It's FRIGHT NIGHT!

..well. Almost. :)

One more day 'til Halloween!!

How do you celebrate? It isn't as huge in the UK as I'd like it to be.. so I don't find myself making much Halloween stuffs.. today is an exception though.

Over at Passion for ProMarkers we got a SPOOKY kinda challenge for you all to join in with. I've gone more.. CUTE than SPOOKY! LOL! Total opposite ends of the spectrum, but I do hope you like it!!

FRIGHT NIGHT

This is "just for you" - Halloween-y guys. I kept the layout of this card pretty simple. I used a few papers from an older Cosmo Cricket pack called Boyfriend if I remember rightly. Some texture in the form of crinkle organza and a slice of fluffy orange stuff? LOL! :)

I used a gorgeously cute? LOL! new image from Tiddly Inks, this is Monstrous Party. I've coloured these guys up using bright, bold colours. I tried to add some.. texture to their furs.. :) I also gave the 'purple glow' another go. That rhymed. LOL! I like how it turned out this time - a lot more vibrant. Yayyy!

Enough from me and my bright, furry friends - head over to the Passion for ProMarkers blog NOW and see the other ladies amazing creations!

Make it Like.. LOU!!

Morning Tiddly Inkers! :) It's Tuesday once again, and that means it's time for a new challenge over at Tiddly Inks. Like you didn't already know.

This week we have another Make it Like.. LOVE these challenges. It's interesting to see how you guys interpret out DTs projects. So this week we want you to

MAKE IT LIKE LOU

Our lovely Lou whipped up this creation a while back..

and we want you to take some inspiration from it for your card, whether it be in the form of the layout, the colour combo, the image or the detailing!! We can't WAIT to see what you come up with.

I used the same image as Lou for my card, this is Wryn - Joy Ride, and I've coloured her using one of my all time fave colour combos - turquoise, lime green and orange. YUM!

I've added some seam binding, Prima flowers a big button and some brads from Doodlebug. Oh, and that mini orange ric rac that's been popping up on a lot of my projects lately! :) The sentiment from Amy R has been stamped in some Island Indigo ink from SU! Love. :)

Please head over to the challenge blog and see what my other teamies have come up with using Lou's cute project for inspiration. Kisses. xo

James, you so Swaggg!!

Hey guys- it's DAY THREE of releases over at The Greeting Farm. Are you loving what you've seen so far?! I know I am!

Today we've a new guy on the block. I'd like to introduce you to..

JAMES

Is he hot? Uh huh. I'm loving his big hair and that jacket. Sooo swag! 

Here's my offering.

I kept this card pretty simple using a few papers from Echo Park - This and That collection, adding some pops of yellow to bring some colour and stamping a sentiment from My Guy Ian set, also from The Greeting Farm. I've been practicing my.. greys? So i decided to colour his jacket white.. well.. at least try. I think it could do with a little more definition. We live and we learn, right? :)

And this creation is a little more out of the box.. It's CHRISTMAS themed. Heh. I had to!! All wrapped up in the leather biker jacket. I had to. Oh, and that bright red mop of hair. Uh huh. I went ALL OUT. I've used some yummy papers from Basic Grey and matted them onto Island Indigo cardstock from SU! Another sentiment from My Guy Ian finishes this card up.

 

Oh, and before I forget - woah. I tried out a different skin combo of.. lemme think. Nutmeg, Dusky Pink, Oatmeal, Blush and Linen. Kinda paler, I like it. Should done a side by side comparison. Next time. :)

Talking about looking swag ;) - I've got a few events to attend next month, so I'm off for a spot of internet shopping! ;) I mean.. "window" internet shopping of course! ;)

Take it easy, and be sure to check by the The Greeting Farm Blog each day to see the new characters being released each day! xo

The girl is STYLIN'!!

Oh where to begin? Perhaps with an apology? Or perhaps I could just stop putting it off and get on with the rest of the post? Uh huh. I'll do that.

So aside from the fact I'm way late with my projects for the latest release over at The Greeting Farm, you guys will have already laid eyes on the gorgeous new Anya Styles, so..

Here are my offerings.

This girl is an absolute dream to colour, and that hair! BOY! Wanna know who I think nails it? Our very own Rachel - check out her Anya with the glossy black hair.. AH-mazing. I decided to give my first Anya Styles bright blonde hair to stand out against her biker chic clothes. She's soo stylin'!

My second Anya got coloured up to represent a little more of the girlie girl in her style. Pinks and yellows are my new pinks and greens. I love the combo - and papers from My Minds Eye make it all the more gorgeous. I'd like to say this card is a little back to front, in the sense that the white space on the image panel takes up a lot of the card - and I kinda like that. I've stamped the largest sentiment from the set over the bottom of the image in Brilliance ink (so crisp) and added a few banners, hearts and buttons to finish it off. It has been matted onto some mustard coloured Core-dinations cardstock and voila. 

So there ya have it!! My late edition of Anya Styles. Don't forget there is a new stamp released each day up til November 1st - which is release day, and their will be a coinciding BLOG HOP you won't wanna miss out on.

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm BLOG each day to see what goodies we've got for ya!! I'll be back on Monday with a new boy on the block! ;)

LOVES. xo

Sing me a Carol

Oh, you don't wanna sing? What's that? You sound like a cat being strangled? Gosh, okay.. keep those noises to yourself. Instead.. Wryn will sing us a lovely carol.

Ready?

Heh! :) It's time for another dose of Fabulous Friday from our AH-mazing Tiddly Inks team! Head over to the challenge blog to see what the other ladies have created to inspire ya this week!! 

This is Wryn Goes Caroling. She's been coloured up using ProMarkers and FlexMarkers to match my papers from an old collection from Basic Grey - Wassail. I know I'll be asked what colours I used for her hair - so Oatmeal, Honeycomb, Ginger and Spice. :) One step ahead of ya!

I haven't followed any particular layout for this card, I've just tried to use up the scraps of papers I've already cut into. I've inked the edges using Frayed Burlap DI - the first time I've done this in forEVAH. I've outlined some areas with an Old Olive marker. The little sentiment ticket is a mixture of Whimsy stamps and Amy R. Some yummy olive grosgrain from The Ribbon Girl, and old BG button aaand some random beige coloured brads finish this card off.

Oh, and.. I've been tryna use up my.. flatter? less dimensional? dimensional foam adhesive. It's like 1mm, maybe 2mm thick.. and well.. I have like two who A4 sheets to get rid of. Hell, you can't even tell that the image panel is popped up on this card, can ya? Meh. I gotta start using stuff up before buying new, so I'ma have to stick it out. Get it? Stick! LOL! Seriously though - why don't we think ahead before we purchase this stuff? :/

Don't forget to head over to the challenge blog!

Thank you for stopping by! xo
