Baby feets.....awww!!

Hi everyone!! 

I'm back with another make for Funky Daze month using the Funky Daze original CD ROM. This CD is actually one of my first ever buys from Funky Hand all those years ago! I am so proud to of been on the Funky Hand design team for a number of years now, Anice's papers just rock.

I used my trusty silhouette to cut out the teeny feet for the card in the scraps of paper from my make I shared on yesterday. Then I embossed them with my embossing tool and foam mat and glued them on with my hot glue gun so they keep their dimension!!! too cute!! I love that blue and brown colour combo (... and its always really handy that all the papers in each colourway match up for use as it stops my brain hurting!! lol!!) a few white gel pen dots on the Baby word and a bit of ink around the edges and it was done!!

So, whats on the CD you ask?? From the cool blues and greens of Monday Morning to the vibrant pink and black of Saturday shopping you are sure to find a collection of backing papers that will be perfect for your next craft project, papers and wordbooks all ready for you to print and go!!!

please pop in to the Funky Daze CD ROM page in the shop and check out the gallery of makes the DT have in there already.

Also, all the original CD ROM's are available on the Funky Hand website for just £1.00 each.  You can't go wrong with them really!

Hello...

Hi everyone!! 

Its time for me to share my first make for Funky Daze month using the Funky Daze original CD ROM. This CD is actually one of my first ever buys from Funky Hand all those years ago! I am so proud to of been on the Funky Hand design team for a number of years now, Anice's papers just rock.

I used my trusty Blue Prints 7 die set to create a gorgeously CAS card with the Thursday colourway. I love that blue and brown colour combo (... and its always really handy that all the papers in each colourway match up for use as it stops my brain hurting!! lol!!) a few white gel pen dots and some edgey scruffing up with my scissors was all this little card needed!!

So, whats on the CD you ask?? From the cool blues and greens of Monday Morning to the vibrant pink and black of Saturday shopping you are sure to find a collection of backing papers that will be perfect for your next craft project, papers and wordbooks all ready for you to print and go!!!

Happy 1st April!!! I have a gorgeous Gardener Gayle make to share with you all today.

My friend Vicky gave me a little task for a card for her mum- she loves gardening, flowers and she has a little blackbird that visits her garden everyday! phewsh?!! nahhhh!! I had all the bits I needed for this cutie!!!!

I just flowered and even got brave squeezing a little yellow into my colouring! go me!!!!!

The wind seems to of dropped a little this morning and the sun is shining so I am not sure what Mo wants to get up to today! at the minute he is soaking up some Tinkerbell and the neverbeast movie time!

Blue Skies....

Image- Sailor Boys set from mo's Digital Pencil.

Papers- Aye Aye Captain from Nitwit collections.

Promarkers- Midnight blue, Denim blue, pastel blue.

Burnt orange, coral, sunkissed pink,blush.

Warm grey 1-3.

Satin and blender pen.

I'm back!! 

Its time for a new challenge over on the Passion for Promarkers challenge blog, which has been set by our gorgeous Julie from Team 1 and she has chosen...

“blue skies”.  

For this challenge Julie would like you to use shades of blue on your projects.  We will of course accept skin and hair colours and very slight touches of other colours i.e. grass but the predominant colours must be blues.  Don’t forget you can make anything you want, it doesn’t have to be a card, all creations are welcome.  As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers) and of course follow the theme.

Our generous sponsor this week is Little Claire Designs and they are offering one lucky winner a beautiful stamp set called ‘Changing Birdhouse’.

I made a bodge with this one at first and used too much colour in my DT make so last night a little emergency card had to be made...but lets be honest..its never bad to need to have a lil crafty time! he he!! and oh boy did my little sailor boy turn out cute.

To crop off his feet I simply taped my little die cut circle over where he was going to print out adding an extra strip of my magic selotape over the part where his little legs would be, the printer ink goes onto the seloptape and when you peel it off, there's your image cropped! easy peesy and ooooh so cute for this little circle!! my magic tape is low tack so peels off the image piece right away when you take it out of the printer, the reason this piece below has some white paper stuck on it is because I took off my image piece and left this bit of tape on the scrap piece overnight!!)

A little bit of colour, some whispy dotty clouds and wohoooo! I saved my butt just in time!! he he he!!

Right, thats me for today I promise!!

I think this stamp set is one of my most used tiddlies, there is just something so magic about how happy it makes me feel colouring it in! and I just had the best time making her a happy little card base with the gorgeous papers I chose from Doodlebug Designs, they are just adorable and i so need to order me another pad before they disappear!! I think I have used this pad 4 times this week already!!

Right, I am off to make Mo some pancakes for breakfast, I make them from a banana and an egg! so cool!! they go all fluffy and delicious! and I just add some fresh fruit by the side of them. Last night I dipped some strawberries in chocolate so he gets an extra easter holiday treat on the plate! he he! I so love the holidays!
