Quixotic, Club Anya Saturday Sketch,

Hello, hope you're having a fun week so far!

 I simply had to open up the awesome The Greeting Farm - Stamp Kit- Creeper Crew - Creepin' which happens to be on SPECIAL PRICE TIL 31st MAR!!!  

I've coloured Leslie with copics to co'ordinate with the new Fancy Pants - 6x6 Pad - It's The Little Things.
My card also includes some of the yummy Divine Twine - Cotton Candy x 10 metres.

I followed the wonderful sketch over at Club Anya & Friends... The very last Saturday Sketch too Boo Hoo, I LOVED being part of the Anya crew so long ago it seems, with Marie's unending talent to design stunning characters for us to enjoy, to see it grow and the new designers displaying their amazing talent WOW!!! But I'm sure the new Chapter on April 1st will bring fun and excitement!!!

My little one will be three this weekend and as she picked Leslie and ooohed at the black polka dot papers, she's definitely following in the creative gene LOL!!!

That's it from me today, have a lovely creative day!

Quixotic Inspirations

Hello! wanted to stop by with a fun card I made using lots of goodies found in Quixotic Paperie

I followed Jen's fabby sketch over at Club Anya Saturday Sketch. I couldn't wait to use the adorable The Greeting Farm - Cheeky Chat She went so well with the yummy Basic Grey - Hopscotch - 6x6 Paper Pad Also used a little of the Bazzill Basics - Smoothies - Kraft Cardstock too.

You might just see that I have used the WRMK - Sew-Easy Stitch Piercer Tool + Straight Head and WRMK - Sew-Easy Piercing Mat this time I used it with WRMK - Sew-Easy Floss - Yellow, a little hand stitching finishes off the card so nicely... which Fits in very well to the FFF Challenge.

That's it from me today, hope it inspires... 

have a wonderfully creative day!

I turned Pam's sketch on it's side to fit the cute chappy my Guy Ian, I've coloured him with copic markers (what else) which I have matched with the patterned paper.

Club Anya & friends ~ Saturday Sketch Challenge #27

Pop over to Club Anya & Friend's as it's time for another wonderful saturday sketch from the talented Pam...

  

I pretty much followed the sketch as it is! Creeper Wednesday is sporting a pink stripe in her hair today, in fact the whole card is pretty pink & girlie, LOL! I wanted to direct your attention to the washi tape ribbon, I have adhered two colours back to back, so now it's double sided and so very soft too! I stamped the sentiment in distress ink... it's probably the only time I wanted the ink to puddle on the stamp... so the image looked closer to crayon then pen LOL! The gem button is an authentic vintage button and I nearly ruined my Tim Holtz scissors trying to cut the loop off the back of it! phew!!!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: My minds eye: quite contrary;

Stamps: The Greeting Farm: Creeper Wednesday; Inkadinkadoo:

Ink: Memento: black; Copic: markers*;

CA&F ~ Saturday Sketch with the Beatles

This is my second post today so please scroll down for my Basic Grey challenges card

Over at Club Anya & Friends it's Saturday sketch time!

Pam has designed a wonderful sketch for us this week, Although my easel card is very dimensional you should be able to make out the sketch in the back panel.

So I had started these figures when it was Rockin rebel time but never got the chance to finish them and as Father's day is just round the corner I thought it would fit in nicely! I have altered Ian from the New parents stamps set, inspired by awesome duos fabulous hair... although his is a scale smaller. Then combined with rockin Anya and her guitar and Ringo had to have a drum set of course! I even managed to give Paul his left handed guitar too!

To keep the two figures in front of the easel I have made two acetate cubes that flatten to get the card into an envelope. They need a little fixing but it generally works!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: DCWV: rockstar stack; acetate;

Stamps: The Greeting Farm: new parents; rockin Anya; awesome duo; Anya says; drummerboy;

Ink: Memento & printer: black; Copic: markers*; 

Dies: Spellbinders nestabilities: circles; Quickutz: tattoo;

Second day of Club Anya & Friends Previews!!!

Good Morning, this is the second day of previews at Club Anya & Friend's and also Saturday Sketch time! Now, this is my second post already this morning so if you would love to... you can scroll down for the new BG challenge and my basic grey sample...

Well, I've place my pocket card beside Pam's fabulous sketch so you could see the similarity to the original LOL! See? I have only split the top rectangle into two. I was going to use the same patterned paper but it was a little OTT!

Am I allowed to totally love this card? tee hee... Amelia is such a little doll! so adorable and I LOVE her fab hair - couldn't you imagine her pig tails bouncing past, ha ha ha? She's available with Oliver and sentiments too... at The Greeting Farm on the 1st. You may have spotted my Tim flower again, seriously the die just keeps falling into my hands! To get the really soft scruffy petals I ran it through my crimper in different directions then pressed into mouse mat with the end of a pokey tool thingy.

It's soo subtle... you might just see... in the top picture that I have stamped Amelia with distress ink on the insert of my card, to create a shadow image, should be able to write over it. And her stars have all be embellished with a generous amount of glitter!!!

So for my card I have used the adorable 'Paul' sprout from Roll Call set, plus the fun sentiment too!  Quite a few of Dillon's friends are celebrating their birthdays and these sprouts are just perfect! I have followed Pam's fabulous sketch pretty much straight forward for me anyway.
