PAPERTAKE WEEKLY - BINGO

Hi To You All

This is my very first card for the Papertake Weekly Challenge, I was thrilled when I was asked to join their super talented DT team - thank you so much for having me.

So, what's this week's challenge ..... it's 'BINGO' and our very generous sponsor this week is Whiff of Joy.

Now for those of you who don't know about BINGO, it's quite simple really, you just choose a line ie; horiztontal, vertical, diagonal or all four corners and your creation has to have all those elements in it.  For example the top line going across would be "Glitter - Punches - Lace", so we want to see whatever you make with these items on it so don't forget to mention it on your blog.

So what are you waiting for?  Get you entries in over at Papertake Weekly and you could be in with a chance to win.  Don't forget to check out what the wonderful DT girlies have made to whet your appetite.

Here is the card I made going with the bottom horizontal line - "Blooms - Ribbons - Gems":

Here is the card I have created:

I have edged everything using Black Soot Distress Ink.

For the sentiment all I did was print it out and draw the explosion shape around it and then cut it out - it's easy 'cos its all straight lines! LOL

That's it from me for now as I am going to be in my craft room all weekend as I have stacks and stacks of work to get through.

Have a great weekend whatever you are doing.

Totally Gorjuss - Challenge 104 - I Remember .....

Hey Everyone

It's Saturday and time for another fantastic challenge at Totally Gorjuss

This week's challenge is "I Remember ....." and can be anything from your childhood memories to Remembrance Day.  Go and see what the DT girlies have created, there is a real mixture for you to have a good old nosey at.

On to my card for the challenge:

My Nephew is serving in the Royal Air Force (hence the blue uniform) and is currently away on duties and is missing his new little baby girl so much I thought it fitting that I create a card which reminds us of all our men and women who leave their families to go and serve our country, not forgetting those that fought in WWI and WWII.

The recipe for my card is:

Stamp:  "Like Father Like Son" from Just Inklined

Digi Papers:  "Aviator" from Scrap Matters

I have edged everything in Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink

As normal I have copied the layout from the front of the card onto the inside:

So that's it from me, I hope to be back later in the day with some Halloween cards that I have made, but until then I hope you have a fabulous weekend, whatever you may be doing and hope that you can come and join in the fun with us at Totally Gorjuss.

Take care and Ciao for now.

Totally Gorjuss Challenge 97 - Manly

Hi Everyone

This is a scheduled post as I will be on my way to Harrogate for the GNPE (woo hoo) so I hope that it works - if not you won't be reading this post and I'll be a little embarrassed ;o).

So without further ado onto this weeks Totally Gorjuss challenge which is manly:

This week we have been sponsored by Crafter's Companion so make sure you go and check out what the fabulous Gorjussetts' have created - totally fab and some great inspiration.

Here is the card I have created:

The recipe for my card is:

Stamp:  Mo Manning "The Engineer"

Papers:  Scrap Matters "Aviator"

Buttons:  From My Stash

The image has been coloured with Copics as follows:

Skin:  E21 E00 E000

Everything Else:  E49 E47 E44 E43 E42 E41 E40

I have also used a Cuttlebug "Spots & Dots" embossing folder and sanded the top and everything has been edged with Walnut Stain Distress Inks.

The Aviator papers are not this sepia colour - to achieve this I have opened the papers in Photoshop and then changed the colour to sepia tones - cool huh!

That's it from me today - I'm probably sweating at the amount of money I have spent at Harrogate.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

See ya.
