Gingersnaps Challenge 64 - Red, Orange and Yellow

This is my fist official challenge card for the Gingersnaps group over at Yahoo. They are having a summer heatwave over there, obviously in a different part of the Country to me!

This is for the Colour challenge - Red, Yellow and Orange, I've also followed a sketch set for an extra challenge.

Lili of the Valley - Here Comes Summer

Afternoon bloggers, well I've been very good this morning and done all my jobs, so now I can play. I made this one last night for the Lili of the Valley challenge "Here Comes Summer" thankfully this challenge still has a week to go, unlike the Just Magnolia one I missed. I'll post it later anyway.

I've used my new Manga stamp "Tiny Tiddler" from Funky Kits, she is just so pretty. Coloured her with Promarkers for a change. They are now in a pot on my desk so are quick to hand. The papers are all from a DCWV stack and DCWV linen cardstock. Added a bit of cord and threaded some through eyelets (punched with another new tool - the Crop-a-dile which is fab) and attached a fishy charm.

One Stop Craft challenge

This week it's a lovely colour challenge set by Suzi who has chosen

It's one of my lovely new Manga Stamps "Pet's Corner" coloured in Orange and Denim Blue Promarkers. The papers are Papermania - For Him.

Totally Gorjuss DT Challenge 15 - Paper Piecing

What can we say except WOW, we have never had so many entries as we did last week, has word finally got round about Totally Gorjuss? Thank you to all who joined in.

Net has set another fab challenge this week "Paper Piecing" this is one of my favourite techniques, just wish I'd not left it so late to make my card.

I've used one of the fab new Manga stamps from Funky Kits "Bloom and Grow" (delivered within 24 hours of ordering!) and papers of the same name by My Mind's Eye (a big favourite too) only the skin and hair is coloured with Copics.



Hope you'll all pop over and join us in this week's challenge.

New Cards

I've been busy trying to get a variety of cards into my stockpile as I've got a stall to do at a Fundraising day next Sunday, I was in need of some male cards and as not everyone likes cute cards thought I'd add some humerous ones too. Still need to do a few more, but I'm sure there will be an occasion I forget, there usually is. Here's some of them anyway.


These are two of the new Manga stamps from Funky Kits. They are fabulous and great fun to colour. I even had a go at black hair for a change.



The next ones are from a Stamp set by Creative Expressions called "Murray and Ethel" these are just the Ethel ones, still to do Murray.

The males ones are Charmed Cards digital downloads from the "Mikey Collection" . I've not really used downloads before so it was trail and error printing them to the right size, also found the images kept smudging. Think I've cured this with a blast of the heat gun though.
