Hey, Young Man!!

Hey guys! It's Tuesday, and that can only mean one thing. It's time for another challenge over at Passion for ProMarkers, and today the challenge has been set by our very own Heidi - she wants to see those troublesome MALE CREATIONS that we know you guys can rock so well!!

FOR A MAN/ YOUTH


The lucky winner of this challenge will win a Collecters Set of ProMarkers courtesy of Letraset. Aren't we good to ya? ;) Get those entries in NOW. Here's some stuffs to inspire ya..

I've used an image from Some Odd Girl, this is Puppy Tobie and I LOVE his hoodie - don't you? I so need one of those as part of my winter threads this year. I've coloured him up with the usual ProMarkers and FlexMarkers to match my papers from Echo Park - This and That collection. LOVE those papers, so much so that I'm down to my last few sheets. ;)


I've added some yellow twill stripe ribbon from The Ribbon Girl and threaded a little olive button with some brown bakers twine to add some detail to the knot of that poofy bow. As for 'bling' which is always hard to include on a male card, I've sprinkled some Doodlebug brads here and there, in an odd number of course! The sentiment is from a Some Odd Girl Set, and I've stacked it up to fill in more of the white space around Tobie. Lastly, because none of my male cards would be complete without them, I've punched some stars using an SU! punch and some patterned papers from the same collection, which fills up that empty corner nicely.

I'd like to enter this card into these challenges:
 Make it Monday - Anything Goes
Challenge 4 Everybody - Anything Goes
The Hybrid Chick - 7 Things
I have 7 brads on my card.

Before I go I've got some links to share with ya!

Thinking of You

Hey Tiddly Inkers, sorry this post is going up a little late. My head has been all over the place lately, I have no idea whether I'm coming or going. Hopefully over this next week I'll get myself sorted out and organised again. Please bare with me. :)

So it's time for another Fabulous Friday over at Tiddly Inks, and this time round I've gone with an 'old' favourite of mine.. Wryn and Emmy - BFF. How sweet are these two together. 

I whipped this card up for a lady who wanted to let her friend know she was thinking of her as she was going through a tough time. She emailed me a picture of the two of them together, and I tried to match Emmy and Wryns dresses to theirs from the picture. :)


Be sure to stop by the Tiddly Inks blog and see what other awesome creations the girlies have come up for ya this time round!

Super Tobie - Featured Digi

There's still time to grab your SUPER TOBIE while there's 25% off ODDies.

Here's a card I whipped up to give you an idea of what this little cutie could be used for.


This little guy is perfect for a birthday card. Which little boy isn't gonna love this super hero? I love the blowing cape - such a neat touch! I've coloured him using PMs and FMs to match the scraps of paper I have left from My Minds Eye Out of the Blue paper pack. ;) The sentiment is from an Amy R set and has been stamped in Real Red ink onto a Dog Tag die cut with a MFT die.

Thanks for stopping by today! :) Hope you likey.

Pink Ribbon Mae

*waves*

I feel like a total stranger around these parts, and for that I can only apologise. BUT!! I know you guys are gonna be happy for me! I know myself that I'm happier than I have been in a very long time. Now I know I don't usually get all personal and soppy on my blog, I usually just stick to waffling with a slice of craft, BUT!! me thinks life is on the up!! New horizons, new directions and courses to take, and I finally have all of the special people right where they need to be! :) 

Now I know that's very 'riddle' like, but you never know who's reading these things! ;) Many of you have me on FB, and might have seen that I haven't been getting much sleep lately. Between that and doing a heap of extra hours at work over the past two weeks I'm all but pooped come the end of the day. By which my 'day' runs from 7:30am to about 4:30am! LOL. There are far better things to be doing than sleeping right now!!

SO! Now that I've got all of that out of the way, I hope that I've got these couple hours set aside to get my blog up to date! *fingers crossed*

HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN KEEPING UP WITH THE NEW DIGI RELEASES FROM SOME ODD GIRL?!

OF COURSE YOU HAVE!!

Today is the last day of previews.. we've got two absolutely gorgeous Mae's for you to add to your projects, from spunky and sassy to classy as chic, these two ladies have got it going OAN!!

Let me introduce ya to.. 



What did I say about chic and classy?! Uh huh, this pretty lady has got it ALL going on!! Please head over to the Some Odd Girl BLOG now to see what my other awesauce teamies have got for ya to show off both PINK RIBBON MAE and COWGIRL MAE! ;)

As standard, this girlie has been coloured using my ProMarkers and FlexMarkers - I love her matching eyeshadow! ;) I tried out a new combo for cream on her dress, I'm not 100% on it. What do you think? I also tried a new combo for blonde hair! LOL. I kinda like how that turned out! :) I kept the card pretty simple, with some papers from My Minds Eye Madison Avenue and some delicious ribbon from The Ribbon Girl. The sentiment is from an Amy R stamp and sums this image up just perfectly for me.

I'm off to try and get the rest of my missing posts sorted! ;) See you all very shortly.

Over and out. xo

SOG - Sept Digi Release

With all this cold weather we've been having lately, it's time to get geared up for the SNOW!! Okay, okay.. not quite yet.. but I can't wait for it's arrival. Guess whose all ready and raring to go.. It's Tobie!! How could you forget about this little character?

First up is Tobie and his little snowbuddy. How cute do they look together?! Tobies face says it all really.


I've coloured this little cutie up with the standard PMs/FMs to match my papers from Basic Grey. I've kinda souped up this card a little more than I usually would with a male card, but I kinda like how it turned out. I think the embellishment of this Christmas is gonna be die cut vellum snowflakes. ;)


Next up is WINTER TOBIE! All wrapped up and ready for the chilly days ahead. Do you love that hat as much as me?! I sure hope you do. I've coloured him up to match the same papers from Basic Grey, and I've added a couple more die cut snowflakes. I've tried to create a little landscape, can ya tell? ;) I love using up scraps, I do.


So that's it from me! Hope you likey! xo
