New DT Position - Digi Choosday - Whoop Whoop!!

Hi all,

Oh my goodness, I am so happy I can't begin to tell you.

Recently I saw that the lovely Nikky Hall from Polkadoodles was having a DT call and I thought "what have I got to lose?" - so I applied.

Well, I only got accepted didn't I?

I am so happy right now and have been dying to tell you all.

So this is my first post for Digi Choosday - the fabulous challenge blog run by Polkadoodles which I had been entering quite a bit recently.

Best of all, every Tuesday there is a fabulous deal on selected digital goodies from the Polkadoodles store.

So here we go then.

The theme as always is:

ANYTHING GOES

For my project I decided to make a gift box (containing a little gift) to give to my friend who has a new kitten. (Now I know the kitten shouldn't have the treats I have added so I shall replace them with treats a kitten can have. 😀)

I used the beautiful Boo to make a gift tag.

The gift tag is attached to a small gift box to which I added some Cat Treats.

On the gift tag there is a lovely sentiment which I thought was perfect for this gift.

You can find the sentiment as part of a set.

The set is called Winnie Celebrations 1 - Sentiment Set

So I printed out the sentiment, the Boo image and added "A New Kitty" on the computer.

The image is coloured with my Polychromo pencils.

The little gift box is made from a "Cracker Card" which I have had in my stash for simply ages and never got around to using.

Before I glued the box together I covered the cracker card with one of the fabulous printable papers that Polkadoodles do.

I used "Distressed Wood" - I went with the multicoloured sheet because I thought it added a bit more interest.

I cut off the border at the bottom and folded the sides in to make a solid box.

Added the tag to the front of the box and closed the "lid" with twine.

I am really pleased with how this turned out and I hope you like it too.

Thanks for stopping by and I do hope you can find the time to join us at Digi Choosday.

Colour Crazy Craft Challenge - Week 22

Hi all

Well, just for a change I am here to share my project as part of Team D, my actual team. Lol.

So, our Sponsor this week is the fabulous,

BUGABOO

I have been a fan of Bugaboo images for simply ages.

In fact, I won one of their Grand Prizes in a big competition/giveaway way back when and was lucky enough to be able to add 50 images to my Bugaboo Library.  I have simply loads now. 😍😍

Anyway, one of the images that the Sponsor has provided is one I already have.  I love the Stella and Gus images don't you?  The sentiments that go with them are just fabulous.

If you have never come across Bugaboo before then you really should pop on over to their store and have a good look around.  I just know you will find something to suit.

So, here is the card I made for this week's challenge.

I used

  Stella Birthday, Over the Hill 

I wanted the image to be the central focus and then use the sentiment split into three.

I did the background for this one using my Craft Artist software and then coloured the image with my trusty FC Polychromo Pencils.

I think the combination of a printed background and hand coloured digital image works really well.  What do you think folks?

I am looking forward to seeing all your fabulous entries this week but remember, as the name of the challenge suggests, we are a colouring challenge and we must see some hand colouring on your project.  We do not accept digitally coloured images I'm afraid.

Have fun.

Hello lovely peeps!

How are you all?  Enjoying the Summer?

So Aurora Wings may have closed their challenge blog but ..... whoop whoop they are doing challenges on Facebook now!

The theme will always be:

Anything Goes

Unless there is a special occasion that warrants a different theme.

So, I thought I would enter this card.

I just adore the Sprite images that Mitzi produces, I may have mentioned that before, Lol.

This one is no exception and is just so adorable and crying out to be a really girly card.

So I have used the gorgeous

SUGAR PLUM SPRITE

If you want to nip off and purchase her, and let's face it, why wouldn't you? lol, here are all the buying details you will need.

So, without further ado, let me show you what I did:

How could I not colour her up in shades of pink and purple eh?

She is such an adorable little image don't you think?

Once again she is coloured with my Polychromo Pencils.

I know it takes a little bit more time to colour with pencils than markers but I do love the effects.

The backing paper is from a Lili of the Valley with NitWits collection called Pastel Dreams and it was just the perfect background for this image.

The flowers and other embellishments are all from my stash and I had even forgotten that I had those feathers but the colour was just perfect. (It is actually shocking pink not red as it looks in the photo, LOL).

The Happy Birthday ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.  This colour is Garden Rose but they have so many colours you would be spoilt for choice.

A lovely friendly company that is well worth a visit.  Their ribbon range and ribbon embroidery is fabulous.  You will be like a kid in a sweetshop if you go, so remember your pennies. Hehehe. 

So there you go then, my little Sugar Plum Sprite in all her pink glory.

I shall enter her into the following challenges:
