BearlyMIne Challenge 96

Good morning all from a fabby hot and sunny Kent... ooh I love this weather... and a good excuse NOT to do that swear word, called H....Work :) cos  it far too hot to be test driving a dyson around the lounge :) thats my excuse and I am sticking to it LOL.  I hope you are all getting a piece of the sunshine too :)

So... its that time again, my goodness this fortnight has shot by... I just don't know where my days go... and its challenge time (Team B this week),  over at BearlyMine Challenges, and its a favourite one for all of you that take part... its an.... ANYTHING GOES challenge :)

 

This was meant to have a 'new home' sentiment on it... as my DD has just moved into her first  own house :)  but looks like I need to buy a stamp .. oh dear.... and time run out before she was due at mine, before I could print one out... last min.com as per usual lol... and yes, I have known about the move for about 5 months LOL...   I did however find a Home sweet home stamp for inside... and yes, I forgot to take a picture of that lol..   Anyway, I thought this cute little Penny Black stamp was ideal, cos he looks right at home in that flower pot LOL..

I have used Spring Blossoms and Simply dots both by BearlyMine Designs... however, when I printed off the 'dot' paper,, I didnt check my settings properly ... opps so they are a bit distorted, but never to waste a print off... I decided to use anyway.. lol... well.. its different LOL...    flowers are all from stash, and the cute pink ones are actually buttons ... . 

Copics used to colour as always nowdays... (really must have a bash at water colouring again) :)... 

Right well.... back to look after my visitor now... fellow crafting friend here for few days :)... how much crafting we get done is another story LOL.... oh oh oh.... nearly forgot...... our fabby sponsers for this challenge are

On a roll.... well almost :)

Really 'pushing the boat out' :) scuse the pun... thought would have another go at 'my less is.....hard work' lol... I am really struggling with these LIM cards... but I am persevering at the moment.  Least I can still play with my copics :)

Have not only decided to try out new things re card design, but digging out my old stamps also.. bout time they earned their storage space :)

I have to say, that the colours are a lot more vibrant in real life, I should have taken a better photo and edited it better... oh well,, you get the 'drift'.... 

Copics used.  (just about most of what I got in the blue, blue/green spectrum .. just kept adding and playing, not that it shows here..

hugs Jackie x

A far cry from my 'norm'

I do hope that everyone is enjoying the beautiful sunshine at the moment :) Ive just popped in from the garden for 5 mins cool down and a drink... then Im back to make the most of  it while it lasts :)

I was set a challenge by a good friend of mine, after I complained I felt all my cards lately have been very samey samey.... and even I was getting a bit fed up with them, let alone anyone that pops onto my blog, so.... her challenge was.... and boy this this TOUGH for me.... no more than one D.P, ...... and a simple card. !!!

Ok.... so... thinking cap on... .brainache laters..... ;)...  and lots of touchy feely of nearby papers... lol.... I did actually cut one out ready to use... but wayhey..... I didn't use it :) get me... :)   I also thought it would be a chance to use an old stamp that hasn't seen the light of day in a long time. (probably because I find this particular one so hard to colour up).  Anyway.... this is what I came up with.... be interesting to hear your thoughts on this one, as, I did say... its way off course for me. (and yes , I did find it VERY difficult) !!!! lol

Copics used, (thank goodness she didn't tell me I couldn't use them either ! phew).
