Hell...what's one more friggen candle?!

Good evening!

'Hello stranger', I hear you say! I know I've not been on for a few days, but I was laid up with a really horrid cold and cough, that really took it out of me and all I could manage to do was get my shifts at work done, and entertain my now 4yr old Keiran! Any crafting took a back burner I'm afraid! I also have a lot going on in my private life right now too, so I may be absent somewhat over the coming weeks, but I shall still endeavour to post. After all, I still have commissions to make!

And here is one of them! 

This is my DT card for our new challenge at Crafting For All Seasons, where this week our challenge is 

HANDMADE FLOWERS

We are sponsored by 

who are giving the lucky winner 7 digis!

The image I used is Frame It Stella - One More Candle and she's coloured with Promarkers. The papers are Shabby Princess - Sweet Sprinkles, and I made the flower using 'blind' fabric!

Challenges

The Sweet Stop - #156 (using sketch #93)

Ladybug Crafts Ink - Birthdays

Simon Says Stamp - Birthday!

Right...shattered now so I'm off! See you soon I hope! :)

Yee Ha! Happy Birthday!!

Howdy y'all! 

I'm here with another commission card tonight...

This is for another of my regular customers, for her Mum's birthday. The image is the new Dottie 2 Step from Bugaboo, and for the first time ever, I have paper pieced her! Now I've seen Jen do it loads and never plucked up the courage to do it before, but now I'm really glad I did! It's so easy, and it makes it easier to match your backing papers too as you just use the same ones you've used to paper piece it! I shall definitely be using this technique again! :)

The papers, by the way, are all from Pixel Scrapper. I only used my Promarkers for her hair and skin.

I am entering this into Tuesday Morning Sketches #140 and that's all because I'm too tired to root around looking for more challenges tonight!Hope you all have a fab Easter with lots of crafting! I shall mostly be working!

April Showers at Crafting For All Seasons

Good afternoon!

I have scheduled this post as when it goes live I shall be helping out at a kid's craft day at our local church...I bet it'll be fun! :)

So it's time for another challenge at Crafting For All Seasons and this time the theme is

APRIL SHOWERS!

And we've already had some of those today! Not to mention the wind!!

We are sponsored by

Prize - 7 digis

and our very own Jani!

Jani has just started designing and selling digi images so do pop on over and take a look!

Anyway, here's my card...

I have used Deacon Rain from Bugaboo, and coloured him with Promarkers. The papers are Pixel Scrapper and My Mind's Eye, and it's finished with a couple of dewdrops and some glossy accents on the raindrops and puddle. I distressed the edges of the papers as I didn't want to matt and layer...I wanted a clean-ish look!

I shall pop back later to enter it into some challenges...

Bye for now! :)
