Star

Hello lovely people,

Ooops, that's another couple of weeks gone by without any blogging from me.  I seem to be in a bit of a 'not very inspired' period, which is not good when I have DT cards and lots of commissions to do :-(

I have managed to do my DT card though for the new challenge at Top Tip Tuesday and our theme this time is...

FAVOURITE COLOUR COMBO

We are sponsored by Kenny K with a prize of 3 digital images for the winner.

I'm sure everyone knows my favourite colour is pink but I don't really have a favourite colour to team it with, it really depends on what works with the image.  So, for this one it's pink and black as it needed something a bit funky!

The image is, of course, a Kenny K one and I am not sure about some of my colour choices... I know I am being pretty picky but I really shouldn't have done the guitar and her outfit the same colour!

Card recipe;

Monochrome rocks!

Hello lovely people,

I'm currently on holiday with Dr Hubby and all his family at a cottage in Devon; the weather is a bit variable but we're still having lots of fun :-)

So, while I enjoy another cream tea (probably - we've had 2 already!) I will let you know about the new challenge at Top Tip Tuesday where our theme this time is...

MONOCHROME

If you're not sure what this means, we want to see shades of just ONE colour on your creation, apart from skin/hair tones if you wish.

We are sponsored by the fabulous Kenny K where you can find a great range of funky images for girls and boys!

I went for a classic greyscale; I really wanted to add a stripe of colour to her hair but resisted to make sure I kept to the monochrome theme... maybe next time!

Can you believe that I have never coloured one of these images before?  I was really excited to get a free image to use for the challenge and this was such fun to colour.

Hello lovely people,

I'm back!  It's not often I post 2 cards in one day so if you are looking for my In The Pink card then please scroll down.

I now have my DT card for the All Dressed Up Challenge to share with you and it's about as far from pink as you can get!

I'm not one for New Years Resolutions but I did have a few things in mind that I would like to try more of in 2014 and one of those was male cards.  Regular visitors will know my blog is full of pretty girly cards so I thought I should try to get out of my comfort zone every now and then!

And when I saw the fab new images from All Dressed Up I knew it was a good time to go for it!  We have four fantastic images in this latest release, covering both girls and boys!

Happiness

Love to Dance

Purrrfect Together

Rock My World

How fab are these?  To purchase any of the images please head over to the Shop.

For my design team creation I have used Rock my World and here he is;

I really enjoyed colouring this and the one major difference to all the girly images I usually colour was a lack of hair!

We would love it if you stopped by our Facebook Group to share your All Dressed Up creations and chat to fellow crafters.

I know this was already quite a long post but I just have to tell you that I am going on holiday on Sunday so may not be around too much for the next week.  I am skiing in Andorra with friends and I can't wait :-D
