Make A Scene!

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Being a new month we have a new hostess for the challenges which is Lynda Benden. 

Lynda has challenged us to Make a scene. Include some sort of scene as your focal point…..i.e. rolling hills with a tree and sun, a barn with trees and a fence, etc…. Multiple images can be used to make the scene!

I had such fun with this challenge that I decided to create two cards, mainly because I couldn’t decide which of the two images to use and as I had stamped, colored and cut out both images I made the two cards. Both are fairly similar but I have varied them a little bit so they aren’t exactly the same.



Both the images used on these cards are from Ladybug Crafts Ink, they both remind me of my Grandson . All the background elements used on both cards are using Die-namics dies from MFT Stamps.

Hi everyone,
It’s time for another challenge with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Can you believe we are already up to challenge #100, where does the time go! It only seems like yesterday that we started the C4C challenge blog and it is almost 2 years ago.
Our challenge this week is Monochromatic Coloring. This technique is becoming more and more popular when coloring an image, using just the one color family (normally greys) Of course monochromatic doesn't have to be greys, you can use any color you like as long as that is the only color you use for your image. Check out Created by Katie Cotton's blog if you need more help on how to create this look.
For my card I decided to use another of the cute little Jack stamps from Ladybug Crafts Ink, I am loving these stamps. I went with sepia colors using all the colors in the E50’s. I used a recent sketch from SCS for the layout of my card (SC343).

Both sentiments (on the front & inside) were created using my computer as I wanted something to go with the image I was using.

Hide and Seek!

Hi everyone,

My card today uses a stamp from a new (to me) stamp company, that I discovered while blog surfing recently. Since having a grandson just over a year ago, I am on the look out for fun boy stamps that I can use to make cards for either him or for his Mum to use for family and friends.

This stamp is from a company called Ladybug Crafts Ink, and I couldn’t resist purchasing a few stamps in their Jack line, they are just so adorable. This one is called Hide and Seek Jack, now how could I not buy this one, it has a little boy and an owl!!!!!! You may also notice over the next few weeks that I have started coloring the hair of little boys I use on cards red, this is because my grandson has red hair!
