been given a calendar this year, I would make one!

Basically I printed a 2009 calendar onto a white A4 card. I then used a piece of sponge and 3 colours of adirondak inks to do the base colour. Once that had dried I rubber stamped the lady image in espresso adirondak ink, and the flowers leaves, and dragon fly in pastel chalks. Once it was all dry I laminated the whole thing, punched a hole and completed the whole thing with an eyelet and a piece of green ribbon for hanging.

My Time To Craft Challenge "Easy Elegance"

Well I didn't expect to be doing another card for this challenge site but as I was a bit late with the last challenge I thought I would put in a bit of an effort! So here is an elegant card!

Cute Card Thursday Challenge "open theme"

I needed to make a birthday card so used this challenge for that purpose, I have had a really good play with my adirondak inks and I really like the end result.

Dutch Dare Challenge 29

Well I've had a bit of a play today and got a few challenges done.

This one is for the Dutch Dare sketch challenge and this is my interpretation of it!

House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge "EMBOSSING"

Hi everybody,

Hope you all had a good Christmas and that 2009 will be a good one for all!

I have checked out what challenges are about and will try to get a few done. I feel like I have been a naughty girl playing truant as I have missed so many of late!

Any way for the 1st card I have made in simply ages we have a house mouse card, the first chance I have had to use this new stamp.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL!

Just dropped in to share the last few Christmas cards I have made, I have had such a hectic time of late I have hardly been in my summer house to craft and ended up buying a lot of my cards this year. Anyway I had to make special cards for my 3 sons and Hubby so I will share these with you.

I would just like to wish you all a Happy Healthy Christmas Time and a prosperous 2009!

See you all in the New Year for some good challenges hopefully!

Another lovely sketch to work and I trusted in an old faithful to give me the effect I wanted.

Ismaki Sketch

I really liked this sketch & the colours I chose for it but have to admit to being a little disappointed with the end result.. Still its only fair to share the good with the bad so Hey Ho!

Tanda Teaser "In The Frame"

Cute Card Thursday Challenge "HEARTS"

I decided on one heart but its full of seasonal wishes!

Dutch Dare Challenge "Scalloped Edges"

Well at last I have got around to making some cards, I have tried to combined some of the challenges for cards I need for family and friends....The easy challenge of scalloped edges from The Dutch Dare blog enabled me to make a start....

Just to Say Hi!

Well I didn't get very far last week with completing any challenges, and I am not sure how well I will do this week. I thought I would share a couple of cards that I needed to make, the first being for my hubbies birthday which I was quite pleased with as he is an avid golfer, the second is a commissioned card for an Elvis fanatic, I found this much harder needing to make a masculine card with Elvis on! Still it is done and now I can start thinking about Christmas. I normally have done all the gifts cards etc by now, this year I also have to do my Mums shopping for Christmas and haven't even bought a single present.....I need to get my finger out!
