Challenge time over at Jellypark Friends and the theme is laughter

 

That's right the theme for this Jellypark Friends challenge is "Make us laugh and smile"

 

I had so much fun creating my DT card and with the lengthy Winter we seem to be having, this theme is just perfect to cheer everyone up :o).

 

 

I used my new pencils to colour both images, I have to be honest I haven't quite mastered colouring with them yet, I keep reverting back to my promarkers but as they say practise makes perfect so I shall keep trying. The background was created digitally and printed.

Feel quite sorry for dino boy with his little embarrassed face. Doesn't the woman look so classy though?

 

There's a funny new release image over at the Jellypark Store check her out.

 

She looks like she's lots of fun to be around.

 

 

Happy Crafting Folks.

Jellypark new releases and latest challenge - About a book

Hello, hello, hello and a huge Happy Friday one and all.

It's challenge time again over at the jellypark friends challenge blog and the theme this time round is "about a book" so we would love to see projects with books on them, book titles in them or someone enjoying a good read.

Both new release images are very much in keeping with this wonderful theme, I love reading as does my hubby and fortunately our love of books has rubbed off on both children.

When I saw the new releases I couldn't decide which one to use so I made a card from each.

First up is this very cute little fella who looks completely engrossed in what he is reading.

available to buy from here

I used one of my background papers that I created for another project and then coloured the little fella with promarkers, I made a library card and holder on the computer and printed them out. I loved those little brown envelopes when I was a child. I used to make them all the time when I was little so my sister and I could pretend to be librarians lol, the modern plastic cards just don't have the same impact :o)

Craft-room Challenge - in the library

Next up is this beauty.

available to buy from here

Doesn't she look so relaxed, I wonder what she is reading?

 I created a card base from some lovely patterned linen card I had in my stash (which I found when I was doing up the craft room, bonus lol). The image has been coloured with promarkers, I went for a nice bright yellow, not just because it's my favourite colour but the sun was actually out when I sat down to colour in. I found the quote online and thought it was quite appropriate. I used some little wooden flowers to embellish.

That's it from me for now I really hope to see some of your gorgeous book related projects over on the challenge blog.

Happy Crafting.

Jellypark Challenge with pastel theme

Oh my goodness has it really been that long since my last blog post.

I packed my entire craft room into boxes a couple of months ago, I wanted to revamp the room entirely as it wasn't very inspiring as a creative space. My original time scale was one week, two at the most, then I got the flu, another couple of life events cropped up and basically 2 months later I finally managed to unpack those boxes.

I love it in there now and amazingly even though I finished it 2 weeks ago it's still tidy lol. It won't last, it's still a novelty.

A couple of pics of the finished space.

The pic below is where the little one crafts she used to have to sit on the floor lol

Another positive about finishing the room is that I can finally get back to my Jellypark DT work :o)

Oh how I've missed colouring Claire's beautiful images.

Which leads me nicely on to.....

It's challenge time over on the Jellypark Friends Challenge Blog and the theme is pastels, pretty pinks, hazy blues, sage greens and perfect purples we would like to see cards or projects created in that colour scheme.

I decided to use one of the new release images from a fortnight ago available here, this gorgeous bird cage image.

I coloured it in and then took my trusty craft knife to it. I made the little flowers and the sentiment. The bird cage moves with the card as I attached it to the sentiment with a wire hanger.

I can't wait to see what pastel delights people come up with.

There are two brand new releases also available in the store today, how cute are they?

Promise not to leave it so long next time.

Happy Crafting Folks :o)

I love promarkers - anything goes

I'm still around

I know I haven't blogged for a while but I've had good reason, both kids got sick then I went and got the flu, I always thought flu was like a bad cold ooooohh noooooo I was so wrong, it's hell on earth. I'm not quite back to my old self, apparently it can be up to 6 weeks for a full recovery. As soon as I'm back to tip top health I will continue my jellypark DT work and get creating so I can blog some of my makes.

 

Stay well fellow crafters, roll on Spring.

 

Happy Crafting

I have been working with the new release images this week, I absolutely adore this fairy castle. I have been looking for a castle digi for ages so I could use it for this card design.

 

I drew a digital background and added some trees from a Jellypark Scrapbook pack available in the Store.

I coloured up the castle and Knight with promarkers and then painted with a pearl effect on to the roof.  I added a feather and decoupaged his helmet and shield. I created a birthday flag and matching sentiment.

 

 

This other new release of a gorgeous little fairy is available here

and the castle is available here
