Cute Card Thursday 658 - Sparkles

 Another new challenge over at Cute Card Thursday. Thus week we have the theme of sparkles and we are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.

I made another sticky note calendar. I used an oldie for this one. The image is Daisy an Elisabeth Bell image from Sugar Nellie. I haven't coloured her in ages. I coloured her with Polychromos Pencils blended with Sansador using paper stumps. The papers are digi from Sweet Shoppe Designs. The sticky note, calendar tabs and pencil are all from Amazon. I added some wink of stella to the flowers. It really does sparkle in real life. But it wouldn't show in any pictures. Typical eh.

Cute Card Thursday 646 - Anything Goes

Wow another week gone by. So we have another challenge started over at Cute Card Thursday. We are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps and have a super easy Anything Goes Theme.

I have made another sticky note calendar. I'm getting a bit carried away making these. I have used a super cute gnome from this set by Dustin Pike. And the best part is - it's digital, so instant. Yay. I have coloured him with Polychromos pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps. The papers are digi too from Sweet Shoppe Designs. Adventure:Badger by Studio Flergs. I managed to get a wee black mark above the gnome. But saved the day with a wee wooden bee. The honey comb is a die from Whimsy too.

Cute Card Thursday 640 - Flowers

Onto another challenge over at Cute Card Thursday, and this week we have a theme of flowers. We are sponsored by My Creative Scoop.

For my make this week I have gone with a sticky note calendar. I quite like making these. I have used Happy Hummingbirds from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. The papers are pretty ancient, which I found while having a wee tidy up. I've decided that I really must use blues more often. Coloured with Polychromos Pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps.
I am going to enter this into the Kraftin Kimmie Skrappy Challenge where they want to see anything but a card.

Cute Card Thursday 635 - Critters

I decided to make a calendar. I have used a stamp from the cute Unicorns and Rainbows stamp set from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. The papers are digi from Sweet Shop Designs - Chickadee by Melissa Bennett.

Cute Card Thursday 554 - Anything Goes

Ok, so we are now half way through the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday. The theme this week is a really easy Anything Goes. We are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps.

I went with another sticky note Easel Calendar. I have used Beau and Bashful for this. They are rather cute. Coloured with Polychromos Pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps. The papers are digi from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Chickadee by Melissa Bennett. I did an oopsie with it. I had rainbow paper but stuck it on upside down. I just couldn't live with it. So I put the plain blue paper on. Not totally straight, but it's OK I die cut a clump of grass to hide it. The grass is an old Quickutz die.

Cute Card Thursday 552 - Food/Drink

Another week so another challenge. This week at Cute Card Thursday we are sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps and have the theme of food/drink. 

I've made another sticky note easel calendar. I have used a stamp from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps called Friends to the finish. She is coloured with Polychromos pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps. The papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Vignette by Krystal Hartley.

Cute Card Thursday 548 - Monochrome

Oh boy - I hope I can remember how to do this. It's been a while. Haha. This week over at Cute Card Thursday we are sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps. The theme is monochrome.

I decided to make a sticky note calendar for my make. I have used a stamp from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps called Friends to the Finish. I thought that would work nicely for a calendar. I have coloured her using Polychromos pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps. The papers are from Papermania from many years ago. I printed the sentiment out.

And it all opened up. As I have only seen the yellow sticky notes we'll pretend that's not there. Shh we wont tell anyone. And a wee pencil to finish it off. I am also going to enter it into the Kraftin Kimmie Facebook September Monthly Make Challenge. Where you can win the entire October stamp release. Worth a shot I guess.

Cute Card Thursday 494 - Too Cute

Cute Card Thursday have the theme of too cute going on. A super easy one for you all. We are sponsored by Oddball Art.

I have made another sticky note easel Calendar. I quite like these. And I have finally got some tabs for next year. The first ones got lost in Royal Mail - oh the joys. I have used a super cute digi image from Sugar Nellie but I think she is retired. The papers are also digi from Sweet Shoppe Designs.

