Karleigh Sue Designs

Prize - choice of

1. choose any 2 digi's (value $5)

2. choose current color club (value $10)

Theme: Happy Birthday

To start with I created a frame of cupcakes to go around my image using the SVG function in CraftArtist and the Scan'n'Cut to cut the file. I then added an offset to mat the cupcakes using Create and Craft glitter card. The background papers are from a CWVC paper pad. The image and cupcakes were coloured using Spectrum noir pens. The image is It's my birthday. The sentiment is one from the scan'n'cut on board library.

Hop over to CWWCC and show us your 'Happy Birthday' projects.  It can be any form of project and as long as you follow the rules you will be in with a chance of winning the prize.

Challenge 86 - sketch by Ang

This week over at Crafting When We Can Challenges we have a new sponsor it is the wonderful

Aurora Wings

We were given a choice of images to use and I had Wedding Couple.  As we had a sketch to follow I used my image as the main focus and the sketch as my backgound.  I used Create and Craft glitter card that a friend gave me years ago for the background and Spectrum Noir pens to colour my image.  The yellow paper is nearer to the colour of the veil than it shows in the picture.  I have cut a bow from the paper and used a sentiment from Craftwork Cardz which I coloured the same colour as the dress.

I hope you have got some inspiration from my project.  In the spaces at the side I will put the peoples names.  When I find someone who is getting married.

Hop over to CWWCC and leave us your project based on Ang's fab sketch.

Crafting When We Can Challenges #3 - Bingo Card

It's challenge #3 over at Crafting When We Can Challenges and I hope you will be able to join us.  The theme for challenge 3 is a Bingo Card.  The idea behind the bingo card if you don't know is you chose 3 items off the card in a line (horizontal, vertical or diagonal).

Our sponsors

 Sew Many Cards

This week our sponsor kindly let us choose an image from their store and I chose Halen in Wreath.  I was going to make him into a wreath to hang on the door/wall but as other members of the DT chose the same line I decided to make a card instead using the vertical centre line 'Happy' sentiment, distressing & pearls.

The plain green and red paper is from my stash I don't know the manufacturer but I got it from a local craft shop (who also does online sales) Craftden Studios, the patterned paper is from K&Co. the sentiment is from Craftworks and I used Copics and Promarkers to colour the cute image.  I used my Craft Robo to cut out the poinsettia in the corner and put yellow pearls (which came in the drawers of a white spinney pen holder from Create and Craft).  I popped up the wreath with pads and layered up Halen and the bow then stuck the sentiment as if Halen is holding it.  

I am really enjoying making cards again, being on the DT has really brought back my enjoyment in crafting.  

Today me and my OH should be sorting out some more stuff from the bedroom so I can put my new desk up and hopefully move some of my craft stuff up there.  My Craft Robo and Big Shot are already there and now I don't have to keep stretching up to get them hopefully they will be used alot more.  NO not HOPEFULLY, they will DEFINITELY be used more. 

Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend, it's been one of my best for a long time.
