Smitten–Sassy Cheryl

A sweet little card made with a Sassy Cheryl’s image called Smitten, she’s a little peach.

I embossed the card using my Cuttlebug and a sizzix embossing folder and used a First Edition designer paper to compliment the image.

Coloured with Copic Markers and finished with ribbon and lace and a bit of love.

Swinging by…

Another from the Sassy Cheryl digi stamps today,

I love her characters. this one is Swing me a Story Max.

I kept it plain and simple like yesterdays card but without the distressing, the embossed corner was made with my Scor-Pal (my favourite tool)

Coloured with Copic markers and Chalk pencils.

 

We are going to Jacks party at tea-time, can you believe he will be 4 years old on Tuesday, where did that last 4 years go.

Just A Little Hello

I bet you all thought I’d gone AWOL, truth is I came back from Peterborough and I just felt washed out, it was a long drive home and I was shattered.

So back to normal now hopefully and a new card to show you,

Just a Little Hello Maddie by Sassy Cheryl

Coloured with Copic markers and chalk pencils, sentiment printed onto the card along with the image then embossed at one corner, distressed edges then mounted onto a distresses ink card and a little bow and pearl to tie it all together.

 

Entered into the Hats On" challenge at Sassy Cheryl Challenge blog, I never win these things but it is fun trying.

You just have to love the expression on the dogs face, I coloured the image with Copic markers and chalk pencils and teamed it with Graphic45 paper.

the flowers are from Wild orchid and the pearls from Mei Flower 

I’m having an extra day off work, I thought with Monday being a bank holiday here in the UK I would take Thursday off work along with Chris, it will be lovely to have 5 days off together, we were hoping to get out today on our bikes but we have had every type of weather from Sunshine to hail stones so we decided against it.

We did however go and see about a new kitchen, but, I will keep that story for another day.

Come Here Often?–Sassy Cheryl's

Sometimes you stumble upon an image that you just have to have, this was that image for me.

Come here Often by Sassy Cheryl’s

It is one from the Noah collection which reminds me of Grandson Jack

 

I teamed it with a striped paper, a couple of ribbons and a button and twine.

I had great fun colouring this one with Copic Markers and Chalk pencils.

First Day at School

Such a big thing in a little child's life isn’t it? Out of the safety net that has led them through their life so far, i think it must be really daunting as well as exciting, I remember how tired my two were when they got home, full of chatter of what they had done that day. I also remember feeling quite lost without them and the constant check of time awaiting to go an pick them up from school.

First Day at School by Sassy Cheryl’s you’ll need to be quick to get him as he is in the bargain bin poor soul.

Coloured with Copic and Promarkers and a little bit of prisma pencils

The tape ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel I love it.

Scout Named Noah

We had a wonderful evening babysitting Jack and we took him over to see my Mam, he was in his Jimjams all ready for bed but he loves to visit her as not only is he the apple of her eye but he is totally intrigued with Jess her cat. We stayed for about an hour as that was as much as jess could put up with him as she is getting no younger and he has her scurrying from one room to another to hide from him.

I hurried back and got this card made, I think I have said before how much this character reminds me of Jack.

Scout Named Noah Digi Stamp from Sassy Cheryl 

The badge at the top is a real scout badge cut from my daughter scouting blanket Shhhhhhh don’t tell.

Noah and Patches–Sassy Cheryls

This little guy reminds me of my gorgeous Grandson Jack, he pulls his face just like this when getting his photo took.

Sassy Cheryl’s have some fabulous digi’s and this one Noah and Patches is just one of many

I know there’s a a saying that Blue and Green should never be seen unless another is in between so I reckon I can get away with this one, Ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel image coloured with Copic Markers and Prisma pencils. In case you are wondering what the sentiment is, I played around with a song from my childhood “Me and my Teddy Bear, have no worries have no cares, me and my Teddy Bea just play and play all day.”

Clowning Around

Did I ever tell you that I have a bit of a fear of Clowns? actually they can make me shudder, not sure why but they do.

......................................

A fun little image by Sassy Cheryl, Golfer Boy is a great image for the men with a little fun element to it, you just have to love those plus fours don't you?

Coloured with promarkers and teamed with some nature papers and a lemon ribbon oh yes and a big pearl for his golf ball.

Nature Lover Boy - Sassy Cheryl

I added a bit of sunshine in this card to warm us up now that winter is upon us lol!

I used Nature Loving Boy by the talented Cheryl Alger at Sassy Cheryls for my card and coloured it with Copic Markers, I teamed it with Bo Bunny designer papers a few buttons, ribbon and pearls and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Check out that ickle wormy bug on his trainers cute huh!

Nature Lover Boy can be purchased here

Unhappy Santa - Sassy Cheryls

When the very talented Cheryl Alger (artist of Sassy Cheryls) asked me to do a little project for her I jumped at the chance, I simply love her work, if you havent yet found her get on over there as you are missing out click here to be taken to her store.

I used the Unhappy Santa with gift and coloured it with Copic Markers, I used a deep Purple card and created the scene with white ink and sponging over torn paper then punched out a circle from scrap paper and sponged through the hole to make the moon, I dabbed the Ink Essentials white pen randomly across the sponged scene for snow and added a star with the came pen.

I added lots of crushed glass glitter for the snow topped roof and added the image seperatly with foam pads to make it a 3d effect.

Pop-Out Card - Challenge 34 - We Love Our Furry Friends

Challenge 34 - We Love Our Furry Friends

I had a bit of fun with this card and made it into a Pop-Out and not a Pop-Up card.

The image is Reindeer Pull by Sassy Cheryl the embossed background is a Cuttlebug Enbossing folder lots of Crushed Glass Glitter and a Stampin Up wheel stamp for the swirls.

Attention to detail...

I wanted to show you the mechanism to the pop out, it is a box but with and extra scored fold at two of the sides so it will work as a concertina, this means that it will still go into an envelope but it will pop out again when removed.
