I did it Creations Challenge

How beautiful is this image from Stitchy Stamps, I got to pick this for our Special Occasions challenge this week!  She just was begging to be coloured up and for some reason I grabbed a peach orange for her dress and immediately loved it!

I have stamped a sentiment in the card, as I didnt want too much more than the Enjoy on the front.

My youngest daughter has already claimed this card for one of her friends.. so thats encouraging!

So are you ready to play?

First of all pop on over to the Challenge blog and see what's going on, look at all the DT projects and see if there is a freebie up for grabs!

This week you will have a chance to win a prize from Stitchy Stamps, but to be in the running for this prize you must use the sponsors image.

Have fun everyone and don't forget the I did it Forums and up and running!

I did it Creations Challenge

Our theme for this weeks challenge is Red, white and blue, 

Robyn of Robyns Fetish put her hand up to Sponsor us at the last minute... (me secretly rubbing my hands together as this meant... I get to choose another wonderful image to play with.. and I love Robyns images~)

I chose this image

I played with Digital Scrapbook Artist to save some time.. and here is what the card looks like before colouring the image and then coloured and printed, the printer must of been on fast print? as the colours are way off.

I think if I wanted to print digital cards more often I would have to try alternate card stock, as this looks very flat on the matt card stock.  I don't even know if the printer would like to print on gloss.. maybe I'll test that next time!

My funny card story is a little bit silly, I will have to tell you about Mothers Day this year.
I made two seperate cards both very different and the sentiments in each were based on the mothers recieving them.  My mother, likes cherished thoughts, love and mushy.. while my husbands mum likes jokes and laughs..
Imagine their shock when they get the wrong cards, my mother in law thought it was funny that she got flowers and sooky sentiments while my mother was just plain old dissapointed with jokes, laugh's and a silly little image.. so much so she gave me the card back!! NICE one MUM!!

Im playing along in the Aifactory Challenges with Red White and Blue this week.

Mermaids and Candy

Beautiful beautiful Mermaids, apparently they can be nasty creatures protecting their underworld treasures.. but Fanyella Stamps over at I did it creations really mustn't know that.  Her Mermaid design is so very lovely and beautiful.  I couldn't help but to glitter her up and add her to this project!

I did it Creations challenge day

Hi everyone, whats happening on the challenge blog this week?

Well we were asked to "BE CREATIVE" with an open challenge theme...

I got to play with an image from TREES AWARD IN DIGITAL STAMPS 

and I chose a little boy image (Little Joey)  as I rarely make cards for boys.. yikes.. I then thought how am I going to be creative with this image, as its such a beautifully drawn image and I didnt want to take away from that with glitz and ribbons etc and i wanted to keep the image MALE!

My creativity may not be obvious immediately, but its in the form of new techniques.

My colouring with ditress inks and daubers trying to learn new ways to colour backgrounds, and

using a nestability to create a scalloped card base.. I actually like the result of both!

Pop on over to the challenge blog and enter your projects in the links section.

is not necessary to enter the challenge.

First of all here is my card, our challenge this week is sponsored by the CRAFTY PAD and we were given this cute little guy to play with!  

Challenge #8 - Christmas in June. Make a project using a Christmas Theme plus colors Red and Green.

I was making this card at my friends house today and I needed ribbon, she pulled out a chocolate wrapper that was a ribbon with a bell attached!  I grabbed it up and placed it on the card!  Amazing how things that may end up as rubbish can be reused in craft!
