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.

Latest Jellypark Challenge and New Releases

 

Happy New Year, just realised this is my first post of 2013, note to self must do more blogging.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

It's Challenge and new release time over at the Jellypark Friends Challenge Blog the current theme is Winter Animals. We would love to see your projects which feature penguins, polar bears, robins whatever animal/bird you associate with Winter really.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

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

Happy Crafting Folks.

Jellypark Challenge Old and New

Wow it's the last Jellypark Friends Challenge of 2012. Where on earth has this year gone, it seems to me that I blinked and missed it :o)

 

I hope 2013 is a much drier year, there has been far too much rain of late for my liking.

 

Anyway enough grumbling about the weather, the latest theme over at the challenge blog is old and new.

 

We would like to see how you've used old stash alongside new stash (I hope you all got lovely Christmas crafty treats).

 

My card contains some old buttons and ribbons and I made the flower with a new die and I also got lots of new eyelets for Christmas.

The image I used is available here from the Jellypark Store.

 

Claire has also released two fab teenager images

available here

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year and all the very best for 2013.

Happy Crafting.

Jellypark New release images

Yeah thank crunchy it's Friday

My kids are most upset they thought they were breaking up this week but it isn't until next Thursday, don't you just hate it when that happens. It's like waking up thinking it's Saturday, rolling over to go back to sleep only for the alarm to go off and remind you it's only Friday.

 

I haven't been able to spend much time in the craft room lately for one reason and another so it was a real treat to go in and create this card to showcase one of the new Jellypark release images.

 

I created a digital background and then imported one of the October release stamps of a Polar bear available here and then added today's new release which is a very pretty tag image.

 

As it's Christmas I also added coloured glitters to the the tag and the lights on the tree.  The polar bears were shaded with promarkers.

This is only one of the new release images available today so pop on over to store or the Challenge blog to see the other one.

 

The latest Jellypark Friends challenge is to use a tag on your project so this new release would be just perfect for that.

 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Happy Crafting

It's challenge time over at Jellypark Friends Challenge Blog

Time flies when you're having fun and oh my the weeks are flying in, so I must be having lots of fun :o).

 We have a new challenge over at the jellypark friends challenge blog.

The theme is stars. I was spoilt for choice over in the jellypark store for images to use for this theme. I chose a recent new release image for a new baby.

 

The backing paper is a digital download from Jessica Sprague and I printed co-ordinated papers and cut star shapes for the background. I coloured the image with promarkers.

Claire is also releasing two new images today, so pop on over to the challenge blog for a look at what the DT have come up with using them.

 

Happy Crafting.
