Aud Sentiments ADULT!

Lol - did that title make you come take a look?  Over at Aud Sentiments our challenge is to create and ADULT Valentines' card.  We have been sponsored by Sassy Stamps - so sexy!

This is my first attempt at colouring Black Hair - I asked my son's friend what colour to use!

I am so chuffed how it came out!  And surprised too!

Just have to hope Hubby doesn't see this on my blog before he gets it in real life!  ..... the card!

Wow, these challenges come round quickly sometimes!  We are all feeling the LURVE over at Delicious Doodles!  I decided to have a play around with printing on coloured paper and thought these images would go beautifully together.

I meant to do some pricking on the edge of the heart - but then forgot!  DOH!  N'mind, I dont think anyone will notice!

Short and sweet from me today!  Why not pop over the the other girls at Delicious Doodles - or even join in the challenge!

Aud Sentiments - LOVE

Love is in the air - doooo be doooo.  Are you feeling the lurve?  Well, we are all feeling the love over at Aud Sentiments because that's the challenge this time round!  

We have been sponsored by Mami Doodles and TLC gave us another fabby free sentiment to use.   The great thing about Aud's is that things are very flexible - so we can choose whether we want to use the sentiment, use the sponsor's image or whatever.  This time I decided to use the Mami Doodles image - well who could resist that cute mouse?

I did my usual dippy thing and forgot to adhere to the rules of the challenge!!!  The challenge is to use the word LOVE - yep, I didn't!  Well, I did eventually, but not to start with...I had to use some more of my fabby plaque thingies that came in my Crafty Weekend goodie bag....the weekend that keeps on giving!

Cuuuutttteee!  Hope you get the chance to join in with the challenge - go on...spread the love!

Valentines in the Gedalovitch Household

SECOND POST TODAY - PLEASE SCROLL DOWN AND CHECK OUT THE OTHER ONE IF YOU HAVE TIME!

I have decided that I will try and decorate our mantelplace for high days and holidays.  I made a banner for Christmas and that is safely packed away with the other decs.  

So here is the valentine's banner!  Needed to do it fairly quickly so it isnt very intricate!

This is my painting!  OK Tesco had the canvasses reduced price so I thought I would grab a couple for Josh and I to play with!

So - the big hearts are Tony and I, with the medium heart between us  being Josh!  The green hearts are mothers and the purple hearts brothers.  The silver hearts are the dads, who have passed.  Three other hearts are friends (we have more than 3 friends, but decided to have a group heart for each of us!) and the other silver heart is Josh's wife to be!!!  So funny! It was Josh's idea to add hearts for friends and his wife to be!  He is 10 so I am guessing it will be a while yet before we find out who that heart is for!

PROUD MUM ALERT!  

Yep, the one above is the one Josh did!  He detests doing crafty stuff - really hates it!  But we chatted about it and I kept telling him that he couldnt "do it wrong" which was his big fear!  And this is what he created - the big heart is dad, medium heart is me and little heart right in the middle is him! When he had finished he said it "wasnt too painful"!!

I just know we will treasure this painting for years to come!  We forgot to sign them, so we are going to do that (and date them) when we are sure they are dry.

Little heart ornament thingies - wanted to make something like this at Christmas but just ran out of time - this year though!  All the hearts were cut using my ecraft - so most of it was really quick - instant gratification!

Something to represent all the animals!  We have two cats (one of whom sat on my canvas and left a bum bump in it, luckily before I had painted it!), two guinea pigs, a rabbit, a lizard, a hamster and some fish!  We borrow the dog over the road for walks sometimes too!

And this is the finished mantlepiece....YAY!

Hope you have a fabby Valentines Day!

Quick Make the Cut File

A bit more playing with the ecraft again.  Very funny, designed it cut it, showed it off to my hubby "look look, I did it all myself" ---- hubby "Errmmm, are you meant to be showing that to me?"  Oh bum! 

I layered the inside with some of that thin, handmade papery stuff...will think of the name, any minute.....nope!! 

Oh well, thanks for popping over!

Aud Sentiments - Valentines Quote

"Love is in the air, everywhere I look around!"

....now, who is gonna be singing that song all day?  Sorry!

Bet you can't even begin to imagine what the sentiment is for the challenge over at Aud Sentiments!  Oh, you can?  Ahhhhaaaaa, yep you are right - its a corny valentine's quote - the cornier the better! Not sure I quite nailed the corny! 

For this next challenge we are lucky enough to have Inktegrity as our sponsor. They are giving the winner a $10 Gift Certificate to use in their store. 

Here is a little bit about them...

"My name is Joni Wilson, I am the sole designer of Inktegrity's images. Inktegrity was started out of my love for card making; my designs are fun for all ages and can be resized to fit your crafting needs. All of my images are inspired by upcoming holidays, everyday life, and friends' requests. Please visit the store site at: Inktegrity and browse through the different categories. Happy crafting to you, thank you for creating with Inktegrity!"

The DT were given a few images to use, so I chose this cute cupid -  just keep laughing at his socks!

And, of course, I needed to put a bit of a quirky spin on that romantic quote!  

AND (yep another AND) I cant get these bloomin italics off again!

 

AND (!!!!) I just spotted the closing date for the challenge - 15th Feb, so you could (if you ran quickly) avoid posting your special person's card on your blog until the day and STILL get to join in the challenge!

Hope you have a great day and get the chance to join in the fun!
