OMG!

My body has obviously been overtaken by aliens! I started to make a card for my favourite LIM challenge (masking theme) and came up with this:

What kind of cutesy alien has inhabited me? Will I ever be able to exorcise it and return to my normal self? Time will tell.

Anyway, the alien has used two Penny Black stamps, paper pieced with Basic Grey Two Scoops paper, coloured with Faber Castell watercolour pencils and a little Craftwork Cards Card Candy paper brad.

What Time Is It?

It's crafting time! Here is a little card I made to wish someone luck in their new home.

I've used a SVG file from The Cutting Cafe to make the clock shaped card I've had this file for over a year and never used it - despite it being something that I had to have when I bought it! Everything else is from my stash.

2 Sisters - Spots and Dots
Crazy 4 Challenges - Use some Green
C.R.A.F.T. - House, New Home or House Warming
Little Miss Muffet Challenges - Easel, shaped or step card
Ditzy Craftymess - Buttons or Anything Goes

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Ee Bah Gum?

Well this is shaping into a day of firsts I'm entering the By Lori Designs which is a colour challenge.

I've used a Bosenberries freebie image which (I can't quite believe) I've coloured with Faber Castell watercolour pencils and added a little glitter. Not very good I know but I suppose all this shading malarkey comes with practice. The DP from Pink Petticoat Big Dots is a scrap as is the pink layer behind. The sentiment is computer generated again onto a scrap (I'm soooooo green!).

This image reminds me of a little money bank I got for Christmas as a child which when you put your penny in you got a miniature bar of Cadbury's chocolate out - I loved it!

Shoes Glorious Shoes

Happy Friday! I think this may be the first time I've entered the CAS-ual Friday challenge (maybe not it's hard to keep up) which this week is nice and easy:

'CFC44: It's as Easy as 1-2-3 Create a Clean And Simple project using

1. A Pattern
2. An Image
3. A Sentiment
Sound easy? Remember to keep it CAS!'


My entry is a card for my Mother's Day card for this Sunday.

Every required element on this card is from Pink Petticoat - the image and sentiment from Mini Diva Doodles and the DP's are from Lola's Boudoir. I've added a punched Fiskars border and a little glitter to my roses on those fabby shoes.

Eureka

I was about to throw in the towel and not participate in my favourite LIM challenge this week. The challenge is neutrals and I really struggled. However just like Archimedes who discovered displacement after a visit to the smallest room in the house - I got my inspiration from the trim tiles in my bathroom.

I was overjoyed to have found this inspiration and unlike Archimedes resisted the temptation to run through the streets of my town naked to proclaim my triumph.

I've used pearlescent, kraft and silver card throughout and added a metal birthday tag. I'm not sure if I like the result - it would maybe do a male birthday card - but at least I get my weekly LIM fix as a result.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!
