Alf's Back !

Hi Everyone,

Alf is back from his little break ;) so I have another couple of cards to share with you

This is 'Dad's Shed - Alf' I coloured him with Promarkers and matted onto brown card, the paper is from The Works and so is the wooden lettering.

This is 'Sports Car Alf' again coloured with Promarkers, matted onto black card. The sentiment is also from DSB from the 'Large Family Sentiments' set.

I'm off to spend the morning in my craft room now before our grandaughter comes at lunchtime, she is spending the night with us tonight as her mum is having a night out :)

Thats all for now,

Sketchy Snowman

Hi Everyone,

I'm back with a couple of Christmas cards both made using 'Sketchy Snowman' from Digistamp Boutique.

On this one I left it CAS by printing it to fit the whole front of the card, the sentiment comes with the image. I love the font. He is coloured with Promarkers and I have added Stickles to their hats and the snow.

For this version I used papers from a Dovecraft paper stack 'Merry and Bright' which I bought at least 2 yrs ago for my Christmas cards and then never even opened it. I coloured the image to match and matted onto bright blue and pink card from Papermill. Added stickles as on the previous card and some Clearly Besotted snowflakes with some pink gems from my stash.
I'm pleased with both versions of this card, I can't decide which I prefer but I think probably the CAS one.

Thats all for now,

Tennis Ralph

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well, I am getting to spend lots of time crafting lately so it's all good :)

While Alf is off on his little break hehe his cousin Ralph has come to visit ;)

The card I'm sharing today uses 'Tennis Ralph' from Digistamp Boutique

I found a little piece of cloud paper in my snippets box which I thought would be ideal to go with this image, I have coloured him with Promarkers. The scrim mesh is from my stash and the sentiment comes with the fab image.

That's all for now, I will be back later with a couple of  Xmas cards

Jolly Snowman

Hi Everyone,

Thank you so much for all the well wishes regarding my MRI, I'm happy to say I survived it without any trauma ;) It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be as it was feet first so I only went in up to my chin so my claustrophobia could cope with that but Boy was it noisy !  Happy for it to be out the way, now I just have to wait 2 weeks for the results.

I thought I would give you a rest from Alf for a day or so just in case you don't love him as much as I do heehee and share a Christmas card today. This is using 'Jolly Snowman' from DSB

Again quite a CAS card, I matted onto Forest Green card and just added a wooden snowflake button that I bought on Ebay. The image was coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment is also DSB.

I would like to enter this card in the following Challenges:

Happy Little Stampers October Christmas Challenge - ATG
DigiStamp Boutique Oct Customer Competition - ATG
The Holly & the Ivy Christmas Challenge #16 - ATG

Thats all for now,

More Alf !

Hi Everyone,

I have been up since the crack of dawn today, I have my MRI at teatime tonight so I couldn't sleep for worrying about it :( To say I'm petrified is an understatement Lol I get really claustrophobic so I'm not sure how I am going to get on but it's got to be done so time to don my big girl's knickers and stop being a wuss....

Anyway as I have been up for hours I have got a few more cards done so I thought I would share 2 cards this morning...both featuring my favourite character Alf from DigiStamp Boutique.
The first one is a little bit out of season as it is BBQ Alf  !

I made quite a CAS card as I wanted the image to be the focal point, I coloured him with Promarkers and matted the panel onto red card. The sentiment is computer generated.

This card is using 'Cheers Alf' again coloured with Promarkers, I inked around the edges of the image and sentiment with Stormy Sky Distress Ink. The papers are The Lovely Studio (formerly Pink Petticoat) I faffed with this card for ages trying to decide what if any embellishment to add, I ended up adding 3 red gems from my stash.

That's all for now

Weightlifter Alf

Hi Everyone,

A bit later than planned but I'm finally here with a card I made using 'Weight lifter Alf' from DigiStamp Boutique, I absolutely love the Alf images and I have made quite a few cards with different versions of him lately. They are so much fun to colour.

The background card is Anna Marie Designs and I added a strip of black card across the middle, the sentiment is computer generated and Alf is coloured with my Promarkers and then just matted onto black card.

I am entering this card into the following Challenges:

Seize the Birthday - Script or Text Background


Thats all for now

Spring Honey

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you are having a lovely weekend, we had rain most of the day yesterday so I spent the whole day in my craft room....Bliss :)

I have a girly card to share with you this morning using 'Spring Honey' from DigiStamp Boutique

Isn't she cute ?! I coloured her with Promarkers, the papers were from a pad I bought in The Works years ago and I have a few snippets left. I used a Tonic punch for the flowers and an XCut punch for the tiny butterflies.
The sentiment is Clearly Besotted and I confess it was meant to be stamped directly on the image but I mucked it up so I restamped it on a little strip of card and glued it over the top ;) A few pearls from my stash for the flowers and thats it.
