It's a Geek Challenge over at Jellypark Friends

I love all things Geek so this Challenge  is right up my street.

 

I went with an image that will be hitting the store soon, I use this all the time, it's so versatile.

 

I found a striped paper that reminded me of shirt material, I coloured him with pencils and promarkers, the little ties have been decoupaged and I put some faux stitches around the edges.

 

There are also 2 new images available in Store, how cute are these!!

 

 

Happy Crafting folks and have a great weekend.

Jellypark Stamp Spotlight Friday

Hello crafty peeps

It's Stamp Spotlight Friday over at the Jellypark Challenge Blog 

and my fellow DT member Suzie has chosen this little cutie for us to use.

She is available here as an instant download from the Jellypark Store .

When I looked at the image, red and white polka dots came to mind, I also love grey pussy cats so I thought those colours would work well together.

I coloured her with my promarkers and cut around her before attaching to some pretty strawberry backing paper. I made the sentiment myself and coloured around the edge with a jelly roll pen. I also created the little dots on the frame with the same pen. The flowers are die cut and I finished them off with little pearls in the centre.

Challenges entered :- Rubys Rainbow - ch53 - furry friends  

Nutcrafters - challenge-41 - bingo Bottom row - die cuts, pearls, ribbon

That's all from me folks.

Have a great weekend.

Happy Crafting

Jellypark new releases and a new challenge

Hello, hello, hello, happy Friday :o)

 

My post today is all about the new release images from Jellypark which are available as an instant download from today.

 

Here they are:-

 

 

 Isn't she just adorabubble! I am going to use her on a card for my Etsy Store this week so I shall blog that later in the week.

I love this image, possibly because I'd love to have a beautiful garden. I'm a rubbish gardener I wish I wasn't, I can mow the lawn but that's about it lol.

 

No gardening involved in the making of this card fortunately.

I coloured her up with my promarkers (still bottling out with the pencils) die cut some flowers and gave them button centres. Love my new butterfly dies they are so pretty, I added some tiny gems to the bodies.

 

The current theme over at the Challenge Blog is Girly Girl so we would love to see all things pink, lacy and well girly lol.

 

Happy Crafting.

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)

Challenges entered:-
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.
