Beary Anniversary

Oooh there's a wee nip in the air this evening, Autumn is definitely just round the corner.  Lots of leaves down too already.  I'm not complaining though, I love to get my cosy sweaters and boots out, and we did have a great summer (for a change!)

I'm not sure if this card works or not, think it might be the brown DP strip that's throwing me but I really don't know.

Sky gazing

I love this little dude from Penny Black ... not sure though if he's just totally chilled out, or collapsed with exhaustion!

Really simple wee card ... sky chalked; glitter added to bee's wings; couple of clouds popped up for dimension and some flower soft grass for a bit of texture.
My happy sun is Sm. Sunnie from High Hopes

Birthday Pinkness :)

I didn't get as many cards made on my week off as I'd hoped so the more CAS the better!

My image is from Lili of the Valley - coloured with pencils and lots of glitter added to her headband, ribbon and shoes - what wee girl wouldn't love a pair of pink sparkly shoes!!

I love this sketch from MFT Wednesday Sketch Club MFTWSC139 and will definitely be using it again!

Cards for Josh and Aunt Lucy

I've had a lovely week off so far, can't believe its Wednesday evening already!  My nephew (age 9) came up for a visit and made this card for his friend - he'd a tough time narrowing down his favourite images from my High Hopes stash, but decided on this as the robot looked like his friend.  Hahaha.

The only thing I helped with was sticking down the DP and the googly eyes, everything else he chose and designed himself.  Didn't he do a great job!!

I'd like to enter Ryan's card into the Simon Says Kids Summer Vacation challenge

High Hopes Challenge #184

Our new challenge at High Hopes is
Pearls or Gems

I rarely make a card that doesn't have some bling on it, so this was a super easy one for me!!  Play along with your High Hopes stamps to win a new one of your choice :)

My image is Batty Boo - coloured with copics and some googly eyes added to the 'O's.  I've added a bit of dimension to my bat by decoupaging him and adding some dimensionals to his wings and sticking his body flat to the base.

Other Challenges:
Oldie but a Goodie - embossing
A gem of a challenge #94 - beginning with B (Bat and Boo)
The Squirrel and the Fox #51 - spring or autumn

Baby Isaac

I've a couple of special request cards to get made this week, so this is the first.  Couldn't get a decent pic though, my blue base isn't quite as dark as it looks here.

Wild Rose Studio image - coloured with pencils and promarkers, and glitter added to the 'lace' on the pram.

Drinkies and cupcakes

Just a quickie post ... I've the drinkies chillin in the fridge and I can hear them calling :)
I've a week off work now yippee, and my card stash is so low, so I'm hoping Mr Mojo co-operates.

My not-buying-crafty-stash resolution crashed to the floor with the purchase of several new DP pads ... but at least I didn't succumb to any new stamps LOL

Uptown Girls image coloured with pencils; clear gloss added to the tray, bottle and glasses, and glitter added to the cupcake icing and highlights on the blue dress, so its nice and sparkly.  I also did a wee bit of hand stitching.  CC Designs fence die; Die-namics photo die; corner punch (sorry don't know make).
