Birdbrain Brew

Hello everyone :o)

I was asked for a beer or lager themed card for a woman... ummm... ummm.... I couldn't find anything that wasn't totally aimed at men. I'd just about given up, when I spotted this image on the lovely Jo's blog and thought it might just work!


Do you think it worked?  It's my first 'Birdbrain' image, but won't be my last... aren't they fun?

Purple thanks - Craft Mojo DT

Happy Saturday :o)

Here's my Craft Mojo DT card, using some gorgeous new goodies from the Craft Mojo shop... Please excuse the dodgy photo - the card base is made from lilac card and the camera just doesn't seem to like it!


I cut the Paper Smooches 'thanks' die 3 times, stuck them together, and coated the top one with Wink of Stella... and then added some of those fab Doodlebug sequins - it's the first time I've used these and I really love them!

I'm entering my card for the following challenges
Less is More - 3 of something (sequins)
Bunny Zoe's - monochrome
Everybody Art - non cute card
Simon Says - glitter it (Wink of Stella on 'thanks')

Hubby's going out tonight, so I've planned an exciting evening of pizza and colouring my hair lol... Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

Crafty Little Fairies - down on the farm

Hello everyone :o)

It's time for a new challenge at Crafty Little Fairies, and this week our theme is 'down on the farm'... I went with a duck, which I think is ok... well, Old MacDonald had one, didn't he?  It was a good excuse for me to use Quacky again anyway.  We're sponsored by Little Claire with a lovely stamp for our lucky winner.


I've used my fab new Doodlebug and MFT goodies that arrived this week from Craft Mojo... love Doodlebug colours, they're so cheerful!

Items Used
Digi stamp - NEW Birthday Quacky - DigiStamp Boutique
Colouring - copics
Papers - Doodlebug Springtime - Craft Mojo
Doodlebug Textured Card Assortment - Craft Mojo
MFT Die-namics Blueprints 12 and 13
Paper Smooches Birthday Words dies - Craft Mojo
Doodlebug Enamel Sprinkles in Bubblegum & Tangerine - Craft Mojo
Wink of Stella Brush Glitter Marker - Craft Mojo

I'm entering my card for the following challenges
Simon Says - glitter it (Wink of Stella on the balloon)
Divas by Design - flower power
Cards in Envy - anything goes with an A2 card
Card Mania - something new (nearly all new stash)
Kitty Bee - things with wings

We're popping out to buy Dex something sporty, to wear to school for Sport Relief tomorrow... Morgan's got rugby shirts and stuff so he's sorted, but Dex has no interest in sport at all so he doesn't have anything.  Fingers crossed we can find a football shirt or something for him!

Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

Hello everyone :o)

I'm here with my DT card for Little Miss Muffet, and I've had a go at this week's challenge theme on the LMMS blog, which is doilies & lace... hmmm... Well, I don't mind lace - I use that occasionally, but I never use doilies.  I even bought some heart shaped ones especially for this theme, but just couldn't make them work for me, so here's what I ended up with....




I thought I'd hate it, but it didn't turn out too bad, did it?

Doodle Flowers - Craft Mojo DT

Hello everyone :o)

Just a quick post, as I've not been able to get blogger to do anything all day, so I'm just hoping this will post!

Here's another Craft Mojo DT card - I've been playing with my Jane's Doodles stamps again, along with one of the fab new Happy dies from WPlus9.


I've coloured the flower with copics and then covered it in Wink of Stella - love this stuff, but I wish my photos picked it up better!

I'm not sure whether I can leave comments yet, but I'll try!  Hope you have a lovely evening :o)
