The challenge at <a href="http://charismacardz.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Charisma cardz</a> is buttons and bows this fortnight, and I have used some pretty pearlised buttons as my embellishments and used the colour of them as inspiration for the hint of pink on my card. I have kept the rest of the card quite monotone as I love pinks, blacks and greys together, it looks classy ;)<br />
The image is<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/175481198/first-date-digital-stamp?ref=listing-0" target="_blank"> First Date</a> from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/175481198/first-date-digital-stamp?ref=listing-0" target="_blank">Time for Tea Designs</a> and makes a lovely image for teen birthdays.<br />

Omg I'm late with my post this week, I have had a busy one, but the theme this week of <a href="http://www.charismacardz.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">anything goes</a> meant I didn't have to do a lot of planning, I could just have a play. I got my poor old neglected crop-a-dile out for this card, I think it is time for eyelets to make a comeback I have far too many that need using up. I have used a sponsor image from bugaboo this week and some cup cake papers I glitered because I didn't like the actual colours on the paper.<br />

mirri card and sparkly jewels to make my wedding card shine. I cut down an 8x8 to a 6x8 portrait card and I think it makes it look pretty unique it is oversized but not overpowering.<br />
The digi is from Milk and cookies and the papers were some I found in my stash I'm not sure where they are from but I thought they were quite romantic.<br />

I have chosen one of the gorgeous digis that were recently released as part of the Polkadoodles birthday celebrations, I used one from the <a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6778" target="_blank">Ruth bundle</a>. I think this is such a fab image and have wanted to colour it for ages. I picked some colours from the Kaisercraft papers I used to colour my image in with so it all co-ordinated and added some vellum bunting to embellish.<br />

<span style="color: #666666;">It's all about the guys at digi choosday this week. I used a cute Emma Canning digi for my card this week,<a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6622" target="_blank"> </a></span><a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6622" target="_blank">Love Boy</a><span style="color: #666666;">, and I coloured him sepia trying to keep the card fairly monotone. Unfortunately I had a glitter mishap trying to embellish the love heart so I had to improvise and make a kraft card heart for the boy to carry. I have used brown spotty papers from the </span><a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=5599" target="_blank">Christmas Joy</a><span style="color: #666666;"> bundle and extra embellishments from </span><a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6277" target="_blank">Sugar boys</a><span style="color: #666666;"> collection.</span><br />

I have used spotty and stripey papers for my card this week, classic and classy I think. These are both from <a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6743" target="_blank">Dollie Daydream </a>as is the sentiment and it all tied in perfectly with the digi, <a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6793" target="_blank">Kiss The frog</a> from Emma Canning. I did a bit more experimenting with my colouring this week, but the skin tone was a bit strong.<br />

I have built a scene up to make my own holiday scene this week using this cute<a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6736" target="_blank"> Emma Canning digi</a>. I liked the idea of a summer birthday card for a teen so I set the guitar player on the beach, I was tempted to try colouring a camp fire but chickened out. I like to think outside the box with digis, it gives them a new dimension.<br />

The challenge for this fortnight at <a href="http://www.charismacardz.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Charisma Cardz</a> is May Flowers, and I have used an image from our sponsor <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_12&products_id=96&zenid=cjoklloig9c16ffal9reklmcj6" target="_blank">The Paper Shelter</a>. I have coloured her in Promarkers, it's not my best colouring I have got used to copics now, but I don't have enough colours especially pinks and purples which are must haves for spring flowers.<br />
I hope you can join in the fun and checkout the DT makes they are gorgeous as ever!<br />

I don't like to go over mad with embellishments, it's not my style I like a clean and simple approach so I kept it simple and subtle for this week's challenge. I made my own flowers just using white card and a bit of distress ink and gems, and let the image take over the card (found on the <a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6303" target="_blank">Bonbon Belles CD rom</a>).

The challenge at Digi Choosday this week is to create something for a child's birthday party. Something that can be a bit off putting about making party decorations and favours is having to make lots and lots of the same thing, but digi images makes it easier to bulk make unique decorations. I have used just one element from the flowers and leaves digi bundle and just diecut and decoupaged and added gems for a pretty party cupcake topper, you could add children's names to the back for a personalised touch.Jo Grasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07621427182011835304noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864579223251453498.post-13944687512805712002014-04-24T13:01:00.000+01:002014-04-24T13:01:24.153+01:00blue and purple<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The theme at <a href="http://www.charismacardz.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Charisma cardz</a> this week is blue and purple, I used a cool digi stamp from Sassy Studio designs, I went a vintage route as I thought it suited Mary Poppins. I used my Promarkers to colour the image but I'm not too pleased with my colouring on this one it's a bit washed out.<br />

For my DT card this week I used papers and elements from the jam packed sugar birdies birthday collection, including the number, the cute owl and the sentiment. I cut through the balloon string and replaced it with silver cord and decoupaged the owl so it looks like he is holding it, and added some glossy accents to the balloon and owl.<br />

I have never tried this technique with digis before, it is so easy and fun. I used a gorgeous Nikky Hall digi available <a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6639" target="_blank">here </a>and cute Polkadoodles digi papers. I love challenges that get you try something new!<br />
I hope everyone is enjoying the Easter hols, it means I get two weeks to concentrate on my coursework, well that's the theory anyway I also have to find ways to entertain a 7 year old. I cannot wait to be up to date and finished with all my course work, learning is hard lol!<br />

