Father's Day card for my dad

2010-06-20T14:00:00.000-07:00

Here is the card that I have made to give to my dad for Father's day. I am in Elgin at the moment staying with Granda and Karen, but I will see my dad in the afternoon on father's day when I get home and will give him is card then.

Karen has printed out this digi image from Di's Digital Designs for me to use. I think this is a good card for my dad as he likes beer. I have coloured it in with copic and promarker pens and I have been using the bigshot again to cut out the circles with the nestbilities - I love doing this.

I have used the sketch this week at Sketch Saturday.

I hope that my dad likes his card.

Wedding card for Allsorts Challenge and Secret Crafter Challenge

2010-06-19T14:00:00.000-07:00

I was staying with Karen and Granda in Elgin at the weekend and made a few cards while I was there. Mum had asked me to make a wedding card to send to a friend in London so Karen printed off some images for me and gave me some of her wedding papers to make this card.

I have used this lovely image from Pixie Dust Studios and the papers are by trimcraft I think. This is the first time that Karen has showed me how to use her bigshot machine and some nestabilities to cut the circles out - what fun that was.

The last time that I was making cards with Karen we used a sketch to follow and I have done this again this time and the one that I used for this card is the one at Allsorts. I am also going to enter this card at Secret crafter where they are looking for wedding cards.

Karen designed the little sticker for the back of my cards that says Handmade for you on the computer for me and has printed out 3 pages of them for me to take home with me.

I also found out that Karen has a magic white pen that I can use to cover up the bits where I have gone over the lines which makes my cards looks much better.

I also have another card that I have nearly finished and I will get it posted tomorrow.

Get Well Soon Grandma

2010-05-22T00:30:00.000-07:00

Here is a card that I made earlier in the week to give to my great grandma. She fell in her house the week before last and broke her hip and also her collar bone and will be in hospital for a while.

I now have a box of craft bits and pieces at home. I used to only make cards when I go to Elgin to visit granda and Karen, but I now have a box of my own at home and also my own collection of promarkers which I need to keep away from my brothers.

I have used a digi image from Pixie Dust Studios on this card that Karen printed off for me and also some papers that I got from Hobbycraft when I went with grandma.

I hope that you like my card - my great grandma loved it and now has it in the hospital with her.

My final card of the weekend

2010-01-18T12:00:00.000-08:00

This is the last card that I have made this weekend and I have used the sketch from Papertake weekly. This is the first time that I have used sketches and I like doing this. These papers were ones that Karen had saved for me from a magazine, but we don't know which one it was, the digi image was a free one from bugaboo stamps and I think he is just soo cute. I have made this card for my grandma so I hope she likes it.

Crafty Monkeys card

2010-01-17T01:53:00.000-08:00

I have been at Granda and Karen's for the weekend and I have had a busy crafting weekend. It has been really cold and windy so it was not good to be outside. Karen and I went to Papercrafts in Elgin on Saturday to see Judy doing some colouring with prisma pencils and her pictures were beautiful. I got the new docrafts kit with all the papers, ribbons, buttons and flowers and I have used some of these on my card that I have made for the Crafty Monkeys challenge. I have used a digi image from CC designs. The thank you stamp is one that I got from the new Hobbycrafts shop in Aberdeen where I went with my grandma and she bought me some stamps, cards, inkpads and stickers.

Here is the Hannah's beautiful sketch to follow for the challenge

I have made 2 more cards, but we need to go out now so Karen will upload them later.

My card for my daddy

2009-06-21T01:23:00.001-07:00

I have been staying at Granda and Karens house for 2 nights this weekend because my mum and dad have gone to Glasgow to see Take That. It has been good to be here for 2 nights as I had more time to make some cards. I have made this card for my daddy for fathers day to give him when we go home on Sunday. I have put Sandy and Robbies names on it as well as they did not make a very good job of colouring in. I had to colour in the footballer a few times as the dark blue kept going over the edges. I had stuck some buttons on the bottom so that I can enter this card in the Crafty Monkeys challenge this week.

I have also covered this chocolate bar to match the card to give to my daddy

I made a card for my mummy for her birthday, but I cannot show you it yet as my mummy might look at my blog and see it before her birthday. I have left her card with Granda and he will post it to her for her birthday so that it does not get lost if I take it home.

I am not sure when I will be back to Elgin again, but will make another card then.

Lets Get Buggy for Crafty Monkeys

2009-05-31T05:58:00.000-07:00

I have been back staying at Granda and Karen's house with my brothers and have made a card today for the new challenge at Crafty Monkeys which is to make a card with a bug or butterfly on it. Karen had stamped this Anya girl for herself but let me colour in one of them. I found these papers in my box and also these butterflies. I cut some flowers out of the second bit and stick them on the card. I have made this card for my best friend Lauren and I think she will love it.

This is me sitting in the garden making my card. It has been a lovely weekend. We went to the beach at Lossiemouth yesterday and played on the sand and Karen and Robbie and I paddled in the water. Robbie got his shorts wet because he wanted to go right in. Karen and I went swimming this morning and now Granda is doing a barbeque for lunch before it is time for us to go home.

This is me with my brothers Sandy and Robbie and Benji the dog - Jambo did not want to be in this picture.

Easter card for mum and dad

2009-04-05T03:17:00.001-07:00

I have managed to fit in one more card this morning. I have made an Easter card to give to my mum and dad when I go home. We printed these little chickens off from the computer and I have coloured them in. Karen showed me how to use a darker pen on the edges to make the colour nice. I had real fun with the flowers as they kept sticking to my fingers. Karen made the holes to put the brad through and then I opened them on the back to keep the flowers on the card.

I am now going to the park with granda and Sandy and Robbie so that Karen can get a bit of time to tidy up before we go to Burger King for lunch and then granda will take us home.
I have had a lovely weekend and now am looking forward to seeing my mum and dad. They have been to Newcastle for the weekend and they went to the football to see Chelsea playing as my dad is a big Chelsea fan. Chelsea won so he will be really happy.

Easter Egg Basket

2009-04-05T01:12:00.001-07:00

We went to Brewster Bear for tea last night and I played in the play area with my brothers Sandy and Robbie and I made some new friends - Amy and Rebecca.
When we got back home Sandy and Robbie went to bed and I used the cricut machine with Karen to cut out this basket for my eggs. I used more of the Panduro cut outs and decorated it with these two girls and also the dog. I picked a dress for each girl and used the sticker machine to make them sticky.
We got the eggs and bunnies when we went to Tesco yesterday and they did not all fit in the basket so will we will all get one to eat today.

I am going home today, but will be back to visit Granda and Karen again in May and will make some more things then.
I don't think I will have any time today to make another card before I go home.

Crafty Monkeys Challenge card

2009-04-04T02:44:00.000-07:00

This is my first card that I have made with all the lovely stuff that Karen has given me. I made it it with some Panduro little babies that Karen had already cut out.
I have made this card for Crafty Monkeys new challenge and it is a baby card that I have made for Fiona's little baby girl which will be born in June and I hope it will be cute.
