A simple Happy Birthday

Hello all!
Hope your weekend is going well and don't forget the clocks have changed over here Stateside so if you havn't done it yet, you're about to lose an hour!  No idea why this is done on a different date to the UK but it is and there is also another different date for things between the two countries - Mother's Day.  It's today (Sunday) over in the UK but it's not until May here in the USA - this means that I very nearly forgot to send a card to my mum!  Why can't all these things be on the same date?  It would make life a lot easier for those of us with a foot in each country :)

                Anyway there's a new challenge in all countries at the same time over at Eclectic Ellapu and the theme this week, from fellow Pink DT member Nana Connie is BIRTHDAYS .
            Nice and easy so I hope to see plenty of entries from all of you out there in blogland!  For my card I decided to go with a cropped digi from one of my favourite online stores - Teddy Bo .  I cropped Teddy Bea down to her face, hat and flower as I wanted to do a Spring time card.

                  Isn't she pretty?  I would like to enter this into the challenges at Teddy Bo , 2 Sisters, Allsorts and One Stop Craft .

Thanks for popping in!

You've got style baby!!

Hello all!
Friday has rolled around once more so another challenge over at The Outlawz alcohol markers group is up and running and this week the theme is "FASHION".  That leaves it pretty open to interpretation so why not join us this week?  - the Design Team have some truly fabulous examples for you to look at for inspiration.

                     I went to one of my Pinterest boards for my inspiration  - I had pinned this gorgeous card from Crafty Little Pigtails blog.  I just love the CAS fresh look of it - wonderful!

                 For my card I used a Kenny K digi, coloured with Copics and some scraps of paper, adding some lace and pearl brads so it would work for the current challenge at Kenny K's Krafty Krew. I even broke out the sewing machine for a very small amount of stitching!

                      I would also like to enter this into the challenges at - Addicted to Stamps , Simon Says Stamp , Stampin Royalty , Oozak and Through the Craftroom Door .

Thanks so much for stopping by and a big thank you to those of you who "liked" my hubby's Sturgess Designs Facebook page !

A British Classic.

Hello all!
A posting on a different topic today - my artistically talented hubby has been working hard on a commissioned picture for a work colleague and I wanted to share it with you.  Obviously I think it's fantastic but I would love to hear your views too.

                         This is all digital art, done using Corel Draw software working from a photograph of the customer's car.  If you zoom in, you can see all the reflected details on the chrome - it does take him a long time to do!!

        Would love it if any of you Facebookers gave him a "like" on his FB page - Sturgess Designs .

Linking up to the linky parties at the girl creative , Rolled up pretty , Jennifer Rizzo and I gotta create .

Scribbles Designs challenge midway point.

Hello all!
        well, we're already halfway through the monthly challenge over at Scribbles Designs so now would be a good time to join us and get your entry in :)  The theme is 'Shades of Red' and there's even a freebie for you to use over at the blog!
                    The DT have come up with some more fabulous inpirational creations for you to look at so why not take a stroll across there to check them out?  For my card I used one of the very cute Brrr penguins -      ( you can find them here ) and used a similar design to a card I made earlier this week - for regular visitors, you may remember that I did warn you you would be seeing more of these cropped text layouts!

                             No, I didn't accidentally crop the photo during editing - that is the whole card!  I just have a 'thing' for typography that has been cut through in places.  The brain is a very clever thing and can read words even with bits missing or even with jumbled up letters but I don't think I'll be doing that on my cards..............................

                     Anyway I would like to enter this into the challenges at ABC challenges , Lady Annes Challenges , Brown Sugar , Clearly I Stamp and Sweet Pea Stampers .

   Thanks so much for popping in - hope your weekend is full of fun!

Lights, camera, action!

Hello all!
     Back with my second post for today with the new challenge over at The Octopode Factory Friday blog - Hollywood!!  Think back to those golden glamour days of early Hollywood and channel your inner star.  Lily has plenty of fab digis that would be great for this theme - you can see them all here .  For my card I used one of the latest images - Clara the Flapper .   I printed out a clapper board from a clipart site and added a Cameo cut film strip and some various brads - Clara was coloured with Copics (no surprise there!)

                             You should definitely head on over to the TOFF blog and take a look at the crazy good creations from the rest of the DT.  I love seeing all the different styles that are shown each week!

                                  I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -  Simon Says Stamp , Inky Impressions , Moving along with the times , Sassy Studio Designs and Creative Belli .

Thanks for stopping in to take a look!

A four legged friend......

Hello all!
             Happy 1st of the month to you all and I hope it's the start of some spring-like weather to replace all these awful storms and snow here in the States.  Also Happy St David's Day to any Welsh followers I may have!

              Friday means a new challenge over at The Outlawz alcohol markers group and for this week, our theme is pets - although my title says a four legged friend, you don't have to limit yourself to that as plenty of pets have less or more than four legs (or even no legs!).  So before I wander too far from the path, here's the card details - very easy as it's yet another CAS card.  For this one I used one of my own digital stamps called Deefur.  I drew him based on a photo of a very cute dog I used to share my life with, a Jack Russell Terrier called Oscar.  He was such a cutie and a real character - loved him to bits :)

                           This is sort of a one layer card apart from the fact that I matted the image layer onto brown cardstock and then on to the card base - so a three layer card really!  I coloured the image using the dot technique as I wanted to give him the look of texture.

                    I would like to enter this into the challenges at Simon Says Stamp , Through the Craftroom Door , The Paper Shelter , Divas by Design  and Craft Us Crazy .

Thanks for popping in :)
