Been a While...

Haven't done much crafting lately, but here is a little something I knocked together quickly over the weekend using some rub-ons and notelets from the Bubbles, Born to Shop range and a few scraps I had laying about.

Snowman Card - Lili of the Valley Challenge 42

Lili of the Valley - Challenge 42 is this awesome sketch by Jacqui:



This is my attempt at following it (sorry about the picture quality, no amount of photoshop image sharpening can make my camera take better pictures!):

Let it Snow

A Yule card based on this weeks 2 Sketches 4 You sketch by Kazan.

And also fits in nicely with the challenge from Cupcake Craft Challenges

It's bigger than I usually go, an A4 card folded in half... you can't see very well on the picture unfortunately, but the snowflake is surrounded by a pricking pattern... up close I think it looks amazing.

It's A Mans World...

So I don't have a lot of men in my life - but a friend asked me to make some cards and she does actually have a few male realatives and such, so I decided to try my hand at a few cards for men. 3 birthday cards and 1 that could be a birthday card, or used for something else.

Most of the papers (except thoes mentioned below) were from ones a friend sent me for my birthday (same friend who asked for the batch of cards, incidentally). All the pictures were printed from the computer and coloured with whispers markers. Writing is all outline stickers, except for the Gorllia card which is computer generated.

Paper is printed from Shabby Princess freebie kits. Writing reads: Why so Glum? You can hardly see the grey...

Same paper as above, from Shabby Princess, just enlarged.

Espresso Yourself!

Writing reads: Be a coffee drinking individual - espresso yourself!

So this is my first attempt at a challenge... and probably not my last but I doubt I'll submit them all. Still caardvarks has a challenge for shaped cards... seemed like a good chance to put my coffee addiction to use... so I'm giving this one a go.

The pictures and the writing is computer generated. I used whispers markers to colour.

A set of 6 every day cards I made - never done a set before, but I thought it would be cute... it is, but it was also a pain, lol.

Also made a little box to put them in.

















Papers were digital papers that I printed. RPenn Express Yourself. Picture was computer generated. Words are from a stamp, I forget where I got it...

Proof that I haven't gone completely dark side... no pink in sight!



This brown/white/teal card would be perfect for a friend having a hard time.
