CraftyCatz challenge #504 ATG


Hello again everyone, are the weeks flashing past or is it just me...!!!

This weeks challenge at CraftyCatz has the added twist, chosen by myself of Add a sentiment.
Our wonderful sponsor, who also provided our images, is Sherry West Art and you can find the Etsy shop HERE
As soon as I saw these images I had to grab them up and I hope the team have enjoyed playing with them also.
Here are two cards I made with just two of these fab images..
Is she cute or what I just love her, she is called Leila Ladybug and if you look in the shop there is a set, I only used two but the lovely team used another one. The sentiment is pc generated and she is coloured with both Copic and promarkers, the spotted DP is back to basics.
And here is the next one, same set of course.
Same as before but the DP if from The Paper Boutique, Perfect partners 8x8 pad, love it.
I did get carried away a bit with the sentiments, just amusing myself...oh and a doodle round as you can see.
Thats it again for today, I am enjoying this sunny weather, its so good to sit out isn't it, I am reading a book I put to one side at Christmas time, its called The Five by Hallie Rubenhold and its about the rippers victims, really brilliant read and not gruesome, so yes, happy camper here...
Stay safe lovely people.

Now for something silly...


Think the heat has got to me..haha...anyway, found this image from Mo Manning in a box, coloured up ages ago, made a simple book page about the times we are in, I have been doing that quite alot. 
I had just clipped it to paper before adding to my book but it amused me really, everyone has a different take on this depending I suppose, how it affects you , but she always makes me smile, a woman on the edge, all been there, I know I have..I shaded the world blue because it is from space, haha...think I may be losing it.!!!! Hope you like my fun piece and I hope you are all coping better than this poor woman.
Thats it people, hope you enjoy the rest of the day, very sunny and so hot in my back garden...Stay safe.xxx

Boredom set in....

{If your looking for my CraftyCatz post its the one below this.}

Good afternoon, how glorious is this day I so hope wherever you are its just as nice, but even with the sunshine I got a bit bored, then my lovely postman came and left these stamps I ordered from Craftstash last week, it was a bogof deal,  so thought I should have a play around. Made two little notecards.
The set is quite good as it has the wording, which I used today and also a lovely big flowery image with  the same word inset. The cards are Dovecraft, ribbon from stash and the DP, which is a card on its own is Back to Basics which I got from eBay, I did alittle bit of stamping on the envelopes just for the fun of it really, although I almost always decorate them.
Now onto another little treat I bought last week, for ever I have wanted a free style sewing foot for my machine, don't ask me why I never got one it beats the heck out of me, anyway, got one, made a little cushion with the panel I tried it out on, I can see lots of sewing shortly its wonderful, so now I have ordered a walking foot, years I have struggled....why..!!!! lifes to short, so get cracking....haha
 Right I shall get out of your hair, I hope you have a lovely weekend...


CraftyCatz challenge #502 ATG


Hello and welcome to another challenge hosted by our lovely teamie Jac, she wants the optional twist to be Paper Piecing
The sponsor this week is LBB who kindly provided our images and you can find  them HERE

I made this tag using the image TeaMei 
The paper I used was from my scrap box, I have been trying to use up, I used it to piece her dress up but added a touch of colour, the butterfly was part of the paper so I cut it out and the die is one I've had a while but rarely use. Black satin ribbon from stash.
Hope you will come along and join us.

I hope everyone is staying well, I don't think we are doing to bad, when I read about others I feel lucky.
Have a lovely day, at least we have had wall to wall sunshine this week, I was spending time in the garden and managed to find a place that will still sell and deliver bedding plants so thats cheered me up no end. Suttons if anyone wants to look for themselves. Thanks so much for being here, stay safe.xxx

CraftyCatz challenge #501 ATG


Well hello all and a Happy Good Friday morning, I hope your all doing well and trying your best to have a nice easter....if your fed up then please come along and join us, we have a fabulous sponsor for you with fabulous a prize so get creating.
Our optional theme this week, chosen by the one and only lovely bubbly Ginny is a colour theme, sponsored by Bugaboo who kindly provided the images we used and you can find them HERE



This is the colour theme
and my card using the image from bugaboo
Coloured the image with flex markers, the paper is so old, I think it was a freebie many moons ago and I finally decided to use it, a few die cuts found in the same box, very odd and ribbon that was also a freebie.
I hope you like, I think it turned out quite well considering my mojo has gone walk about for some reason..

Don't forget to come over and play along.
I hope you have a lovely day, I am so looking forward to Sunday, my eldest son Lee is bringing the boys just to the front of the house so we can see each other and I can pass on the easter eggs and some other bits I have for them, like all of you this is the hardest part of all this, but we are far more blessed than some, so, have a lovely Easter, take care and stay home...

CraftyCatz challenge #500...wow...


Hello everyone, I really hope you are all safe and well and coping.

We have our 500th challenge for you today, so come along and join in after all you can win a great prize and pass abit of time on....
Our lovely sponsor this week is DigiDoodleStudios who you can find HERE
The team were given images to use and this weeks host, Christine, added the optional theme of One for the Girls.
For my card I used 
Mindy's new boots.
I used a folder for the brickwork and then just chalked over to give abit of depth to it, the dp was an old off cut I found in my draw as were the hearts, I think I used a stencil from HobbyCraft here.   Ribbon was a last buy from Ribbon Girl before it closed, sadly.
Image was coloured with Flex markers.
Entering the following, {thanks for the memory jog Susan..}
TTCRD 
DigiDoodleStudio 

Thats it for today at least, I am trying to keep busy with those jobs around the house that get put off all the time, I thought if I can do just one aday it will ease my mind and pass time on better than just sitting about, nothing worse then wasting time is there.
If your like me, I miss hugs more than anything else, my children and grandchildren are my life's work, and to not be able to interact with them is hard going, one of my eldest grandsons Lucas, always hugs me tight when he comes in and I do miss it, when all this is over, God willing, they are all going to be in for alot of hugs and tears will be shed...haha...stay safe lovely people.xxx
