<br>
I was trying to tidy my craft items and came across my trusty promarkers. I haven't done any colouring for months and was a little apprehensive about starting again (so I picked out an image that I had previously coloured so I had a reference picture) <br>
<br>
I printed out one of my favourite digital stamps from Anonymous stamps the walking boot and added a beautiful digital background from my trusty craft artist.<br>
<br>
I think the final card topper has turned out ok.<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGrM6qb7sizYb7Vq_7YmZnTP2r9zQUkrEG8Qh4JVcofnXY0JR0KczgetcMMp5OB_gdqKHDrnCeUczrprBTfZ_QemGc3Q4VKMuJv7x5_4N6bAH7s3VPk-dEpUqGoeeuh5ddMKNXrxD-Ct6-/s640/blogger-image--104007528.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGrM6qb7sizYb7Vq_7YmZnTP2r9zQUkrEG8Qh4JVcofnXY0JR0KczgetcMMp5OB_gdqKHDrnCeUczrprBTfZ_QemGc3Q4VKMuJv7x5_4N6bAH7s3VPk-dEpUqGoeeuh5ddMKNXrxD-Ct6-/s640/blogger-image--104007528.jpg"></a></div><br>

I saw a similar idea on pinterest and thought I would make my own version.<br />
<br />
I started with a 6"x6" card blank<br />
I then added a layer of black that was just slightly smaller than my base card<br />
Next I went to my trusty inkscape and created the shape for the monster ( this basically meant taking a rectangle and adding a semi circle to the top. I also made various size circles to use for eyes, and then finally some more circles of varying sizes that i welded together to make the teeth for the monster.<br />
I scored the largest piece at approx halfway up and matted this onto the black.<br />
I then stuck the teeth to the underside of flap to give the effect of teeth<br />
To give the eyes dimension cut out and layered up five of the smaller black circles and to give a final dimension covered them in glossy accents.<br />
The glossy accents was also used to add some dimension to the face and body of the lil' monster.<br />
<br />
I think you will agree this is a simple but cute card for a girl or a boy.<br />
<br />

Well it's been another very busy week in our house. I love the school holidays, but it takes alot of effort to entertain the boys.<br />
<br />
Today's card is a very simple one by my standards (not many diamante on this one).<br />
<br />
I started with the basic shaped card element from one of my favourite designer's Birds Cards, and then created a shaped matting layer from one of her background files. I loved the look so much I made it in a couple of colourways. (My favourite by far is the black/white/pink)<br />

<br />
Today's card is yet another sparkly number I love making cards using diamante. For this card I took an image from My Craft Studio with the words Mr and Mrs on and cut it out of both black and white card-stock, then matted the white onto the black to give the element a shadow effect. I then got out my 4mm clear diamante and stuck them over the word element of the Mr and Mrs cut out (each stone is stuck on individually). I then printed a free bride and groom image on the right hand edge of an 8"x8" (I think this was a free image from the papercraft inspirations website). The final step was to stick the Mr and Mrs cut out on the left hand side of the card.<br />
<br />
I was really happy with the final result, I would love to here what you all think of it.<br />

Sure I can do that was my immediate reaction, but then the reality set in, what sort of themes for a man would lend themselves to being made in pink.<br />
<br />
Never fear good old Birds Cards free background cutting files will help me out. I know she did one that was like a <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/when-santa-got-stuck-up-the-chimney/">brick wall</a> so I downloaded the file, the only problem was that it was for a square card so using my trusty inkscape I managed to increase the size of the wall to A4, then I thought what guy doesn't like superheroes so I made an explosion in the center of the wall and added the words sorry you are leaving, I combined the explosion with the wall background and cut it out of white cardstock, which I then layered of the top of some pink glitter card. (this card is starting to look very pink) The final touch was to add the recipients name which I created using the font Pacifico cut out of white cardstock with a matting layer of pink and highlighted with clear 4mm diamanté.<br />

So I took the Happy Birthday 2U file from <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/happy-birthday-2-u/">Birds Card</a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null">s</a> cut it out in white with a silver base layer and then added some 4mm clear ab diamanté to the 2U element of the design. I then stuck this onto a 6inch square card, I feel the result is simple but stylish.<br />

Well it's a sunny Sunday afternoon here in South Yorkshire (England) and I got to thinking about my little blog that I started many years ago. I was shocked to find that it's been two years since I last posted on here.</h4>
<br />
It's funny how life passes by so quickly, and some things remain the same whilst others change dramatically.<br />
<br />
I still love to craft and find it a great way to relax, although with the boys growing they are needing me more and so my 'me' time has reduced dramatically; but I wouldn't have it any other way, before long they are not going to want to be spending all their free time with their dear old mum.<br />
<br />
Going forward I will be showing my makes and giving details of how I made them. <br />

I have joined a number of groups to help me improve my knowledge and hopefully find a style that suits me.<br />
<br />
I answered a call for people to work with a brand new set of kits called Today I learn to by Buzinette you can view and purchase the wonderful kits <a href="http://digital-crea.fr/shop/buzinette-c-155_306/?zenid=a55bf28c41af06742b1bef686fd8a345">here</a><br />

<br />
If you are a regular follower of my blog you will know how much I love my Craft Artist 2, and recently I have started learning about digi scrapbooking. I love scrapbooks but don't have the space or time to traditionally scrap. I have joined a number of facebook groups recently trying to learn more about digi crafting and it is on one of these groups that I saw my perfect creative roll. It combined my new found interest of scrapping with digital (perfect).<br />
<br />
I emailed Stephanie Bee Tree Studios and she loved my work.<br />
<br />
So here is my first project for Bee Tree Studios, the kit I got to work with is called The Graduate.<br />
<br />
Below is my first layout<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In order to relieve some of the pressure I made the sad decision to reduce some of my DT work, I put the names of the three teams in a hat (I just couldn't decide any other way as all the teams are fab) and let my youngest pull one out, the result of which is that this will be my last DT post for creative moments . I would like to add that the team have been fab and couldn't wish for a better boss than Alex.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Any way enough of the sad news and onto something positive, this fortnights challenge was a little different.</div>

