Look - No Design Paper !!!!

   
Hi

Here's a card I've made using a Digi Image from Cuddly Buddly called Emmy. 

I've coloured the image using Copic Markers and instead of using design papers I've embossed the main card.

I'm going to enter this card into this week's Digital Tuesday Challenge where the theme is Red, White & Blue.

WOYWW 07.07.10

Hi Everyone

I cannot believe that it is Wednesday again, this week really has flown by. 

Here's my desk today :

I've been busy making gifts for the boys to give to their teachers, teaching assistants and school dinner ladies at the end of term.  They aren't quite finished yet, I still need to add some flowers and little tags to them. I am going to fill them with some chocolates, but I will do this nearer the time as otherwise they will melt and become one big chocolate blob - not a good gift !!!!

I will have to make something different for Edward's teacher,  I don't think a pretty bag would be his thing lol !!!  I need to make something else - probably a school satchel.  I will still pop some chocolates in though. 

Here are a couple of pictures of Thomas - he has found a new place to lie - in the bath !!!  He says it is cooler in there on these hot days - he's not daft you know.  Nothing of Pablo again, he's become a little camera shy lately.

I quite like these photos, they really show off Thomas' spotty coat. 

Anyway, hop on over to Julia's Blog to find out all about WOYWW, feel free to join in if you dare - the more the merrier !!!

WOYWW 30.06

   
Wednesday again already time for WOYWW!!!! 

Not a lot's happening here really.

I've got a card I'm working on using an image from Spesch Designer Stamps.  I still need to finish colouring it before I put it all together.  Also, can you see what came in the post for me today?  Yeah it's a WOYWW Easel courtesy of our super leader Julia.  Thanks for sending this Julia, I love it.

So, what have the Kitty Cats been up to? Well, there's nothing of Pablo this week -  he is really struggling in this hot weather, so I thought best to leave him alone.  As for Thomas, he got hold of an old envelope and had a great time .....

"Oooh what's this?  Mmmm a nice brown envelope"

"Hey I can rip bits of, I wonder if it tastes nice?"

"Urrgh - that's nasty, and it's sticking to my tongue !!!!"

He He He - do you think that will teach him not to steal?  No way - if it ain't glued down he'll 'ave it  !!!

Anyway, I'm off to have a spy at all the other WOYWWers desks now, if you stop by Julia's place you'll find a handy Mr Linky list if you fancy spying too.  Thanks for stopping by today.

She's not a Bengal Cat !!!!

  

Hi

Today I want to show you this card I've made using a Digi Image from Spesch Designer Stamps.  This image is called Cheshire Cat, isn't she great ?!!

 
I coloured the image using my new Promarkers.  I managed to get quite a few half price at Hobbycraft, but there are some more to get that I think will help when it comes to shading etc. 
I've also used some Orange Copic Spica Glitter Pen in her hair to give it some sparkle, unfortunately this doesn't show very well in my photo, but it is there honest!!!!
Go give a little dimension to this card I used some 3D Foam for my matting and layering.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge: Let's Go Digital
Oh Alice: Twinkle Twinkle
Corrosive Challenge: Flowers
The ABC Challenge: X is for Xtra Dimension

Recipe:

Charisma Cardz GDT - One for the Boys

  
Hi

Well, it's my last week as a GDT Member over at Charisma Cardz  :-(
I'd like to thank Carlyann and the rest of the Team for having me, I've had a great time :-)

This week's theme is "One for the Boys" and we were given his great Digi Image from the Digi Stamp Boutique to work with.

Here's my card:

I coloured this one with a mixture of Copics and Promarkers.  I used Copics for the character's face and Promarkers for the all the rest.  I'm new to Promarkers, I got these at the weekend from Hobbycraft as they were selling them half price.  Now I can never resist a bargain and needless to say I now have loads of Promarkers, I just need to practise with them at bit.  I also used some chalk for the background detail.

The card, paper, ribbon and clips are all from my stash.

So, hop on over to Charisma Cardz and take a look at the work of the talented Design Team and join in with this week's challenge.  Also whilst you're there check out the amazing challenge they have on at the moment to celebrate Carlyann's Wedding - this is one you really won't want to miss !!!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you like it.

WOYWW 23.06

  

Hi There WOYWWers

I'm a little late today with my desk and I'm afraid to say that all I can offer you is a pile of stuff !!!!!

This week my desk has become something of a place to dump things!!! I need to sort it out and put things away.  In the meantime, I am crafting on my knee in front of the TV - you'll be pleased to know that I am NOT watching the football though and from what I hear I'm not missing much either !!!!

Here's a couple of photos of Thomas to keep you contended through the week.   I have to say that this sunny spell is a little too much for my two, they usually like to sit on a sunny window sill and watch the world go by, but it is a little too hot even for them!!!  Pablo has taken to camping out on the bathroom floor, or in the bath.  I think he finds it cooler there.  

Thomas stole a clothes peg today !!!!

Anyway, time for me to hop and have a nose around, don't forget to stop by and say hello to the other WOYWWers, you can find a Linky List over at Julia's place.
