Clocks TMR

 Everyone, my DT post today is for 

The Male Room Challenge

My card today was fun to make and I even made up a "quote" on the front. I have lots of clock images in my files and this one had my attention, as did the Hickory Dickory Dock Nursery Rhyme. 

I took the clock and mouse into my die cutting machine, cutting 3 layers of each. I printed the frame background with the altered nursery rhyme I wrote, then stencilled the "wallpaper" background around the, can I call it a story? it was layered onto orange card to enhance just the sides. I layered the images and 3D'd the clock and mouse. The clock face and mouse eyes were covered with 3D glaze, (Love that stuff) and I added silver gel pen to the pendulum and the weights in the clock.

I copied the insert greeting from Aimeslee who gave me permission to use it. I used the same frame, from the front of the card, as a surround and found some clock hands to enhance it. I thought the greeting suited this card so well.

Crossword

Hi Everyone my card today is late for the

The Male Room Challenge 

I had so many ideas that I put off making my card until I decided which one - Wrong!

Anyhow last minute I thought of a crossword as I know a few men who spend their time with the daily newspaper doing their crossword. I made it up on an Excel word sheet and then transferred it to Photoshop, where I put it all together with background dp.  The pencils were then cut out on my Cameo and 3D'd onto the card. Here is the message in case you can't see it, On your birthday you need no clue, to know all good wishes are sent to you. Happy birthday.

Fly

Hi Everyone, it's ages since I did a post for Create with TLC and as Paulette is always so generous with her images and quotes I feel very guilty, so here is a card with not only a quote, but, also an image, both freebies recently. I felt they were meant to be matched? I hope you think you so too. (btw - the sentiment is straight, just the way the photo was taken!)
I haven't played at the Outlawz Sketch Challenge for a while either so two for one LOL.

Pig Cured!!

Hi Everyone, my card today is for one of my SiL's, she has been very poorly and in bed with the flu, so I thought I would cheer her up with a fun card.

I used the Cameo to cut out the pig, layered the head, nose, feet 3D, the rest as flat layers. I love how fine the eyelashes cut. Then cut some grass, added buttons on the nose and flowers to make it girly, then 3D gloss to make the shine on the eyes.

Pig is a freebie file from Cut files.com

grass is by Birds card

Pumpkin mouse

Hi Everyone, my second offering as October GD for Deedees Digis is from the October Digi of the Month, (you receive a freebie if you enter the monthly challenge) this is another great kit.  I decided as my it is my SIL's birthday I would make her a card with one of the the images. (if you have started reading this Anne, log out now! LOL)

Anyhow, I used the mouse on the pumpkin, there are super sentiments in the kit, so chose the "thinking of you" as we live a few hundred miles from each other, it's what I do on her birthday, as well as phoning of course.

I always take HOURS over my cards, and that is just deciding what to do and what to include. I look through my files usually putting a "search" through them with some sort of word, I go mad sometimes and just search with a number, it's surprising what comes up LOL. On this occasion a calender tag came up amongst other things, a gem of an idea sprang up and so this card was born.

Colouring in Photoshop then adding overlays, shadows and highlights. I fussy cut it all out and layered as you can see in the close up. I hope SIL appreciates the amount of work I did for her, I know she will, as she and I are still learning PS and talk about card making a lot.
