Sentiment and flowery fronds from SU tiny tags.

Morning Peeps!!

Today is an extra special Fetch A Sketch challenge day as for their sins Ruth and Jenny are letting me loose on my first sketch!!!!!  so as you can guess I am totally nervous about it as I have never made a sketch before so be gentle with me!! lol!!!

So here it is........

Remember that you can flip the sketch, rotate it, resize it and make any type of project you like with it as long as we can see the original sketch in your creation we'll be happy!  Simples!! :)


Now for this challenge I am very very super duper excited to introduce a new sponsor..the very awesomely talented Krista Smith from Saturated Canary...squeeee :) (Thank you  so much krista mwah mwah xxxxxxxxxx)

 

and she has generously offered 2 digi's to our challenge 28 winner...squeeeeee!!!! 


And as another special treat (...says Lou hoping it works and someone uses it to enter....purleaseeee!!!) I made the sketch into a Make The Cut cutfile using my Make the Cut software!!

Its my first go at making a file that works along to a sketch so I would love to see it used :)


Here's a link to my MTC cutfile.


I hope you enjoy the new challenge and sketch! I can't wait to see if anyone uses it!!! (...Lou gulps nervously and hopes all her bloggy buddies take pity on me and enter...:) )

Getting Funky on a sunday!!!

Papers from Wishes and Kisses from Funky Hand.

Morning Peeps...well just barely! its almost lunchtime here!!! :) we have been having a very lazy morning here in the Daubney household. Mo and I are still in our pj's and scott has just got back from walking the fluffy princess so she is softly snoring on her bed and Mo is watching 'Journey 2 the mysterious island'.......again!!!! he he he!!! its a lovely little peeps film. Its so cute because everytime they make it through the cave we hear "its beautiful" then " I need a mini elelphant..." 

So I thought I would share a little book I made using the awesome new Wishes and Kisses cd rom from Funky Hand. I had the 'you're engaged' colourway to play with and I love it! it is just about perfect for everything!!!! especially a beach loving little mo.......

 I used the giftcard template to make a little folder to hold some of Mo's favourite beach piccies in. I trimmed a slither of each of the photographs for the page of my little surfer dude! I popped a mini eyelet through each one and a bit of twine, I really like the effect it made.

 The best thing about Funky Hand cd roms is that Anice takes a very long time making sure that all the papers in each colourway go together tickety boo no matter which ones you choose. For this next page I chose 2 totally different papers and they look awesome together. I ripped some big holes in them to poke a little mo and his poem through!!

 For the last couple of pages I used 5 different papers, you can just about see the little green paper cut with my cheery lynn die behind the piccies of me and scott with mo-ster.
I cut the mummy and daddy with my lord tim chip block die and some scraps of yellow card from my scraps box...which is completely over flowy again and I need to sort that out....:)

Now, while I remember Anice will be on Create & Craft on wednesday morning at 8am and 11am so don't forget to tune in and see some more awesome samples and the Wishes and Kisses cd in action!! if you can't wait until then there are some fabulous videos from Anice over on the Funky Hand website.

Right, I had better think about getting dressed really. We are off out for a big family of 12 meal with my dad and my little sisters. I am so looking forward to it because my big sister will be there too and I haven't seen her properly for a few weeks. Watch out chinese restaurant here we come!!!!! Mo is especially excited as Boo and Jake haven't been before and he wants to show them everything they can choose from!!!!

thank you for popping in on me

Saturated Canary challenge 21- Bling it out!!!!

Image- FIN-Tastic from the Saturated Canary Digi Shop

Paper- Rainbow Stripeys Stripes

Gingham yellow from Craft the Year Away

Afternoon Peeps!!

Its that time of the week again when the canaries over on the Saturated Canary Challenge Blog set you into another awesome challenge (..squee! I have loved the last 3 saturated canary challenges but this one...oooooh!!!) and this week we want you to...

Bling It Out!!!!

super yey!! what crafty peep does not love a bit of bling and sparkly???!!!!! I went for bling in the form of yummy glitter!! I used my copic spicas on her bikini and my glitter for some sea. The beach ball and bucket are made with a pearlescent red card too so bling,bling,bling baby!!!! :)

The card itself is a biggy, its a 7.5x7.5 inch one and its pearlescent too, hard to see in piccy :( I made the cloud background on it with my faded jeans distress ink.

The Funky Hand papers are just perfect because they remind me of deck chair fabric and each towels!!! and the yellow is my hope that the UK will see a summer soon.......he he he!!!

