Moving Along With The Times Challenge # 8

Good afternoon, what a lovely day it is here! Here is my sketch and theme for this week for the Moving Along With The Times Challenge . My theme this week is to make a 'teen card', so I have made mine for my daughter Jess how will becoming a teen in a few weeks. Her favourite colour is purple so, I frantically had to look through all of my boxes of paper to find some. It took quite a while, but then I came across this lovely dotty one from 'Doodlebug'. I decided to make an aperature with the sketch. You can flip it around and exchange some of the embellies, if you wish. I have used a flourish instead of a flower and lots of bling as Jess loves this! Please do pop on over to see what the lovely DT lades have come up with this week. Also, if you want to take part, there is a Guest DT spot on offer this week.

My card - Miss Anya image, coloured in using Spiga & Copic Ciao's. QK flourish, Kaisercraft bling bling, flowers from stash and sentiment from Hero Arts's.

Have to go sit in the garden for a while and make the most of all of this lovely sunshine, hope your able to do the same, have a lovely afternoon, hugs Heidi xxx

Good evening, just had to share one of the new beautiful images shortly to be released from Pollycraft . She is one of the new 'Sweet Dreams' collection. I have made this card for a dear friend and just had to use this little lady. I have had such a busy day, cleaning and tidying Georgia and Jessie's room, David did a car boot sale which cleared some more bits from the loft, and the weather here has been glorious again, so I did make some time to sit out in it for a change!

My card : Cherry Pink and Rain Bazzill cardstock, Abbey Road 'Whirly Bird' papers, Scallop Nestibilities. Hero Arts sentiment, Kaisercraft flowers and pearls.

Off to finish watching 'Jam & Jerusalem' on the box, there are three-one-hour special's, so will be glued to the telly every Sunday. Have a happy Monday! hugs Heidi xxx

Moving Along With The Times Challenge - Lisa's Sketch and Theme

Hello peeps, I am a bit late in posting, soz fellow DT members. My hubby came home last night from his trip to Oman and I just forgot the time! Anyway here is my DT entry for this week for Moving Along With The Times Challenge . The lovely Lisa, our newest DT member has come up with a super sketch and the theme of 'Baby'. There is a super prize sponsored by Lisa, so please take part. We will be looking for a Guest Designer soon, so go get making!

To my card, it wasn't hard to choose an image to use, I recently brought this little cutie Anya 'Snuggle' stamp. She reminds me of my Jess when she was little, such a great stamp, these Anya's are so easy to use! I have coloured her in useing my Copics, have mounted her on a Label's I nestie, then onto Kaisercraft 'Cherry Sherbert'papers, Anita's spotty ribbon and a SU sentiment. My yellow button stars are from Doodlebug.

Am off to make the most of my husband, who is very jet-lagged, bless him! Have so many jobs for him to do this weekend, must make a list, lol! What a meanie I am! Have a super day, hugs Heidi xx

Willow Sketchie Challenge - Katie's Sketch

Good afternoon ladies, wow what a hot one it is here! Well, close actually! The girls and I are sweltering as we speak, as there is no air at all, thank god for my electric fan! It has been quite a long week this one, my dear hubs has been away in Oman but is back tonight, yippee! better get used to sharing the bed and the remote again, lol! and my girlies are getting bored and want to go back to school, only another four weeks to go!

Right, here is one of my two DT cards for today, firstly its Willow Sketchie Challenge , great sketch from the super Katie and a sweet new download called 'All I want for Christmas'! Sorry I mentioned the 'C' word again, anyone that knows me well knows that I am not too happy about making Christmas cards in August, but this little image did help me with my card. Also, I gave a home to some new fabby Christmas papers yesterday, they are My Mind's Eye 'The Merry Day's of Christmas' ones, it was hard to choose which one to use first, so have gone with the 'Plaid' one. Along with some Red Bazzill, White sheer ribbon, gold Jelli Dots and some poinsettia's (brought last year, soz can't remember the name), have added some glitter glue and the finished result is simple but effective, me thinks! I was going for a smaller bow, but got a bit carried away, lol!!

Have itchy fingers, need to go colour something with my Copics before I get on with dinner, thanks for any comments left, I really appreciate all of them! Big hugs Heidi xx

Pollycraft Monday Challenge 'Buttons & Bows'

Good evening, here is my entry for the Pollycraft Monday Challenge . This week's theme was set by Ria and is 'Buttons & Bows' which I have included on my door hanger. I am really chuffed to have been asked to become a Guest DT for Pollycraft and am so looking forward to working with all of the lovely Design Team members over the next few months. I love using these little stamps/downloads, so it will be a pleasure to be included, so a big thanks to the lovely Paula for choosing me.


I made this little hanger for Jess & Georgia's door out of Pink & Brown Bazzill card, My Mind's Eye 'Bella Bella' paper using scallop nesties (there are scallops at the side too, bit disappointed that they aren't showing up well). The image is 'Mary Lou - Hello Sunshine!' The sentiment is also Pollycraft, flowers made using a 'Papershaper' flower punch, buttons, ribbon and pearls from my everygrowing stash.

Have had a pretty quiet day, my Jess hasn't been very well, so we haven't travelled too far today! It's been good to catch up with jobs at home and also do some crafting. We did add to our zoo though, the girls talked me into getting some new fish. Sherbert (Shabumpkin), Princess Peach (Fantail) and Squeak (Goldfish) now reside with us and I am sure will be dodging Molly's paw at some point, once she has realised where they are, lol!

Right am off to catch up with some sleep, thanks for stopping by, hugs Heidi xxx
