Sweet Doodles and Stamping

Hello

Time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin'

Doodles!

Sponsored by The Hobby House

who are giving one lucky winner £10 worth of goodies!

I went clean and simple for this one using the doodles to add dimension to my sentiment

The image is a digi from A Day for Daisies - Little Striped Dress

Coloured with Promarkers.

Sentiment is from a set by Doo Lally Pip called Don't be Afraid.

Doodled frames by me. 

I know some people struggle to doodle but this one is easy.

 Do a more or less straight line first then draw a wavy line next going slightly from one side of straight line to the other. Simples!

Top layer is popped on some 3D foam and matted onto black.

Get in shape with Sweet Stampin'

Erm Hello. 

Sorry I'm late. (hangs head in shame)

Was out celebrating my cousins 50th on Friday night when I realised 

I hadn't posted my pic for Sweet Stampin' or written the post. 

Bad enough but I then completely forgot about it yesterday too!

Senility maybe!

We want Shaped cards this week - no boring squares or rectangles.

You can win a great prize from The Hobby House 
plus be entered for the monthly prize from The Ribbon Girl.

So better late than never here is my shaped card

I used a cute Pollycraft image and sentiment - You're Udderly Amazing.
(I'm afraid she's shut up shop now so no link)

Coloured with Promarkers then fussy cut.
I stickled the balloon and it's dried patchy so I think I need to re-do it.

My card is cut from craft using Nesties Labels #1 so it's tiny.
(Wonder if Santa's listening!)

Paper is from My Minds Eye - Gnome Sweet Gnome pad

That's it - simples!

Sweet Stampin'- Shabby Chic

Hi Guys

Today my little girl is 11.

I can't believe how big she is getting.

We are going for a family lunch then off to get a gecko or 2. Then we have friends round this evening.

Anyway back to business.

It's a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' today.

Shabby Chic.

Sponsored by Bunny Zoe Crafts.

Plus our monthly sponsor The Ribbon Girl.

Now this ain't my thing but that's one of the reasons to be on a DT. It pushes me into doing things and trying techniques I wouldn't bother with normally, that's the Challenge part of it.

Adding in the fact that I was as wrung out as an old dish cloth from the evil bug we had and this one was definitely a challenge.

I used Lili of the Valley - Cake Glorious Cake!

Coloured with Promarkers.

A bit of stickles on the icing of the cake.

Paper is My Minds Eye - Blush. Distressed and inked with Old Paper.

Layered some Pale Pink Glittered Organza Ribbon over Hessian Mesh Ribbon (The Ribbon Girl)

Inked the image and doilie then chopped up the sentiment and inked it too.

Stuck on a few flowers and pearls.

Sorted.

Sweet Stampin' - Something Sweet

It's Team Fi's turn over on Sweet Stampin' and we want you to create Something Sweet.

This week you could win a prize from

Iva Nova Chest

and the Monthly prize from The Ribbon Girl

I had an idea for my card but while looking out the stamp came across this one and decided it deserved to be inked instead of lurking in the drawer.

The stamp is Lili of the Valley Mix it and Make it.

Coloured with Promarkers.

I think the paper was a magazine freebie but it's been in the stash for a while.

The little cupcake stamp and sentiment was from freebie set with a DoCraft mag.

Sweet Stampin' - Fathers Day

Hi Peeps 

It's time to play again over at Sweet Stampin'

This week is Fathers Day sponsored by Cuddly Buddly.
Plus you get a chance at the monthly Ribbon Girl prize.

I came across the image I've used and it reminded me so much of my Dad I had to get it.

Funnily enough I had just finished this card when my Dad called to say he was coming for a visit.

This was a lovely surprise as he lives in York which isn't exactly pop over distance from Glasgow.

Unfortunately he was up for a funeral but I'm not complaining. Don't get to see nearly enough of him and the kids loved seeing him.

Here is a pic of Emma and her Papa taken this week.

Onto the card tho...

It's Mo Manning - Father and Daughter

Coloured with promarkers.

The little un' could be me (mumbles) 40 odd years ago or my daughter a few years ago

I  echoed the image with the embossed flowers and the peach ribbon.

Computer generated the sentiment.

I'd like to enter it at
