Natalie & Amy's 'All About Love' Challenge

Good morning all.

Wow it is so so cold here, we had snow but it didn't settle as we had had rain through the night but I know a lot of you have it far far worse weather so stay warm and safe.

Anyhow onto the matter in hand, this month at Natalie & Amy's Challenge it is 'All About Love' so could be valentines, wedding, anniversary etc.

For my card today I used this adorable panda from Crafter's Companion called 'Party Paws - Love From Bamboo', the sentiment came from the same set. I decided on a scalloped 6" square card for this image and kept the papers to a minimum (really I was using my scraps lol). I coloured my image with a bit of a scruffy style to give him a ragged look and then added glossy accents to the heart and it really does shine but I cannot get it to show up on the photo's. All supplies are listed below with those in RED available in Natalie & Amy's Store HERE.

My Time To Craft 'Love Is All Around' Challenge

Good morning all, I am seriously hoping Mr blogger is playing ball today as I am on holiday and hopefully relaxing not having to chase Mr Blogger.

My husband and I have been married for over 20 years and been together for 24 but this is our first EVER holiday alone!! We are a Brady bunch family with both of us having children before we met, I had a daughter and he had two son's which we brought up and then we had another son between us so we have always had children in tow. They finally all left home lol but even then we were stuck for someone to look after the two dogs as we won't put them in kennel's. However our youngest son is having some relationship problems and has come to stay at mum and dad's hotel so we thought we would take the plunge and make the most of our dog sitter lol. Wish me luck, it could be along week!!!

Anyhow, that is not what you came here for so onto the matter in hand. This week at My Time To Craft we are 'All About The Love' wedding, anniversary, valentines whichever kind of love you like.

I created this card which I initially thought of as a wedding card but I noticed (after I stuck it down) that the paper at the bottom says 'I love you' so will probably add an anniversary sentiment to it instead. It is still all about the love so it all good. Just for a change I used all die cuts on this card and nothing Silhouette related, now that is a shock for you! The image came from one of those art books I brought probably 2 years ago and always forget about. It is a Lili Of The Valley image called 'I Do'.

Supplies:-

6" Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's

Card Stock - Bazzill

Designer Papers - First Edition 'J'Adore'

Image - Lili Of The Valley 'I Do'

Medium - Promarkers & Flexmarkers

Dies - Spellbinders Classic Circles, Cheery Lynn Waltzing Matilda, Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish & Crafty Sentiments Fancy Hearts

Promarkers & Flexmarkers Used:-

Skin - E21, E51, E50 & E00

Hair Female - Raw Sienna, Mustard & Buttercup

Hair Male - Walnut, Cocoa & Nutmeg

Clothes Female - Champagne & Linen

Clothes Male - Ice Grey 1, 2, 3 & 4

Hearts & Flowers - Firebrick & Burnt Umber

So that is all from me and I will catch up with you next week.

Did you notice I actually did some colouring well that was done whilst I was in hospital having my nerve and muscle tests done and so that they could see the problem with my hands. The nerve test wasn't too bad a little strange to see parts of my body moving whilst I cannot feel it at all but the muscle test was a killer, so so painful and even today my legs are still going into cramps and feel like lead weights.

I must dash off as off to have some more bloods done today and then MRI scans tomorrow and that hopefully will be it for a while or at least until I get all the results.

See you all tomorrow.

Natalie & Amy's 'Love Is All Around' Challenge

Good morning all, I hope today finds you well and you are all keeping warm. I also hope Mr Blogger has played nicely and posted this for me while I am away visiting my daughter and getting lots of Mia cuddles, I cannot believe she is 2 months old already.

Anyhow today see's a new challenge at Natalie & Amy's which is 'Love Is All Around' and you must use at least one heart on your creation. I thought I would have a go and see how I got on with colouring an image for this challenge but it was not the best idea, I am still finding it hard to hold the pens for any time and got quite frustrated with it. I will be seeing a new Neurology consultant on Saturday and hope he can shed some light on the matter.

So for my card I used a stamp I have had for a while from DoCrafts Me To You range called 'Loving Company', coloured with Promarkers & Flexmarkers and paired this with First Editions J'Adore patterned papers. I used a Kaisercraft stamp set called Just Believe for the calendar sentiment and coloured in the date with a Promarker. I added this really pretty hanging hearts style border which I cut on my Silhouette Cameo but it doesn't show up too well as I should have chose a solid coloured paper for it, I didn't have time to change it. Then just a couple of gems to finish it off. All supplies used are linked below to the Natalie & Amy Craft Shop.
