Hi! I had a bit of a crafty day yesterday as my internet is playing up on me again. It's painfully slow and driving me nuts!! 

This week's Just Magnolia & hAnglar stAnglar Challenges want to see funny sentiments on your cards. I had this image coloured up earlier in  the week while practicing the 'no lines/ghost' image technique so I turned it into a card and created a computer genterated sentiment. 

I'm sure you'll agree that most of us can relate to the sentiment on my card, lol.

Challenges - 

Craft Your Passion - Snarky, Sarcastic and Funny Sentiments

Kaboodle Doodles - Ribbons

Make it Monday - always Anything Goes

Stamps & Fun = Creativity -  Fairytale

The Outlawz - Sentiment required - Anything Goes

*****************************

The challenge on Sugar Nellie's Facebook Group this week is BLACK. You can use as much or as little as you want as long as you use some black on your cards. 

I inked up one of the sexy Sassy girls and went straight for black hair, not something I would normally do. The papers are My Mind's Eye Meadow Lark matted with black cardstock and a white border done with Martha Stewarts Doily lace punch.

Sugar Nellie Facebook Challenge & Simply Sassy GDT Call

This is my second post today - if you are looking for the Waltzingmouse post then click HERE. 

For the past number of weeks Sugar Nellie have been running a weekly challenge on Facebook based on a theme/sketch/etc. This week was a photo inspiration of the most delicious kind - a big mouthwatering strawberry cake!! So I took the colours - Green/Red/White but added a touch of yellow to take the Christmas look off the card... and this is what I came up with. 

I used the sketch from the Simply Sassy GDT call. The papers are from the Basic Grey 'Hello Luscious' collection. 

I added loads of flowers and bling and a strawberry charm to tie into the theme. Everything has been stickled with Star Dust, which coincidentally is also the name of the image I used.

Challenges -
Pile it On - Use a Rubber Stamp
Let's Ink It Up -  Stitching.
Paper Sundaes -  Texture

Copic Creations - Favourite paper to use with Copics

By the Cute and Girly - Cute and Girly
My Grafico -  Anything goes

Secret Crafter - Stitching - real or faux

Stamp with Fun - Birthday

Now I have to run off quickly to drop my little man at another party - I swear the kid has a better social life than I do!! 

Back tomorrow with a Whiff of Joy!

Have a great Sunday

Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge & CES Bold and Bright

Good morning and happy Saturday. I have 2 cards to share today, each very different. 

First up is the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challlenge. Another wonderful sketch to follow. I took a few liberties with this one but you can still see the original sketch in my card. 

My papers are Rose Garden, by Papermania and I've inked them with Brushed Cordoroy distress ink. Stamps are from both the Afternooon Tea Sentiments and Vintage Ornaments collections. I've added some white lace and pink distressed seambinding and finished off by stitching all of my papers. 

***************************

Next up is CES Challenges and this week we would like to see BOLD & BRIGHT! So this is about as bold and bright as I get. 

I also followed the sketch on The Sugar Bowl. My Sassy image has been coloured using copic sketch markers. The papers are Magnolia's Fairytale collections and they've been machine stitched. Lace and flowers are from Crafty Emma's Store. Simply Sassy are having a guest DT call at the minute so if you're interested you need to make a card using a Sassy image and your own style of crafting. 

Challenges: 

The Sugar Bowl - Sketch {optional theme of Love}
Simply Create - give your heart away {heart doily}
 Mami Doodles – magic of love
