Fab n Funky celebrate Halloween

Hello Peeps

Angelique has set the challenge for us this week at

FAB N FUNKY

and has chosen 

HALLOWEEN

Our sponsor for this week is 

BUGABOO STAMPS

who let us have an image to play with

I always have a bit of a problem with Halloween as I make cards and never send them as its not something we really do in England much

so when I saw this

image I knew I had to have it cos it fits with Halloween

but can be for other occasions!

Im thinking of saving for my mum or my sister as we are constantly referred to as the witch of the west and the witches apprentice's by my mean old husband and kids!!!!!

Frame-it--JJ--call-me-a-witch

I coloured image with copics and 

used corner dies with lots of added 

swarovski crystals,

Hope you like

Challenges

Mojo Monday - Sketch

Having one or two problems crafting at the moment - I will admit that my craft table is always a mess and I end up working on a minute space, but even I cant craft too well at the moment!  

Having just returned home from a week away at Peckforton Castle for our Pearl Wedding, I went to work and when I come home this is what greeted me

A big hole in the floor and my craft cupboard

which by the way is huge in pieces

and my stuff all around the living room and hall in every available space

We have had a major leak and of course it had to be in my craft area - so now we have to dry the beams out so having to live like this for a while

but being a true crafter I managed to squeeze a bit of space on the end of the table (well I dumped more stuff on the floor) and put together some DT cards that luckily I had already coloured the images for, cos I cant get to my copics sob!

Have a great week Beccy x

Yellow Brick Road

This cake was made for my DIL's mums birthday and DIL asked me to do her characters for it.

I found these Wizard of Oz characters at The Paper Shelter. Arent they adorable.




I coloured them with copics and then triple embossed each figure after fussy cutting round them and then glued them onto lollypop sticks.

and Judith inspired by the fab rock images has chosen as the theme

or as an added twist 

You can use a rock'n'roll song as inspiration 

- in which case tell us what the song is in your post

So come on - have some fun with this one - we can't wait to see your rock'n'roll cards

The prize is a fabulous 5 digis of your choice from Kenny K downloads - so what are you waiting for!

I did something a bit different this week and instead of a card
I have made this Canvas Clock.

I covered the canvas with Paperartsy paints and then added some glimmer mists. I painted the chipboard letters and clock with the paints too and added Mica powder to some of the letters.

The figures I coloured with copics.

 Im not always pleased with my colouring but this time im really pleased with how they turned out.

Hope this inspires you to maybe try something a bit different

Playin with JOFY

Had a bit of a play today with some of the JOFY stamps that I got at Stamparama - I even had a play with the Paperartsy Paints that I have been collecting but  not really used.

I dont normally do things like this so was quite pleased with how they have turned out!

Slight problem with the first pics though had camera sidewise sforgetting that

got new computer which by the way has windows 8 OMG what is that all about

Gonna take me forever to learn how to use it lol.

Any-ways what I forgot was that I haven't got office installed yet and don't have any editing programmes on it so cant turn piccies round duh!

Oh well you kinda get the idea without having to hurt your neck too much I hope.

This first one is using the paints - I used five colours of the opaque paint for the background on hardboard and then used translucent to colour the flowers with.
I then coloured some hammered card with the same colours and made a little pocket to put it in.

I stamped the flower head out a few times from the coloured card scraps and painted to match the picture I layered the flowers and attached at the opening of the pocket.

Im thinkin the pocket looks a bit bare now though so may have to go back and add some thing!!!

The next two are more in my comfort zone and back to using my copics and distress inks.

 I actually ended up with the wrong JOFY set these flowers were supposed to be owls and birdhouses lol, Leandra was gonna replace for me but I decided that I quite like them so needed to keep them and get the owls next time. (which is not bad cos when I first saw these stamps sets I didnt think I liked them good job its our prerogative to change our minds lol).

You Can Stick It - New Fab n Funky Challenge

Hi Everyone

Ciska has set the challenge for this week over at Fab n Funky

and she has chosen

'You Can Stick It'

or

Use Stickers or Peel Offs on your project
 (anything that sticks on its own really)

This week we have

Bugaboo Stamps

sponsoring us

and I got to play with a real great silhouette image

Silhouette--butterfly-flowers

I used the image with plenty of die cuts - when I started I couldn't find my peel offs anywhere (I cleared up lol) so went with sticking a few self stick pearls around

when I had finished I remembered where I'd put my peel offs

I couldn't find any black ones but did manage to find an image which kind of

fit my theme in silver

I used a sharpie to colour the peel off black and added it to the inside of my card.

Hope you like what ive done sorry photos not great I was getting way too much bounce back!.

Wedding Stationery

Finally got round to taking some photos of the Wedding

stationary to share with you.

Numpty that I am I never thought to take any before I gave them to be sent out so had

to wait till after the wedding and pinch the the table menu and my place name lol.

And the invite is the one sent to me!!!!!!

Oh yeah forgot to say I am known as his other mum  (always knew when he was in trouble at his house because he would end up at mine like a bad penny),

I had major problems matching the colour scheme that the bride wanted and wasnt able to get any teal paper for backing paper anywhere so ended up using embossing powder.

Each segment of the invite and RSVP has backing paper so there was lots of embossing to do.

The rest of the stationery kept to the same theme

I used a sissix folder for the pattern and added pearl drops to each pattern centre. (And of course as soon as I finished doing the embossing through my cuttlebug (good arm excercise) I got an ebosser how much easier would that have been lol.)

Will have to wait for the thank you cards till the happy couple get back from honeymoon and send some out.
