Fathers Day at Papertake

Hi all hope your well, It's that time of the week.

These weeks do fly by,

It's Papertake time again

This week as it's Father's Day
coming up in the UK
the theme is 

Dads and Lads

So basically male cards.
We are sponsored by WOJ Stamps
They have a fab stamp up for grabs 
as the winner prize.

I've made this one for the kids to give
to their dad,
He loves his VW camper so i had to use one,
this is a stamp from Kabana.
Decided to use the sketch over at Just Magnolia
this week so added Edwin surfer dude.
After, i then realised you also had to use flowers on
your card so could not enter. Bummer!
Anyway
Both are coloured with Polychromos pencils
and sansodor.
The papers and postcard
are from K&co 12 x12 best of paper stack.
Made a sort of tyre print with a Martha Stewart
border punch.
Added stickles on the headlights and indicators.


Thanks for stopping by today
and i hope you pop over to Papertake weekly
and join in the fun

Anniversary Wishes

Hi all hope you are well, I'm still coughing like 

a trooper, just can't seem to shift it.

Anyway, we have just celebrated our 

18th wedding anniversary 

on Sunday, I'll tell you it certainly

doesn't feel like 18 years, more like 10,

where has the time gone and if you find

it please sent it back! Pleeeez.

I mentioned our anniversary to tie in nicely

with my card and this weeks 

Papertake weekly Challenge
 

It's Anything Goes week

sponsored by LOTV

with the option of using an all white

card with the choice of one other colour

excluding hair/skin colours.

Killing two birds with one stone i

made this for my husband.

When i first saw this stamp from LOTV

i wanted to use it for an anniversary card, i thought 

it was perfect, although unfortunately we can't

share a bath, Marks 6 foot 7 and there's just

no room left for me (we have tried). LOL.

Anyway back to the card 

I had just got some digi papers from Raspberry Rd

and this was in the set so that's

were the blue came in.

I used my wonky rectangles from spellbinders

and embossed one using a mica mask.

I have used Polychromos pencils and 

glitter for the bubbles.

Inked with Faded Jeans distress ink.

The sentiment is computer generated.

Ribbon is seam binding from the ribbon girl

Pin from stash.

OOOh posties just posted a packet from 

sirstampalot must be the Tilda's i ordered

so i'm off to play.

Hope you pop over to papertake 

and have a go this week

TeddyTastic

Hi all sorry I've not been about but this cold 

has really been a bad one, I'm starting to feel better,

today i managed to go for a walk along the beach

with my daughter and her friend.

Here is my card for the
Teddy Bo Challenge

The challenge this fortnight is to make

a shaped card.

No squares or rectangles.

 

I have made a diamond shape springy card,

these were popular a few years ago.

I have only made a couple of these before,

they take some making.


 

It all started when i couldn't decide which 

Teddy Bo image to use, so i thought I'd use a few.

This was the only shape i could think of that
would take a few images, which turned into 5.

I have used my Polychromos pencils on 

Bristol Board and blended with sansodor.

The papers are from Raspberry Road, i have 

cut the flowers off the papers and made them

into photo corners.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid and the 

ribbon i pick up from Wigan Market.

I have used Nestie circle dies and 

Marianne creatables swirls.

Thanks for stopping by today

Teddy Bea meets Sugar Nellie

Hi all hope you are well, I've woken up this morn

full of a cold and a sore throat, Blurr.

I was ok last night, my throat felt a bit dry but i

felt fine, i can't believe how quick it hit.

I don't know about you but i always seem to

get something yucky when the kids are on

school hols, i suppose that's better,i don't have 

to drag myself out of bed to early.

Got Two cards for you today so bear with me.

Ha Ha I've just realised Bear with me! (Teddy Bea)

The first is for Papertake Weekly

sponsored this week by 

Simon says stamp

This week there is a sketch to follow from

the fabulous Dawny

 

I've rotated it 90 degrees it seem to fit better.

I've used another Teddy Bo image coloured

with Polychromos pencils.

I have used some free papers i got with issue 84

of Simply cards and papercraft mag.

They are called Picnic in the park from Serif.

I only buy the mags when they have a good free gift.

