CraftyCatz challenge 134...one for the boys




Good morning and welcome to yet another fresh challenge at CraftyCatz
This week our lovely talented Linda is host, she would love to see you make a card or creation for a man/boy...now if your anything like me...this is my big dread, I am first to say I am hopeless with the man cards,just never seem to pull them off....fortunately, my team mates don't seem to have the same problem...lol.....

Here's what I came up with, I also confess it was all very last minute and all from old stash that I am trying to use up,the image I got in a RAK a million years ago but never used till now...coloured with Promarkers and like I said, the rest is old stuff that I can't even remember getting..sorry...
Side ways view, inside same as out.







This week we are so lucky to be sponsored by CraftyEmma Store



Close up of image.


Thats that out of the way, hope you'll come along and join us....
How's your week been, well thankfully the weather FINALLY picked up, it's been so nice to just get out in the garden, it has kept me away from the PC and my blog, but we have had such shocking weather, for me it was no contest at all..I need some sun and time to reflect of things that have recently happened....
Yesterday got so hot, I waited for the Grandkids to come in from School, all hot and bothered and tired...lol...not for long, water fight was on the secret menu, oh we all ended up soaked, such fun and laughter, lord only knows what the neighbours think...what am I saying..they know me...lol....but it was fun, you'd think they'd know by now, I have always done this, when my own were little it was the only way to keep them going most days, either a paddling pool, hose pipe or buckets and bowls....it's no matter, get the water out and have a blast.....even told Mia I am coming up to school tomorrow with a bowl of water ready for lunch time....her face was a picture..lol...
Well, enough of my wittering girls, I will call and see you all, proberbly when the sun goes down....hope your all ok, thanks so much for being here and take good care...big hugs Janette.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

CraftyCatz Challenge and we are still looking for new DT girls.....

Afternoon all, Thanks for popping over to see me, I know I have been very lax with everyone this last week or two, hopefully I will be back to 'normal' soon, so thanks for sticking with me...

This week at CraftyCatz our challenge is Here come the Girls, which was  chosen by our wonderful teamie Bridget....
I decided (on the very last minute ) to make a note pad, so after colouring my image with Promarkers, stamping some card with a crown design and quickly finding some scraps of dp I had a cover, then it was a matter of cutting lots of blank paper for the inside, each page was also stamped with the crown...Ran some Dovecraft ribbon down one side and stapled, the circle sentiment is from a set I won about 2 years ago, from Sassy I think...

Front cover of note pad using sponsor image...
We are sponsored by the Paper Shelter this week and they have a $20 gift cert; for one lucky winner




Quick view of the inside, used Nellie Die for top..
Thats it girls, we are still looking for more DT members, so come on and have a try, we are a friendly bunch and if you never been on a DT before, not a problem, these ladies love to help each other out..stop waiting and get on over there...

Hope your all looking forward to doing something nice for the week-end....don't know what I will be doing, if it's left to me I will do nothing at all, so shattered..lol...we will see....whatever you get up to, enjoy, have fun and I will call on you soon...big hugs, Love Janette.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dream Valley Challenge..No 32.....DT card




Hi Girls, Sorry I am so very late today with this post, just not feeling myself and had a very bad few days...will be back with you all soon I hope....

This fortnights challenge at Dream Valley is CASE the DT....so if you fancy it, just pop over to the blog, choose the card or creation you wish to have a pop at and lets see it, it does not have to be exactly the same, but we need to recognise it and you must name the DT whose project you chose......phew....that was hard going...
As always we have some fab sponsors, this time it's.......




Heres my card...I know...WHY Christmas.......no idea, but whats done is done...

Cardstock Papermill
Image LOTV from the lovely Elaine...coloured with Promarkers and lots of glamour dust
ribbon Dovecraft
Doily from lovely pal Jules
Die cuts from another lovely friend...Tilly
Stick pin one I made
Scrim...If you notice the right side of the cardstock, it's where I stuck some scrim, then heat embossed it with silver tinsel powder, then remove the scrim and the paper is patterned and you have some yummy shimmery scrim, it works with everything, even just dabbing over it with inks, looks fab and the effects can be fab, done alot last week, to be seen at a later date..lol..
 Hope to see you all soon, have a nice day, thanks for your visit, hugs Janette.xxxx
