Baby boy

Hello friends. Happy Easter.

I hope you're still having a wonderful weekend. 

Can't get over the fact that we're having some lovely weather! It's not like us here in the UK to see so much sun, especially in April! LOL

 

For my inspiration post today, I have stolen the Easter Bunny to make a new baby easel card. 

Isn't that bunny's face just SO sweet!

This wonderful image is available in Wendy's Etsy shop HERE.

 I have a new grandson due on the 11th May and this card will be to welcome him into the world.

I think a bit of bling is acceptable on a new baby boy card, don't you?

The ribbon is from my stash and threaded with coordinating grosgrain ribbon.

The papers are from a Papermania Capsule collection, 'Burleigh Blue'.

I got the VERY sparkly ribbon sliders off  Ebay. Some can be quite dull and plastic-y?

These are much nicer. SO glittery and a lot heavier.

Here are all the latest images...

Just So Cool

Little Flower Girl 

On My Farm

I do hope you'll 'hop' (sorry, couldn't resist) on over to the All Dressed Up Blog and see the amazing projects my teamies have created! They are a sheer delight.

how about taking part in our challenge too?

The current theme is 'Spring' and can be either colours, or flowers. 

We'd love to have you play along.

Thanks for visiting me today. It's always a pleasure to 'see' you.

Hope you had a great extended weekend!

New image inspiration take 2!

I say 'Take 2' because the DT inspiration posts are spread over two days.

Team B posts on the 20th and Team A posts on 21st. 

In case you haven't seen the new March images, here they are...

All different and all as cute as a button!

Available now in the All Dressed Up Etsy store.

Here's a couple of items I made with some of the images...

A Time To Share

I cut this centre step card on my Silhouette. I also used the Silhouette to place a white border around the image 'A Time To Share'.

(Saves me 'fussy cutting' and mucking it up)! 

I coloured that adorable image with Copics and a Spica pen in the hard to reach areas.

I decoupaged the umbrella in three layers. Don't think this photo picks it up very well.

The image was paper pieced with one of Wendy's lovely digital papers and the floral papers on the card are Wendy's too.

You can see them in the Etsy Shop HERE.

FIVE GORGEOUS PAPERS FOR 75P!!!!BARGAIN!

 We Make A Good Team

LOVE this image!
you can find it HERE. 

I decided to give the 'team' a mish-mash of strip. All odd, all coordinating in a daft kind of way.

I wanted it to look a little like the back street kids having a kick-about with no proper strip but not caring.

I found the football (soccer) paper on Etsy here.

I coloured the image with Copics and sponged the 'sky' with Brilliance 'Sky blue' ink.

(I think my 'grass' needs a little practice, but I'm not unhappy with it).

Hope you like my cards today. 

Please stop by the ADU Blog and see the amazing projects my teamies have created!

Whilst you're there, why not look at our challenge and hopefully, join in.

It would be lovely to have you play along!

Well, I'd better stir myself I suppose.

Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to your next visit.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

A New ADU Challenge!

Hya friends.

I hope all is well in your world.

The weather is nice and pleasant here for a change.

As usual, we didn't get the predicted snow. Bummer!

Anyway, onto the challenge.

As the title says, this challenge theme is ...

'CAS'
(Clean And Simple)

I don't know about you, but I often struggle with CAS, so these challenges help drag me out of my comfort zone.

Well I've been well and truly dragged with THIS one! LOL

I have used Wendy's cute 'Tall Like You' digi.

It's available to purchase HERE, for a measly £1.50! Bargain!

No Copics were murdered in the making of this card.

The blue plain and spotted digital paper is by Pink Petticoat.

I doodled around the edge of the mat and I hand wrote the sentiment, 'coz I'm an idiot.

I forgot to stamp a sentiment before putting the blue layer on dimensionals! DOH!!!

It was nerve-wracking!  I was convinced I'd duff it up. lol

Very CAS and I will use this image again for new baby cards.

Onto the deets!

This challenge will run until the 15th of March.

