Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #192 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme is "Always Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsor this week is KennyK Digital Stamps  with a 3 pack of digis going to a single winner.

I have used their fabulous digital image "Cat".

I decided with birthdays coming up for my two little nieces I would make them a bookmark each.  I copied the image onto my background patterned paper with a little quote about reading.  I then copied the image onto my six pieces of patterned paper which I then cut out and paper pieced onto my background paper.  I then coloured the tag on the collar with a gold glitter marker.

Hint: I have a scrap piece of paper that I print the image on.  I then adhere with double sided tape each piece of patterned paper where I need it to print.  This saves using up too much paper for the smaller pieces.

Welcome to Jo's Scrap Shack's 5th blogaversary birthday celebration hop day 2!

In honor of celebrating 5 wonderful years, Jo has an amazing two day blog hop lined up with 18 talented designers, several sponsors,  some of which; are among the top companies in the industry and lots of blog candy! So share this news with your crafty friends, grab your favorite beverage and hop along with us!

To start at the beginning of the hop, go visit Jo's Scrap Shack

You should have arrived here from Sherrie

I made a birthday card using a digital image from A Day for Daisies called "Butterfly Girl".  It is very apt since this blog has given me wings.  My blog was started in 2012 also after encouragement from Jo so we could share our creations and inspire one another which I am sure it has.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jo and your little Scrap Shack!!!!

My background is watercolored using Kuretake Gansai Tambi Water Colours.  My image was coloured using Copic Markers. This was then cut out and pasted onto a yellow mat and then onto a teal mat cut out using my Scan N Cut.  My sentiment was from my stash. I coloured it in sections to echo the watercoloring.

My nieces also got into the joy of creating with a little bit of help from Aunty Kellie and Nan.

Next Stop on the hop - Janis

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #184 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme is " Always Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsor this week is Little Blue Button Stamps   4 digis to a single winner

I have used their fabulous digital image "Flower Lips".

Once I got started with this great image I couldn't stop.  I found some great quotes in my stash from years ago - Colorbok Vellum Quotes - Nature.

I watercolored my first two images using Gelatos.  I rubbed them onto my non stick craft sheet and added water.  For the pattern on the clothing I sprinkled on some Brushos onto the wet image.

The back of the vellum quotes were laid over the left over wet Gelatos then lifted to allow drips etc

The last image was watercolored using Brushos

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

I'm excited to see what you create!

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #170 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

I'm excited to welcome you to a new year of challenges.
Our theme this year is "Always Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsors this week are

Bugaboo - 4 digital stamps to a single winner
Little Blue Button Stamps 4 digis to a single winner

- I have used the fabulous digital image "Nurse Margaret- Hurt A Little" from Bugaboo.

I decided my art journal was feeling a little unloved. So I used a number of acrylic paints applying them with my fingers.  I then went back with my stencils.

I started out colouring the image with acrylics but it wasn't behaving how I wanted so I converted to some simple kids crayons. The sentiment comes with the digi image.

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

I'm excited to see what you create!

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge # over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsor this week is 

Little Blue Button Stamps 4 digis to a single winner

Sami's Stamps- $12 gift voucher to store

I have used the LBBS fabulous design "Halloween" – printable art tiles and bottle caps designs.

I have used a number on a scrapbook layout.

I worked with a base of black cardstock to which I stamped and embossed a crackled background.  I chose a piece of patterned paper that I ripped diagonally down the page and placed half on each side.  The photos were taken with a special roll of film that printed all the titles on top.  Some I cut off but used these in other areas.  I had the witch, moon and spider web die cuts from years ago so along with the LBBS printable the whole layout came together .  I journaled some thoughts and used a stencil for my title and stickers for the date.

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

I'm excited to see what you create!

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #155 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is " 321 - 3 Colors, 2 Embellishments, 1 Technique" 

Our Sponsors this week are 

Little Blue Button Stamps - 4 digis to a single winner
Bugaboo - 7 digital stamps. 

I have used the Bugaboo fabulous digital image "BUGBUGABOOCAT".

My image has been coloured with copic and finecolour markers and cut using my Scan N Cut machine.  I then used it on a scrapbook layout to prove to Jo that I do still occasionally scrap :D

My layout is of my baby Electra who was given to me in May for my 50th. Look forward to a few more layouts as I have some cute photos of her and her sister Khaleesi who my sister owns.  

The whole papers etc came in a kit from a friend Carol who used to run classes and the such when I lived in the USA.  I am sure she will laugh that I have finished this layout some 10 years later LOL

So the challenge was for 321 - 

3 Colors - Brown Blue and Green

2 Embellishments - Ribbons and flowers

1 Technique - Punching and Die cutting

For a closer look just click on the photo

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #149 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Anything Goes " 

Our Sponsors this week are 

Di's Digi Stamps  who give $12 voucher to shop 

Little Blue Button Stamps who give 4 digis to a single winner

I have used the LBBS fabulous digital image "You Got a Present".  

I have created my card so it can be used as either a birthday or Christmas card.  My image has been coloured with Copic and Finecolour markers and cut out using my Scan N Cut machine.

Green card was then cut to cover my card base and for my image to mount onto.  The pink/silver layer was a new experiment for me.  

I had been shown a foiling technique using Jac paper- a double sided adhesive sheet.  Having no Jac paper on hand I decided to experiment putting a piece of cardstock through my xyron machine.  Once the adhesive was applied and before removing the backing sheets I embossed the cardstock using my cuttlebug and an embossing folder.  Then removing the backing sheet to expose the adhesive I lay across a sheet of silver craft foil and rubbed with my hands.  The foil adhered to the embossed areas.  I then sprinkled pink glitter onto the areas that were not embossed to cover over the remaining adhesive.  

The photo doesn't do justice to how pretty it looks.  There are a few little spots where the adhesive has lifted.  I'm not sure if this is because the xyron hasn't been used in a while or that the adhesive is not suited to this technique.  I will be trying the foiling again for another project in the future.

Once all the layers were combined I finished my project off with liquid pearls.

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

I'm excited to see what you create!

Welcome to Jo's Scrap Shack's
4th Birthday Blog Hop Day 2

The theme of the Blog Hop is Anything But A Card.  
I have designed a Kaisercraft wooden word "CREATE" for my studio.

I started out with the beautiful papers from Amy Tangerine's 6x6" "Finders Keepers" Paper pad.

I chose a different paper for each letter.
I traced each letter and cut them out slightly smaller.

After glueing each letter on I edged the whole word with black marker to make it stand out a little more.

I added some flowers and foliage to the Letter C.  Aren't these so pretty?  They make me smile

Here is the finished project in my studio.  I love how it looks
