Cute as Button Tracy Tricera

 I have quite a collection of dinosaur digis - whatever my grandchildren like I seem to accumulate.  My 4 year old grand-daughter Isla-May is obsessed with dinosaurs and she could tell you straight away the species of any of them.  This one is so cute.  It is, and no I am not like Isla-May, I have to look it up.  It is https://cuteasabuttonstamps.com/products/digital-digi-stamps-big-eyed-digis-img000212-tracy-tricera-by-francesca-lopez, a triceratops dinosaur, Tracy Tricera for short.

Congratulations on your Wedding Day

Here is a wedding card I made using:

Tiddly Inks Wedding Bells

A Perfect Day chipboard - Scrapmatts

The digital stamp was merged onto https://sparklensprinkle.net/products/digital-papers-floral-surprise-digi4006fs and the sentiment Happily Ever After is from We Are 3

The black and white script design paper and white pearlised card base is from my stash, as well as the chipboard heart I coloured with Copics.

Tiddly Inks Little Mermaids

Thank you to Tiddly Inks for supplying the image for #Challenge 224.  The images are from the Little Valentines Mermaids set, but the two merged mermaids are available as a freebie in the shop

while the challenge is on.

I decided to make a planner pocket page with my image.  I made a 6" x 4" card to fit into a Classic Happy Planner Pocket page.  I created an underwater scene and coloured the mermaids with Copics and attached them with foam tape.  I hope you like it and I hope my friend likes it when I finish the pocket page with other inspiration quotes to put in her Classic Happy Planner.

Some Odd Girl - 12 days of Colouring

Well it's Day 8 of the Some Odd Girl 12 Days of Colouring challenge on the Facebook Group and we have all been colouring like mad women possessed.  In fact, between family life and craft life, I have not had enough time to even show you some of my colouring on the blog.

So today I thought I would share Day 8.  I have used Swoon Dakota, coloured with Copics and fussy cut, then placed on a stencilled background with foam dots.  I stamped the sentiment straight onto the stencilled mat.

If you are not a member of the Some Odd Girl Facebook Group, you should check it out.  Some Odd Girl puts on these fun challenges and you don;t even have to complete a project in the one day.  You only have to show a WIP project with progress made each day and then start a new one.

Some Odd Girl is getting together an ATC swap which I am looking forward to as well, haven't done many of them this year and it could be an ongoing thing, with only one ATC required each swap - EASY!

SheepSki Designs Blog Challenge - "Wings" April 2019

This month's SheepSki Blog Challenge theme is "Wings".  When Andrea first put "Griff" into the shop, I thought, no I could never attempt that.  Well, when this theme came along, I thought face your demons Gail, give it a go.

This is the result - a blank masculine card.  I feel this image is best suited for a masculine card and I will be able to use this as a birthday card, an inspiration card or whatever your heart desires.

I hope you enter our challenge this month.

The Etsy shop is full of images which you could use for this theme, and if you feel like a challenge why don't you choose "Griff" this time, like I did.  If not SheepSki has lots of other winged images to choose from.  Don't forget to use this 10% discount when you are over at the shop.

Clean and Simple

AAA Cards CAS Challenge has a Weekend Workout on at the moment and the challenge was to create a card using only a sentiment.

This was the criteria:

Can you create a CAS card using just a sentiment? 

It can be stamped, stencilled, handwritten, computer generated or die cut, but there must be nothing else on your card. Background patterns or papers allowed, but no images. Remember to stay CAS!

Tough - but you can do it!

Add your cards here and show us what you can do.

This is a just for fun event.

I splattered some watered down paint onto the card base with smothering completely.  Happy Birthday is a SU die and I cut it twice, and layered one on top of the other, with the top one slightly to the right, exposing the bottom layer.

I have put my card in AAA Cards CAS Challenge page on Facebook.

Come join this group and also check out their Blog Challenge site.

One thing that brings us all here is the coloring. Whether you like coloring simple images, spend hours adding details and texture or fall somewhere in between, we all like getting our coloring on.

My March SOG project is a CAS card using "Flower".  The card base is embossed, (not by me, by the shop I bought them from) with a Heart punch and the image, coloured with Copics.

Ericraft Stamps - "Party Blower Llama" and "Party Sunglasses Llama"

These are the links in the Etsy EricraftShop for these two great digital stamps.  I have reversed one Party Blower so the blowers are facing out and cool dude Party Sunglasses Llama has wriggled his way into the middle, like a real poser, has to have centre stage lol.  Llamas are in fashion in the craft industry at the moment, but I  do remember my grand-daughter, Verity having a t-shirt on last year that had the saying "No prob llama", so I knew I just had to use it on this card.

SheepSki Designs - March Blog Challenge "Your Favourite Colour/s"

If you are a frequent visitor of my blog, you may have seen me mention my favourite colour before, or even guessed it by the colours I sometimes choose.  It's funny how whenever you don't know what to do with your project, you often gravitate to your favourite colour.

  This month for the Blog Challenge "Your Favourite Colour/s" I have designed a Planner Pocket Pages Divider.   Towards the second half of last year, I started playing around with a planner, thanks to a very good cyber friend of mine.  Well this year, I have progressed a bit more, taking the decorating  a bit more seriously, hence this project.

Front of Pocket Page 

Back of Pocket Page - for the  little pocket showing the bird quote, I have used We are 3 Bird Songs digital paper.

and of course in my Planner

The SheepSki images I have used:

Curvy Katarina

Serenity

Butterfly Curl

Don't forget if you are interested in any of these images or for that matter any of the others on our Etsy shop, you can use this discount to get 10% off your total.

                                                  SKIANDREA10

I also hope you join our March Blog Challenge with the theme being "Your Favourite Colour/s".

I will be entering the following with this project:
