Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge # 7 over at  Jo's Scrap Shack

Our challenge this week is Anything Goes.

I started with a simple stamping of the Gerberas and the sentiment which are deckle cut edged with black ink.  The centre of the flower is clear beads.  The next layer is photo paper that I have coloured using alcohol inks.  This too is deckle cut and inked with black.  My base layer is airbrushed in green and pink with my new toy.  

I found this online for a bargain and figured I could use it to create some backgrounds for my cards.  Worth a try I thought and I was pleasantly surprised and if it didn't work I could tattoo all the kids in my life.  I know my little nephews are going to love it :D 

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

The challenge will be open

Friday July 5th @ 12am USA Central time until

Friday July 12th  @ 6pm USA Central time

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

Our challenge this week is to create a July 4th or Red, White & Blue card, layout or other project.

My patterned paper background is from a Bella! paper stack "Australiana".  The additional swirl is cut from the same paper. 

My image was found on the web at Morning Kids after a search for colouring pages.  I thought that cutie patootie  Betty Boop was perfect.   I printed her twice and coloured her using Copics and I simply paper pieced her to give some dimension.

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

For my card I used a white cardstock base that I edged with my black copic marker mimicking a black mat around my patterend paper.  My patterned paper is from a notepad I purchased years ago at a dollar store. 


 I tore the top piece with the butterfly off on a diagonal and added it over the piece that I had for the base.  

My image is from Whimsy Stamps called "Hang In There".  I coloured my critter using copics and Spectrum Noir markers.  I have to say so far I prefer the way copics blend when compared to the Specrum Noirs.  I cut my image with his feet extending outside the die and the black mat using Nellie Snellden dies "MFD 010"

My sentiment is stamped using Memento - Tuxedo Black ink with an alphabet picked up at a garage sale. The alphabet click together to create each word.

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

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

Our challenge this week is to be inspired by this beautiful photo to create a card, layout or altered project.

The challenge will be open
 Friday June 7th  @ 12am USA Central time until
 Friday June 14th @ 6pm USA Central time

The Top 3 will earn a Funday Friday Top 3 Badge. 

All Top 3 winners will earn an entry into the monthly drawing which will be announced at the end of June.  Pop on over to Jo's Scrap Shack to link your creation via the linky tool. 

Winners will be announced Monday June 17th at Jo's Scrap Shack . 

I'm excited to see what you create with this photo!

My first inspiration came from the geometry of the side table, so I have matted different areas of my card.  My base is white card stock with the first layer of yellow paper. 

The next inspiration comes from the padded room divider.  I embossed some yellow paper using a Fiskars texture plate "Bubbles".  I then rubbed the raised area with Stampin Up Encore gold ink. This piece was then matted with black card. The sentiment stamp comes from Close to My Heart - "For Every Occasion".

I was next inspired by the black and yellow throw pillow.  I  stamped the flowers from Darkroom Door's "Full Bloom Vol 2" onto my piece of yellow scrap.  I then inked the edges and matted it onto black CS.  This was then mounted on foam tape and positioned on the card front.

My simple card is going to be used as a sympathy card for a family friends who lost their sister in a tragic accident recently.

Welcome to my first post as a member of the Design Team for Jo's Scrap Shack 

There are a number of new things happening at Jo's.  One of which is the weekly Funday Friday Challenge.

Our challenge this week is to be inspired by this sketch by our talented DT member Amanda.

The challenge will be open until Friday May 31st.

Our sponsor this week is Mary from Cardz TV.

The random winner will receive 2 stamp sets of their choice and the Top 3 will earn a Funday Friday Top 3 Badge.  

Winners will be announced Monday June 3rd at Jo's Scrap Shack . 

All top 3 winners will earn an entry into the monthly drawing which will be announced at the end of June since we are starting mid month.

So pop on over to Jo's Scrap Shack to link your creation via the linky tool. 

We all cannot wait to see what you all create with this sketch!

This is my card.

I started with a black cardstock base, the black strip along the middle and the four squares.  All were outlined with metallic blue marker.  I then stamped the squares with a variety of stamps by Michael Strong "Cloisonné Leaves", "Cloisonné Flower", "Cloisonné Pot", and "Cloisonné Vase", using Close to My Heart "Colonial White" and positioned them on an angle along the strip with gold gel pen doodles in the spaces on the strip.

I finished off the card with some bling from my stash.

Have a great week

Note: All times are USA- Texas time which you can find on the World clock bottom right

This weeks challenge with Joann @ Jo's Scrap Shack is to use the colours grey blue and to use embossing.  I made a Mothers Day card for my awesome Mum.  I used black cardstock for my base which I folded and embossed using the Honeycomb Textured Impressions embossing folder from Stampin Up.  I then rubbed the raised areas using Colonial White ink from CTMH.

I then embossed a number of blue and grey pattern paper scraps and cut them out to fit inside the hexagons creating the flower pattern.  I then used some grey ribbon to form the stems and leaves and stamped the sentiment and the lips.

The card is very different from my initial vision and I am yet to decide whether I like it or not.  The important thing is Mum loved it and in the end that is all that matters.

Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome to the One Year Blogaversary Blog Hop of Jo's Scrap Shack!!

Come join us as Joann and her friends celebrate the First Birthday of Jo's Scrap Shack.  There are some  great goodies to give away.  Just become a follower on each leg of the blog and leave some love.  Winner will be drawn on Monday 6th May.

You should have arrived here by way of Candice.  If you have lost your way or magically appeared here fear not I have the whole line up of Blogs at the end of this post to enable you to join in and be in the running for prizes.

I can't believe it is a year since a number of Joann's friends encouraged her to do some creating and what a year it has been.

In celebration I created this cute little card

My base is black cardstock with the patterned paper from Crate Paper.  I just love this paper it is my last little scrap left.  My main stamp is a freebie I got a while back included in a magazine.  Isn't he just adorable?

I colored him with Copic Markers Warm Greys W0, W3, & W6 and the surrounding sky with B000.  The grass was a combination of Copic G24 and Spectrum Noir CG2, DG3 & JG6

I cut the image and the purple glitter CS using QuickKutz  Nesting Scallops. The sentiment is a stamp from Close To My Heart "Cherish the Moment" set which I hand cut out along with its glitter CS.

I crossed some ribbon across the PP layer and secured it on the back before attaching the PP to the base.  The sentiment was then attached over the top of the ribbon with one thickness of foam tape.  The image was then attached using two layers of the foam tape.

I then doodled around the edge of the card with a purple Faber-Castell metallic colour marker

Thanks for taking the time to drop by.  Don't forget to leave a comment and become a follower to be in the running for the goodies from Jo.
