Happy Ewe

Hello Everyone. A birthday card to fill out my stock a little. I looked at what I have and I am low on most types of cards. I did make this card though

I decided to keep the image a little simple and only coloured the hat and balloons. The papers are actually a kitchen inspired set but I liked how these papers looked together so I went with them. Everything is matted with a custard yellow light card stock. And I was inspired by sketch #487 from Tuesday Morning Sketches

This card was also inspired by Cute Card Thursdays Challenge - Critters

Since I like sheep I decided to make a card with a cute Bugaboo Image - Circle Sentiments - Birthday Ewe. I am a part of a spinning group and I think that this card will suit someone from there quite nicely.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card project. As always before you go I would like to leave you with this thought

I like to learn new things. I sometimes try to learn a new technique or sometimes I try to make something without a pattern just to see if I can. I am actually doing this at the moment - I am trying to crochet a bag that I want because I can not find a pattern for it! Will have to see how it goes.

Have a Happy Crafty Kind of Day,

Instead of Tweeting

Hi Everyone. I had the chance to make and upload another card today. And this card was in the works for the Bugaboo Birthday Celebrations but I missed the deadline. But I wasn't going to waste the image that I had coloured up.

And this time around - now don't fall off your chair - I didn't use a sketch this time around 😱 Yeah I know very unusual for me! But I am really happy with the results even without that starting point. The card was inspired by a challenge though 

I went from the top left in a diagonal route so I went with - Tab, Players Choice, Dots and Stripes. The paper pad helped with the Dots and Stripes it is from My Minds Eye Life of the Party. This is another from the bottom of my paper stash - so good to be using these pads up. The image is Bird Greetings - Sweet Birdday from Bugaboo and it's still available. The sentiment tags I made myself on my computer.

Thanks for stopping in and looking at my card project. Before you go I would like to leave you with this thought

If you have a friend or family member you haven't touched base with lately why not? We never know what is waiting for us even in the next hour so do it!

Have a Happy Crafty Kind of Day,

A Rose for You

Hello Everyone, I am bringing this card to you today via my favourite starting place a sketch. I was having not the best of days but felt up to going into my craft space. So to help with my creating today I started somewhere familiar even though it was a new to me sketch. And this is the result of starting somewhere familiar

and this is the sketch that started off my crafting today

I can see that I may end up using this sketch again. It was fun trying to put 4 different papers together and it could be used with many different images. The paper pad that I used is Kasiercraft's Misty Mountains I just love the mix of colours in this set. The image that I used is an older one by Bugaboo Word Art Rose.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my project today. Before you go I would like to leave you with this thought

Today I have felt like that I haven't been achieving much but then I remembered this turtle. And it helped me to keep crafting because I was doing stuff even though it was slower than I would like.

Have a Happy Crafty Kind of Day,

It is your day

Hello Everyone, Another card made for the Bugaboo Birthday Celebrations. This is for Day 2 - a Sketch Challenge. If you have been to my blog before you will know that I love using sketches for my card making. This is the sketch that everyone is getting to play with ...

As I like to do I have included the measurements for those who may be interested. And this is the card that I made following this sketch.

I have used an older digi image from Bugaboo but it is still a favourite of mine. The sentiment is my own that I did up in the computer before I printed off the image. These papers are ones that have been sitting in my stash for ages.but I liked the circle elements because I thought it suited the basketball theme.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my project. Before you go I would like to leave you with this thought.

The first part of this quote I know; the second part I sometimes forget. When I forget I try to do things under my own steam and things don't go right. I want to be more willing to give my whole life over to Christ. 

Have a Happy Crafty kind of day,

Monster Sized Mess

Hello Everyone, I am back from our break away and in my craft space 😃 So I decided to work on the projects for the Bugaboo Birthday Celebrations because I didn't have supplies with me that I could work on them. So this card is suited to Day 1 which is

I don't actually have any of their monster images even though they are really cute. I also don't have anyone who would be suited  to these images so I used a favourite Bugaboo image of mine. It is Scene it - Birthday Bears and it is still available. And this is the card that I made

I think that this image still fits the theme because these cute bears have definitely made a monster sized mess. Though I think that they have a lot of fun in creating it.😉 And of course you know that this card was helped along by a sketch - this time around I have made another card for the Stella Says Sketch challenge which is this one

You can see that this time I have tipped the sketch on its side. I had such fun making this card and I want to thank you for stopping by. Before you go I would like to leave you with this thought

This is something that I am going to try to do more of this year. I want to be able to walk through what is ahead knowing that God walks with me.

Have a Happy Crafty Kind of Day,

Catch the Bug Monster Birthday Day 1 

Get Well Wishes

Hello Everyone,
Another card made while I am away on holidays with my family. I always travel with my craft supplies - actually it's the first thing that I pack👍 But now we can travel with my laptop and internet so that I can continue to craft which is what I love doing. As I am typing this we are all doing our own things - reading, playing games and colouring.

But anyway onto the reason I am sure that you stopped by my blog today - to see my project

This is a digi image from Bugaboo Stamps called Kidz Rose Boy. Using him this time around I decided to make a get well card because who wouldn't want to find this cutie on their doorstep if they were feeling a little under the weather. I coloured him in with my Copic markers and the grass as well. But after I had finished with them I used my Polychromos pencils to add more depth and the very light fluffy clouds in the background.

But as you may know about me I love starting with a sketch and this card is no different. This time I around I used the latest sketch from Sketch Saturday

I had some fun with the holographic stickers that I bought on camp with me and added some instead of the button detail. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my project. Before you go I would like to leave you with this final thought



Where our travels have taken us this time around. A beautiful place to visit, I love coming here. I like going to places where I have been before but exploring different and new areas. The weather has been kind to us.

Have a Happy Crafty Kind of Day,
