Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenge...

...this weeks theme is 'Spice it up'

Having not made a card for what seems like an eternity, I went for it. I printed out Rock Chick from the first digital collection released by Kenny K way back last year sometime in July/August. 

Coloured with copics and then I had a nightmare trying to find papers I liked. I managed to find these Basic Grey ones, eventually, after going through lots of boxes and folders under my desk. They are from the 'Lemonade Collection' and one of my favourite collections by BG to date. 

Sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps and can be found here as part of the Amongst the Stars Sentiments. Layered on nestie stars cut with the bug. I made a border star by using two dies at the same time, and then layered them on top of each other. 

Fairly simple card, one that didn't take too long to make and one which will find its way to a cousin of mine who is a minimal is more kinda' girl.

Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenge - 'Spice it up'

Thanks for popping by

I'm back, but not sure for how long...

I've just found the spring kit from Magnolia under a pile of papers destined for recycling... Had I not been keen on taking the cellophane rappers off the magazines to put the paper bits into recycling, the kit may have made a journey to the recycling plant.

Well, as some of you may have already had your kit, or wanting from the kit, I'm selling most of mine. The only stamps from the kit I'm keeping is the wheelbarrow, the butterflies and the sentiments.
So if anyone is interested and fancies the stamps below, drop me a line at dragon_spirit19@hotmail.com, the stamps are unmounted and cut out, ready for you to do as you will.


Hope to be back soon with a card or two.. Just need to find some hours in the day to be able to sit and make.

Here's the stamps...

OMG - How long.....

has it been since I posted on my blog! Christmas has been lovely being able to spend it with family and friends and now the New Year is over its all go again!

I'm trying my hardest to find my Mojo which has up and left me, but I think thats because my Mojo has no where to work at present. My craft corner is a bomb site - papers, ribbons, raffia, stamps, images and scraps are just littered everywhere. I'm hoping to get my Pencils out and have a play soon... I've neglected them way more than my blog, so I think I need to get the old sharpener out and the white spirit and have a play...

I've just bought some new Digital Images from The Paper Shelter... Its a new Digi Shop selling the cutest images from dragons, to girls to cute mice and cats (+ lots more)... I'm hoping that the digi's I've bought get made up into cards soon as I have a few birthdays coming up! Fingers crossed!

The Paper Shelter is also looking for a Design Team - Check out Donna's blog here if you are interested!

I've entered and I'm keeping everything crossed as I'm no longer on a team any more and I need a kick up the backside to start crafting again and keep this blog running!

To all of you who have sent me wishes these past few weeks thank you! If I've not replied to you, its not that I've forgot its just I've had no time to do most things lately. So, from now on, I should be around a lot more, and visiting you all lots! I've missed my hopping! 

Until then, take care all, and I hope 2011 is a good one for you!

Sugar Bowl meets Dutch Dare

Ok - I'm loving the Simply Sassy Gals from Sugar Nellie. I've read somewhere that there is going to be a blog hop soon (December 4th), to showcase set three and I'm so excited!

I've used 'Little Light of Mine' and she can be found here at Funky Kits.

I'm entering this cutie into the Sugar Bowl Challenge which is another fabulous sketch and the theme of Snowflakes and the Dutch Dare Card Challenge which is Christmas Tag/Card/Ornament! - I've gone for a non traditional card.

I've kept her simple as I really want to enter the WOW competition again over on the Sugar Nellie blog - I hope I can enter twice, if not please discount this entry!!

Coloured using Distress Inks, Linen and Hammered textured white card stock, simple sky blue card stock for layering.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts

Snowflakes are an assortment of punches I had lying around in my drawer.

and a close up ...

Thank you for stopping by my little corner of blog land. 

Please leave a comment so I can come visit you!

Sugar Nellie's Simply Sassy Round 1

Karen over at Sugar Central is holding a fabulous competition, with an unbelievable prize. 

I was in my dashboard earlier on and found it, and thought - yeah, I'l have a go. Haven't got a cats chance in hell of winning, but I've entered anyways!

Karen is offering one lucky person the chance to win a Spellbinder Grand Calibre! How cool is that! 

All you have to do to be within a chance of winning, is get your Simply Sassy Stamps that you've bought recently from Funky Kits, ink em up, colour em, and make a WOW card, that's White on White if you didn't already know hehe!

Karen wants the cards simple to show off colouring and shading skills, and to make the Simply Sassy Gals the main feature!

Well - here is my attempt - and Karen, don't shoot me ok, I know I've cheated by adding some Lace Raffia, but I have a really, really, really good excuse! I followed one of my favourite sketches from one of the Sugar Bowl Challenges which was held in July LAST year, can you believe! 

I've used plain white card for layering, and the sparkly glittered paper was from my scrap box.
Pearls were a gift from Elaine, lace raffia from Bunny Zoe Crafts.

Coloured using Distress Inks...

Swarovski Crystal gems for the centres of the flowers and a pink gem for her sock.

Here is a close up of this cutie!

Hippy Chick

Not only is Karen offering the chance to win the Spellbinder Grand Calibre, the lucky winner will also be offered a place on the Simply Sassy DT! How lush would that be! There will also be other spots available as Karen is wanting to expand the team, and why not - these gals need to be out there mingling!

I may need your votes in the near future if I get picked to go through to Round 2!

Wish me luck xx

(p.s. - dont forget my free stamp draw which I will be picking a winner tomorrow night, scroll down to my LOTV card and enter)
