Happy Birthday
I am finally caught up with all of Beccy's challenges from this year. This one is the sketch challenge from February. I'd printed out the image in February but that month my father had a massive stroke and passed away. He hadn't been sick at all so it was a massive shock for all of us. My mother couldn't cope on her own so I ended up doing alot for her in getting the house sold. She has now shifted nearer to me and is getting more and more settled all the time. So, I am now finding I'm getting a bit more "me" time.

It is the first time that I have used a grey scale image and I quite enjoyed colouring it up. I also added an autumn coloured flower embellishment which was the last in the pack (now I wish I'd bought more packs). I added a "stem" using pearls

I Didn't Say You Were Old
I was working on this card yesterday but didn't get it finished until this morning as while I was working on it a group of school children threw rocks at my unit and did a fair bit of damage. I spent the rest of the evening organising repairs and speaking to the police. Found out that they had hit another two houses before mine - seemed that they had nothing better to do on their way home from school. I'm hoping that they get caught.

Silent Night
Now that I have a few more Marianne's products, I am able to create a card using nearly all Marianne's products (excluding the cardstock, colouring and bling).
And this is the inside of the card:

Happy Howlidays
I just realised that I hadn't posted my midway for the Year Of The Dog challenge at Scribbles Designs.
I have used Puppy Snow and Happy Howlidays from Scribbles Designs.
The background paper is a digital paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles. I also used some mesh ribbon and die-cut some snowflakes using a die set from Sissix. I also added some tiny pearls to the centres of the snowflakes.

Back To School
I had a visit from my daughter today so I'm a bit behind with things. I should really be in bed by now but besides posting this card I created before she arrived, I have some other things that needed to be completed tonight. At least I got her to do some heavy lifting for me while she was here (bags of compost ready for spring planting).

CRAFT Challenge - Back To School
http://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2018/08/challenge-480-23rd-of-august-back-to.html
I have used a digital paper from PixelScrapper. The image is from The Paper Shelter and coloured with copic markers. I used some letter stickers for the sentiment - I thought these had a handwritten schoolish look to them. I adhered them to cardstock which I then mounted up so that it could act as a stopper for the easel. I also added some stars - as this boy is going to be a star with his studies! The tape measure at the bottom is a fabric one.

Summer Living
A summer card - not that we have summer weather here yet. It takes me 20 minutes to drive to work and on the way today it managed to go from watery sun to rain to sun to rain to sun and then rained again just after I got in the door!

Feline Prehistoric?
We are back again with a new challenge at Path Of Positivity after our midwinter break (at least it was for me!). This month we are continuing with our colour theme and it is a favourite of mine - Shades of Orange. Sponsors for this challenge are Imagine That! Digis and Luna Girl.
For my challenge start project, I have used an image and sentiment from Imagine That! Digis from a set called Bambi and Max. There are another two sentiments in the set and both Bambi and Max are also on their own.
I have also used a digital paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles as well as some pale orange glitter domes.

Christmas Blessings
A bit of a non-traditional christmas card this morning. I was just playing with a background and then found a piece of glitter cardstock that matched. The only dies I had out were snowflake ones so it sort of evolved from there!

Cupcake Inspirations - Backgrounds
http://cupcakeinspirations.blogspot.com/2018/09/cic453-crafty-sentiments.html
I have used some Distress Ink Refills and Shaving Foam to create the background. The image is from Crafty Sentiments and is coloured with copic markers and fluro copic markers. The dies used for cutting the snowflakes are from Sissix. The sentiment is from Digi Doodles.
I now have fingers that match the background on this card! It is a messy process but produces interesting backgrounds.

Angel
This week's optional theme at CHNC is to Include an Angel.
For my card, I have used an angel image from Bugaboo Stamps. I followed the sketch at Stella Says Sketch. I printed my image onto white cardstock and coloured with copic markers and Wink Of Stella. I added an offcut of Christmas paper from a paper pad by Sugar and Spice Studio. I also added some gemstones.
