Good morning all..... wow... think we in for thunderstorm AGAIN... sky nearly black, never mind grey.. not boding good.

So onto today card.  This is Devilish Donna (named after our DTM).. think her halo slipped a little :).. hehe.
I am still loving these images, and still working my way through them... and still spoilt for choice..    I had actually coloured up another Gothiz girl.. but... right at the last minute, caught my black copic just on the edge of the finished image... and i tried for hours to remove it... nope not happen.... so that went in the gash... :( done a particularly good job on the rest too... and as per n ormal had only printed one out.. so couldnt even do decoupage on it... oh well.... back to D. Donna.  We are following a sketch this week, so easy peasy, as takes all the hard work out of thinking lol... and Im always up for saving a bit of brain power LOL... Don't forget to check out the other DT members cards too... they are totally awesome.
The challenge can be found HERE... at Kenny K's KGCB...   

And you can find her HERE at the KK shop.

Have entered this for the Stampitcrazy   challenge blog  which is Girls with Attitude.. well I reckon Devilish Donna is not the angel she looks ! so.. hopefully it will be ok to use this image.
I've forgotten to note the numbers again lol... bet you getting used to this. :)All the papers are by SU, and as for the sentiment stamp... I didnt even know I had this.... so when having a sort out... was well pleased to find it... as just what I needed at the time.
So I hope we will have a huge response on the challenge this week, as I am looking forward to seeing all your wonderful cards.  Have a good Sunday... and I will be back soon x hugs J x

(and seems to be there most of time) one way or another LOL.. luckily its only Ruby (granddaughter) I lost... the dog still ok :) so least one of my DD's will be happy hehe...not saying which one , mind.   Anyway, because Ive been busy with said child and dog.... not had time to blog... or make cards ..... dont know how everyone else manages it .... but then again...

Simon Says GDT Challenge

Good  morning to all... Well the sun has FINALLY shown its face., and about time too. :)
Some of you might remember me saying a little while ago I had something simmering away on the back burner, well I can reveal what it is today ..... As I have the pleasure of being asked to be on the Simon Says Challenge blog, as a Guest Designer for a month, and the first challenge for me to join in ... which is starting today... was... to MAKE A GIFT

I found the instructions for this lovely little gift box/bag.... on the WOJ tutorial blog, and thought I would have a go.. and it was so easy (me and instructions don't usually get along lol)....
I have used my faithful Kanban cd again,to cover the gift bag, and used a Tilda stamp to decorate the front , added some ribbon and a rose to decorate, and .. some goodies ... and gift complete.

So I hope you will join in this weeks challenge at Simon Says....  and... make a gift..... it can be anything... candle, box, bag... etc etc... If you pop over there and see what the other DT girls have made, (WOW)... they have come up with some fabulous ideas and inspiration. There is also a prize of $25 to spend in the shop too... so.. hope you will join in the fun.... and I cannot wait to see what you make.
Have a fabby day all... hugs J xx

And now for something completely different !

Was asked to make a card for a baby shower... bit of a rush lastmin.com card... so went for something that did not take too long in colouring up with copics, and its been far too long since I done a bit of decoupage, so thought it would make a nice change, (plus I can cut out and watch tele at the same time !!! lol... )

The baby on its way, has the nickname Pip, and I was asked if I could put that on a bib or something... so found this image and had a play around with adding names etc.  
The papers are from Kanban cd, which is seeing more light of day than any  other cd I own... mind you I a sucker for gingham and flowers lol (not so you noticed).... so this is a perfect cd for me.
Well this is short and sweet today, as ... the combine harvesters are out now, in the field opposite my house, and... I had a little visitor last night.... checking out the new accomodation... well... I got news for him and his family.... I off spraying every nook and cranny with 'Spider stop'...  (cant see it working, but its worth a try)... small house/garden spiders... are NOT my fav creatures to say the least as scared of the stupid things.... but dirty great big hairy Harvest Spiders, with hob nailed boots on area  definate no no...    I LOVE living in the countryside... until this time of year.... ... so with trembley hands  .. I off upstairs to do all windows, doors, and anything else that doesnt move... or does if I find the 'tracker' they sent out last night... obviously, the hairspray trick doesnt work !!!!!

