MAWTT Challenge # 12- My Sketch & Theme

Good evening, here is my card for this week's challenge over at Moving Along With The Times . My theme this week is 'Christmas', I expect a lot of you are like me and haven't really started the dreaded 'C' cards yet, so this makes it one less to make. The prize this week is a Guest Design Team spot, so please do take part. I hope you like my sketch, I was really happy with this one, the DT girlies have made some wonderful cards/candle so do pop over and take a peek. You have until Wednesday 16th September at 8pm to enter, so hurry up and get creative!

My card : 'Elzybells' image and sentiment, My Mind's Eye papers, Fiskar's punch and Kaisercraft bling. Red and Blue Swiss Dot Bazzill cardstock.

I have several birthday cards to make this evening, so had better get on with them, thanks for stopping by, Heidi xxx

Wilow Sketchie & Moving Along With The Times Challenges

Good evening all, better late than never I suppose! Here are my two DT cards for today, I really must apologise for not popping over to all of your blogs this week, all sorts of things have been happening with me and the family, I will do my best to make up for it over the weekend, I really can't wait to see what you have all been making!

Anyway, here are my offerings. Two totally different cards, one using Pyramage, which I loved doing, I am not a big fan of decoupage, but loved how easily this came together, anyway here they are, hope you likey!

Willow Sketchie Challenge - Lynsey's Sketch.



For this week's Willow Sketchie Challenge . A great sketch from the lovely Lynsey using the super-cute new download 'Precious' available now. Sharon asked me to do a Christmas card, as you can see, she is coloured in using Copics, I have used My Mind's Eye, The Merry Days of Christmas papers and red Bazzill card. The nestie is Labels 9 and the ribbon is from Anita's. The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp. The sparkly blue stars are from my dear friend Steffi-woo, thanks Steff!

Moving Along With The Times - Sketch # 11 by Clare C.




The lovely Clare's sketch was an easy one to follow over at Moving Along With The Times . I loved the circles and decided to use one of my new purchases, the little fairy is from 'Fairy Doodles', isn't she just the cutest! I have used some Cosmo Cricket papers, pink and turquoise Bazzill cardstock. The flower is made using two different sizes of daisy punch from Papershapers. Bazzill tulle and a jelli dot finish it off. The sentiment is also Fairy Doodles.

Well, am off to do some well overdue blog hopping, have a great evening! hugs Heidi xxx

Pollycraft Monday Challenge # 23 - Furry Friends

Good afternoon, hope you are all enjoying your bank holiday's? The girlie's and I went to town today, to get last minute uniform bits a bobs, we had a fab time, it's not often the four of us go shopping together. As normal I spent far too much, lol!

Here is my first Guest DT card for the Pollycraft Monday Challenge , this week's theme is 'Animals'. I was so chuffed to be asked to join the team for a short while, the other designer's cards are so inspirational, please do pop over and join in the challenge. You don't have to use a Pollycraft image, you will be put in a monthly draw to win a £25.00 voucher to spend at the Pollycraft shop, sorry hurry over and take part!

For my card, I have used this cute new download available for the amazing price of only 99p. She is from the 'Animal Scribbles' range and is called 'Kitty Flowers'. I have coloured her in using my Copics and have matted her onto 'Yam' and 'Rain' Bazzill cardstock and 'My Mind's Eye, Pretty Please' papers. The flowers, buttons and jelli dots are from stash and the sentiment is from Hero Arts. The scallop punch I have used is from Fiskars.

Right the housework is not going to do itself, thanks for stopping by and any comments left, enjoy the rest of the day! Hugs Heidi xx

Good evening, just a quick post this evening as I have promised Georgia a long story before bed. Here is my DT card for Moving Along With The Times Challenge . The sketch and 'flowers' theme were from the lovely Hazel. There are some lovely crafty bits up for grabs, so please do take part!

How I made my card : Image - Penny Black, Cardstock - Bazzill, Papers - Doodlebug, Punch - Hydrangea from Martha Stewart. Nestibility, flower, button and Anita's ribbon from stash.

