Make It Holey

Juliet's turn to do the challenge this week on Dottie's World and she's asked us to 'Make It Holey'. Here's what she says:

"I would like to see a hole or holes on your project this week - it could be an aperture card, cheeseholing or any other type of hole you can think of. And just to make it a little more interesting, add a touch of distressing too! Remember to include one of the Charmed downloads"

I've used a pre-coloured George image from the Rock and Roll collection for my card. I bought a sheet of card today that's covered with holes, so used a piece of that for half of my card. The other half is covered in distressed brown dotty PP. Sentiment is a magazine freebie from ages ago.

Thanks for looking

Take care, love and hugs

All Things Bright And Beautiful

Juliet set the challenge at Dottie's World today and challenged us to make a project using 'bright and beautiful' colours along with at least one of Lou's downloads.

I've used the pre-coloured Rocker-Gothic Dottie from the Rock & Roll collection to make this card which looks much brighter IRL.

Thanks for looking

Take care, love and hugs

B & W and One Colour Challenge

I've been busy today and have completed some internet challenges.

Over on Dottie's World, Adele set the Sunday challenge this week. Everyone who enters gets a fabulous fairy Dottie.

Adele says:

Right, I will tell you about this week's challenge which is;

Black, white and a splash of .........COLOUR!!!

I want your creations this week to include one or more of the Charmed Download images and to be only 3 main colours. Black, white and one colour of your choice. You can use as many tones of grey and of your chosen colour and you can obviously use a skintone and haircolour ( I am feeling generous! LOL )but that's it.

Here's my card


I watercoloured George (from the Rock & Roll collection available at Charmed) and the background using my brush markers. He's mounted onto black textured, sandy spotted and white photo paper. I covered the base card in the sandy spotted paper and added a piece of black spotty ribbon. I used foam pads to give the image some dimension.

Thanks for looking.

Love and hugs

And Also ............

Nicola set the Sunday challenge on Dottie's Wonderful World. She said:

AND ALSO......I would like you to make a card or something,which of course is using a download/s from Charmed Cards AND ALSO.....something which can be removed from it,such as a tag,bookmark,notelets

~~~~~~~~~~~

Lizzie set the latest challenge on 3C's and we had to make a card, LO and ATC using a sketch and added extra(s) of her choosing. For the card we had to add glitter and embossing.

I chose to combine these challenges and here's my take on them:

Dottie's World ~ The tag goes behind the image on the card and is a bookmark.

Lizzie's ~ hand-embossed notes in 2 corners and flowers in the other 2.


Thanks for looking. I will be back with more soon I'm sure. I really need to set aside some time for blogging.

Scrapped and Carded

I've actually managed to find my craft table and have a LO and card to show you.

UKS Challenge last week was:

Use something American: 5 points
Stars or stripes: 5 points

Use glitter: 5 points

Use quotation marks: 5 points
Use the sketch: 10 points

Here's my take on the challenge:

My Dad was a huge Elvis fan and hated impersonators. He'd always say something like "nobody does it ike Elvis does it".

So, for the points:

American ~ Elvis, what more do you need? LOL
Stars and stripes both used
Stickles Glitter on Elvis' buttons
Quotation Marks on the phrase
Sketch used as it is for a change and not turned round and flipped over

Pleased to claim full marks for my team The Ruby Snippers

Base card is Bazzill and the patterned and green card is Three Bugs in a Rug ~ Seeing Stars from Charmed. The Elvis picture is a bonus coloured image from the downloadable Rock & Roll Dottie and George collection by the talented Lou and also available from Charmed.

For my card, I have had most of it made for a little while, I just needed to add the image as the first attempt went wrong. My cousin's DH turned 60, so I made this for him using the bonus coloured image from the downloadable Rock & Roll Dottie and George collection by Lou and once again available from Charmed.
