Hello everyone how are you all? This is a sccheduled post, if Mr Blogger is working that is lol.
Well another 2 weeks have gone by so that means its time for a new challenge over at Saturated Canary.............. It also means christmas is getting closerrrrrr woo hoo.
Anyway this fortnight the challenge is..............
SEASON'S GREETINGS
..........so we want to see a creation celebrating a season. Whether it be Thanksgiving or Christmas or............the one I've chose is the obvious current season.......HALLOWEEN yay.
This is my favourite zombie type image............ever!!!!!!! This is 'Zombie Niamh' & of course is a digi image from Saturated Canary.

The lace & jute stuff are from my stash. Also the card blank is from my stash, its not very often I use these tbh.

The sentiment is a digi one & I printed it off & then inked it up & matted it onto black card. The rolled flowers I made with my Marianne die & added pearls to each centre.

The fence & gate & cut out & glued the fences either side & attached the gate at one side & left it open.............hope her animals dont get out ;0)

'Zombie Niamh' was of course coloured with copics, colours listed below.
C5, C3, C1, YG06, YG03, YG00 - Skin
N7, N5, N3, N1 - Hair
C5, C3, C1, YR27, YR24, YR21 - Dress
BV06, BV04, BV02 - Boots
Background I did with different coloured Prisma pencils to make it look scratched. The floor I did with black prisma.

The fabbylicious is Echo Park 'Apothecary Emporium', I love this paper for halloween, its my fave!!!! All the papers have been machine stitched &; inked with Black Soot distress ink.

Well thats it from me.Please pop on over to my teamies to see their super duper creations.

Midweek Magnolia's Challenge - La la la la

Hi my lovelies how are you all? Thank you sooooooooo much for your lovely comments, Natalie is a lot better now, still needing her inhaler but a lot lot less. 

Sorry about my title I was clearing my throat ready for todays challenge over at
  Midweek Magnolia's, this fortnight we want you to............
SONG BIRDS
...............sing it to us. Yep we want you to make a card inspired by a song, easy right. Well there is a catch as you are not aloowed to use Happy Birthday & not allowed to use Christmas Carols. It has to be a 'SONG' la la la la la................

Ok so I cheated a little as I ran out of time. So I went over to my coloured up images box & chose one that had been coloured up & thought of a song to go with it. 
This card was inspired by Mariah Carey 'Butterfly' I used to be a DJ so I know lots of songs although I'm not a Mariah Carey fan.............I prefer latest chart music ;0)

I've used Tim Holtz 'On The Edge Butterfly' die, cut it twice & layered it. I've also added Magnolia's

The rolled flowers I made with a Marianne die, the white one also got the edges frantaged with wine (which is a purply colour, lush) The butterflies are Magnolia dies also the flower is. I also added a 'Bark Heart' from LLC.

The lace is from my stash.

The image is 'Tilda with Ugg Boots' which I just adore, isn't she fab. She was coloured in copics, I will look for the list as I cant remember what I did with it lol, so will try add numbers later.

The totally gorgeous papers are Pion 'Purple Wallpaper' & Pion 'Purple Rose' I machine stitched them & inked the edges with Pumice Stone distress ink.

Please pop on over to look at my teamies work, OMG, they are stunning.........absolutely mind blowingly gorgeous. Also its our lovely Teresa's birthday today, pop on over wish her Happy Birthday ;0)

Well I'm going now as I've got family coming up from Stoke today & staying over. I will come round to visit you tonight when I go bed.............I will do it on my kindle so excuse any typing errors lol.

Thanks for stopping by it means soooooooo much

One Of A Kind

Hello everyone how are you? Well I've not done any crafting or even colouring this week yet as Natalie is still poorly with her chest. Her saturation level kept dropping a few days ago so needed her inhaler a lot more. Today though she is quite a bit better hopefully she will improve from here.

Anyway I have got a card that I made a week or 2 ago, I have a few but havn't had time blog them.
I finally got to ink up another one of my Magnolia's that hadnt seen ink.
I loved this Tilda from The Sea Breeze collection straight away when I pre-ordered them........then I didnt ink them.......they are still sitting in the box they came in........how shocking is that :0(

Links to most items used are all in the thumbnails at the bottom of this post. Some are on the post & will be highlighted in red bold lettering as always.

All flowers are from WOC, I couldnt get anything to link up from there on thumbnails :0(

The 'Ornate Cameo Frame' is from Crafts & Me & I've used 'Delight Clay' which is super light. I use a few different clays & one of them is quite heavy compared to others. The sentiment inside I cut 2 words form some East Of India ribbon from my stash & layered them.

'Gucci Tilda' has been coloured with Distress Markers

I've used my fave paper, Maja Design & machine stitched them & inked them with walnut ink. Inside is also done to compliment the front. Both laces are from my stash as is the sentiment at the top. The corner mould frma I made with the same clay but the mould is from my stash.

Well thats it form me, I will catch up with you all during today & tonight. I have my granddaughter staying as always on a Friday so it will be once Payton is bathed & in bed when I visit you tonight.

Thank you soooooo much for stopping by, big squishy hugs to all mmwah

Again I have used a Saturated Canary digi image & again I have cropped her.
The papers are the gorgeous Echo Park 'Reflections' & I inked the edges with walnut & machine stitched them.

The lace & pearl are from my stash. The 'Scalloped Pearls' are from WOC. The butterfly is Prima.

I've used MB 'Fresh Foliage' die & Prima flower both from My Crafty Heart. I've also dabbed Gesso paint onto them. The rolled flower was made with MB 'Scalloped Posie' die.

The image is 'Circus Trixie' by the fabbylous Krista & I've cropped her & coloured her with copics.
Colours used are............
Will add the colours asap....

The frame the image is on is Petra Oval large, I love this die. 

Okie doke I'm off now, I have the family coming for tea again today, I'm making Tacco's mmmmm. I also invited them on sunday for a herby chicken roast dinner & home made ginger cake & custard after, it was my dad's cake recipe & it was nice, though not as nice as my dad's...........but practice makes perfect ;0)
