I am one of 10 runners up with My Tatty Teddy card


Docrafts have been running a national Me to you - Tatty Teddy Competition where you had to use at least 2 Me to you Elements, the prize being £150 worth of crafting goodies for the winner and 10 runners up win Me to you Craft Cds and Boofle Craft Cds.

I had a phone call the other day from Docrafts advising me I have been chosen as one of the 10 runners up, OMG I'm amazed, I couldn't believe it as they had so many entries but I have just received my prize of a Me to you craft CD and Boofle craft CD.   I only entered to see if I had a chance to winning and having my card published in the Creativity magazine in July as I have already got both of them in my collection, So if anyone is interested in buying either disc set from me please contact me,  they are both in sealed packaging,  I could then buy some other lovely crafting goodies with the money instead.

I am not sure if the runners up cards will be published in the magazine or just the winners one but I shall keep an eye out at the end of June for it and see but I have added the photos to my blog incase anyone wanted to see my entry.

My DT card for challenge 115 - Red White and Blue over at OSAAT

 
Here is my DT card for our Red, white and blue challenge over at One Stitch at a time.

I made the scalloped circle card using my new Go Kreate XXL dies, mat and layered some blue spotty paper from Making Cards Magazine onto it and then created a step on the right hand side.

The image is called Fun in the Jungle by Lil Diva and is available HERE.  I have coloured with the following Copic pens C1, C3, E40, E42, E55 and E57 and have added some faux stitching around the image using the fine end of a Marvey Le Plume pen (No 17 Steel Blue). I cut some red spotty paper (also from Making Cards Magazine) using my Scalloped circle nestie and stuck the image onto the scalloped circle.

I cut a deckled tag using my Whale of a punch and matted onto some red card, punched a hole through both layers so I could feed some ribbon through and then attached to the step part of card using 3d foam pads.

We are sponsored this week by Joanna Sheen with a £10 Voucher for the prize

Kieran's Birthday Card

inside 
 

This is the easel card I made for my Son Kieran who's birthday was on 7th May but I've only just got round to posting it.

The lovely little rabbit is called Warren,  he is available as a set of circle diecuts from Craftwork Cards where I also got the Card Candi from that I have used.

I have used my Cuttlebug Olivia alphabet to cut the letters to spell Kieran, Spellbinders dies for the message panel and a Martha Stewart punch for the stopper.  The paper is from an A5  paper pad by Docrafts called Penelope and Percy.

I have added little silver peel offs in each scallop on the circle around the image.

Get well soon! Anything goes at Pennys Challenge


Wow where has the last fortnight gone, how fast time goes!

This is my DT card for our challenge over at Pennys this fortnight. I just loved this adorable image!

Its a nice easy challenge this fortnight as anything goes and we have 3 sponsors too,  so come over and join in HERE.

Our sponsors for this fortnight are

   
and 


I made the card base using a large Go Kreate Scalloped circle die, added some black gingham paper cut using a Go Kreate plain circle die and then cut and scored to create a side step card.

The adorable image is called BooBoo Bee by Stitchy Bear Stamps, one of our sponsors, which has been coloured with the following Copic Pens C00, E42, Y13 and 100.

I mat and layered the image onto a black lacey circle Marianne Creatables diecut and added some Prima flowers using Card Candi in the centres. I am not sure why the flowers look a bit lime greenish but they are definitely yellow. I have also used Marianne Creatables flourish dies for the flourishes.

I used a lovely free circle sentiment digi stamp by the wonderful Annette and cut using spellbinders circle and scalloped circles dies. I have also added some irridescent glitter to his wings.
