The Sugarbowl

Feels like an age since I did any crafting. I had to make a card for a friend's birthday so decided to combine it with the current Sugarbowl challenge. The added challenge was "lace". I have used the Martha Stewart Doily punch for my lace. The cardstock and paper are Stampin' Up! Bashful Blue and the Sugar Nellie image is coloured with Promarkers.The sentiment is a Hot Off The Press stamp.

One World, One Heart and Friday Sketchers

One World One Heart is an event designed to bring bloggers from around the world together, people who may otherwise never meet.It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way.This is an INTERNATIONAL event that has and had participants from the US, Canada, France, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Malaysia, Brazil, The Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, Ireland, England,Wales, Slovenia and more. It transcends geographical location, socio economics, political affiliation, religious beliefs......it's a coming together like the giant community we are on this planet. If only it took a simple giveaway to create PEACE everywhere, in the mean time here we give from our hearts. We are not solving the worlds problems nor are we curing anything nor are we changing the world. We are merely generating a closer community between humans through blogging. Think of this as taking a giant tour of homes; you get to stop in, look around, meet the people who live there, admire and be inspired and before you go on to the next one you leave your name in hopes to win a door prize at each "home".
So far my giveaways amount to two cards but I am adding mroe as I manage to make things. Here they are


The layout of the cards was done using this week's Friday Sketchers sketch.Papers and buttons are MME Bloom and Grow and the images are coloured with Derwent Inktense pencils.

Sugar Bowl and first LO of 2010

Another great sketch and fabulous DT examples over at The Sugar Bowl. The added extra this challenge was "distressing". I used my new Tim Holtz distressing tool, which is fab and inked the edges with a brown chalk ink. Papers are Basic Grey Porcelain and the image is Sugar Nellie. I haven't added a sentiment yet until I decide who the card is for.

The photo in my last post was just crying out to be scrapped. I have based the LO on a UKS Cybercrop class called Twister and Shout by Rachel Millington. I haven't used the supplies she used and have done some things differently but the basics are all the same. The papers and embellishments are Basic Grey,Archaic I think, from a kit I got in Papercrafts, Elgin. Thanks Rachel, I am really pleased with how this turned out.

My Lovely boys and Sunday Stamper

Here is a photo taken before the school Christmas disco. Can't believe how quick they are growing up - doesn't Ryan look older than 6 though?
Yes I managed to make a card this week!!! The Sunday Stampers theme this week is "feet" - This image has feet in it so I figured it could be entered, hope Hels agrees lol!
The gorgeous ickle baby and sentiment are by Pink Cat Studio. The image is coloured with Promarkers. The stripy paper was in my stash and the cardstock is Bashful Blue from Stampin' Up!
The layout of the card is this week's Whiff of Joy sketch challenge. I wanted to enter it but forgot to use a WoJ image...duh!
Hoping to find more time to get crafty soon, thanks for visiting

The sketch was very easy to follow and my "something new" is the stamp.The is Sugar Nellie and coloured with Promarkers, papers ans MME Bloom & Grow. Apologies for the poor picture





Thought I'd share some pics of the lovely Scottish winter with you - to be minus 20C this weekend. We haven't had any more snow since Tuesday but it's so cold that nothing is thawing. Check out our new wine cooler :0)
Hope you are all staying safe & warm

Sugar Bowl time

This first card followed the sketch from the previous Sugar Bowl challenge but I missed the deadline. The image is one of the Chrismas Manga stamps from Sugar Nellie. Papers are from Kars

Here is my card for the current Sugar Bowl challenge. You had to use your fave colours so the backing paper with the pink and green Bambi's covered that. The image is from Sugar Nellie and is coloured with Promarkers. The papers are Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses. That's another card made, not many more to do now.
