Creative Card Crew news

It's with a heavy heart that I step down from the wonderful CCC team, for now. I have been overwhelmed with commitments for a while now, and I only seem to have been getting deeper and deeper down. Mari. The beautiful lady who owns the challenge blog, has been a great boss, and I look forward to rejoining the team down the track,

It's onwards and upwards though, so pop back through the week, as I hope to have some projects to show you :)

Lime Tart Marker Monday

Geez I'm late for this one, it's almost time for another marker Monday post (pop back next Monday for that one)

But head on over to the lime Tart Zest blog for my marker Monday post. I created a card for my daughter's 6th birthday :)

Lime Tart - Marker Monday

It's Monday somewhere, right? ;)

Creative Card Crew #44 - Things with wings

Welcome back to another challenge at Creative Card Crew! We have Delicious Doodles as our sponsor. They have sooo many lovely images, and have generously offered a choice of 4 digis to the lucky winner this fortnight.

I have used the lovely hydrangea and butterfly image, and used my Martha Stewart Butterfly punch to add some extra butterflies. I wanted a feminine, floaty card :)

Please excuse the poor lighting!

We can't wait to see how you have been inspired this fortnight, so spread those wings and play along :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Creative Card Crew #43 - Down on the farm

Welcome to another challenge over at Creative Card Crew this fortnight! Our challenge this fortnight is "Down on the farm", and we are sponsored by the ever-wonderful Scrapping Center with a $15 gift voucher up for grabs!

Here is my card for the challenge, it's a birthday card for my spunky hubby who had a birthday this weekend just passed.

Like most people, my grandparents had a farm (E-I-E-I-O), and on that farm they had machinery (E-I-E-I-O) - okay, enough of that joke. Anyway, when I saw this Darkroom Door stamp, it struck me as perfect for this challenge, because my grandparents had an identical truck down past their wood-heap, next to the silos. By the time I was old enough to remember it, it was rusted out and rotting, but before the snakes really overtook it, we used to climb up into it and pretend we were driving. So whenever I see old trucks like this, it reminds me of my grandparents farm :)

We look forward to seeing your farm-related projects for this challenge. Thanks for stopping by!

Lime Tart - Marker Monday

So I am a little late with this post, but my health hasn't been great lately. I'm getting on top of it thanks to Mr Medication though, so fingers crossed I start mending soon :)

This is my card for Marker Monday over at Lime Tart Zest Blog

If you pop on over you can find out all the details for this card. There is also a brief bio, as we are introducing a different DT member every day, so you can meet the new team.

Creative Card Crew #41 - Baby girl or lots of pink!

Welcome to another challenge over at Creative Card Crew! We have a somewhat sentimental theme this fortnight, in honour of the arrival of Mari's beautiful little grand-daughter, so we want to see a card for a baby girl, or a card featuring lots of pink! We are very lucky to be sponsored by the ever-brilliant Scrapping Center, who have a $15 gift voucher up for grabs.

Here is my project for the challenge (Jenn, no peeking!!! Lol)

My card (or cards) this fortnight sort of incorporates both themes, as I gave birth to a beautiful little girl just over three months ago. We were very blessed to be spoilt with so many well-wishes from family and friends, including one of my Creative Card Crew teamies, Jenn, who spoiled me with this beautiful card, from across the pond :)

So of course, I HAD to create some thank-you cards, to show our appreciation. I would have loved to do Copic thank-you cards, but with around 20 to do, while juggling three small children, it just wasn't going to happen!

I have used a variety of pink coloured DSP, so that the cards were "same same, but different". The heart stamp is from Stampin' Up! (You Are Loved), and the sentiment is also Stampin' Up! (Teeny Tiny Sentiments - my go-to for most cards!). The cardstock and ink are Stampin' Up! Raspberry Ripple, from last year's In Colour release. I have finished off with a variety of pink and/or florally washi tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and we look forward to checking out your creations!

On your graduation

A non-DT card, a rare occurrence these days ;)

This card is for my sister, who has just completed her Certificate III in Visual Art Design. I was lucky enough to check out her exhibition, and was blown away by her artwork. She had used melted crayons, canvas and paint to create an abstract series entitled "The Seven Deadly Sins". It was really beautiful. I have used this gorgeous Saturated Canary image, as it was the most artsy one I had.

She is so much fun to colour! I was a little intimidated at first, due to the multiple layers of clothing, but I just can't wait to colour her up again, as I have so many more ideas!

The sketch is from Sketch Saturday.

Here are the links to the challenges I am entering:

Saturated Canary - Challenge 47: Celebration
Sketch Saturday - Week 266 (my second entry)

Thanks for stopping by, hopefully I will have a few more projects to post soon!

Creative Card Crew #40 - The Great Outdoors

Welcome to another fabby challenge over at Creative Card Crew this fortnight! We are after some outdoorsy inspiration, so would like to see you make an outdoors-themed project.

Our sponsor for the challenge is Crafty Sentiments Designs who have 3 digi images up for grabs!

Here is my project for the challenge. This little dude was such a pleasure to colour, and I imagine he is going to become a firm favourite amongst my collection :)

I have used Kaisercraft Hunt & Gather papers for the card, finished off with some washi tape and a clip.

We look forward to seeing your outdoorsy creations!

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
