Spooktacular Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge!

Welcome to another challenge from Stampin' for the Weekend.

This week we have a fabulous sponsor :D

Donna is a good friend and is sponsoring this weeks challenge with her latest Backing Paper Disc - Designer Extreme Vol III. Donna is also one of our Guest Designers along with Tracy and Beccy (lil sis).

So please do check out their blogs to see what amazing cards and projects they've come up with this week!

This weeks challenge is Halloween Themed so we want to see all of your spooktacular and fangtastic creations!

This week I have used a La-La Land Stamp - its the cute Whiskers with Pumpkin!

I've coloured him with Copics and done a tiny little bit of highlighting. I've used the papers I was sent in my DT package from Irina a little while ago, so I'm sorry I have no makers!

Here is a little close up of Whiskers - Who is ready and raring to go Trick or Treating!

Please check out the Design Teams Blogs and also our Guest Designers!

Have a fabulous time creating your Cards and projects!

Thank you for popping by!

La - La Lands Weekly Wednesday Challenge 9!

Wow - So many lovely Christmas/Winter Themed cards and projects last week - Thank you all for playing along.

The theme this week at La-La Land Crafts is 'SPARKLE' - So get your glue and glitter out crafters and get messy :D

I'm keeping with the Christmas/Winter theme this week and I've used Candy Cane Clover! Isn't she sweet! I love her little booties! Added my Sparkle to the Candy Cane - Not sure if it would be very edible with all that glitter but it looks good, hehe!

I've coloured her with Copics, and used some Papermania Card stock and Paper Stack I had lying around from last year! Added a little Charm of a Candy Cane and a little bow I tied!

I am entering this card for two challenges:

Mojo Monday - A lovely Sketch which I enjoyed using, check out the challenge blog to see the sketch in full.

Stamp Something - Which was to add some BLING!! (Check our the corners and the Candy Cane!)

To enter the La-La Land Challenge and to find out what you have to do to be in with a chance of winning, head over to La-La Land Crafts Blog!

Remember to check out the Teams Blogs too to see what gorgeous La-La Land stamps they've used this week!

Guest Design Card for Crafty Cardmakers!

Hello everyone!

Vixy kindly asked me when I offered some help if I would like to be a Guest Designer for Crafty Cardmakers just before the challenge blog went live. Of course I had to think long and hard about it! and so here I am, and obviously I said yes! Well, I was never going to say No - was I hehe!! :)

This weeks challenge is Autumn Themed. So I have gone with browns, oranges, lefty greens and a rich red colour. Hopefully I have done the challenge justice!

I have used a Magnolia Fall 2007 Stamp and coloured her using Copics. I then stamped again and coloured and cut out some of the smaller flowers and layered them on top.

I have used Papers from the Bearly Mine Designer Extreme Vol III which were just perfect for this challenge! I matted them on to Papermania Textured Card Stock, had fun arranging them until I was happy, then stuck them down. I popped the image on top and thought the card was looking bare.

I had some pinky/red roses which came on wired stems, so I cut the heads off, I curled the green stems ready to be glued. I coloured and arranged a couple of skeleton leaves, then stuck a larger flowers down, followed by the roses and stems. Three red buttons for the side and a Papermania Sentiment.

Here is a little close up if the image - Not sure if you can make out the little leaves which I have Decoupaged, but I'm sure you get the idea :D

And one of the flower arrangement.

Thank you for popping by. I hope you have fun with the challenge - there are endless possibilities!

Check out the Design Teams cards for more inspiration :D

Totally Gorjuss meets Friday Sketchers 74!

Hello...

I had a play this evening and have created this card for two challenges - The first one is for Friday Sketchers - its a lovely sketch to work with and I love the Tag element!

The second Challenge is for Totally Gorjuss. This challenge is brand new and its for Gorjuss Girls only :D So go show your support by inking up one of those Gorgeous Gorjuss Girls and get creating with a theme of PINK!!

Here is the Sketch

Here is my little card I made this evening. I've used papers from DCWV and Card from Papermainia. I coloured my little girl with Copics and added some highlights with the trusty Inkssentials pen.

The swirls on the sketch I adapted and used some Papermania Shimmer Dots which I had lying around.

A little close up of her!

Thanks for popping by!

Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge 20

Good Friday Morning to you all!

This week we have a lovely Sketch for you by the Talented Amy who is my lovely Design Team Buddie!

Our sponsor this week is Whiff of Joy Stamps and the lovely Katharina is going to give one lucky crafter a fabulous Animal Party Stamp - Check out the Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge Blog to find out which stamp!

I've used Charlotte in Sledge for this card and coloured her and her little friend with Prisma Colour Pencils. I've used Papers from the Bearly Mine Designs - Designer Extreme Vol III Disc! I love these Christmas papers and you can colour co-ordinate them with the inserts too (I didn't have time to photograph the insert, but it was a lovely festive one - I wish I could take a photo but the cards been packaged up for my Mum to sell or give away as she feels fit)

A little close up of Charlotte!

I kept the card fairly simple and I was in two minds of doing it again, but Ran out of time! I found the image got a little lost so I know for next time!

Please check out the Design Teams cards and also - our two Guest Designers this week, Jerusha and Tracy!

As of Monday I will be back at work and I am unsure as to how much time I can give to card making on the whole. I may be around to make cards for fun, however, I will definitely be making cards for any Design Teams I am part of as its not in my nature to let people down!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
