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

Dottie's World Sketch Challenge

Karen set the challenge on Dotttie's World last Sunday and is giving away a fabulous prize too.

Here's the sketch she's told us to use:

and here's my take on it:

I used my new ROBO to design the scallops and cut the poppy paper, but had the paper the wrong way up. If you look hard enough you'll see that I've turned and flipped the sketch and elements a bit so that everything fits in.

The image from the Girls About Town Collection, has been coloured with Prismacolours. I got brave and tried them on a card I'm giving away. I need more practice, that's for sure.

Thanks for looking

Take care, love to you all

WOWeee Lou

Hop on over to Dottie's World to see what Lou's latest dowload collection is. It's just simply an amazing work of art. It's totally Back to Front. Go on then, what are you waiting for?

Colour Me Silly

That's the theme for this week's challenge on Dottie's World set by Juliet. Here's my card and don't forget that Dottie, George and their friends are available for download at Charmed.

I've used Elvis George and water-coloured him and his background using my brush markers.

Thanks for looking

Take care

Little Birdie

A little birdie told me there were more downloadable images by Lou and available from Charmed. So I had to go and take a peak and wow, they were amazing. Pop over to Dotties World for a look at more cards and images than I have to offer you here. I have made one card with these images so far and used the pre-coloured image titled 'little birdie'.


I have put a vellum envelope inside so that some money can be added. The tag is there so that the envelope will still have something in it once the money's been spent.

I used Stazon to stamp the image onto the vellum and back of the tag.

These are great to work with. Little Birdie is printed on photo paper and 3D'd onto brown paper. The card is covered with PP from Poundland.

Thanks for looking.

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.

NOT a Card

Lou set the weekly challenge on Dottie's World this week. She said:

"It's my week this week and I fancied a change so here's the challenge;
Make something using a Charmed download but IT CAN'T BE A CARD!"

Ok, thinking cap on. Do I do a LO? No, I fancy doing something else. So, my aim was a one layer exploding box to use as a gift box. I got the layer cut and folded then decided that I didn't want to do that so I cut some more card and made a proper box.

And here it is.

I had a pre-coloured Robin Dottie (available from Charmed) that I'd printed out earlier onto photo paper, so used that. I added green glitter glue to the leaves and diamond Stickles to her tummy. I put red ribbon round the edge and secured it with a red dotty brad. Notches I cut in the side were edged with cinammon Stickles.

I'm aiming to use this (if I make more) as alternative Christmas crackers or I may just use this as a traditional gift box.

Thanks for looking.

A is for Acetate

Dottie's World challenge this week was set by Nicola. She said:

A is for Acetate with a hint of pink!!

It can be a whole acetate card,an aperture of acetate,an embelishment as long as Acetate is there some where & as October is Breast Cancer awareness month I'd like to see some pink!!!

I stamped some acetate and cut the letters and corners, then stuck them on by using my Xyron 150 sticker maker. I added pink ribbon, Imaginisce blooms, brads and ink round the edge and of course a Dottie and George image. I'm turning this into an A4 birthday postcard for someone next year.

Thanks for looking. Love and hugs,

Love Is ............. Dottie and George

Love most certainly is Dottie and George. And that is the theme to this week's challenge on Dottie's Wonderful World set by Juliet. Here's what she said:

"This week, I'd like you to create something on the theme 'Love is......' and I would like to see a message or journalling on the FRONT of your card. As usual, you must include one of the Dottie downloads too and we are all really looking forward to seeing your fabulous creations."

So, heres my creation (images available from Charmed and are from the love and marriage collection):

Front

Inside

Front showing acetate aperture that I've drawn a scallop border around

I've used SafMat for the wording and front image and I've used photo paper for the inside image. The hearts are holagraphic stickers that I've drawn scalloop borders round.

Thanks for looking. Take care, love

Dottie's Been Tagged

Over on Dottie's World last Sunday (24th August), Adele set the Sunday challenge. Although I'm posting very early Sunday morning (3:30amish to be precise), I'm still officially on Saturday as I haven't been to bed yet. So, technically speaking, I'm still in time for this challenge :D LOL

Adele said:

This week I want to see a tag or tags of any shape or size. It could be tag shape toppers, gift tags, tag books....and because hubby and me have just celebrated our wedding anniversary....for an extra Dottie bonus I would love to see some hearts and flowers too!!!

My card is a 25th wedding anniversary acceptance card as I needed to get one to the couple by Wednesday 3rd September! Something else I've left until the last minute! I've used one of the fab pre-coloured images from the love and marriage collection and printed it onto Safmat. For the hearts, I used Papermania paper and the flowers (red and pink) are from Calico Crafts. I cut the card in the shape of a tag and added ribbon to the top of the front. I've also stamped a 'thank you' tag and added narrow ribbon to that too.

Challenge completed and as long as I get it in the post now, I can go to the ball.