Will be back tomorrow with hopefully another card.. and no doubt it will be back to the copics !! unless of course Mr. Spider has settled in my craft room... in which case.... you might have to wait for said card lol... have good evening all.. hugs Jx x

Elizabeth Bell card

Daisy. by Eliabeth Bell, how cute is this, I really   love this image. Its also such a joy to colour up.  Decided to go for pinks and blues and wanted  to use my new Wild Orchid flowers, as felt they would go well with the image.  Have kept the layout quite simple on this one, but have added lots of little pearls in Daisys hair, and on the ribbon.  I wanted the main aim of this card to be the colouring, as Elizabeth is having a DT call.  details on side bar.

Papers used mostly SU, and the gingham is from the Kanban cd. (again) lol  ribbon, charm and pearls from stash. copics used... and sorry... forgot AGAIN.. to take note... but... in my defence your Honour... I have been pretty poorly this week, and really didnt think I would even get around to doing this card in time for the 'call'.  I think I am cutting it fine, as I believe it ends this evening...
Toothache still bad, but not as bad as was... but oooooh Im sick of pain now...
Hope you all have a fabby weekend... Im off now to finish a project I started over a week ago   so much for trying to get ahead with my DT work lol.... lastmin.com as per usual.
xxx hugs Jackie xxx

Last GD card for PT.

Well that 4 weeks come round quickly .. so this is my last card as GD for Papertake... They are this week looking for 2 more GD's for the next 4 weeks, so ... join in this weeks challenge, put GDT after your name, and it could be you. !  I have had great fun over there with the girls, and would like to say thank you for putting up with me :)
The challenge for this week is............ Old, new, borrowed or blue.... and you can interupt that how you wish....

I just went for a blue card... as already had this Mo Manning image coloured up ready,
(not at my best at mo as still suffering dreadfully with raging toothache, but am on antibionics now... so hopefully the infection will clear up quickly, the pain will go and I can have the damn tooth filled).. as for painkillers... not sure how many packets of them I taken !!!! ,  now three nights of not sleeping due to pain..so I am totally shattered, and not in best of moods) !  sorry I digress lol... (feeling bit sorry for self, can you tell?)

So back to card... Bronte and Louis, can be bought HERE, I dont think I ever made so many male cards until I started buying from Mo.... there is no stopping me now lol.. think I will have to find another outlet to start selling all the cards I making as they are piling up..(needless to say... most of them with no inserts at minute lol)..  I REALLY MUST do them !!!!  Maybe after a good nights sleep :)

So... enough of me waffling on..... get your posteriors over to Papertake.... join in the fun, and dont forget... GDT if you want a chance to be on the team for a month.  Me... Im off to pastures new... as Guest Designer for...
Simon Says ...   :)... feel like a little nomad... lol... will tell  you more on that when sort myself out.. but it will be from next week...

Have a good day.. and get creating.... :) ... hugs Jackie... (could do with some of them myself just now) lol xxx

Tis Early !!

And  Ive got a raging toothache !!!! grrrr... appointment not til Wednesday, but not sure I can hold out that long.. two nights ... 2 hours sleep each night not good.  Agony is the best word to describe it ! grrrr. (never been so keen to get to the dentist.... Im normally TOTALLY panic striken.. but... pain is taking over fear very very quickly). !

So onto todays card.. Had this lovely image by Mo Manning, called Bismarck, which  can be found HERE, already coloured up, so gave me a bit more time to play around with my MS board... and cutting out some different shapes.
Done the 'Out of the box' technique on the image, as THAT bone is just enourmous lol...  what a lucky dog :) bet my girly wishes she could have a pressie that size. lol  Snowflake covered in crushed glass... can never remember the correct name for it ! and it is very early lol.. so thats my excuse.
Going to love you and leave you .... as need to take MORE painkillers... and then see if I can grab an hours kip. (although I somehow doubt that very much). 
Hope you all have a good day... hugs Jackie x

Pennys Challenge Blog

Think we in for a huge thunder storm in a mo... so I best get this sorted quick sharp.

The theme for the challenge over at Pennys this week is.... Anything Goes... so how easy is that?  ~So no one got any excuse that they cant think of what to send in LOL.
 I have used another Kenny K image, just because..I love working with them. This one is called Lady Raven, and can be found HERE, at Kennys Download2 Shop.
Usual story... coloured with copics, used papers from stash, made a buckle from my SU slot punch.. (took a couple of line up attempts, but got there in the end, threaded 3 pieces of ribbon through and hung a little charm.  I wanted to try and soften this one, and not go for total Goth... hence the rose pattern paper, and a few sparkly bits.
So I hope that some of you will pop over and join in the fun at Pennys, as I cant wait to see what creations you come up with this week.  Enjoy your evening.
Hugs Jackie x
