Happy Easter

I hope Mr Bunny has been and brought you lots of chocolate :)

I'm sorry I don't have an Easter card for you but I only ever make them to order as I only sell a couple! I do have another wedding card though using more Funky Hand goodies (have you seen their wonderful sale yet? You can get to the web site by either clicking here or clicking on the Our Betty button on my side bar.)

The image again is from the Wishes & Kisses cd (which has been reduced from £15.99 to £8.00 in the sale) to which I have just added some tiny crystal hearts (which I think might be made by Docrafts), and the papers are a sneaky peek of a new download in the making (oops!) lol, flowers are old Prima ones with gold crystal centres.

Thanks for dropping by, back soon. xx

Kathy's Waffle Sketch File

As Tuesday was the first Tuesday of the month it was release day for Kathy's new sketch.

And here is my first project

The cutie little cake on the card is from a set of Our Betty stamps by Funky Hand for one of the craft mags (which one escapes me at the mo!!) The sentiment is a Papermania stamp and the papers are from my left overs mountain.

Thanks for looking and we would love you to join us in our challenge.

Daring Cardmaker

It's ages since I took part in any challenges so I'm not even sure if any have closed down but  one of the best and original challenges, The Daring Cardmaker's challenge blog is still going strong. 

this week sees Kathy setting the challenge and as her theme she has chosen

How Many Candles? She would like you to make a Birthday Card with at least one candle on it this week

The DCM team have all used Funky Hand papers from the Happy Happy Birthday CD to make their cards this week so you'll see what it's all about, but of course you may not have any (yet), so you can use anything you like.

If you would like to try using a Funky Hand Freebie, visit Get Funky! where you'll find this months new Funky Fifteenth freebie available to download right now.

I have chosen an assortment of Funky Hand elements for my card just to show how all of the cds and stamps can mix and match!

 My papers are from both the Happy Happy Birthday and the Dreams Come True cds and the cake image is an 'Our Betty' stamp which is part of a set which was given away by Papercraft Essentials a couple of months ago.


thanks for looking. xx

Pinch and punch....

..for the first of the month :)

It's my turn to post my project on the Get Funky! challenge blog so here goes......

A huge thank you to Debs for hosting this month's challenge which goes under the heading of SPOTS & STRIPES and can be seen here and to my super talented team mates for providing such inspiration.

When Debs first announced her challenge, even before Anice uploaded the new striped freebie paper I started rattling off my spotty and stripey creations which are posted on my blog and came up with three before I realised I still needed to make something using the free paper lol

It just so happened that DH forgot his step-niece's birthday until the actual day so this is what I came up with.
The elephant digi stamp is from the Colour Me Happy cd and I've printed him onto the spotty paper from the Rainbow Polkadots download and as well as using the striped freebie, I've used the large spotty paper from the April Fool section of the Craft The Year Away cd. The sentiment was printed using the Workspace on the CTYA cd and glued onto a cocktail stick to make my flag. I finished my card with 3 toning brads, I hope you like it.

And here are my other stripey/spotty makes. I hope you like them and that you are inspired to join in with our Get Funky! challenge which runs until the 14th May.

Papers and images are from Dreams Come True and Colour Me Happy cds with the addition of ribbon, gems and Prima flowers from my craft stock.

Please remember that your creation MUST use an element from Funky Hand and if you don't you won't go into the hat for the winning entry.

Have you seen the fabulous Our Betty stamps on the web site too? Prices on the stamps have been reduced from £8.99 to £7.99

Take care and thanks for looking.

Funky Hand News

Just like buses, I don't blog for a couple of days and then three come along at once!!

So what is the news I hear you ask :)

As well as having five new team members, the Funky Hand Design Team Challenge Blog Get Funky! has been changed from the monthly start date of the 1st of each month to the Funky 15th! Another change which has made over there is that we are going to be updating the blog all month long with new inspiration cards from different Design Team members and there will be tutorials, hints and tips thrown in all month long as well..all the more reason to call back for some Get Funky! fun during the month..

And finally (as if there isn't enough news already) take a look over at the web site and have a look at all the new additions and the release of the first Funky Hand stamps - Our Betty! Our Betty clear stamps are permanently clear and non-yellowing with a lovely deep cut outline.

Isn't she just fab? Keep an eye on the web site and the blogs for inspiration ....I'm sure we are going to see a lot of our Betty in the future.
