Autumn

…… Update on my journey … hopefully I am on the train, going through Wales, making my way to the boat which will sail me across those choppy Irish waters.

Onto the challenge for Digi Doodle Shop which is Autumn this week – and another re-vamped card, used this super cute image Baby Giraffe, put a scarf on him because of all those Autumn winds lol and had a play with my new Tim Holtz die … mmmmm scrummy.

Giraffe

Should be home by 8:00 tonight … can’t wait to see Andrew and of course little Penny Black.

Little Miss Muffet Challenges & Releases

Short and sweet everyone because I am off home today (4 days late). By the time this is posted … hopefully, because it’s on auto … I should be waiting on the platform at Reading station for my connection to Cardiff, then my onward journey to Ireland.

This is my last weeks project, but because I forgot the leads for my camera it never got posted. This week’s challenge for Little Miss Muffet is Wings & Things so I have revamped by adding butterflies, WAHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO it works for this week!

Tag For FSC

Still here in the UK, should have sailed home on Monday but with all those gale force winds I seriously didn’t fancy it so will be sailing home on Thursday instead.

Missed both my DT postings last week for Little Miss Muffet and Digi Doodle Shop Challenges. Can you believe I brought my camera with me but not the computer leads … grrrr.

Borrowed Clare’s camera and managed to take a pic of my Fashionable Stamping Tag which is this fortnights challenge. Made a box for the tag to fit into, got the info from Joanna and the box tutorial is here (found the scoring measurements a bit confusing) but worked it out by the pictures.

Anything Goes

I have been so busy with other things that I didn’t even know that my Thursday post for the Digi Doodle Challenge wasn’t there.

It is now, and what an adorable image I have used on my card, she is called Emily and the dog is called Scout from the Butterbeans Collection. Julie from Julie’s Craft Spot, picked the same image as me and I just adore the ribbons she put in Emily’s hair. Anyway nice easy challenge this week – ANYTHING GOES.

Do ya know what I swear this was me as a child

Shaker Cards

Play time with two very similar shaker cards, first card more muted colours, second one much much brighter and used a blue card instead of white..

Stamped flower with Versamark, then added white embossing powder. Inked over with TH Vintage Photo.
Cut out the stamped flower blooms inside the shaker and taped onto the same backing paper.

First card, cut out parts of the flower blooms and adhered double sided tape to place onto the backing paper. Second card I put foam pads behind the cut out flower petals then put onto the backing paper.

Brilliant, the diamond dust which I used for the shaker element falls being the petals in the second card and then comes back through one of the other petals.
