Button it for Christmas- Part 1

This challenge was from last friday on the Just Bex forum- Simple one this week - all cards must include BUTTONS. Any buttons, whether normal or novelty. Each card is made using a Penny Black stamped image. I had quite a few left over from last year, so thought I'd put them to good use.


This one was made using the DCWV Christmas stack. Some ribbon and a gorgeous little Doodlebug button.





This one is Doodlebug papers and again another DB button with some grosgrain ribbon.













I used the DCWV stack again for this one. The image is coloured with Sakura stardust pens. Finished with some dark green satin ribbon and a green button.

Challenge cards

These two cards were made as part of a Challenge Swap on Cardmaking Friends forum. Basically you make a card up, send your partner the same materials and see what they come up with and vice versa.

This is the card I made using my gorgeous Woodware 'Girlie fun' stamps, coloured with Sakura pens. I made the card using some pink Bazzill from the Doodlebug colour range. I cut a few circles from a darker pink and edged with black ink. I added handles to the circles to make them look like spacehoppers and finished with some gems. I then cut and layered my girl image.

The materials for this card were sent from my partner on the forum. I was stunned when I saw the papers and images and it took me a while to come up with something. With the deadline looming I forced myself to make a card lol. I believe the papers and images are from one of the Joanna Sheen Christmas CD's.

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.

More LO's

Here are the ones I made yesterday, again I made a few more, but if I showed them all you'd get bored lol!!!

Another LO of my precious daughter. Again these pages are for my holiday scrapbook.

The paper used for this one is Rob and Bob. The chipboard frame and ribbon slide are Dovecraft. Then I thought I'd try something different and tied 3 different ribbons around a section of the main ribbon. The results are quite pretty!

These monkeys were soooooo gorgeous but had the sharpest teeth you could imagine lol!!!

Very basic page, See-D stamps were used for the title and brown Sakura pen for the doodling.

A few from tonight

Ok so I've not done any crafting for the past few days, hence the lack of entries... but I am back, here are two of the 4 LOs I've made this evening...

I adore this picture of my daughter lol... so I used some bubblegum Bazzill for the strip down the middle. Some more paler pink Bazzill to mount the photo on and then the lettering 'On the run' using my Urban Lily stickers. I then had a try at some doodling using my Sakura souffle pens... I'm rather pleased with the results!

I used some blue Bazzill for the strip down the LHS on this LO. The 'Smile' stamp is from my Doodlebug clear stamp set. The gorgeous 2-tone flowers are from bumper packs at Craftsulove, then finished with sticky gems.
