Simon Says - Anything Goes

Over at Simon Says they're celebrating their 2nd anniversary. I thought I would join in with their Anything Goes challenge as well as their blog hop :)


So here is my 'anything goes project' I really enjoyed creating this cutie, I used one of my own DigiSparkle digistamps Sit on it (remember this is your last chance to grab a bargain as we are closing soon)


I paper pieced the sofa, used nesites to create the circle and scallops and the polka dot border is a glittery sticker and the 'relax' sentiment is a rub on (doodlebug I think!) and I rounded the corners with my chomper.

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge

The sketch for this challenge is pretty cool (well they all are - I love the way Waltzingmouse sketches always allow for the CAS style)  It was a nice change to get my embossing folders out. I don't do it as often as I should.


I think you can probably guess the details of this one! Copics (what a suprise!) Waltzingmouse Half Pint Heroes, nesties, pink grosgrain ribbon and I stamped a sentiment from the Half pint heroes set and then used a cuttlebug embossing folder, oha nd it's all on a kraft background :)

Crafty Sentiments - Easter

Crafty Sentiments Challenge this week is to use EASTER as your inspiration.  I used one of the new Charles Bear images from Crafty Sentiments, this on is called Egg Anyone?  And I think I ought to add Yes Please!!!!! Got to love chocolate! Don't forget to check out the rest of Suzette's cute new images, there are quite a few of Charles Bear and some gorgeous new Manga images. Check these beauties out;

 

Anyway, for this week's card I added a computer generated sentiment before I printed him off (this is fast becoming my fav way of adding sentiments to my cards) and then I did some basic layering, Simple but I like it!

Please don't forget to check out my team mates cool creations here.

A case and some punches

This card is a CASE of this gorgeous card by the amazing Amy R, isn't it gorgeous? Well I thought I would do a CAS version of it. 
I have been dying to use one of the Crafty Sentiments Amy stamps - this Amy Just Relaxing is one of my favourites but I just hadn't got how best to display her, but I really like this layout :) I think the only thing I would really change is I think I would do her hair a slightly different colour, I'm trialling new copic hair colours at the moment - I guess I need to do some more practising! Oh and I've decided I need to buy a grass punch (cutting this grass by hand took ages!)


I used my new nesties to create the background (I layered the grass and 'sky' paper before die cutting) and I used the Happy Birthday stamp from the Crafty Sentiments Patches and Stitch stamp set. I coloured Amy with my copics and the polka dots on her top are done with my new Spica pink pen. I added my copic coloured butterflies (so they colour matched) and rounded the corners with my corner chomper.

I would like to enter this  card for these challenges:

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge

This week's sketch from Waltzingmouse is a brill one, it's so CAS.  Seeing as I only have one set of Waltzingmouse stamps (at the moment!) I used the Half Pint Heroes car to create this one. 


Quite simple this one, I stamped the car and then curved the stamps on the block to create the curved sentiment.  I coloured with copics and added some stars using a punch and my nesties (and I coloured these with my copics too!) I also used my corner chomper to create the curved opposite corners.

Animals

Over at Little Claire's Designs the theme is Animals -  the minute I saw the theme I knew which card I wanted to show you.  This is one I created for my Mum (I created 30 cards in a box all labelled with their recipient and in birthday date order!) I created this with one of my more recent purchases - Changito the monkey, wanted him for ages!

I also want to enter this for the Sweet Stampin challenge - Chocolate

Flora & Chocs

Hi all, this is a little thank you I made for my friend as she kindly asked us round for dinner this week.  It was really good of her as my hubby was away so it was great to have a distraction and have some adult company not to mention the occupied children!  Anyway I used one of the new Crafty Sentiments manga design images, this is Flora, isn't she cute? Coloured with copics and cut out using nesties.


I really enjoy colouring with my copics (as regular readers may have noticed!) and have just blown a load more cash buying some so hopefully the'll arrive on my doormat today (but probably Monday knowing my luck!)  I really enjoy being challenged with my copics and so follow a couple of challenges to help me with this.  Copic creations' challenge this week is asking all about the paper we use.  I use a pack of presentation card from Tesco, it's certainly not perfect but it's the best I've found so far in the uk (without spending a fortune that is!)
