Crafty Calendar Challenge Card- Anything Goes

Hi everyone.  It's the first Saturday in the month so it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar.

I hope everyone has had a good day....I,ve been working on a card today.  It's a commission for a 60th birthday and I just couldn't get it to look how I envisaged it in my head, it took me ages to decide on embellishments, papers, and then the layout.....and I had the same problems with the card I'm posting now for the Crafty Calendar Challenge.

The theme for this month is ANYTHING GOES.

For my card I have used:

Loveable Avie by Pretty Little Stamps coloured with copics.

The DP's are from a Laura Ashley paper pack

Tiddly Inks Picture Perfect Wryn Birthday Card

Good morning to all.  I have another Tiddly Inks card to share with you today.

Just in case you didn't know Tiddly Inks are having a DT call, it closes on the 31 July so you still have time to get your card made using your favourite Tiddly Inks image and post it on the Tiddly Inks blog.

For my card I have used:

Tiddly Inks digi image "Wryn Picture Perfect" coloured with copics.

The DP's are from the Wild Rose Studio Vintage Rose paper pack

I used these papers because I was going for a vintage wallpaper feel to the card... not sure if I achieved that goal....

Now off to start baking some cupcakes for our "party" tomorrow...

Thanks for stopping by.

Tiddly Inks For The Birds Birthday Card.

Good evening to all.  Today is my OH's birthday, because we're having a few people around on Sunday I hadn't really planned anything special for Martyn's birthday today other than us both having the day off work, so we decided to go for lunch and then to the cinema to see "The Wolverine"...fab film.... so now we're back home I have just enough time to share the card that I made for him.

With him being a birdwatcher the card always has to have birds on it....

I have used:

Tiddly Inks "For The Birds" digi stamp coloured with copics.

The DP's are from the My Minds Eye Bloom & Grow paper pack.

It's a good job he only has six letters in his name or I might have been in a bit of trouble...  and I know the card doesn't have particularly masculine colours but at least I didn't pick girly pink...which Martyn was relieved about...

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Divas By Design - Anything Goes

Craft Your Passion - Happy Birthday

The Crafters Cafe - Anything Goes

Crafts And Me - Anything Goes

Creative Inspirations - BINGO (Twine, Buttons, Sentiment)

Creative Craft Challenge - Numbers Challenge Christmas Card

Good afternoon everyone.  I hope you'll all enjoying the gorgeous weather that we're having at the moment.  It's Tuesday so that means a new challenge over at Creative Craft.  The theme for this fortnight is "NUMBERS" so ideal for those special birthday cards.

Now for my card.   I went into my little craft room, the sun was shining and the temperature was 25 degrees, I sat down at my desk to make my DT card and for some reason thought "I think I'll make a Christmas card!!".

So here it is, I have used

Melonheadz digi image "Rudolph" coloured with copics.

The DP's are a mixture of makes from my stash.

It might be slightly cheating but my only numbers on this card are on one of my papers, no others have been added....

so we need to see stitches on your projects either faux or real so get those needles and sewing machines out.

For my card I have used:

Robyns Fetish image "Christie Angel" coloured with copics.

I added a bit of faux stitching around the image and for a change instead of using the sewing machine I decided on using some twine to add a stitches across the top & bottom of the card.

Mickey & Minnie Mouse Wedding Card

Good morning to all.   Hope you're enjoying the gorgeous weather that we're having at the moment, you know that here in the UK it won't last for long so we have to make the most of it....

Luckily the weather changed for the better because that meant that Martyn's niece Alison who got married on Sunday had a gorgeous sunny day, and I thought I'd share the wedding card that I made for the occasion.

The wedding had a subtle Disney theme, so it was only fitting that the card had Mickey and Minnie Mouse on it.

Image - Mickey & Minnie stamp by EK Success.

DP's are various from stash

Greeting - Elzybells

Mickey brad (on the ribbon) from "The Eyelet Outlet" (I bought these an absolute age ago because being a Mickey Mouse and Disney fan I thought I would be using these a lot but I think this is the first time I have actually used them)

The mice on the corners are just three buttons positioned to give the impression of Mickey.

I also made a matching money wallet.

A couple of images from the wedding just to show the Disney theme:

The tables were named after Disney characters.

The gorgeous Mickey & Minnie cake.
