A little grumpie!

 
Hiya everyone, 

Today's card is my A little bit crafty DT card which I have made with a Smeared ink digi.  They are the L'il grumpies range and this little fella is called "Stumpie" - isn't he just weird and a bit cute?

The theme of the challenge is "Die-ing for it!" so I have used my nesties as well as my Tim holtz weathered clock die and my memory box old fashioned light die.  The papers I have used are from the Prima engraver paperstack which I think is fab.  The image is very quickly coloured with sandstone and pastel beige promarkers.  The this is not art is a cat's life press stamp that I just bought on ebay that I like and just had to use! Lol

I have been soooo busy the last few weeks so I quickly put this together last night but I'm really pleased how he turned out!

We have some AMAZING sponsors again this month:-

Blog candy!!!!

 
Hiya everyone, 

Since I started up the A little bit crafty challenge I haven't been having candy but I managed to get my mitts on a rare Quickutz fancy photo corner die so I thought I would offer it up as a bit of sweet candy!  I already have one so I don't need another!  This is new but not in the original packaging - I use my ALL the time!

I will keep this candy open till 27th August which is my birthday and then I will draw 1 lucky winner!

There are NO rules, NO restrictions - just add your name to Mr Linky to be in with a chance!
Good luck!

House Mouse & Friends - Charming!

Hiya everyone, 
Today sees a brand new challenge over at the House Mouse & Friends Monday challenge.  The theme today is "Use a charm" so I decided to use this Joanna Sheen sample I made a few weeks ago which I made using the new House Mouse triple CD rom.   It is one of the many printed toppers which I printed twice - once cut in a circle and the other I just cut round the bird.
I decided against using the matching paper for this image as I wanted to do a white-on-white card and it ended up looking like this!  It's a bit difficult to photograph but I'm pleased with how it looked in the end.
There are 2 fab prizes up for grabs:-
A £10 gift voucher from sponsor Joanna Sheen

AND

This Wooden Stamp Turning Over A New Leaf (HMKR1045)


 I hope you join me and the rest of the DT in our new challenge!
Thanks for looking!

Bugoboo Birthday Monster







 
Hiya everyone, 
 
Here I have a card I made with a Bugaboo image called "Birthday monster - cake" which is my DT card for my A little bit crafty challenge.  As it's the 15th it's time for our midway reminder post.  The theme for this month is "Something sweet" and I couldn't resist this little cutie.  I have been really busy of late including being published in July Making Cards magazine which hit the shops yesterday!

Anyhoo, I knocked up this CAS card up last night with my new Amy Tangerine "Sketchbook" paperstack that was a £2.99 bargain in my local TK Maxx.  The sentiment is a Penny Black stamp which was a gift off my crafty friend Elaine Rayworth.

We have some great sponsors so we have some great prizes up for grabs - Please go here to enter the challenge!

My card has been made with the new Joanna Sheen House Mouse triple CD and was actually one of my samples for the TV launch.  It's quite plain but then again men's cards tend to be don't they?  A bit of twine and a few buttons as well as those fab papermania mini scrabble letters to spell out "You rock"