It's almost Easter egg time so ovals will be popping up everywhere. I found an oval box cutting file on the Silhouette site and couldn't resist trying it, it was a heck of a lot bigger than I expected :\ I downloaded the <a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6549" target="_blank">flowers and leaves bundle</a> to use for this project, it is jam packed with spring floral papers and elements it was ideal for the idea I had in my head. I have used soft pastel tones and embellished with flowers from the bundle as well as sentiments from the candy doodles cd.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For this challenge I cut a piece of black card to 145mm x
145mm and layered patterned paper on top leaving a narrow border
around the edge. I layered a piece of 145mm x 40mm peach
patterned paper onto black card leaving a narrow border added it to
the centre of the layered square. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I cut the heart frame from the cutie
frames silhouette file to measure 127mm x 104mm from black mirror
card and enlarged the Some Odd Girl digi stamp to fill a square
measuring 90mm x 90mm. I printed and cut it on my Silhouette Cameo
and coloured with copic markers. I attached some patterned paper to
show through the die cut hearts in the frame and attached the frame
to the layered square at an angle. I placed the image in the frame to
make it look like a holiday snap. I added the whole piece to a 150mm
x 150mm card blank. I embellished the card with gems.</span></div>

I have used a fab <a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=5151" target="_blank">digi image </a>this week, a little out of my comfort zone as I usually go for characters but scenes are great to colour.

All the papers, the cute fox and the embellishments I have used for my card this week are from the Emma Canning animals and nature bundle, available on the Polkadoodles website. I printed the fox three times so I could decoupage her, and I added little highlights of glaze to her nose, the acorns and leaves. How cute are the little paws!!?! hop over to join in the fun and checkout the DT makes, gorgeous as ever!Jo Grasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07621427182011835304noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864579223251453498.post-33320164419802015832014-03-18T08:00:00.000+00:002014-03-18T08:00:01.592+00:00boy stuff - digi choosday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have made another quite simple card this week, I had fun colouring this one and I've used green and yellow which is a combo I don't use hardly ever. The <a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6738" target="_blank">Emma Canning digi</a> is fab I love getting to work with them, it's available <a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6738" target="_blank">here</a>, you can buy the image with or without a mouth depending on your preference.<br />

I'm not the girliest girl so I like to make girly cards quite understated, and I thought I would make a sweet pastel toned girly card for our challenge at digi choosday this week. I have used a fab digi from the Bon Bon Belles cd and also papers from candy doodles CD. I love the candy doodles cd, I was lucky to win the collection a few years ago and that, along with my trusty sundae of seasons cd, gets used a lot. I added some lace and teeny tiny gems to embellish. Join in the fun its <b><a href="http://digichoosday.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">always anything goes</a>!!!</b><br />
I am at an international women's day event tomorrow making cards and encouraging people to take it up as well as a taking a few cards to sell. I hope it goes well :)<br />

I think Spring is finally on it's way as I have seen daffs and crocuses this week :) So I love spring floral themes and Polkadoodle designs are just perfect for spring and flowery cards. I have used gorge pastel papers from the back to nature collection and a fab bouquet digi stamp. I diecut the flowers and used them as the stopper on an easel card. Hope you can join us this week, it is anything goes all the time :)Jo Grasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07621427182011835304noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864579223251453498.post-43989875312420784942014-03-02T08:01:00.002+00:002014-03-02T08:01:49.331+00:00CAGI - Flowers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have used a fred she said image for this challenge, I had fun colouring and making this card. I've added little gems to each flower which doesn't show up too well in the photo but it looks lovely in real life :)<div>
hope you can join in the fun at CAGI this week, good luck.</div>

At Charisma cardz this fortnight the challenge is on to use something not meant for crafting, and I struggled as everything seems to be used in crafting these days. I am addicted to looking at upcycling Pinterest boards but for some reason inspiration wasn't hitting me. But I found an old lonely playing card in my son's room and thought I could use it as a mat for my image rather than throw it away. The image is from our sponsor Dr Digi and I've coloured him in with Promarkers (I just don't have enough copics yet)<br />
<br />
So join in the challenge, I am sure there will be some amazing ideas and inspiration in the gallery this week!Jo Grasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07621427182011835304noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864579223251453498.post-6601471158092802014-02-25T09:00:00.000+00:002014-02-25T12:35:00.573+00:00envelopes and inserts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

now for this challenge over at <a href="http://digichoosday.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Digi Choosday</a> I envisioned making a gorgeous envelope book, (check out the rest of the DT their creations are amazing) but I couldn't get it too look anywhere near amazing. I forund a tutorial on how to make an envelope just using four circles and went with that. I had wanted to decorate the inside more but the digi I had printed was too big, I printed off a sentiment instead and liked the effect. It's a really good kids craft too :)</div>
So hop over to the new <a href="http://digichoosday.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">digi choosday blog</a>, it is anything goes all the time and there's plenty of Polkadoodle inspiration to find xxxJo Grasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07621427182011835304noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864579223251453498.post-91348534640158077762014-02-23T05:00:00.000+00:002014-02-26T09:11:33.298+00:00blue kitty<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had a lot of fun colouring in this cute kitty image from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/96723344/digital-stamp-love-kitty?ref=shop_home_active_5" target="_blank">Oak Pond creations</a>, I decided to go crazy with colour, but I think the blue looks cute ;) I have used a gorgeous teal mirror card but the colour doesn't show well on camera annoyingly.<br />
I hope you can join in the animal themed challenge at <a href="http://cagichallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">CAGI </a>this week, can't wait to see the entries, good luck!!<br />