Head on over to All Dressed up blog to check out the rest of the teams creations, and why not enter the challenge whilst you are there.

Remember! To enter our challenges, you need to use an All Dressed Up image, or paper.

There are free ones on the blog and the ones in the shop are REALLY reasonable for such quality images!

Lastly, don't forget our Facebook group.

To keep up to date with all the latest ADU news, chat and to share all your lovely creations.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Back soon with more projects!

Have a smashing weekend!

I am, 'coz I'm in Derby getting crafty with my pals!

More Print & Cut Kitties.

Hi Friends!

I had so much enjoyment from colouring that cat yesterday, I decided to make a little family.

As there is a major shortage of cat fur colouring tutes out there, I decided to just try and go from memory again.

I wanted a Mum, Dad and child kitty picture.

(Totally forgot I'd have to take the bow off the 'dad') DOH!!!!

Ah well. It's now Mum, child and Aunty! (or big sister). LOL

The MEGA cute image is from All Dressed Up. Called 'Purrfect Together' . You can purchase it HERE.

(There is also a sentiment included)

I've given them varying degrees of fur pattern.

The idea was, Baby would take characteristics from both parents, so as 'Mum' has no stripes and 'Dad has bolder stripes, 'Baby' has more muted ones.

It's a bit deep  all that, isn't it. I'll shut up now.

I'm entering this into these challenges.....

Addicted To Stamps

Pink/White

In The Pink

'Pink Plus One'

Scribble and Scrap

'Anything Goes'

Catch you all again soon!

Have a great week!

New designs from Wendy, new inspiration

Hi friends. All is well in your world I hope.

Today I have two cards for you using the new collection at All Dressed Up.

Our inspirational posts are to give you an idea of what you can do with Wendy's fabulous digis.

Please pop on over there and see what my fabulous team mates have created with these beautiful images.

For my two cards, I've used 

'Purrfect together'

and 'Rock My World'

Here's 'Purrfect Together..

I'm not brilliant at colouring cats.

I gave it my best shot though with my trusty Copics.

(If anyone knows of a Youtube tute on colouring cats, let me know)!

I've added the 'I Love My Puppy' image to this card.

The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted's 'Time To Relax'.

I would have used the lovely sentiment that comes with the digi,

 but I cut it out without making room for it! DOH!

The frame is a Marianne Designs one (I think). 

I'm awful, I rip my new toys out of the packaging but forget to name them, so never know what the heck I'm using! Anyway, I digress.

On to card number 2..

'Rock My World'

Now I got a bit clever with one.

I cut it out using the Print and Cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo.

THANK YOU STACEY!! (Big grin 'coz I did it) and coloured the image with Copics.

The papers are from Echo Park. Dots and Stripes. 

The star was cut with  Spellbinders dies.

(At least I remembered who's THEY are)! LOL

I followed our latest challenge, which is a sketch........

All details are on the All Dressed Up Challenge page on the blog.

We'd love if it you played along with us. 

Well, that's it from me.

Have a fabulous weekend and if the weather is horrendous where you are, 

stay warm and stay safe!

A new Challenge at All Dressed Up!

Here I am, back again.

This time with news of our new challenge at All Dressed Up.

We had a lovely turn out for the  last challenge and it was VERY difficult to choose the winners I can tell you! Thank you so much for all of your beautiful entries, SO much inspiration and talent.

Well the theme this time is....LOVE! You can interpret that any way you like.

You do need an ADU image to play along, but that's no problem.

There are freebies available to make it a doddle to play along with us.

Here's my sample...

The gorgeous image is available HERE.

I coloured the image with Copics and paper pieced the balloons with some

 paper from the Papermania 'Happy Birthday To You' A4 pad. 

The glittery pink paper matt is from a 6x6 ' Papermania Boofle' pad.

I look forward to seeing all the entries for this 'LOVELY' challenge!

Please stop by my fellow DT Sisters and have a look at their gorgeous samples. 

You'll be glad you did!

Have a super Day!!
