Funky Friday

I have a mammoth post for today's Funky Hand post as I've used quite a lot of my scraps up (I still haven't made a dent in the mountain though) so without further ado here we go.

These cards have all been made using the new wedding downloads from Funky Hand which have yet to be released.

What a muppet! I've just come to my blog to write a post for today and the one I wrote last night for yesterday's Funky Friday was just sitting there staring at me, I completely forgot to publish it!!! :))

I'll be back later with Saturday's post, I promise :)
Take care and thanks for dropping by.

Funky Hand.com

As I mentioned in my post yesterday the new downloads from Funky Hand are now available :)

I hope you have as much fun with them as I'm having :)

Funky Friday

It's all change on the Get Funky blog as we move from being a challenge blog to a blog that is full of inspiration and great ideas, Get Funky And Craft! :) There will be post from one of the team each Wednesday and another over the weekend so if there is anything you would like to see or then please let us know. Anice will also still be giving away her 'freebies' on the Funky Hand website so you will have to keep an eye out for them and here is the current one. We have a fabulous new logo too

So, my card

I made this card for the Boss' s birthday:)

Materials used: Stylish Tree #3 and Christmas Tree #3, both from the O Come All Ye Crafters collections available on the Funky Hand web site as downloads, gold mirri card, die cut flowers and a few crystals. 

I made a birthday card to show how versatile this collection is, there are papers throughout the sets which can be used for any occasion.

Thanks for looking, back soon x

Funky Friday

Late again but at least I'm still on the right day. I'm having a nightmare with one of my printers and it's thrown the whole day out with faffing about with it. I use two printers...one I use for printing of papers because it will take compatible inks. I've had it for years but it needs a kick every so often as the pink/red prints like a dirty brown and it usually works again once I've pampered it with a head clean etc but today I had two put 2 different lots of magenta ink in it for it to work. It seems to 'refuse' to work properly whenever I buy new ink for my other printer which I use just for my wedding stationery so maybe it just doesn't like the competition lol.

I sort of got carried away early this morning and instead of just the one card, I made 3 :) Anice has come up with a couple of fabby new downloads called Santa Baby and Christmas Tree from a new collection called Oh Come All Ye Crafters. The downloads are available as papers, word books or both together at a discounted price. I printed off two of the papers then I decided that I would use one of the solid colours as a mat for the patterned papers, then I decided that I wanted another paper but not much of it so I printed this at A5. I then needed another sheet which made 5 in total which is how I came to make 3 cards. My challenge to myself now is to see how many cards or projects I can get out of these four A4 and one A5 sheets of patterned paper. Watch this space......(and I haven't even started on the Christmas Tree selection :)

The Santa image is a pre coloured digital stamp from The Twelve Crafters Crafting cd from last year, I went over his belt and boots with a black Sakura Glaze pen.

Right, I'm now away to print off my Christmas Tree papers and hope Mr Mojo stays right where he is lol.

Sleep tight and thanks for looking :)

What a grim old morning here in Scruff's Corner......it's been raing since about 6.30 am and it is just in the process of morphing itself into the white stuff.  We don't need any more, we have had our fair share for this year (although DD thinks it's great cos she gets to wear her wellies......not bad at 16 but they are black with pink love hearts all over thm :) 
The following cards were made over the weekend for DH to take to work and as you will see, I owe Liz from Pink Petticoat a huge thank you as most of the cards I do for DH are made with her images :)  so here goes

I turned the sketch on it's side for tis card. Papers are Pink Petticoat and everything else is from my stash.

Another PP image (which is actually in the Valentine pack!), the bottom paper is Stampin Up and I think the top paper is from HOTP, Letraset rub on and SA pearls complete the card.

For the last three cards I've used stuff which was on my desk. I am deserately trying to use up stuff that has been around for a while (by that I mean a long time :)) This is also the only time I use C6 cards, apart from wedding thank you cards, and I have built up a vast stash of them too. I've got my business head on at the mo so I need to 'stream line' my stash so I can justify buying more lol You would'nt believe how much paper is in my oddments draw!

I shall be back later with my ICS card but am now off to get dressed.

DewDrop Digiz

Have you seen the new Digi shop on the DewDrop Craftz web site? There are some lovely new images on there ready to download. I love digi downloads, I print them off a sheet at a time and colour them as I want them but have always got uncoloured images knocking about!! I love this new image Nikki sent me the other day. She is called Butterfly Swirl and I just had to get out the glitter pot when I saw her. :) I used the new sketch from the Inspirational Card Sketches blog for my card and I think it also fits in with the Papertake Weekly challenge which is

Angels And Fairies

It couldn't be simpler. So if you want to p p p pick up a penguin (sorry!!) all you have to do is include something fairy-ish or angelic on your cards and that's it..

paper-magazine freebie, download-Butterfly Swirl, ProMarkers,Cuttlebug embossing strips, flowers-Prima,
Glamour Dust, everything else from stash.

The camera hasn't picked up the glamour dust at all which is a shame as she has sparkly hair and wings. I had to take the photo at an angle to stop getting my reflection in the mirror card. LOL

I really need to do some work now but I'm going to nip down the garden to feed the fish and pull some pears off the tree for after tea this evening. Not sure whether to make a pear sponge with chocolate custard or pear crumble and ordinary custard!! Such difficult decisions :))

Back later, tfl. x

PS There are even some free digi images in the DewDropz Digi Shop.

Challenge cocktail

For this challenge I've combined the Mojo Monday sketch (which I've managed by the skin of my teeth!) and the last two Daring Cardmakers Dares. Last week was to
'Make a child smile' All I want you to do is make a card with sick children in mind.
It's best to avoid ‘Get Well’ cards and just aim to make something that is cheery and will bring a smile to a sick child’s face.
Now I can hear you saying….so, what make this such a ‘special’ dare?
Well, it’s special because this week we are very proud to be linking up with Post Pals, an organisation that was set up to create smiles for children who suffer from life threatening and long term illnesses.
As part of the dare, and the most important part at that, I would like you to actually post your card to one of the children listed on the Post Pals web site.
It’s very simple to do, just visit their Home Page where you’ll see they have some ‘featured’ children at the top of the page and to the Left in the side bar there’s a whole data base of children and their stories.

So there you have it……
I dare you to make a cheery card for a sick child and send it to one of the children featured on Post Pals to brighten their day.

Also, please can I ask you to make sure that any embellishments you use on your card are firmly secured? We need to prevent the chance of any accidents where small items might be swallowed if they come loose.

and this weeks Dare is the colour combo......blue and green should never be seen. My nana always added....unless with yellow in between!The image is one of Sally-Ann Hancock's downloads at The Digi Stamp Boutique and I've coloured him with ProMarkers.

2 Sketches 4 You

Laura's sketch 26

Another card for DH as he has another wedding to do tomorrow evening. The elements are the same as the last card with the addition of the QK Revolution Swirl..........this is my new favout=rite die :))

Back again

......with another card to share. This time it's for Dawny's Challenge #6 over at Papertake Weekly

Papers used are K & Co and the image and sentiment are from Pink Petticoat I love downloads at the moment, they are such good value (especially the freebies :)) and are always there when you need them!

I'm trying to pass the time at the moment as I'm being admitted to the dental hospital this afternoon to have two roots removed. I have to have them out under sedation as I'm a great big wuss:( I should be back later today though....stitched up and groggy (so you shouldn't really notice any difference LOL).
