Working Class Bot

Here is another card I have made using the sketch challenge from Inkspirations. It is the same as the Mono Clyde card sketch. I will enter this one in the Inkspiration Challenge, although I am not sure how many cards you are allowed to enter. The colours consist of Old Olive, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Real Red. The card is a 5 x 5 card size made from Whisper White. This little image came from tiddlyinks. I have been looking at this little fellow for quite some time now, and finally decided that I would add him to my collection of digital stamps.

Mono Clyde

Here is the card I have made for the Bugaboo Challenge this week. It is making a card using only one colour. (Monochromatic). I usually don't make green cards, but it seemed to really suit this digital stamp. I love these challenges. The sketch for this card came from the Inkspirations Sketch Challenge for this week. I am doing two challenges in one here.

Another Bunny

This little fellow is from Dustin. I used my copic markers for the colouring and stampin up papers for the card and embellishments.

More Bently

I liked the other Bently card so much, I just had to make another one with the scraps I had left over. All paper is from Stampin up and the image of Bently is from the talented bugaboo stamps.



Check this out

I opened my emails this morning and look what I found. Thank you so much Bugaboo and Bently of course. I came first in the Bugaboo Challenge. Awesome. Time to go shopping for some more Digital Images.

Bugaboo Bently

This little fellow here is called Bently. I have used the same colour scheme as the post below, and I am going to enter him into the Bugaboo Challenge this week. The theme is Baby or Child. There is a link to Bugaboo on the left hand side of my blog posted under blogs if you are new to my site and want to play along. I really like the way this card turned out and is going to be one of my favorites for sure.

Monday's Class Preview

Here is one of the cards we will be making on Monday for class. I thought I would give you a little preview to see what we get up to. Easter is just around the corner, so it was only fitting that I combine a digi stamp with a Stampin Up stamp to create this cute little card. The colours, well maybe they are not really Easter related, but I'm not a very conventional person when it comes to specific colours for specific occasions. The second card we will be making is from the Creative Combination, that is definitely different. I will post this one after class finishes.

Second card for Sneak Peak

This is the second card I have made using the above colour combination. You know, using the colour coach is really not quite as simple as it looks. It actually makes you think about the card and colour placement before you try and create the card. Not sure whether or not that makes any sense at all, but I know what I am trying to say. PS I created a watermark for my cards, tell me what you think about it. 

Sneak Peak

Here is a little sneak peak at a new stamp that is released on 1st April 2011. I love this stamp. The colours for this card came from the Colour Coach, I'm sure you all know by now that i love this tool as well. I have used the sketch from inkspirations sketch challenge. Not sure whether you noticed, but it's the same layout as the turtle card.

Colour Coach - More Mustard

Well I guess there is not a real lot I can say about this post, other that, love the colours. The digital stamp is from bugaboo, everything else is from Stampin Up. Enjoy. Well, here I am saying that there is not much to write about this little card. I forgot to mention that I have used the sketch from Inkspirations as it was a sketch challenge. Sorry about that. Must have been a seniors moment.

Colour Coach - More Mustard

Blog holiday

Okay, so I can't send my blog on a holiday, but I have been making a few minor adjustments as you can see. Each time I teach myself how to add another element, you will notice my blog changing. Hopefully for the better.

Colour Coach – Night of Navy

 Here is the second card using the colour schemes from the Night of Navy swatch from the colour coach. Another digital image from Dustin Pike, more copic markers and Stampin Up cardstock and designer papers.

Colour Coach - Night of Navy

Back to Mojo 180

Here is the latest sketch from Mojo Monday. Actually I think there will be another one tomorrow. Time difference is really annoying. lol I am going to post my card when I am finished. Firstly I have to work out whether my large format printer will print on water colour paper, and whether the ink is actually waterproof. I am hoping that the salesman was not just being a salesman....... It would be totally awesome if works.

Design your life - Big Picture Class - Real World Colour Page

Here is the final page for the week long class. This theme is based on certain colours we are given to use in a certain layout. Great fun. Not to mention all the information that you can use regarding balance, colour choice. I am going to definitely make more layouts using these templates. 

So now I'm off to begin Week 2.

Design your life - Big Picture Class - 2nd Pages

Here is the 2nd layout in my Design Your Life album. This is a 8.5 x 11 inch layout, showing my favorite things in my scrap room, although the photo of the card stock is not my card stock, it's a photo off the internet, but gives the general indication. This is the first time I have finished so many pages in so little time.

Design your life - Big Picture Class - 1st Page

This is my first 12 x 12 page. It's my eldest son Nathan, driving around our back yard on my youngest son's tractor. Don't ask!

Design your life - Big Picture Class - Title Page

Finally, after looking at 'The Big Picture - Design your Life' class, I decided to give it go. So here is my Title page for my album ready to print and go. The first weeks class is all about balance. I have finished the first week, which I must admit, took me two weeks, but Yes, finally I have finished - completed - something. I will add more album pages as I get them finished. If your interested in the class, the website is:

www.bigpictureclasses.com

I am doing a digital album first to see how I go, but looking so far, I will definitely do another one in normal format.

Big thank you

Okay, in case you're a bit confused, I need to say a big thank you to Bugaboo Stamps. They have featured two of my cards on their blog. If you click on the link on my sidebar and then click on the header under blog. Hey presto, there I am. Awesome. Go check it out.

Color Coach - Blushing Bride 4

Here is the final card I have made using the Blushing Bride colour swatch. That takes care of all the items on this swatch including the Dynamic Duo, Creative Combination and the Sweet Set. I think I will be using the creative combination more than I will be using the sweet set, but you never know.
