CraftyCatz challenge #476 ATG


Hello and sorry for being late, I can't think of an excuse so I won't even try...
This weeks challenge is hosted by our Boss lady AuntySue, it was originally Dianne's but she is still on leave so Sue stepped in. It really is ATG, no twist this week, so do your thing.
Our sponsor is DisDigiStamps
 
Here is my card
Gorgeous little image from LOTV, coloured with Pro markers, various dies used, the scallop circle is sizzex I think, DP from a pad I bought a while ago in the Pound shop.
That's it I best get this thing posted before I get shot. Thanks so much for your comments, really appreciate and I will get back to you.
Have a lovely weekend, we have a had a week of solid rain and looking at the forecast we are in for it until at least Monday, oh well, what can we do. Bye for now, hugs from me.xx

Its that Gnome again.


Hello all, I did warn you I would be back so please just go with it.
Here he is the other Gnome, so flippin cute.
The image is from KLM designs on Etsy you can find them HERE
OK, coloured with pro markers, papers are Paper Designer pad...gorgeous.... and it has lots of extra bits in like the curved banner at the top, dies were from a friend, lots of glossy accents on those bulbs, his boots and his nose for some strange reason and glitter of course.
Hope you like as much as I do, I have a friend who doesn't craft and just can not see the appeal in any of it especially my sweet Gnomes...how could she, good job I am very understanding don't you think...ha ha...wish she did craft though we could share keep trying to get her interested but some people really don't 'get it'.... but she's a good friend so it doesn't really matter.

Ok, hope you all have a lovely weekend.Hugs from me.xxxx



CraftyCatz challenge #475 ATG


Good morning welcome to another CraftyCatz challenge, this week we have our usual ATG plus the optional theme which was chosen by our teamie Christine and its Say Thank you.
Our sponsor is Little Blue Button who kindly supplied our images.

I made this little note card using  Sophie, she is cute I thought.

Coloured using my pro markers, now that DP is from a MC mag from 2014 I believe....why oh why did I keep it that long and why oh why do I still have some left...please tell me I am not alone in this silliness...ha ha

So that's it for now, hope you will find time to come join us and see what the girls all created.
I have another post coming up shortly, guess what, its the other 'Gnome', he is soooo cute...hope you can find your way back. Have a lovely day.xxx

Happy Saturday.


I thought I would just pop this on while I can, been making cushions this morning for Mia, the colours are her choice but I had to add the white, to boring for me otherwise, she gets it, she knows me to well, this is the first to the finish line, the house is a wreck, cotton everywhere so a big clean up now, but she has one cushion, OMG, the days where I could whip stuff up are gone, ha ha, will keep you up to date with the next one, we decided to go for different designs so this should be fun all the way...
The grey material is from a pair of curtains from Ikea, we had to cut and hem so waste not and all that, the white is Slub denim from Empress mills I think, gorgeous stuff it really is, made the buttons to match and left the pocket open so she can stash bits and bobs.
Not the best pics the light is so bright today...lucky us..
Hope you think its a nice make and not a waste of a day...hugs from me.xxx

Happy Saturday..


Well at long last the sun is shining and yet I picked this day to make Christmas cards...go figure.!!!!!!!!!!
How could I resist, I saw this the other day and had to have him and his pal, two gorgeous Gnomes and because our sweet Jacob loves Gnomes soooo much, what was a good Nana to do...
The image is from KLM Designs on Etsy and you can find him and many more right HERE.
coloured with Pro markers, the papers are from a prize I won on Liz's blog Buttonsforbrains and when it came I was more than surprised at how much was in the magazine, you will be seeing lots, here is a picture I took to show a friend

 I was gobsmacked, thanks Liz, I felt so lucky to win.

Inside is simple with torn vellum, stamped with yet more stamps from the mag....
I am adding this into the following challenges.

CraftyCatz challenge #473 ATG, {we are back, come on down.}


Well we are back from our 'Summer' break, not quite the summer we all wished for but still...So now its September and we are staring Autumn in the face, I don't mind I happen to love the seasons, couldn't stand to be the same day in day out, but more summer would be good...
OK, on with the new challenge which is hosted by our lovely Boss Lady AuntySue, she wants the optional twist to be Hi/Welcome
We are very happily sponsored by Bugaboo who provided the teams images and you can find them and so so many more HERE

For my card I used
 Make it snappy and Friend.
 I coloured the image up with Brush markers then copied it and sized it down on the pc to make the film strip, I recently got the free jig-saw die in a mag and used that in part, the' Hello' die is from Diamond press and the paper is CraftSensations.
Hope you will pop over and see what the team made, so many lovely samples.

Happy Wednesday..


Hi everyone, just a quick post today, I joined in a shout on FB to send out a card or two for a retirement home, so I headed off and made this, although since then I really should have sent one from the MANY I have in boxes...DOH...
Anyway, I used a LOTV image I purchased recently, coloured with pro markers and pencils, dies are Diamond press DP is from a pad I got in B&M I think..
Not my best work but its the thought that counts..{.keep telling myself that....}
So this was my day so far. 
The weather here is dreadful, cold and rain and strong winds, looks like summer has done a bunk for sure so bring on Autumn....Hope wherever you are all is well.
I am entering the following.
Think that's it, please don't forget CraftyCatz is back on Friday, we are all looking forward to it I know, hope to see you all there....Thanks for the visit, hugs from me.xxx
