Stop a moment

Bugaboo digi: JJwrench

Good Morning

At the Outlawz Colour Challenge this week they had this very striking inspirational photo of Johnny Depp with some lovely manly colours with the challenge to make a male card. Though the DT have some great maritime cards I thought I want to do something different. Something more for a handy man. I had this digi now for quite a while and just did not had time to play with it. I used a bit of brown chalk for the distressing to give it a bit of dirty look. In my stash I had this pliers charm and though it will do for the finishing touch.

Challenges I'm joining:
The Outlawz Tuesday Colour Challenge
Dude Time Doodles DtD - Use two shade of blue
Tuesday Alchemy #30 - Anything goes

Have a lovely day!

It is your birthday soon

Good Morning

Our first spring rain has arrived, though our temperatures also dropped with about 10° C. This morning it was a challenge to take a proper photo since the light is very poor. Yesterday I just had this mojo to make this maritime card with Edwin Hangin from the Magnolia series. I've found these very nice scrapbook papers and I had the embellishments in my stash. I've used Sweet Sketch Wednesday's sketch to put all the elements together.

Challenges I'm joining:
Sweet Sketch Wednesday # 170 - Sketch
Cards und More #64 - Maritime
Papelito's Stamp #10 - Anything goes
Crafty sentiment 4/9 - Male Card

Burn the Candles!

 My project

 A close-up.

Stella Says Sketch #SSS118

Good day
This is a digi from Bugaboo and somehow when I saw the sketch two weeks ago I thought this will do in black and white. Though my black and white papers are very limited and has big detail on it and this time I looked for something more elegant. I played with different white papers, which can be seen on the close-up. I used a cuttlebug swiss dots on the lower white and then I added pearl paint on the embossed dots. I've tried to stamp swirls from Inkadinkado on the top part with some clear glitter heat embossing and I used a Fiskar border punch on the corners with some swirls. I've coloured the image with H2O pencils and then I've added some glitter on the star and triangle. The sentiment is from Facebook and somehow it is true....Celebrate everyday, since everyday is special.

Challenges I'll be joining:
Stella Says Sketch SSS118 - Sketch
The Craft Place Challenge  - Black and white
Catch The Bug - September Anything Goes
The Ribbon Blog Girls - Ribbon and Pearls

A new adventure awaits....

Kenny K freebie for September

Sketch by Jackson's Digital Challenge

Good Day

In a previous post I have mentioned that our school year starts in January, but nothing prevent me to get a head start on it. So, I thought I'll join in the fun with few challenges with this September freebie from Kenny K and I had a friend of mine's daughter in mind when I created this. She starts her school career next year, from there my sentiment: A new adventure awaits you. The papers are from the grade school stack with glitter and foil from DCWV, ribbon from my stash as well as the foil crayon sticker.

Challenges I'm joining:
Jackson's digital Challenge #20- Anything goes with the option of sketch
Kenny K Krafty Krew #109 - Back to School
Incy Wincy Design 3/9 - Back to school
One Stitch at a Time #129 - Use a digi
Digi haven September challenge - Anything goes

Different way of back to school

Changito with his computer

Sketch from Sunday sketch and stamp

Good Day
This is one of those haunted colour combo's. With us, exiting winter we still have all these beautiful fruit in our markets and the colour sure suite spring too. Our school year do not start in September, but in January so this is a head start for next year's back to school and I opted to play with a more modern version of back to school since almost every second person has a "kindle" or access to e-books through smartphones, Ipads and computers. This is Changito at Home from Stampendous Cling Stamp, which I coloured with H2O pencil and cut out and used 3D foam glue. The back designer paper is from Trend line and I used an arrow Cuttlebug emboss folder for the embossing. The centre paper is from DCWV's for the boys stack. Border punch used is from Upikit.

Challenges I'm joining:
Sunday Sketch and Stamp #121 - Sketch
Shelly Images - Colour combo
Digistamp4Joy #49 - Back to School
Catch the bug - Recipe Challenge - 3 colours (yellow, orange, red), 2 buttons, 1 ribbon
Craft your Passion #125 - Emboss it

Thank you and have a bright weekend.

Fishing Bear

 Fishing bear from Penny Johnson

Sweet Sketch Wednesday

Good Morning

My first time to use this clear stamp from Penny Johnson distributed by Stampavie. He is such a cutie. The designer paper is from Trend line distributed by Kars. I've coloured the image with H2O pencils and in my stash I had these fish beads that I added as embellishments. I did not add any sentiment since it can go for either a young boy or an older fisherman.

Challenges I'm joining:
Sweet Sketch Wednesday #169 - Sketch
Stampavie and more #175 - Animals
Incy Wincy # - Frogs n tails and puppy dog tails
Hooked on Crafts #24 - Cards for Men

The cardstock base is from Mahé and the designer paper is from M&W. I've used a fineliner in green and a white gelpen for the faux stitching effect.
