Josh's other birthday cards!

Well, I showed Josh's card with the Kenny K image on...so here are another couple I had to make him....

the first was from my mum - I used a Dustin Pike image for this one - had it in mind to use for a while!

I then remembered this image from Bugaboo and thought I had to use that one too! - I didnt have another person to make the card from - so I made it from....Pickles and Popcorn (the cats), Gramarian and Yoda (the guinea pigs), Gwim Weaper (the lizard - say it out loud, it works better!), Da Beast (really cute and fluffy hamster), Cat Treat (a rescued hamster), Mina (rescue bunny) and Pleco and pals (fish).

I really enjoyed colouring in both of these images - they took a bit of doing, but they were great fun!

Thanks for popping by today

Get well Soon ELLA! - second post today!!!

Ahhhhh - one of the girls at work has had her tonsils out - and had a horrible time of it, bless her!  So we made her some cards! YAY!  Her mother-in-law works at my son's school and got a thank you card in July - it is still on her fridge!!

 Ahhhhh - Josh chose this image - from Dustin Pike - this is the third time I have used this one and I still love it!

 This card was from Josh and Dexter (our library dragon!  Go check him out, his link is in the sidebar!)

And have just entered this into Stamping Vacation's challenge to include an animal with unusual or non-furry skin!

 Close up of flowers - cut these using my ecraft - and the little swish!  They are all from the standard design card that comes with the machine!  Used a glitter sakura and then used glossy accents over the top to make them look like gems!

 And took this picture to put inside the card to show Ella how to display it! 

Digi-doodles have a challenge this week to 3D it!
Paper Pretties would like to see an animal on the cards this week - hmmm is a dragon an animal????
Stamping Vacation want to see an animal you wouldnt want running through your house - well, if a dragon is an animal then I dont want it running through our house - not that this one looks like he could run anywhere!
Creative Card Crew would like to see flowers this week and the Sisterhood of Crafters want to see 3 flowers!
Incy Wincy have an anything goes challenge this time!

 And this is an image from Bugaboo!  I was SHOCKED to discover that you no longer have to eat jelly and ice-cream but rather toast - no kidding!  It gets the scabs to come off - errrghhhewww!

Bugaboo have an anything goes challenge this week - so thats cool! 
Other Lovelies - want us to use a digi image this time for their Thoughtful Thursdays Challenge

Would like to link BOTH of these cards up for Creative Inspiration's Get Well challenge! 

Phew - thanks for popping by!

Mo Manning, Doodle Palace, Dustin Pike and a quilt update!

This was scraping in under the wire!  This is my entry to Doodle Palace challenge - which was to show more than one score...ok, I did say it was a quick make! Did it in my lunch break!  I just really didnt want to let the girlies down!

And covered by the flap is this fabby Mo Manning image!  This is one of my fave images - just makes me laugh so much!

The flap is held shut with a funny paperclippy thing - got a box with them in from Tesco!

These were the cards that my son's class mates made for Delia.  There was an appeal over on Dustin Pike's site and he offered some lovely owl images for the cards.  These have been sent over to Delia...ooo name check for the school - Raphael Independent School in Hornchurch!

And this final pic is an update for the girlies over at Order of the Opus Gluei - I took part in their soup and nuts challenge a while ago.  The idea was to talk about something you were starting (the soup!) and something you had finished (the nuts!).  I started this quilt...here are the triangles which are now all made (just have to do the smaller ones...and everything else!).  My finished was a homemade carrot and coriander soup.  Someone asked for the recipe....some carrots (quite alot if you want alot of soup!) and some coriander (not so much!) - some veggie stock.  mmmmmm - thats it really!  Oh and some onions!  If you feel like putting them in!  hee hee!

Gotta go and do some more work now!

Moving Home Kit

This is my housemoving Kit!  I just love this Dustin Pike image - the dragon makes me laugh everytime!  With his teddy....so funny! 
It may not be clear in the second pic, but this contains some little individually wrapped teabags, some "straws" of coffee, sugar sachets, some prewrapped biscuits, a pack of tissues, a pack of wipes, a little keyring gift and a small pack of sweets.  Yes - they all fit in, even though the box is small!

Ok - did this specifically for the Sir Stampalot and Floral Fantasies challenge.  The challenge was "moving" to be interpreted in anyway!  Of course, I went plain and simple!  It's to celebrate Sir Stampalot moving to new premises soon!

Ooo just realised I link this up to a couple more challenges....use up your stash - a new blog not limited to papercrafts but not excluding - I am claiming the papers and the image on this one.  The theme was to take inspiration from a pink cushion - not too good at frilly - and dont think my dragon is either - so am claiming the colour theme of pink and green - yes its tenuous!  

And also Saturday Spotlight - bigger is better - this image is MEANT to overlap the top of the box!!!!  Yeah, right!  LOLX

Ok - gonna go and do some patchwork now - yep I got a kit!

thanks for looking

Appreciate a dragon day!!!

Sorry about the pictures - couldnt decide which was the best!
Love this Dustin Pike image - and the quote seemed very apt.
And to explain the title of this post - it was Appreciate a Dragon Day so KLStampin n Scrappin decided to celebrate in style!  Their challenge this week was to include a dragon or reptile. 
Create4Fun had a sketch to follow - it looked so nice and easy - but sometimes those are the hardest!  Lolx
Thanks so much for looking
