I've made a stepper card

Hi again back with my Papertake card, 

and i have finally had a go at a stepper card.

I can hear you all saying "aah bless." How long have

these cards been around? and i'm only just

getting round to making one.

Never mind i get there in the end.. LOL.

I must say though i had great fun making it

and will definitely make another.

This week at Papertake the challenge is

Bingo

eyes down and choose a row.

It can be in any direction and there are

Free boxes for you to choose what you want.

We are sponsored this week by the fabulous 
Ribbon Girl

I have gone for the top row

Free (ribbon), Pearls, Blooms.

I have used a SWALK stamp from Crafters Companion,

i have used my new Flexmarkers to colour her in

apart from the hair i used my promarkers.

The papers are from Raspberry road.

Sentiment from Lili of the valley.

I made a ribbon banner out of paper scraps.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts.

Pearls from stash.

 I used silver stickles on banner and

Dried marigold distress ink on image and tag.

I'm also going to enter this into the challenge over at Crafters Companion.

This month the theme is 

Glitter and Glitz

I have used glitter on my banner and pearls. 

Thanks for stopping by today

Take care

First Love

 

Good morning all, hope you are well.

It's Teddy Bo time again and the challenge is still

Love is in the air

There have been some fabulous entries so far

so keep them coming.

It's so exciting at Teddy Bo towers

at the moment due to be released soon

are some fabulous papers and following that

Teddy Bo and Bea are being release in

stamp form woohoo!

Can't wait.

But in the meantime you can get your fix

with the new releases this week at

Teddy Bo and co, and look at the new scratchy 

images they look absolutely fantastic

I have made a card with Bea playing with her cat,

You will have to excuse the photo's though i just 

cant seem to get a good photo.

I have taken another this morning

but it still seems the same.

I have used my pens again because i wanted

to play with my new Flexmarkers i got from C&C

last week.

They are fabulous and in all new colours so

don't clash with the promarkers i've got.

I have used a mixture of pens 

Pro's, Flex and copic markers to colour the

image.

Papers are from Raspberry Road

Apron strings set.

Crochet flower i made and put

a brad in the middle.

Used a bit of cream wool for a ribbon.

Sentiment computer generated.

Thanks for looking

Ribbon Cupcake pin cushion

Hi all hope you are well, i have 
been crocheting again and  i

made another cupcake pin cushion,

this time i have topped it with Cherries and 

curly leaves.

I have added a matching ribbon and

had a go at singeing the ends to make it curl,

but i'm not sure it looks right, but anyway 

i'm going to enter it into the challenge 

over at the Ribbon Girl.

They want you to create a new

project that features ribbon.

My ribbon is from the Ribbon Girl.

Wool and pins from stash.

Thanks for looking 

Take care

Simply Gorgeous!

Good morning all on this another wet day in sunny 

Lancashire.LOL

So lets brighten it with a sneaky peek at

one of the new images out on

the 16th next week over

at  Teddy Bo and Co.

This is Bea and she is 

Simply Gorgeous.

Out came my trusty Polychromos pencils

and i chose my favourite colours.

The paper is from a Forever Friends spring

paper pad.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts.

I have used a spellbinders nestie die for the image,

and Marianne creatables dies for 

the doily and the flourishes.

The sentiment is from Lili of the valley.

Lace and pearls from stash.

I've finished Beth's Teddy and she is

so made up with it, she's calling her

Violet.

 Thanks for stopping by today, hope you all

have a great weekend.

Take care

My first crochet teddy

Hi all well the weather man was right it is 

chucking it down here today.

Yuck!

So it's a day to stay in and craft.

I thought i would share my latest crochet

project with you.

Isn't she cute,

and not as difficult to make as i thought

it would be.

You can guess what happened next as soon as

Beth saw it, so i'm busy making another for her.

She has chosen lilac and white,

i'll put a piccy up when it's finished.

Thanks for looking today

Grow your own

Hi again, guess what the suns shining

hurray i've managed to get some washing done.

The basket was starting to overflow, although

they have forecast really bad weather 

tomorrow for the north west, so i have done two

loads and i'm only half way through the pile.

It's Papertake weekly time again

and this weeks challenge is to 

Grow Your Own

We want to see handmade flowers on your

wonderful creations and this week

we are sponsored by the fabulous 

Whiff of Joy.

I have used a fab Fizzy Moon stamp

that i picked up at the craft shop the other day

and i actually got my copics out to colour.

I love the way it has turned out i coloured it

a bit differently to normal, i dabbed the 

ink on instead of colouring and i 

think my shading looks better doing it this way.

The sentiment came with the stamp set.

Flowers are made using Raspberry road papers and

Paper Artsy grunge type flower and leaf die.

The ribbon is a market find.

 The image is cut with a new die from X cut,

 you even get a magnetic sheet with the set

to store the dies on which is brill.

Oh well my tummy's starting to rumble 

i think it's time for lunch.

Thanks for stopping by

Love is in the air

Good morning all hope you are well,

gosh has it really been a week since i

last put a post up it only feels like a few days.

Anyway it's Teddy Bo time again

and this time our challenge

over at the Teddy Bo Challenge blog is

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Ahhh!

It's also release day at 

Teddy Bo and Co

and there are some more fantastic

images, and it's Summer sale time to.

WooHoo!

More reasons to go and stock up.

I have used one of the new images

for my card.

I have coloured it in with polychromos pencils

and sansodor.

I then cut a heart frame with a Nellie die and cut

the image out using the die as a stencil.

Inked the edge of the image with

warn lipstick distress ink.

The papers are from raspberry road's 

Heartfelt set.

i used matching paper to cut out a doohickey 

doily flower, the leaves are a 

Paper artsy die and the flourishes are a 

Marianne creatables die.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

I have put peel off corners on and 

added silver stickles.

I don't know why but this is one of those cards that

i can't decide if it looks right or not.

Some cards just come together so

easy, but this one i ummd and ahhd at,

things went wrong i was not a happy bunny.

That's probably why.

Beth walked in after i had taken some piccies

of it and said "ooh that's nice" so i gave it to her

there and then.

Oh well that's all for now, i'll be back

later with this weeks

Papertake weekly card.
