Free ribbon!

If you want to try to win yourself some free ribbon head over to Sarah's blog and enter.

Then when you've done that you should really visit Sarah's Facebook page, she sell the most scrummy lace and ribbons! I've had to get myself a bigger lace jar and every time I say 'that's it, no more' she brings out some more! Well, it's just polite to buy some rather than just look, don't you think? She does sell other craft stuff as well as ribbon and lace but I never seem to get past that bit lol

Back soon.

PS Tell Sarah that Jackie sent you ;)

Kanban Thursday

Well that's another week which as flown out of my life all too quickly! Time isn't slowing down as I asked at the beginning of the year so I think I will just have to learn to work faster lol Our internet went down at about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and it didn't come back on until about  11 last night so I got my Kanban DT cards ready for next week. 

There is great excitement at Kanban towers and with this excitement in mind I made a further Kanban card. On the 4th March we are launching our new challenge over on the Kanban blog. It will be a monthly challenge with a chance for all who enter to win some Kanban goodies :) All the details will be posted on the Kanban blog so please trundle over and take a look :)

Quick cards Sunday!

Good morning Campers!! How are we all this morning? It's miserable grey and windy here at Scruff's Corner and I have ironing to do.......now how is that for a bad day already!?!

I have more cards in my blog folder so here goes

 This card was made for one of hubby's nephews whose birthday is on Christmas Day! The Man U badge was pinched from somewhere on t'internet and the footballer is from a stamp set by Papermania called Nostalgia Pastimes, he was coloured with Promarkers.

 This is a card made in a hurry with a pre coloured image from Lili Of The Valley, a piece of b/g card and ribbon from Kanban and a typewritten sentiment

 I don't know where the cupcake is from on this card, I've been all through my documents today and can't find any trace of it. I coloured the heart with a poppy Promarker and then gave it a good squirt of Glossy Accents. The doily and ribbons are from my craft box.

I love this image. It's one I bought from Funky Kits ages ago and have loads of uses out of her. A quick colour with Promarkers, a piece of white satin ribbon and that's it finished.

I hope you've liked my quick run down of quick cards.
Thanks for looking.

Lads and Dads ....

well lads' cards in general :) I know lots of people don't like making male cards but I don't mind. I struggle a bit for my dad but that's because he doesn't have any hobbies apart from football (watching not playing!) and there are only so many cards you can make with Glasgow Rangers on lol

Anyway, back to the cards

 The football boot is from the Colour Me Happy cd from Funky Hand which I enlarged and printed before colouring with Promarkers and threading with white grograin ribbon. The sentiments are from Craftwork Cards, the shirt was in my craft box and I added the die cut name and number

 

This cute little fella was a free download from Digital Delights some time ago. His name is Birthday Pippin and he has been coloured with Promarkers. The gingham paper is a download too but I've had it for so long I can't remember where it came from. The letters and the number were die cut.

Thanks for looking.

Monday, Monday

.........and boy can we tell it's a bank holiday here in the UK. What a miserable windy day. I shall cheer myself up a little later with a bit of beading me thinks :) DH has gone to work today and is having a day off later in the week so hopefully we will be able to get out for a while. We might just head to the coast for fish and chips and a donut..............how very British LOL

I've done another couple of challenges over the weekend as I needed a couple more Father's Day cards. The first is from Friday Sketchers Sketch 3

and Stamp Something whose remit was The challenge this week is "Faux Something." We'd like to see you fake us out with your clever faux creations! There are so many different techniques out there, give one a try. Check out the samples made by our design team for some inspiration. We tried faux stitching, faux silk, faux leather, faux linen, faux ribbon and faux metal. My "faux something" are the chipboard letters spelling the word "DAD" They are cut from two layers of card topped off with a layer from one of the K & Co mat pads. The other papers are Three Bugs, page frill is Doodlebug and the star is Cherry Arte.

The next two cards are to pop round to the shop in the morning. Both images were coloured with my Prismas and Sansador and the little rugby player charm is made from shrink plastic. The papers and ribbon are all from my scrap box.
