Not Blogging, Just Hopping



Hi Everyone,

I'm sorry to say, I have had to bow out of the 12 Days of Christmas this year.  If you have arrived here from the lovely Monique's blog, then you are on the right track :) and now I am going to send you off to the very talented MaryKay's Place without keeping you a moment longer :)

Have fun :)

Rock n' Rolla

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all having a good weekend :)

Rock n' Rolla is the monthly challenge over at Smeared and Smudged.  The inspiration for the challenge is the song Danger, High Voltage by Electric Six.  I made a card a while back with the intention of entering it into this challenge, but is was a  s-t-r-e-t-c-h,  so in the end, I decided against it and made this one instead......it's a bit more literal LOL.

Here it is, let me know what you think

  

The images are all borrowed from the net, including the background, which is made up of light bulbs, not that you can see much of it :)

Procrastination

Hi Everyone,

Hop you are all well :) Thanks you for all your kind comments on my previous posts :)

Yes you read right, I am procrastinating, I should be making Christmas cards, but my Christmas mojo has deserted me :( I just can't get in the Christmas mood.

I sat down to craft and this is what I produced


I've called it Sorrow, for no other reason than that was what sprung to mind when I looked at it :)

I have used Gwendolyn (minus the balloons), one of Simply Betty's Steampunk Romance Digi Images.  The lamp post is an Inkadinkadoo stamp and the backing paper is from Crafty Chaos Designs

Last One

Hi Everyone,

How are you all today?
Before I show you my card I wanted to let you know that Simply Betty is having a Pre Black Friday Sale


If you click on the button it will take you to Simply Betty Stamps :)

Now, on to my card......... Today I have made a card using the last of the four Limited Edition Steampunk images from Simpy Betty Stamps. This image is called Little Lavinia and I have printed her 9 x 13 cm, again, because it gives a nice clear image, which is easy to colour and fits the proportions of my card.  I have kept this card nice and simple to focus on the image and just added a little bling :)

Here it is, let me know what you think :)



The image is Little Lavinia from Simply Betty Stamps.  the backing papers are freebies from Bearly Mine Designs

A Third Steampunk Limited Edition

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well and happy :)  Thank you to those who left kind comments on my previous posts :)

Here is my third project using Simply Betty's Limited Edition Steampunk Digi's.  This image is called Twins and I love this image, but I think my card is a touch TOO green!  I have printed this digi 9 x 13 cm as the card is 8 x 8" and this size gives a nice clear image that's easy to colour and the proportions fit well with the size of the card leaving room for embellishments.

Here it is, let me know what you think :)



The main image is from Simply Betty Stamps.  The backing papers are from Crafty Chaos Designs.  All the other embellishments are from my stash.

Another Steampunk Limited Edition

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well and have had a good weekend :)  Thank you so much for your kind comments on my previous posts :)

Here is my second project using one of the four Limited Edition Steampunk Digi Stamps from Simply Betty Stamps.  I decided to make a book mark/tag with this lovely image.  I have printed her 6.5 x 5.5 cm for this project, but I can't wait to print her bigger in the future :)

Here she is


This image is called Lavinia Portrait (SBS).  I have coloured her with Pro Markers and backed her onto a Spellbinders die cut, added a bow and a tassel and there you have it...... easy :)

I would like to enter this bookmark into the following challenge(s)

Limited Edition Steampunks

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well and thank you so much for all your kind comments on my previous posts :)

For my card to day I have used one of the limited edition digi Steampunks from Simply Betty's , who are running a challenge and the prize is all four of these gorgeous Digi's in Rubber!!! and all you have to do is print your digi in a size you think is best for the stamp and then give the reasons behind your thinking
.
Because most of my cards are 8 x 8" I have printed my digi 9 x 13 cm, this size gives a nice clear image which is in proportion with the size of the card.

Here it is


Here is a close up of Little Witch


The main image is called Little Witch, from Simply Betty Stamps, yes I have made a Yuletide card using a witch LOL.  The backing paper is from Crafty Chaos Designs, all the other embellishments are from my stash.

Still in Halloween Mode

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well :) I would like to thank all of you who left kind and encouraging comments on my previous posts throughout the 31 Days of Halloween :)

My brain is still in Halloween mode, I'm not ready to put all of my Halloween stamps away just yet! Speaking of which, I have used one of the Simply Betty Halloween Steampunk stamps for my project today.

Here it is


EDIT I have added a clearer photo (above)

I have used Simply Betty's Bella, who is actually a vampire, but I think she makes a great ghost. I have coloured her using pro markers and sakura glitter pens.  I also coloured lightning on the  background image, which is from the net, with glitter pens.  I have backed this onto silver mirri board.

I would like to enter this picture into the following Challeges


That's all from me for now.

Thanks for stopping by

Take care
