Crafting When We Can Challenges 65 - Hearts and Flowers

Over at CWWCC the we have the delightful ArtbyMiran as our Sponsor

Art by Miran

We were kindly given a choice of image and I chose Princess Color Page.  I really enjoyed working with this image, it gave me chance to practice hair colouring.  I used my Spectum Noir pens and a DCWV paper pad for the heart backing paper.  Gold card was used to compliment her hair and provide the hearts.  I didn't have the right colour card to use as a border so I coloured some white card with the same colour pen I used to highlight the details at the bottom of the dress.  A Martha Steward punch was used for the border edge.

Hop over to the Challenge and leave us your Hearts and Flowers creations.

Crafting When We Can Challeges #21 - Summer Fun

This Challenge the theme is Summer Fun so we want to see someone or something having fun in the sun.

We were given an image from our generous Sponsors

MilkCoffee

The Winner will receive 3 images of their choice

and our 2nd Sponsor is

Crafty Ribbons

The Winner will receive a ribbon bag.

I chose to make a scrapbook page using 2 photos of my daughter.  I really like these pictures and enjoyed making this page.  The only problem was when I looked through my scrapbook I found I had already made a page using the exact same photos.

The blue base is a bazzill basic bought from Craft Den.  The flowery paper is from a K & Co 300 paper pack bought from a show last year with an edge cut using a MS punch around the page set.  I cut the last edge at an angle and the pattern didn't quite match but still hey hoo I've more things to worry about at the moment and it doesn't effect the lovely memory these pictures bring back to mind.  The flowers were cut out of the blue bazzil and some scraps with a Woodware punch I then coloured the scrap with a green Copic.  The gems were from Poundland and really lift the look of the flowers.  My beautiful flower girl is from MilkCoffee and she is called Lisbeth loves Sunflower.  I printed her out in 2 different sizes and coloured her with Promarkers and Copics, I coloured her Sunflower blue to match my photos.  I have left a space for my journalling when I get around to it but put a digital label on the photo so I can remember when it was.

If you've got a creation that follows the theme then hop over to the Challenge and leave it with the blue froggy, if you've followed the rules you'll be in with a chance of winning the great prizes on offer.

Crafting When We Can Challenge #14 ~ One for the Boys

Once again we had a superb turnout for the challenge and once again the work was awesome, we have very talented entrants. 

For Challenge 14 our sponsor is the wonderful

Some Odd Girl

  

I don't know what the prize is but I'm sure it will be awesome.

The card I have made is using an old Some Odd Girl image of hang 10 Cody, this image doesn't seem to be in the shop but there are loads of other fab images to choose from.

I made my card using Papermania 12 x 12 coloured card, cut in half to make a 6 x 6 base, the DPs are from DCWV Stack 6.  I coloured my image with Copics and Promarkers and highlighted the waves with a white inkssential pen and die cut with a Spellbinder label. I've shaded with DI and made the faux buttons with a round punch and the swirly border is a MS punch.  The faux stitching was made with a black fine liner pen.

Our sponsor for challenge #8 is

Kenny K Downloads

Once again our sponsor allowed us to choose our own image and I chose EVA PEARL.  I thought she looked really good and I think I will get lots of use out of her.  I coloured here using Copics and Promarkers, popped her up on gold mirri card and punched the edges with a MS corner punch.  The background paper is from Free Paper Pad Challenges.  I made the sentiment myself using a new piece of equipment called Hot Foil Gun, it heats up and you can use it to write on things using different coloured foil.  It was my first time but I think it looks good and with practice I hope it will look really goo.  I also decided to make a bottle wrap to go around a bottle of wine to give to a Friend.

excuse the colours the printer ran out of ink and I didn't have time to do it again.

Now all you have to do is hop over to the Challenge and enter you project.  We accept any work as long as you follow the rules.

Here is my card (sorry it's a bit grotty but the light isn't very good).

I have used the cute image of Gillian, singing her heart out, which was provided by Roberta at Prairie Fairy.  Hop over and check out the other images there are plenty to suit every taste.

I have coloured her with purple and green Promarkers and used papers printed from a CC Cute Companions CD backed with silver mirror card.  The snowflakes were punched with my Martha Stewart punch and little green gems placed in the middle (you will have to use your imagination for this but it looks better in real life). The snow is Star Dust Stickles.

**Edited to add Just Inspirational Challenge #9) - A very, very, very quick post for the Delicious Doodles Competition

Teri at Delicious Doodles has decided to have a DT CALL and a competition to celebrate her 1 yr anniversary.  I am not applying for the DT but I would like to enter the competition.  Here is my card.  The sketch is from Just Inspirational Challenge #9.

I have used one of Teri's fantastic doodles and scraps from Creative Cottage, K & Co and my stash.  The snowflakes are from my MS corner punch and have stickles in then middle.  I coloured the white spot in the blue paper read to match the present on top.

Got to go and link now as I only have a about half hour before the competition closes.

Will let you know how I got on camping when I recover.
