New Challenge Blog!

Morning all - I do apologise for how quiet it has been over here - I have not stopped if its not been trying to catch up with getting things ready for Christmas its been school events then poor Miss A had Chicken Pox and today Miss N has started too :( - but I think I'm finally getting back on the ball now… so I'm here to share with you today something that has been in the pipeline since Novemeber - 

A good friend of mine and I were chatting and we decided that we wanted to take the plunge and open a new challenge blog - we have worked very hard behind the scenes trying to get it all together - I know there are still a few bits that need tweaking but I think they are all bits that need to be done along the way!  We have a fabulous team of talented crafters to join us so I hope you will stop by and see them all!!! 

So here we are today with our first challenge over at Creative Creations Challenges! 

We have a wonderful sponsor for our first challenge and that is 

That Craft Place

The wonderful Lisa is offering the winner a surprise gift from the store…..

Ohhh so wish I could be in with a change - Lisa is fab for products and delivery! Anyway onto the challenge  - we have kept this one nice and easy for you all - 

Anything Goes! 

So onto my creation, OK I admit i did make this a while back and so I'm not going to be able to list too many products that I used :)

The image is from Saturated canary - This is the first time I have coloured this little lady up and I loved every minute of it! She was coloured with copics and I used some of my lovely papers from my stash, 

I also used a few of my lovely dies cuts - one thats got to be the favourite of 2013 so far and thats the Dienamics I purchased this set from That Craft place and I LOVE them! The papers are all ones from my forever mounting stash! I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;

Hopeful

Afternoon, Happy Jubilee Weekend! Are you partying the long weekend away? We were meant to but.... sure enough the kids are on holiday and its tipping it down! We did have a busy day yesterday, Amelia had a little show to do over in Stoke Poges with her dance school, it was lovely and we had some friends join us there too, it was a shame about the weather, and it turned into a very late night! 

I have to tell you its been a bit of a rubbish week, things have just happened one thing after another, unfortunately we had to have my mum and dads dog sent to heaven last Thursday, its hit us all a bit, she was 16 and will be missed so much.  I haven't even had the get up and go to have my pens out, so I'm sharing a card I made at the beginning of last week.  

Meet Hopeful from Wee Stamps,   I have to say that when I made this card I was hopeful that the week was going to get better not worse! 

I fell in love with her the moment I saw her, she has a longing look, The papers are form Prima Fairy Belle collection 6x6 stack that I purchased here.  The flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts, the pin and cheese cloth are all from my stash and the butterflies die is from here.  She was coloured using Copics,

Skin - E000, E00, E02, R20

Hair - Y21, YR12, YR14, E15, E18

Top and Flower - R22, R24

Trousers - B000, B00

I die cut the circle using Spellbinders Large Circles and the went round using my SU distress tool, I then used Tim Holtz Antique Linen ink pad around the edges.

Im so happy with how she turned out,  I just hope the bug comes back again soon, I have a fir bit to get on with, hope its just a glitch with the horrid weather! I would like to enter this card into the following challenges; 

Catch The Bug - Anything Goes

Crazy 4 Challenges - Add a Butterfly

ATC's and Cards with Attitude - Anything Goes
