Polar Bear and Ice!

Hi Everyone, my card today is for the Limited Runs FB page progressive challenge.  I think this bear is one of the cutest I've seen, but had to see him on/in some ice, hence the sentiment.

Polar Bear 3D'd - Limited runs

coloured with Ranger Pumice Stone, very watered down!

embossing folder - Crafters Companion

ice 3D'd- Laurie Furnell Hugware

Spectrum Noir TB3 - on snowflakes

Hi everyone my card today is for the Limited Runs FB Christmas challenge, where we're asked to make a Christmas card with any Limited Runs image, that's easy I have a few and decided to use 2 of them.

chicken / tree background - Limited runs

coloured in Photoshop CS6

Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff

star- Quickutz Die (SO Old!)

sentiment my own

bubble speech shape Photoshop

all cut out on Cameo 2

I'm not sure this chicken realises that chickens are Christmas dinners too LOL.

After I layered the chicken I noticed the shaping had made it a little off, I don't think the recipient will notice, not sure if she will even look at the front of the card? Just who it's from! I like to make her a funny card anyway.

Hi Everyone, a card I meant to enter the Limited Runs Progressive Challenge, but too late, I've made it with a couple of days to spare, I'm so pleased.  This was the perfect image for me lately LOL. I've made a start on Christmas cards so hope to post a sample of a few soon.

Flag bear

Hi Everyone, another quick post from me. I hope to be back in a little while to full time blogging? Apologies again for lack of commenting.

I just had to make this wonderful bear into a card. He looked like he was holding something, so, after colouring him with Distress Inks, I slit open just enough of his paw to hold the flag pole, which had been paper pieced and printed from Photoshop with the Welsh flag on it. I hope he gives you a smile. I just noticed it looks like I added the topper at a slant? It certainly didn't look like that when I made it! Perhaps my eyes need checking?

The bear is a progressive freebie from Limited Runs Digital Stamps for just a dollar you can join in.

Graduate

Hi Everyone, my card today for the Limited Runs Progressive Challenge where this month we had extra images, how generous is that?  You can enter the challenge by buying them for $1 - incredible.

On to my - NOT a card! for a change. I have a digital scrapbook page. I'm not sure if it will be accepted, but I had to use those images with the photo. (It was!)

The images reminded me that I had recently been sent a wonderful video of my GGNiece at play centre. BUT, I didn't have a photo, so I had to learn how to get a single frame from the video and convert to a photo, this is the one I chose. The scrapbook is a template I followed. I thought the title could be her in the future?

apples and worms - Limited Runs

scrapbook template - Aziko (too cute layout)

background number paper - Just So Scrappy Designs

all put together in Photoshop CS6

Get me out of here!

Hi Everyone, no! I didn't me for you to get me out, just the kitty that is on my card LOL.

This card is for the Limited Runs Progressive challenge  this is the image we were given to play with and I had fun playing with it too. I decided he was playing as a parrot! So I caged him and added a sentiment I thought would be fun.

 kitty playing - Limited Runs digital stamps

coloured in Photoshop CS6 and print and cut with

 the Silhouette Cameo, cutting 3 layers of the Kitty

and 3D layering the glued together layers.

adding Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pens to the "stand!"

background paper - Marisa Lerin Pixelscrapper

bird cage - Birds Cards free svg file, 

I added Uniball gold sparkle pen to give the cage a little gold sparkle.

The cage is layered 3 times on 3D dimensionals.

sentiment - my own computer generated,

 cut and layered then using a corner punch

you can see the layers in this photo and the curve of the cage.

And, as I am showing you a bird cage I thought I would show you a couple of visitors to our garden this week. We usually have these birds in the garden, but in a flock of about 15 of each - a definite NO! I rushed to get my camera as there were a number fighting to get at the feed and nuts, with at least 6 on the seeds and more on the nuts, when I had my camera ready they decided they had better fly into the nearby tree, so these are all I could get.

these are the Blue Tits

this is a Long Tail Tit, looking quite young and hanging on for dear life LOL.

Sheep counting!

Hi Everyone, my card today for the Limited Runs FB progressive, we were given this very expressive sheep to play with and I thought she was an old ewe, so she's forgotten how old the recipient is! hence the sentiment.

Hi Everyone, thank you for visiting when I have been such a bad blogger recently. Not my choice, but the worst flu I have had for about 30 years AND the first time I have had the flu vaccination - a link? 

Please accept apologies for not visiting your blogs and enjoying your beautiful projects. I won't be able to catch up, as I have to catch up at home on lots of things I've missed this last 5 weeks!

Anyhow my card today is for the Limited Runs progressive FB Challenge, we were given this cute little chappie and I decided to give him a background to sit in.

Caffeine Junkie!

Hi Everyone, do I need the caffeine! We have just cleared the attic, and it seems that my son has more up there than we do! It's a job trying to get him to throw things! Oh well.

The kitchen has had a clear out, so much china, there's only 3 of us and I am still holding stuff for the 20 odd we used to cater for when family came to stay with their little ones. The charity shops have had a field day. I may still get rid of more after the new kitchen is fitted and I start putting it all back and realising that I really DON'T need it. LOL. Everything is being delivered on the 11th and they start fitting on the 15th, so nearly at the end, of a LONG haul. THEN it's clear and paint each room. Hopefully we will be clear and finished before Winter so we can batten down the hatches and cuddle up warm and cosy and clean LOL.

Anyhow on to my card which started me moaning.

Hi Everyone, my card today is for the Limited Runs FB challenge and the Outlawz sketch challenge. I did something I have seen done, but never done myself. Will I do it again? mmmmmm not sure, it was fiddly to say the least, perhaps it was the design and the size of it. Perhaps better in paper or card for this project.

Anyhow here is my card.
