More of 'em

Those tricky men that is!

Good morning blogland,

It's the first Saturday of the month (who would believe we are in June already!) and so it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge and this month the challenge theme is 'All about the men or boys'.

As always we are a very easy going challenge - just follow the theme, don't backlink and a maximum entry of 3 per person.

This is my boy's card:

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

Saturated Canary - gamer

coloured with my Copics

Dies:

un-branded stitched rectangles

Lisa Horton Crafts - Bold Phrases

Whimsy Stamps - Frame

Stencil:

Honey Doo Crafts - Funky Lines Stencil

Anything else:

Distress Ink

Lisa Horton Crafts - Cloud 9 dye/pigment ink

And that's it folks!  Not the most exciting of cards, but I really wanted to try out the stencil and new ink pad, very happy with how it turned out too.

Hopefully see you over at the challenge?

Sarah

It's Summertime.....

 or is it?

Good morning blogland,

It's new challenge time over at Passion for Markers and the theme chosen this week by my Teamie Marie is 'Summertime'.  We are sponsored for this challenge by ColourofLove Digis with a lovely randomly drawn prize for one lucky winner.

As always to be in with a chance to win the prize we do ask that you follow the simple rules - use your markers (any brand), follow the theme and don't backlink.

Now even a few days ago this theme would have been very relevant - as most of the UK has been basking in an early heatwave - that broke for us today.  Currently it is pelting it down here in not so sunny Lincolnshire, so lets cheer ourselves up by looking at this nice summery card I made!

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

ColourofLove - Rory's Summer Fun

coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:

Daisy Bucket Designs - Happy Thoughts

Dies:

un-branded stitched rectangle

Anything else:

spotty card to matt

And that's it folks - it was a lot of colouring for this digi image, so the actual card I kept it really simple and just layered onto a matt and done!

I definiately am not hoping that the overly hot weather comes back but I wouldn't mind a little less rain and a little more sun again!

Hope everyone everywhere has got the weather they enjoy - and that you all wander over to the challenge and, if colouring is your thing, pop an entry in! 

See you again soon,

Sarah

Going in circles

Good evening blogland

Genuinely I am such a dimwit!  For the first time in absolutely ages I was invited to GDT on a challenge blog and guess what - I only went and got the days wrong in my head!

How on earth I got a Try it on Tuesday challenge in my head for a date that was a Friday I'll never know.  So all I can do is offer a genuine apology to the whole Team and get my card up as soon as possible, 

The theme of the challenge is use circles on you project and this is the card I made:

Supplies used:

Rubber stamps (and matching dies):

My Favorite Things: JB Monkey Around Duo

coloured with my Copics

Dies:

Pretty Pink Posh: Scallop Borders 1

MFT: Die-namics - I&O stitched circles

un-branded stitched rectangles

Anything else:

various very old designer papers

Time for Tea: Sweet Summer enamel dots

OK, so I will apologise one more time to all the lovely crafters over at Try it on Tuesday and go away to hide in my shame for being so incredibly late posting this!

Cheerio for now,

Sarah
