Guest DT at Deep Ocean Challenges

I was so excited when I was asked to be a Guest DT over at Deep Ocean Challenges this week. The theme is “Sporty and Outdoors”. I chose to use ice skating Tilda as she reminds me of all the years my daughter did figure skating. Unfortunately here in Australia we don't really have outdoor rinks but she has been lucky enough to skate outdoors in Paris and London so she can't really complain.

I learnt to ice skate outdoors up in the Swiss Alps where we lived when I was 5 - it's a memory I hold dear. I think the Make it Crafty ice skating lake and snowflake chipboard frame I used are a perfect link to those memories and tie everything together.

Check out what the rest of the DT have come up with and join in the fun - you have 2 weeks for this one.

Copics Used - Skin (E21, E11, E00, R20, R11) plus B21, B000, B0000, YG63, YG61, YG0000, C4, C3, C1, C0, C00, E29, E18, E17, E15, E13, RV55, RV52

It's a Western Challenge at Sparkle Creations

This week there's a new challenge starting over at Sparkle's Creations - it's a Western theme and I just couldn't go past colouring up Cowboy Josh. I decided to have a bit of fun with him and blobbed on some dark grey to give him cow hide chaps - the perfect job for someone of my limited drawing skills - LOL.

The saloon doors were cut with my Cameo - a fun backdrop for this little cutie - although I'm sure he's only ever ventured into the Saloon for some milk and cookies!

Don't forget to check out the rest of the gorgeous DT inspiration at the SCRSC Blog.

Copics Used - Skin (E21, E11, E000, R20, R11) plus C10, C2, C0, E57, E55, E53, E51, E19, E18, E13, R39, R29, R24, Y19, Y13, B97, B95, B91

Sunshine with Sparkle Creations

This week we're starting a new challenge at Sparkle Creations with a bright and cheery theme - "You are my Sunshine". I chose to use Shopping Emily for my card and paired her with a sentiment and sun stamp from The Craft's Meow. I love to go crafty shopping with my friends - it always add a sunny smile to my day!

Sparkle Creations Preview Blog Hop - Soccer Josh

Apologies to those that hopped along yesterday - I had a bit of a mix-up with my time conversions - my Videogame Oliver preview card is in the post below this one....

This is the second image from Sparkle Creations that I have the honour of previewing during my GDT time here this month - this is Soccer Josh. My son is a keen soccer player so I was rapt to have an image to play with that he would like. I cut the net out using my Cameo and used my son's soccer colours as a base.

Be sure to visit all rest of the SCRS designers for more peeks of Soccer Josh. Sparkle will be giving away Soccer Josh to one lucky person! For a chance to win, you need to comment on all of the designer's blogs (list below). Then head on over to the SCRS blog and comment on the Soccer Josh post.

Sparkle Creations Preview Blog Hop - Videogame Oliver

September is an exciting month - I've been asked to be the GDT for Sparkle Creations and have the  pleasure of joining the DT to showcase this fabulous new image called Videogame Oliver. I was excited to be a part of this release as I have a 14yo son and this guy is perfect for his age group. I popped him on a card I cut out using my Cameo - the file is from Silhouette and easily converted into a card. I used some Kaiser twinklets for the control buttons - just colouring them appropriately with my copics!
