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 :)

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

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

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

Crafting When We Can - Female Birthday

Cutie Sunday - Birthday

Gingerloft Challenges - Lace, Fabric or Felt

Stampavie and More - Anything but Square

Take care
