C4E Recipe #10 - Colour recipe

Hello everyone :)
Sorry for the lateness of today's post I have been fighting a loosing battle with a headache today :(
This weeks C4E Recipe is a colour recipe we would like you to use Purple, Aqua and light green for your projects. Hop over to the C4E Blog to see the fabulous DT Gallery and enter this weeks challenge.

I was running late with my card this week so opted for a little 4x4" card. The DPs are Kaisercraft.

The bird is a Tim Holtz diecut painted with silver crackle paints, distress ink and a touch of stickles.
I have added stickles and Glossy accents to the DP and Wild Orchid flower.
Sorry for the short post today the headache is winning :(
Have a great weekend

C4E R#9 - Sketch Challenge

Hello Everyone :)

Someone stole February while I wasn't looking!! lol! We have had a birthday this week, my lovely mum had her non-birthday on Monday.....she's a leap year baby :)

It is the first C4E Recipe Challenge of the month which means we have a sketch for you to follow this week.

If like me you love sketches I have lots HERE for you to snag don't forget to tell everyone where you got it ;) and leave me a link to see what you created :)

The prize up for grabs this week is a choice of 3 C4E Digital Stamps and some fabulous examples from the design team in the DT gallery.

I've made another easel card this week. We had some beautiful entries to the Easel card challenge last week including some new "Twisted" easel cards I'd not seen before. I am going to have to have a go at making one now they look fun!

I am a bit disappointed with my colouring this week :( This lovely SWALK image was sent to me by Pinky and I've held on to it for my mums card for months. My mum loves a nice bubbly bath!

The Papers have newly arrived in the C4E Kitchen for me to play with. They will be available on the site just as soon as I stop stroking them lol!

Join us if you can this week we love to see all your fabulous creations!

Have Fun!

C4E R#8 - technique/ theme recipe

 Hello everyone :)

How has your half term been? We have had a busy week with one thing and another, poor Alix has come down with a tummy bug :(
The C4E crop was great fun on Sunday & I went to Stitches trade show on Tuesday which was good :)
Now it's Friday again and time for a new recipe on the C4E challenge blog.
This week we are sponsored by Deedee designs who are offering a fab $10 to spend in their store.
This weeks recipe is a technique recipe and we are asking you to make an easel card. If you have never made an easel card there is a quick tutorial on the C4E Cafe blog. As always the design team have made fabulous examples.

My card was made for Alix's 5th birthday at the beginning of the month.

The image is hAnglar stAnglar coloured with copics.

Not much else to say about this card lol! I did manage to get the third baby card done for Tuesday and was delivered to the new Great Grandaddy who was happy to share the latest photo's of baby Nathanael.

Have a great weekend

Where has this week gone? I've been a day ahead all week lol! The boys start half term today so it feels like a Saturday lol! But it's Friday and time for a new recipe on the Crafts 4 Eternity blog.

This week we have a fabulous prize from Crafty Sentiments up for grabs and of course the super talented DT gallery!

I didn't plan to make a card this week, I started another project but ran out of time to do it properly! I have a box full of unfinished projects lol!

The recipe this week is to include hearts, glitter and pins on your project. Like I need an excuse to use glitter lol! 

 I'm cropping this weekend :) as always I am soooooo behind lol! I've got some gorgeous new papers for the kits from the My Minds Eye Stella and Rose collection.

I'm off to take the boys into town to spend some of their Christmas vouchers!

Have Fun!

C4E Recipe Challenge #6 - Colour Recipe

Hello everyone:)

I hope you are all well :) I's sorry for not getting round to visit blogs recently it's been a manic week here with birthday parties, computer viruses, broken shoes and all sorts lol! 

We have a new recipe for you over on the C4E challenge blog this week is a colour recipe and we would like you to take inspiration from this yummy photo!

mmmmmm! love cupcakes!

My card this week is very simple as it's for hubby. He's not in to lots of fussy stuff on cards lol!

I printed some word art onto Bazzill Kraft cardstock added pink and brown cardstock, sewing, ribbon, charm and rose and I couldn't resist finishing it off with some Stickles although I think it probably would have been better without lol!

I've added lots of products to the sale section of the C4E website this week and there is 25% off selected signature kits too!

Have a great weekend!

Crafts 4 Eternity R#5 Sketch Recipe

Hello everyone :)

It's been another busy week here it was my youngest son Alix's birthday on Wednesday. Bless him he said he had an "awesome" birthday and it was the best birthday ever! He's 5! lol! I have my party planner head on at the moment so if it isn't Ben 10 themed I'm struggling lol!

We had a fantastic response to last weeks challenge! I guess Polka Dots are popular lol!

This week at the C4E Recipe Challenge we have a sketch for you to follow, the prize is 3 digital stamps from my store.

The  super talented DT girls have created some beautiful examples using the sketch.

This is the card that was sulking last week, I'm seeing a pattern emerging here, not sure that is a good thing lol! I don't think it is entirely over it's issues to be honest? ;)

The Image is from my fabulous DTeamie Pinky, thanks Hun I love them! :) 

Don't look too closely somehow I got ink where it shouldn't be!

 Ok, best get on with the party planning I have a house full of 4/5 yr olds tomorrow and lots of cleaning & decorating to do. Oh! Better do some food too! lol!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs
