Sushi Dolls Design Team Call

Hi All

Todays card is for Sushi Doll Design Team Call

The image I used is call Slurp Slurp.  



I coloured the image in with promarkers, gone round it with salty ocean distress ink and
matted it onto some green card some my stash.  The background paper is some
DCVW summer collections and believe it or not I have this for long long
time and I have brought it out once or twice and put in back in again not bearing to
cut it.  The stickers were from the same range which I bought from one of the shopping
channels.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and remember to look in on
Sushi's Blog and have a look around.

Brown Sugar Challenge #47

Good morning everyone.

This last fortnight has been a little hectic, my daughter Katie has been in France for a week , my computer decided it had enough of this world and died, going to medical appointments and finally hunting my son and hubby of to Scotland for a couple of days.  So forgive me for my blog entry being a little late.


We have a new challenge over at the Brown Sugar Challenge Blog 
and the theme for this week is

Summer


and instead of doing a card this week I decided to do a layout of my son ready to go for a swim.  He was about four and a half here who is now turning seventeen.




I used a piece of blue 12 x 12 card stock and sponged some green, white, red and yellow paint on top.  The image from our sponsors today was coloured in with promarkers.


Our challenge has been sponsored by

I coloured the image with my promarkers and then cut the image out again in acetate and put it over the image and threaded a piece of ribbon through it and tied it in a bow.  I used hot pink, lime green and turquoise blue (these are my daughters favourite colours) and sew them with white thread on my sewing machine and attached a little piece of lace to the bottom.  I glued a little scissor charm on the corner, and placed faux silver brads in each corner.

Brown Sugar Challenge #43

It's Friday again and it time for a new challenge from Brown Sugar Challenge Blog.

With my coursework finished now I have actually made this card with no deadline pressures and it felt good. I have to confess and say that I have enrolled in another course starting in September so I will enjoy the freedom for a few months.

The challenge today is

Father's Day

Here is my card


The size of this card is 5" x 5" and the base colour is black.  I used a cuttlebug embossing
folder on red co-ordinations card stock and sanded it back.  My image (28301 - river walk) is from
Eurekas Digi Stamps and is coloured in with promarkers.  I made the black frame
 with black utee using one of Martha Stewart moulds.  I have to thank Hels Sheridan
for my melt pot to resurface from the back of the cupboard. 

Our Sponsors this week is

Brown Sugar #37 Challenge


Hi Everyone

Its been a little hectic for me this fortnight with workmen in the house, kids off and trying to get caught up on coursework I didn't get much time to craft.

Now Easter is over and kids are back to school even my big kid is back to work, so hopefully back to normality or as near as where my household is concerned.  Now down to what playing I was able to get done.

I have two cards for my challenges this week for Brown Sugar Challenges

1st Card

#37 Easel Box Card



This is a little bit  more than just a card, it can be used to put a wee prezzie in as well.  I have made an easel card and attached it onto a little handmade drawer box.

The size of the drawer box is about 6" square
and the card is about 5 3/4" square.




I have used a digital image - Scene It - Easter

 from our sponsor



I have used papers from
Papermania Colossal Paper Pack - Easter Themes which has been 
in my stash for a little while.  Diecuts using spellbinders
and a piece of hessian ribbon, a little crotchet flower and centre both handmade by myself.
Lastly a few blingy gems.

You could use this afterwards to store jewellery, bling or just set it on your craft desk for storage.

Thank you for dropping by and be sure to stop and check out 
and see the cards from the rest of the design team.