Have a super evening. I am off tommorrow, so am hoping to grab some ME time and do some crafting. Night night, thanks for stopping by, hugs Heidi xx

Hello & A Little Sausage!

Good evening, I have been a bad blogger again! There are definately not enough hours in the day at the moment to cram everything in, work, kids, ironing and blogging! I am envious of all of you lucky ladies that manage to get a card done each day, I aim to be just like that.

Anyway, I made this little card the other day and wanted to share it with you. I have used last week's Pollycraft's 'Friday Freebie', it is such a lovely little sausage dog! Anyone who know's me well, know's that I just love these little dogs, may have something to do with the fact that I am half German. David and I can never agree on dogs, he loves Labrador's, big boundy ones that would take you for a walk! I however, am more for the sedate sort of dog and this one is for me. Also, it is the ideal size to fit through Molly's cat-flap, so less walking! Anyway, here is one of the three that are up for grabs, do hurry though, another freebie will be on offer in two days.

For my card I have used up lots of stash items. A 'kraft' card, brown and yellow bazzill scraps. Some lovely lemon paper, think its My Mind's Eye, not sure though! Kaisercraft brown pearls and some great paw-print ribbon. I have coloured 'Fritz' in with my Copic's and have decoupaged the daisy. The sentiment is from Woodware.

Will be back tommorrow with a DT card, sleep well, I know I will tonight! hugs Heidi xx

Willow Sketchie & Moving Along With The Times Challenges

Hello peeps, long time no post! Have been down in Devon for a few days, hence the lack of blogging this week. The weather was cold and blustery, but we made the most of the lovely scenery and food and had a great time!

We got back on Thursday, just in time to celebrate my daughter Amy's 'A' Level results, our girl did great! She will be going to Chichester Uni (places permitting) in September 2010. Well done Amy, we are very proud of you!

Right, to my challenges. I will apologise now, this post is going to be a long one as I am a few days late with both challenges, I have put them together in one.

Moving Along With The Times .



It is my dear buddie Clare's (Taffy) turn to do the sketch and what a super one it is too! I have used one of my new stamps, which I have had in the draw for a couple of months now, she is a Ketto 'Miss Match' stamp from Stamping Bella. My papers are Bo Bunny 'Delilah - Promise', Brown and pink Bazzill Cardstock, large and medium Papershaper flower punches. Brown and Pink Jelli dots and sentiment are from Craftwork Cards.

Willow Sketchie Challenge



Another cute download from the lovely Sharon , this is called 'Keeping Warm'. Such a lovely little image to work with, am getting into this Christmas card making, lol! The lovely Karen has come up with a super sketch, thanks hun! I decided that my new papers just had to be used, they are 'My Mind's Eye', The Merry Days of Christmas - All Aglow', Red Bazzill cardstock, QK 'Dots' border die, Papershaper scallop punch, Hero Art snowflakes and Doodlebug bling.

I have a day off from the shop today, so we are giving Amy's room a lick of paint and laying some wooden flooring. Better go and give him a hand, or I will be in trouble, lol! Have a super weekend, hope to be back with another card later, if I can get away! Heidi xxx

Elzybells Thursday Challenge # 25 - 'Plaid'

Good evening, the week has come and gone a little too quick again! I treated myself to some new stamps this week, here is one of the cards that I have made with them. This is my entry for the Elzybells Thursday Challenge, you have to use 'plaid' somewhere on your card.

I just love this little Sunflower girl and have coloured her in with some Kohl-I-Noor pencils, oooo they are soooo lovely, I have actually put my Copics down for a change, lol! I haven't made a slider card for ages, the large sunflower was just right to use. The sentiment I had already had in my large box of Elzybells stamps. The cardstock is Bazzill and the paper is some plaid that I found by chance. Have added some bling from Kaisercraft, these stones are so lovely and sparkly, hope my photo shows them off well!

Am off to play some more, this time with my Stawberry girl, have a good evening! hugs Heidi xxx
