Paisley Crazy

Here is October Challenge 1 from the Just Bex forum... So, basically the challenge is to use something Paisley on your card, whether is a patterned paper, a die cut, ribbon, Paisley embossing, whatever you want. Its taken me an age just to take part in the challenges this month, so am quite pleased now.

Everything from the papers to the ribbon to the haunted house is Doodlebug Hallowe'en lol... so no big list of materials this time!!!

Woohoooo... Invites done!!!

Well I made myself do the Hallowe'en Party invites this evening. I must admit I didn't enjoy colouring in loads of the same image the other night, but tonight with the layering it was OK lol! Just pleased these ones are done... now all I have to do for Hallowe'en is the Happy Hallowe'en cards!!

So here's a picture of the finished products... as always the papers are Doodlebug, the card is Bazzill. The images are my ghost Whipper Snapper stamp. I coloured each image with my Sakura pens. The striped ribbons are Doodlebug and the rest are from various craft shops... finished with a 'Tangerine' Doodlebug gem.

Been busy

Hello everyone... been a bit busy the last few days... hubby is making me do all the Hallowe'en party prep, lists etc.
He has told me I need to get the invites made by next week (shock, horror lol) as people need notice to organise a costume. Hubbys costume is hilarious...

I am in the middle of making my Hallowe'en Doodlebug house atm... all I can say is wow!! They are so much fun, the windows are a bit fiddly, but its worth it! Hopefully I can have it finished tonight and blogged tomorrow!

Not sure if I'll be around much this weekend as I am on 'toddler duty'. Hubby has his first rugby game of the season tomorrow, so won't be seeing an awful lot of him... although it gives me a bit of time for crafting tomorrow night lol!!

Anyway catch you all later!!!

Hallowe'en Cards

OK, so my mojo is working overtime right now... here are a few more Hallowe'en cards... both using the Whipper Snapper stamps... and of course Doodlebug papers and ribbons lol!!!

Tantalising Tangerine

Just Bex Challenge- Now Orange is not a colour I tend to craft with, but rename it Tantalising Tangerine and it takes on a whole new persona. Your challenge is to create a card using an Orange colour scheme and 1 point will be awarded for completion of this challenge.

I really enjoyed this challenge as my new Whipper Snapper stamps arrived from the States this morning. So I thought I'd make a lovely Hallowe'en card!!

I coloured the image with my Sakura pens and edged with black ink. The card is covered with some scrummy orange Bazzill and Doodlebug striped paper. The ribbon is also Doodlebug.

To finish the card, I added 2 purple gems and edged the whole card with black ink.

Stash!!!

Woohooooo, I finally got my stash parcel today... I have been waiting patiently, wondering if it would make it through the strikes lol!! No pics tonight I'm afraid, but I will tell you what I got...

Love Elsie chipboard buttons- Riley and Betty
Love Elsie gel stickers!

Then I went to the Papermill to get some DST, naturally ended up getting a few more things...

So after a nice little spend up, I came back and have made 3 LO's and a card!! I will pop them on tomorrow as lighting isn't the best at this time of night.

Oooooh Hallowe'en

I'm so excited, we've never celebrated Hallowe'en before but it seems quite a big deal where we live atm... so we're having a Hallowe'en party. YIPPEEEEEEEE!!!
