Y for Yellow

The new challenge on Alphabet Challenge Blog is Y for Yellow, with yellow being the main colour of the work.  For my DT card I used a Sugar Nellie Maggie stamp, coloured in with Copics, and the bp is I think DCWV.  I think it is quite a cheery little card!

The Past

The new theme on InchybyInch is The Past.  I found a little image in my HOTP book of an old advert so have used that!

In Love

This is an atc I made using stamps from the Fall For You set by Unity, available from Emily here.   I inked the background with Bundled Sage and Rusty Hinge Distress Inks, and stamped some of the images from the set, colouring in with Promarkers. 

X for Xmas

Completely forgot to post this yesterday!  Good job I remembered to post it on the challenge blog!   The new theme on the Alphabet Challenge blog is X for Xmas, and for my DT card I used one of my favourite House Mouse stamps, coloured in with Promarkers, and the bp is by DCWV.

Devotion

Our word for this week by Fiona on InchybyInch is Devotion.  I have used another HOTP image for my inchie - not sure what I will be using when I have used these all up lol!

Motor Madness

The new theme on My Time To Craft is Motor Madness.  For my DT card I inked the background of the card with Distress Inks and stamped various stamps over it.  I matted the car image and greeting, doodled round the edges and edged the whole card with Copper Krylon, embellishing with metallic nailheads.

Autumn

I love autumn colours, and I have made an atc using the lovely Harvest of Memories and Moments in Bloom stamps by Unity, available here.  I inked the background of the atc with Wild Honey Distress Ink and stamped a background stamp, then stamped and cut out 2 leaves, coloured them with Adirondack inks and Glossy Accents and attached to the atc together with one of the sentiments from the Harvest of Memories sets.  
I am entering this for the Autumn challenge on Tuesday Taggers.

For my DT work I made a 6" x 6" scrapbook layout using a photo of my granddaughter taken when she was just born! 

W is for Wings

 

We are up to W this week on the Alphabet Challenge Blog, and the theme is Wings.   I made an atc for my DT work, using Wild Honey Distress Ink for the background and stamps from Artistic Outpost.  Embellishments are a Tim Holtz doodad and metallic nailheads.

Separation

The theme on InchybyInch this week is Separation.  Fiona gives us a word to use each week, and my goodness was this a hard one, especially to fit on an inchie!  The inchie I have made is of a couple parting - one of whom is getting on a train!  It is part of a HOTP image, I am pleased I am getting a chance to use these as I have had them for some years now!

Looks Like Autumn

The new theme on My Time To Craft this week is Looks Like Autumn.  I made my DT card using Adirondack inks to colour the background, and to stamp various leaf stamps on.  I clear embossed them and stamped and mounted a Personal Impressions leaf stamp, again colouring in with Adirondack inks and clear embossing.

Catching Up!

I was a few weeks behind on the InchybyInchy challenges where Fiona is giving us a word each week to use to make our inchies.  So I have now caught up with the 3 weeks and here they are, touch, dainty and wave.  I used HOTP images that I have had for years so am pleased to have finally found a use for them!

V is for Vintage

We are nearing the end of our third time through the alphabet on Alphabet Challenge Blog.  This week the theme is V for Vintage.   For my DT card I stamped a script stamp for the background and coloured in a rose image to put over the top.  The background paper is mulberry paper torn round the edges and added to gold card.  I stamped the word Love and added various embellishments to finish.

CYDA Challenge #4 - Autumn Doodles

The new challenge on Craft Your Days Away is Autumn Doodles.  The challenge, which runs for a fortnight, is sponsored by Whimsy Stamps and the lucky winner will receive 5 digi downloads, so pop over to the blog and have a go!

For my DT work I made a tag using the lovely Harvest of Memories set by Unity, available here.   I inked the background with Rusty Hinge Distress Ink and stamped some of the leaves on the background, which don't show up too well on here!  I used a couple of the main stamps and doodle stitched around the edges, punched some leaves and finished with some metallic nailheads.

U for Unused Stash

The new theme on Alphabet Challenge Blog is U for Unused Stash.  For my DT card I used a Penny Black stamp that I bought ages ago and forgot about!  I'm not sure what the bp's are, maybe HOTP, but I have certainly had them a long time too!

Harvest of Memories

I have made a tag using stamps from the wonderful new set from Unity, Harvest of Memories (August 2010) available from Emily here.   I inked a tag with Wild Honey DI and stamped some of the leaves onto it, stamped one of the sentiments and added some leaf brads and copper nail heads, finally edging the tag with copper Krylon pen.

T is for Trees

The new theme on the Alphabet Challenge Blog is T for Trees.  For  my DT card, I used a Kanban stamp and freebie bps for the background.  I punched some flowers and used a Card Candy greeting and metallic nailheads to finish.

Jewelled and a DT Call

The new challenge on My Time To Craft, which will run for a fortnight this time, is Jewelled.  There is also a DT call for 2 new DT members to pop over to the blog and take a look.  For my DT card I used a Penny Black Stickeroo to make my card, and made the background with my swirly Cuttlebug embossing folder and punched some flowers and added jewels to the centres and round the image and sentiment.

The theme on Craft Your Days Away this time is Girly 'n' Glitter.  There is a prize to be won of a $10 spend in Simon Says Stamp store with p & p paid for, so pop over to the blog to enter!

For my DT card I used a sweet set of stamps from My Cute Stamp, available here, called Tea Party.  I stamped several of the images and coloured them with Copics, and added SU Diamond Dust for some sparkle.  The bp is by Daisy and Dandelion, and I kept the embellishments fairly simple with Primas and Card Candy.

We are up to S on the Alphabet Challenge blog, and the theme this week is Scallops.  I made my DT card using a Penny Black image coloured in with Copics with some sparkle added!