I've been struggling of late with my crafty mojo, so when the idea for this came to me in the middle of the night I had to act on it.</div>

<div>
The background was created in Craft artist and the digi stamp was added and the image was coloured using pencil</div>

and the theme is Anything Goes/ Easter Colors<br />
<br />
I'm not normally a lover of flowers but for some reason this poppy stamp called out to me.<br />
<br />
I as always started by creating a background in my trusty craft artist professional, I have a few papers but with two little boys around storage can be a problem more often than not they end up ruined by the boys. By creating the backgrounds myself I can also change the colours to suit my project.<br />
<br />
I coloured the poppies with my promarkers, then the final piece was mounted onto some silver mirri and then added to a 6x6 craft card blank.<br />

For this piece I have tried to do the no lines technique (where you print the image out very faintly so you don't see the lines when you have finished colouring) I also for the first time coloured with pencils but not the expensive ones these were a pack of 36 crayola ones like you would purchase for using with children. </div>

<br />
Angie creates the most beautiful digital kits that I use in my Serif Craft Artist. Her latest creation is called 'A little Whimsy', I love it.<br />
<br />
The kit is full of bright primary colours ideal for scrapbooking the many photos I have of my boys and I'm really enjoying creating these pages. I am a hybrid crafter so am combining my love of digital with real matting and layering and adding gems. I just need to save now for an 8" x 8" album to put my completed pages in.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of layouts I made the other night, the kit has so many embellishments that remind me of the project life kits (which I love but cannot afford)<br />

Anything for Kids<br />
<br />
This week I have done something that is relatively new to me, scrapbooking.<br />
<br />
I chose this fun bunny image and coloured it in using my spectrum noir pens.<br />
<br />
I then set about creating my page in Craft artist using a beautiful digi kit from Angie Hinksman called<br />
Eyecandy which you can purchase at the daisytrail shop.<br />
<br />
The final step was to combine my digital crafting with some real embellishments for this I cut out the bunny digi stamp and also punched a border strip from some white card which i then coloured green.<br />

What do you all think, I love the cuteness of the bunny and hope you can see the texture I've tried to add when I coloured him in.<br />

Where is this year going to I can't believe we are already into March. Its new challenge time over at Creative moments and as usual we have been spoilt with the images we had to play with <br />
<br />
The theme is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anything Goes/Steampunk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sponsor is Delicious Doodles</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this challenge I attempted another first for me which was colouring in sepia tones, not easy. The theme did help with my chosen colour scheme I think steampunk does suit monochrome and sepia tones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here is my creation using a fab digi stamp from Delicious doodles who do the most fantastic images.</div>

In hindsight I wish I had mounting my colouring onto a copper colour layer as I think it would have made it 'pop' more, but lesson learned for next time.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">For my DT piece I picked the boot with spring blooms in, hopefully spring is on its way.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">For my first card I printed out a background paper from the Angie Hinksman digi kit Isabel papers 01 then set to work colouring the boot with my trusty promarkers, I'm not 100% happy with it as I feel the flowers aren't quite right yet. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Well it's new challenge time again over at Artistic Inspirations and this week we are being sponsored by </b></span><br />

<a href="http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.co.uk/"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>MelJens</b></span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b>who are giving 4 images for the winner</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the theme is Anything Goes/Sparkle</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For my card I chose this super cute bear asleep on the moon.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> To purchase your copy of the stamp click <a href="http://meljensdesigns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_3&products_id=905">here.</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have as always combined my love of digital crafting with my new found love of colouring. The first step was to create a background which as always I created using Craft Artist Professional and the digikit Nursery Rhyme which can be purchased through the daisytrail shop.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I then printed out my background with my digistamp placed where I wanted it to be and set about colouring it, I have used a combination of all my pens(Promarkers/Spectrum Noir/Graphits)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Like many other things in life there are colours in each range that I favour I love the vibrancy of the yellow from graphit but love the skin tones of my promarkers.</span><br />

I struggled a little this time as I knew which image I really liked but then wondered how I could incorporate it into a project.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Then inspiration came to me when I read a post by my neice about shopping, boy does this young woman love to shop and she always manages to grab a bargain.</div>

I was so excited as if involved making my favourite style of card Clean and Simple.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went to their blog and read up on it, I then got out my party paws birthday digi kit for serif and started to create my layout. The first card layout I made was DL size i haven't made one of these for awhile and I think it suits the CAS. For the front I added the cupcake panda and faux strip of ripped backing paper, plus a few buttons, I then printed out my front and made a base to stick it on using my ultimate board, I then added some glossy accents to the faux buttons and on to the sprinkles the finally step was to grab one of my spectrum noir pens BP6 and add a very fine line around the edge. You can't see from the picture very well but the glossy accents adds some real dimension to the sprinkles and buttons.</div>

I love CAS cards but not sure if my cards are too simple would love to hear your thoughts on this.<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed using my party paws again just proves products can come out time and again and still never look dated, I just love the Crafters companion products and am always visiting the uk site dreaming of what I would buy if money was no object.<br />
<br />
Since writing this post I have made a couple more cards I will post pics later. For your chance to find out more and enter click <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/blog/crafterscompetition/2014/02/last-call-for-cas-challenge-entries/#">here</a></div>