Cute Card Thursday 486 - Ribbons/Bows

The new challenge over at Cute Card Thursday is now up and running. We have the theme of ribbons/bows this week. Super easy for you all I am sure. We are sponsored by All Dressed Up this week.

I have made another sticky note easel Calendar. I really like making these. I don't have next years tabs yet, so for the photo I am using this years. I will replace them with 2018 when I get them.(they are somewhere with Royal Mail just now) I have used this cutie and digi papers from Michele Roo Designs. I have kept her really simple as normal. I coloured her using Polychromos Pencils and blended with Sansador using Paper stumps.

Cute Card Thursday 480 - Bugs/Butterflies

Wow another week gone by. So that means another challenge over at Cute Card Thursday. This week we are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps and have the theme of Bugs/Butterflies. That's easy enough - Right.

I decided to get a head start on some sticky note Easel calendars for next year. But since the calendar tabs for 2018 aren't out yet I thought I would use one from this year to show you what it actually is. I quite like making these and they make a cute wee gift.

Well I used a super cute Penguin from Whimsy Stamps. This is from a clear stamp set called Penguin Gardener. The papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs - A Whimsical Garden by Kristen Cronin Barrow. The flowers are a die from MFT.
I am going to enter this into the Whimsy Challenge where the theme is Anything Goes with the twist of flowers.

Cute Card Thursday 445 - CAS

Lucky for me the new challenge over at Cute Card Thursday is CAS. This week we are sponsored by Magnolia - licious. I don't really do cards other than CAS. I love everyone elses, but just don't seem to be able to do them myself. Oh well, I just have to admire everyone elses. I am into making these easel calendars just now. What I am going to do with them (about 10 so far haha) I don't know. I was thinking about doing a Christmas craft fair, but I really wouldn't have enough things to sell. Guess I'll have wee sticky note calendars everywhere. haha.

The writing is a digi stamp from Whimsy Stamps from when they did digi stamps. I really wish they would bring them back, they were all gorgeous. The Ladybirds are an Elizabeth Crafts die. I added the pencil to one of my calendars and now I feel it's not finished without it.The papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs - A Whimsical Garden by Kristen Cronin Barrow.

Anything but a card Kraftin Kimmie

Well it's time over at Kraftin Kimmie's Challenge Blog for there anything but a card challenge. So I decided to make another one of my Sticky Note Calendars. Again, I am still waiting for next years Calendar Tabs, but I think they should be out next month - yay. I am lucky to be Guest Designer for the Month of June, so thought I would get something made for this challenge.

I make an Easel card out of an A6 size card. The sheep is coloured using Polychromos Pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps. Cut out with a MFT stitched circle die. The scallop die is from Tonic. I found a very old Quickutz die in my craft bits for the grass. Probably the first time used too - Haha. Added a square sticky note pad and pencil to the bottom part. The pencil loop is a bit of elastic (thought it would be easier to get the pencil in and out with elastic). Really simple to make. Now I'm just waiting for the Calendar Tabs to come out. Oh and the papers are by Papermania with green card for the mats.

Kraftin Kimmie Challenge 332

I was thinking about doing a craft fair at Christmas. The local Primary School has asked me the last coupe of years if I want a table. Hmm - no, I'm not that good. Haha. Well, I decided I might give it a go this year. Well, maybe. So I thought I would see what I could come up with. Well I decided to try these sticky note calendar things, and I must say I'm quite liking them. But I could be over run with calendars when I don't do the craft fair. Haha. Well the Calendar tabs don't come out til July (I think), so I had to make do with the only ones I could find (last years) for my photo taking. I thought about adding a wee pencil, so I now have to go back and add one to the other few I have made. Anyway, I have used the super cute A Furry Surprise from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. ( Stamp also available here in the UK). The papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs.  The tag is a die from MFT. I am entering it into the Challenge over at Kraftin Kimmie where the theme is Animals.
