Charity cards.

At Jackie Mooney's workshops for as long as I can remember Isobel has organised different swaps. This year we are doing charity cards. Isobel will give anyone who is taking part a little kit with some items in it. We have to make a card using the items & all the cards we make will go into a box & when we have enough then we will decide which charity to donate them to! As daffodil day is coming up & Bab's sells cards for the Irish Cancer Society all year round this months cards will be going to Bab's to sell for the ICS.

I've made 2 so far & have enough bits left over from my kits to do another 2.

Here are the ones I have finished!!
I got the idea for the little squares on the 1st one from a card Bab's made for the Sassy Cheryl challenge!

Everything used was supplied in the kit except for the actual card base!!

I used my ProMarkers to colour the images. 

The ProMarker Combo is

Gold, Canary & Buttercup

Forest Green & Leaf Green.

Crafting for craftings sake!

I haven't crafted just for the sake of crafting & last night I coloured some images & today I made cards for 2 of the images. The first I can post now & this is it!

I used a Sassy Cheryl image & it is called "Share the love", isn't she just so cute!                                                          I first seen this digital image on a card by Jackie Mooney, for those who don't know, Jackie Mooney holds monthly card making workshops & I have been attending these for the past 3 years.
Jackie is also my fellow Mami Doodles DT member & is on the Sassy Cheryl DT too.
 Anyhow on to some details about my card!
 I used 2 different brown cards, one is a leather effect & the other is Core'dinations Chocolate box. The blue card is from my stash as is the brown organza ribbon & pearls & gems!
 The image is coloured using ProMarkers & these are the ProMarker Combo's I used! 

Skin - Blush & Soft Peach

Hair - Raw Sienna, Mustard & Buttercup

Dress, Hat, Shoes & Socks - Turquoise, Duck Egg & Cool Aqua

Mami Doodles Challenge 40 - Altered Art/Home Decor.

The challenge over on Mami Doodles which started yesterday is Altered Art/ Home Decor & because it is the holiday season this challenge will run for 4 weeks so gives plenty of time to get some creating done. The prize for this challenge is the latest 3 Mami Doodles images released - Peter and the Pudding, Bea the Butterfly & Baby's First Christmas plus you will get to choose another of Elisa's gorgeous digi's. To take part all you have to do is link your Altered Art/ Home Decor project on the Mami Doodles blog.

I made a door plaque for my daughter to put in her Christmas stocking. I used one of the 8 images you get when you buy Ligia & I gave Ligia a new hair do so that she looks like my daughter. The layers for the plaque were cut using my eCraft, Ligia was coloured using ProMarkers, the gem swirls were added using my I-Rock tool, flowers are from my stash & I used 3 different embossing folders. Hope to see some gorgeous creations for the challenge. Pam x

Commissioned Shoe card.

I love this digital stamp from Sketching Stamper. It was my very first digital stamp & I find I come back to it a lot. The leaf flourishes were cut using my eCraft & the purple card was glittered using Crafters Companion glitter spray, I love this stuff, it comes in 4 colours - Gold, Silver, Iridescent & Multi.

The sentiment is computer generated but I think it says it all!

Commissioned Photo cards.

Here are 2 cards that were commissioned by my BIL's mother. She always gets photo cards done & with grand children so cute I can see why!

I cut the frame for this using my eCraft & then glittered it using stickles.

I thought this photo was just so cute.

I added glossy accents as water splashes. The frame was again cut using my eCraft.

Mami Doodles card.

I got this image free as part of a pack of 3 images when I bought some Mami Doodles images & just love this little elephant, I think he is just so cute & could be used for a child's birthday card too. The image can now be bought from the Mami Doodles shop for just €0.99. The backing paper is Prima & the glitter card is from a DCWV mat stack that I picked up at the GBCE for next to nothing.

The cute elephant was coloured using ProMarkers.

The ProMarker combo used is

Cornflower, Denim Blue & Pastel Blue

Sunflower, Tulip Yellow & Buttercup.

Crafting Ireland Competition Sketch.

So the GBCE is in 8 more sleeps & I am as excited as a kid waiting for the school tour!!

Crafting Ireland will be there & will be running some competitions. Here is the details for the 1st competition!

You have to follow this sketch!

You can rotate the sketch & change it from a rectangle to a square. As long as Nicole & Timi can see the sketch in your project it's all good!

Here are 3 cards I have done & you can get some more inspiration on the Crafting Ireland blog.

I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with!!

Some quick & simple cards!

I decided to have a go at making some cards that are different to my usual style of card! I love seeing cards that are clean & simple but yet very effective so here is my attempt at clean & simple!

Going away card & a Thank you card!

The girl who asked me to make this card was so happy with it that she asked me to make another A4 card for a friend of hers who was going to Australia to go travelling for a year!

The girl was starting in Cairns & making her way down to Sydney.

This is what I came up with.

I printed the map off & distressed it.

I sent the card off to the customer & then a few days after I got the cheque in the post but there was something else in the envelope!!

& on the inside

I was so thrilled with this little card telling me how happy she was with my work & it is fantastic to have the little card to keep!!

Yay!! I was published again!!!

So in issue 3 of Crafting Ireland (Irelands 1st on line crafting magazine) there were submission calls for issue 4 & the themes were Autumn & Halloween & then there was a picture too that was to be used as inspiration for a project that would be entered into a competition!

Guess what!!!!

I was one of 2 people who won the competition & I had a card & a LO published in issue 4!

I am delighted to be published again & also very excited that I won the competition! For my prize I will get either 7 Gypsies Conservatory Papers or My Minds Eye Lost & Found Papers which were very generously donated by The Crafty Alley

this is the photo that we had to take inspiration from

This is the card I made!

I used the colours from the inspiration photo & also texure!

The image is one from Claire & was coloured using ProMarkers but I don't remember which colours I used!!

This is the card I submitted for the Autumn theme!

This card was made using leftovers from the Crafty Queens mini album! All I added was the Gorjuss girl image who was coloured with ProMarkers (& again I can't remember the colours) & also the embossed leaves background!!

This was the LO I submitted for the Halloween theme.

I have been dying to do a LO with these photo's of the kids with the tarantulas so the Halloween theme was just perfect!!

The spider web & the title were cut using my eCraft! The organza ribbon was heated with my heat gun to make it all wrinkly!