The sentiment is a woodware stamp on a 

Nellie die. The image is on one of the new

wonky rectangle nestie's.
Flower is made with a Marianne creatables die.

I have used Antique linen distress ink on the edges.

The leaves are cut with my slice machine.

My second card is for two challenges

Basic Grey - Shabby Chic

The Sugar Bowl - Sketch

I've had a root through my sugar nellie stamps 

again and settled on this cutie from Elisabeth Bell.

I also dug out these Basic Grey Too Scoops papers

that i have had in my stroking pile, i'm

determined to use them all up.

I love the ice cream colours of these papers.

I have used Promarkers to colour her in.

Tulip yellow, Buttercup, primrose,

Pastel green, soft green, apple,

pale pink, cocktail pink,

blush, ivory, sun kissed pink and

caramel.

The Shabby chic flower is made with a

Marianne creatables flower die,

i have sanded it to give it a distressed look.

The swirls are also Marianne creatables.

I have used a Martha Stewart corner punch

to make photo corners for my image to sit in.

The sentiment is computer generated.

Ribbon is seam binding from the ribbon girl.

Phew are you still with me, good cause

that's all folks.

You can go and have a brew now,

i am my throats starting to hurt again

the para's must be wearing off.

Ebay they are First edition papers from the new

Summer Breeze pad, they are a lovely mix of

close ish without disturbing them.

The others were in the tree as well but they were 

well hidden this one sat in a little opening, 

having a snooze. bless.

Tatty Teddy and Tits

Hi all, hope you are well the suns out here today

hurray not see it for a while, it's still windy though

can't have it all lol.

Kids break up for their half term today, it only seems like they have been back at school for five minutes since the last hols, not complaining though 

i don't need to get up so early.

My card today is made for a few challenges

Bearly Mine - Die cuts and Lace

Addicted to stamps - Pink and Brown

Bunny Zoe's - Lace

Crafts and Me - Gems and pearls

The papers are from the fabulous

summer lace range at Bearly mine.

I have used another of those fabby Tatty Teddy

stamps from do crafts, stamped in rich cocoa ink

and coloured with polychromos pencils.

I have stamped the edge with the

feather stamp form clarity, in Vintage photo

distress ink.

The sentiment is from LOTV also stamped in Vintage photo.

The lace i bought a few years ago from John Lewis

it's been in my cupboard never been used, stroked a 

few times, then put back away.

Anyway i have decided to start using everything,

my pile of stroking stash is getting bigger and basically

i need the space, there's always more to buy.

Pearls and gems from stash.

Oval nestability, tag Go create.

I don't know if you remember that i

mentioned that there were some Blue Tits 

showing a bit of interest in my bird box, well

the did nest and on Wednesday they fledged.

I've been trying to take a picture which is 

pretty hard as they stay well hidden but i saw 

one in the apple tree this morn, so with my long lens 

i managed to get a shot

 It's a bit blurry i had to take the picture from

inside the conservatory so i had window glare, then 

it was sat in the middle of the tree so struggled 

to get a good focus, but anyway this is the best piccy. 

This is mum or dad (can't tell the difference), grabbing

food off the feeder to feed it.

I didn't see them leave the nest i think i happened upon 

them just after they left, they were sat in the Elderflower tree next to the nest, tweeting away Feed me Feed me.


Hope you enjoyed that

Take it easy

Hi all hope you are well, my card today is 
i know, i know yet another Teddy Bo image,

i just seem to be addicted to these at the moment,
can't stop colouring them in.

I have just ordered some more this morning as well,

so there is no hope for me. lol. 

I will force myself to colour something else soon,

i promise.

I have made this card for the Teddy Bo challenge

they want to see Teddy Bo images only.

I had planned to use this image to make a

fathers day card so what better excuse to

get on and make it

I do seem to struggle a bit when it comes to

making male cards, what embellies do you put on?

can't really put girly flowers on.

I found this button stamp in my stash but it still needed

something else.

I made paper flowers with the new marianne creatables 

die, i used matching paper so they look more masculine,

(if there's such a thing as masculine flowers).

I coloured the image with Polychromos pencils and

the papers are from papermania i think,

i have had them a while.

Right I'm off to my inbox to get the new images
