Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Just a quick post from me today just to share a picture of the pumpkin I made and my 'babies' ready for the Trick or Treaters to come round:-

 

Woodi and Saren were really impressed - not! but Saren (Shih Tzu) did get a kiss and a stroke off of a couple of little tots that were at the door!

 

Pleased to say that most of the sweets went so not much temptation left at home. The leftovers will be going to work with me tomorrow!

 

All quiet here now and I'll be back soon with a card or two!

 

See you soon

Autumn Birthday - Fall Teddy Bea

Hello Everyone

Hope you are all well - It's nearly the end of October already, how time flies - soon by the Festive Season!!

Anyway for the mo we are still in Autumn, although now the clocks have changed it seems like the middle of winter already. It's one of the girls at work's birthday so as we are in October I decided to use this super cute Fall Teddy Bea, just perfect for this time of year. And my chance I had the perfect paperpad to use too - New Leaf from First Edition. Here she is what do you think??

I was thinking to start with that there maybe too much brown in the colouring, but now it's put together I think it looks quite good. I hope Lisa likes her too!

Right I'm off now to plan my pumpkin design!

See you soon

Songbird Challenge #27 Dancing Queen

Hello Everyone!

Hope you are all well - today sees the start of the new challenge at the Songbird Challenge blog and it is my first for this Design Team. Before I get on to the card I've made let me explain how Songbird works. Every challenge has a theme which is based around a song title or lyrics from a song.

My crafty buddy Karen has given me the additional challenge of trying to get in as many A-ha or Adam Ant songs as I can in these challenges (as they are two of by all time favourites)! However not for this challenge - as our theme this time is ........'Dancing Queen' and it is sponsored by:-

Here's my card and I've used the Clarinet image from Saturated Canary - get the music theme I did there!!!!

 

I hope you like her! Now what can you create using the theme of Dancing Queen?? Come and join in the challenge at Songbird and see if you can become our Star Songbird or a Top Tweet!

 

Our next challenge will be in two weeks time.

 

Hope to see you again very soon

Garden Bear Birthday card

Hi all

I had an un-expected day at home today, sore and annoying mouth and have got to go back to the dentist tomorrow - that is a lot sooner than I expected! So how did I fill my time, well in Crafty Corner of course!

At last my news pens arrived today, which is a bit of luck! They came from France that's why they took so long! Here is a card I've made for Brent's Dad for his birthday - he is a keen gardener so I thought it was Ok to include a few flowers!

I much prefer this colour of bear! Still need to practice this fur lark though - Maybe one day I'll get the hang of it! I hope you like him, please let me know what you think.

Off to the dentist bright and early in the morning, depending on what they do depends on if I make it into work or not - Hopefully I will! I'll keep you posted.

Catch you soon!

Happy Beer Day....

Hi all

Hope you are all having a good weekend - I'm still suffering with a painful mouth at the mo, might need another trip to the dentist sooner than I wanted!

Anyway on to the important stuff and here is the card I've made for my Dad's birthday which is next weekend. I've used a different bear this time from Di's Digi Downloads, still trying to practice my fur colouring!

How do you think the fur colouring is coming along?? Still waiting for my other colours to arrive - they are taking forever!

I'm sure Dad will like this, now to try and think of what present to get him!

Catch up with you all again soon!

You can't have one without the other so......................

................Here is Teddy Bo with a Christmas Wreath!

I posted Teddy Bea yesterday. This is another one that I coloured last weekend and I managed to put it together tonight, as Brent was a bit late home.

I thought I would try and make this Christmas card a bit more 'manly' so that I can use it possibly for Brent's Dad. I also was tried to use the new fur technique that I was talking about yesterday. So here he is:-

Thanks Karen for the tip on making the photos larger too!

What do you think - cute isn't he! Still practicing on the fur (and still waiting for some new pens to arrive - hurry up post!!)

Please let me know what you think, - I appreciate all your comments.

I have the day off tomorrow so I'm off to plan what I'm going to make when I get back from the dentist (dreading it :0( !!)

Teddy Bea Christmas Wreath

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are all Ok. I'm still getting over the news that I am now part of the Teddy Bo Design Team - going to take a while to sink in that one!

Anyway, this is a Teddy Bea card that coloured just before I became part of the DT and I was able to put the card together last night. Gave myself the night off from Slimming World as I'm still waiting to go to the dentist on Friday. I've been using my new Flexmarkers again to try and do the fur - what do you think?? I personally think that my colouring is better on the 'topper' only rather than the finished card but I stuffed up the topper by adding some stickles to the edge and it ended up looking pants (although it does photograph better!).

Watch this space in the next few days for Christmas Wreath Teddy Bo!

Let me know what you think, I appreciate all your comments

Thanks for having a look

Teddy Bo & Bea New Release................

Hello Everyone

I have some exciting news......I was chosen to be a Guest Designer for the new Teddy Bo & Bea releases! How cool is that - and now for some even better news..........I'm now on the main Design Team, Whoop Whoop!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very thrilled and looking forward to doing some more new designs very soon.

So today sees the release of some new Teddy Bea and Bo designs and you can find them all over at the Teddy Bo store....

Here are the cards I have done:-

 

I've been trying out my new Flexmarkers and tried to do a new fur technique (thanks for the tips Karen!). What do you think?? I'm not sure about her darker fur so I have just ordered some new lighter colours.

Teddy Bea - Shopping Daze

Hello Everyone!

Oh look its me again and with another of my favourite little bears - Teddy Bea! This time I've used Shopping Daze Teddy Bea on a card for a work colleague who is 40 today. I've been informed that she likes shoes and bags, so I went with the bags!

Here she is:-

Gone a bit girlie with this one and used a lilac and pink combo - do you like her? I bet you can't tell what paperpad I've used lol! I hope Sarah likes her too - Happy 40th!

Another weekend is almost upon us I wonder what this one will bring!

Catch up with you all soon

Believe in your dreams - sleepy Teddy Bea

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all well - I had a traumatic morning as I had to visit the dentist! I was very brave but do have to go back in two weeks time, lets see if I can be a bit braver then haha!

Anyway onto today's crafting and surprise surprise here is Teddy Bea! I'm looking forward to the launch of the new images next Tuesday 08th October - I may just have to purchase a couple!

Here is Teddy Bea in her pj's (girl after my own heart I do love my pj's!)

 

Used a bit of a different colour combo today - what do you think? I quite like it! And on the subject of colouring I tried to give her the look of having a bit of a fat tummy has this worked?? Found the perfect sentiment to go with it too!

 

Don't think we have any plans as such for the weekend (apart from getting our interweb connection fixed - using 3G has been a right pain this week, can't wait to have broadband back!!) so maybe I'll be able to squeeze in a bit of crafting.

 

Have a good weekend everyone

 

Lisa xx
