My Time To Craft 'Inspired By A Song Or Film' Challenge

Good morning all. I hope you all have some amazing crafty plans for the weekend, if not why not.

This week at My Time To Craft we are challenged to make something whereby we are 'Inspired By A Song Or Film' and boy is this a challenge for me. I am not into music at all so I can't look at my images and see a relation to a song. So how did I get around this, I pulled out a few images that I thought would work for the card I was making and got my hubby who is really into music to come up with the song!

So for my card I am using Kenny K's Frieda Flapper, can you guess the song?

Moving Along With The Times 'Sketch' Challenge

Good morning everyone, thanks for stopping by. This is going to be a short post from me as I am struggling at the moment with pain and the increased medication is making me very sleepy and generally urgh.

This week at Moving Along With The Times Shell gave us a lovely easy sketch to work with. As soon as I saw the image's that Meljen Designs our sponsor this week had given us to work with I immediately knew what I would make.

I chose Romance Diva as I am certainly not a skinny woman and have plenty of let's say curves lol so it is the perfect image for me to make my hubby an anniversary card. 

Can you spot the mistake on my card??

Well did you notice the paper across the middle is upside down, now to decide whether to correct it or leave it and see if hubby notices!!

My Time To Craft 'Men Only' Challenge

Oops I am sorry, I have had to up my tablets as my back and legs are not getting any better and have somehow lost the days of the week lol. This post should of been up this morning but it is here now.

Now this week at My Time To Craft the challenge is 'Men Only' but I read this wrong and thought it was for a male and made a card for a boy! I blame the tablets he he.

I made a very clean and simple card using this lovely little Dilbert Dragon from The Crafty Pad. Some time ago I saw a great tutorial on colour animals using dots but when I needed it I couldn't find it, I had a go from what I could remember and I like the result but it would of been better had I followed the tutorial!

Sparkles 'Lace It Up' Challenge

Good morning everyone. I hope all is well with everyone.

I have had the great pleasure of being asked if I would like to join the ladies at Sparkles Monthly Challenge and I had to think for all of two seconds before answering so thank you ladies for having me aboard your team. I can't wait to get to know you all.

So this month the challenge is 'Lace It Up' and our sponsor Floppy Latte Designs are offering a prize of $6 worth of digital images and also gave the design team some to play with. As I joined the team late I used an image I already had from Floppy Latte Designs called Lily Circle.



I cut my image out three times and layered different parts of it up although you can't see it very well in the photo. I coloured it very softly and let the papers pick the colours out. I haven't added a sentiment as yet, it will probably be a mother's day card for one of my step grandchildren to give their mum but I like them to choose which card they want first. 

I used these lovely new papers from Papermania called Spots & Stripes - Pastels and some pretty new lace I got from my local craft shop Let's Create and teamed it with these green gems which have been in my stash forever!

Sorry this photo is rubbish but it is so dark here, I have tried all ways to take it but it just can't pick up the colours.

Supplies:-

6" Card Blank - Boyes

Card Stock - Bazzill

Designer Papers - Papermania 'Spots & Stripes' Pastels

Image - Floppy Latte 'Lily Circle'

Medium - Letraset

Dies - Spellbinders Classic & Scalloped Circles

Lace - Let's Create

Gems - Stash

 Promarkers & Flexmarkers Used:- 
Pinks - Budding Rose, Pink Mittens, Pale Blossom & Muted Pink
Greens - Pear Green, Green & Honeydew
Yellows - Lemon & Soft Lime