The little bucket and beach ball are a Hello Kitty sizzix die. I tied some twine around the bucket handle. The sentiment is pooter printed onto some MFT flag stix die cuts. I LOVE my flag stix!! they are such a yummy die for just making something look real neat! I wrapped a bit of twine around the sentiment and added a little starfish charm to it too.The doily was sitting on my crafty desk (...yeah..all who know me well will know everything sits on my craft desk....!!!)so it kinda got splonked on there too!!!

The funniest thing about making this card was of course my little Mo. He sat happily watching me colour in on sunday and then he said "mamma, do you know that girl must have steel swimmy bottoms on because that shark is going to bite her butt"....oh my did I giggle!!!!!

So, Please pop on over to the Saturated Canary Challenge blog and see what my awesomely talented teamies have made to inspire you along your way!!!

Thank you so much for popping in on me!

Afternoon Peeps!!

I am having a lovely day today. My grandad is here watching the airshow with Scott and Mo (...well, Mo keeps floating back home for munchies!!!) so I have had some crafty time   to do a couple of pages in the scrapbook I have been doing for one of my friends baby, Riley.

Leah had popped a little piccy of Riley smiling(..ok so you probably think its wind because he was only 2 weeks oldish when the piccy was taken but I think its a smile!!!)

so I based these 2 pages around the smile.

The verse is from my fiskars baby stamp set and the magnolia Edwin is one of my absolute favs. Here's the first page with the tag on....

 and here's the second page with Riley on...awwwwwwwwww he's sooo cute!!!

 And here's how they go together......

There must be some awesome trick to taking photo's of scrapbook pages....unfortunately I don't know it because they always look soooo pants!!!!!

A bit of a different christening card..

 Morning Peeps!!!


How are we all today? good I hope. We are just having a vegging out weekend this weekend because it is RAF Waddington's annual airshow...and we pretty much couldn't get anywhere if we wanted too!! romfl!!!! the traffic is buzzing with huge tailbacks as I look out of my bedroom window!!! but the show is so fantastic. We have been watching the planes arrive all week and they are some very exciting ones...along with some very noisy ones!! the black eagles have been the noisiest so far!!!


So onto my share for today!!! I made this christening card a few weeks ago for my friends gorgeous little girl,Ella. I had been making the traditional kinda cards for everyone else to give her so decided on something a little different from us.
I love christenings because they are just so special. I used my new memory box wreath die and butterfly border die for it, I knew exactly what I wanted to make when I bought the dies from the craft show in the morning before Ella's christening in the afternoon. I love it when a card gets you like that and comes out just as you wanted it too. 
I cut the wreath in both white linen paper and my crab apple too nitwits paper ( twice for that one so I could wumpf up the wreath frame around the verse). I then put the white linen one through my printer and printed out the verse and tucked it back into the nitwits paper frame and taped them together.


Then I cut out my butterfly border and added each little butterfly to the frame. My photo isn't that great of the front but I was in such a rush to leave I almost forgot to take any picture at all!! so it was a bit of a click and go! I did remember to lay it down though so you can just about make out the popped up little wings on the butterflies!!

Well, that about it for this morning!! I have some very exciting stamps to play with!! so I am going to indulge myself in those whilst Mo is pootling around. He is having a pj day today (...I was too until I spilt marmalade down my pj top and trousers from my toast...derrrr messy pup!!!)
OOOOOHHHHH!!! and super exciting for me!!! I am featured in the papercrafts Inspirations magazine!! it is out for subscribers already and due in the stores on the 4th July but here's a little piccy of my Mo Manning man card!!!! I cannot tell you how awesome I felt to be asked to share this so I am smiling from ear to ear!! its down at the bottom left of the page!!! squeeeeeeeee!!!!

Have an awesome day everyone and thank you so much for popping in on me!!!

Papers- CardMakers by Kim Macfarlane.

Morning Peeps!!

How are you all this morning? I am just getting ready for work but I wanted to share a couple of super cute card made with a couple of the digi's from Lilyboo Designs new release!!!

I don't know about you peeps but I am a complete sucker for pets, I just love them, I don't know if its because I have a fur baby myself but I do just love seeing those cards with animals on!! 

The papers I used on them are Kim Macfarlane's CardMakers and they are just sooo neat and totally gorgeous, they are all done digitally, layered up with beautiful papers but the best part is that they are just printed out in a single layer so all you need to do is add your image!!!! which is great for quicker makes and for posting as the layers are flat so postage costs won't be so high. How cool is that?!!!
