Everybody's Art Challenge is back - Hurrah!!!

Everybody Art Challenge  is back this week and we are starting gently with an Anything Goes  challenge.

I started with one of the fabulous Saturated Canary image and is called 'Hand me Down'. 

I have been practicing with use pink again - this is a very 'blue pink'  but had the problem of not having the right shade of accessories. 

The card us from Core-dinations and the pattern is a piece in my scrap box. I also added a couple of  flowers and leaves I found negleccted.

The ribbon was from the Ribbon Girl and the pearls from The Hobby House.

I hope you manage to join us with our Anything Goes challenge.

Another Ooops - I did the wrong challenge -  so this ended up a bit of a rush - not only that I couldn't find the image I wanted - I had it not long since but ???? I have obviously put it in the wrong box. I am so dizzy these days -  I used to be so efficient and organized - ran a business, took card for his and her's children (him as well??) - now I packed it in, took my foot of the pedal and then acquired  Dizzy in abundance ???

My image is cakked 'Mice Penmenship' and coloured mixed media - copics and Poychromos.
I used plain black card representing a blackboard, the sentiment is by Sizzix - I've had for ages and can barely use what it is called - I think it is  'Serif'.
The papers are from 'My Mind;s Eye' - rather bright of me !!!



The DT's pop along and see the fabulous creations - they put me to shame!!!
I hope you in the UK have a brilliant Bank Holiday and you all have a brilliant sweet.

Bon Voyage

Wee it had been a strange the last few days, I have had an electricity power, no be able to use Yahoo and Google has keep asking to log in every time I movrd.  I surrendered eventually - Google now seems to be OK - perhaps he just heeded a rest!!!

In the meantime I started caught up with some the challenges I needed and make a couple of who are sat coloured waiting to be making into them card and this his one, I can't remember show long ago this image has been waining in vain.

 

 The image is one of Mo's called ByeBye and I coloured in a mixture betwen Copics and Polychromos.

The papers are from Rico and the hearts are cut by Spellbinders. The sentiment is one I found in a 'Printshop' programme I have - just perfect for the image.

I have missed entering Mo's challenge for ages - I do enjoy it but I can't get my act together - I have decided I really need to re-organise my schedule.

BACK TO SCHOOL 

The design team  are have created some awesome projects for your inspiration, we are all featuring Sizzix products (all except me - with out being to use a Die Cutter!!), you don't have to use them to join in but I am sure most of you will have something so dig them out and join in !! They have such a wide range of awesome dies and embossing folders :-)

I used a crossover envelope card and added with two little bookmarks.                                                   My image is for  House Mouse and called Mice Penmanship coloured with  Copics.

The basic card is Core-dinations and the dp is Papers American Crafts called Neopolitan

The borders were cut by Martha Stewart's Cherish

 We-r-memory-keepers Crop-A-Dile Eyelets were used for the bookmarks and attached them with Eyelets .  I laminated my bookmarks without out thinking  -  from previous experience I know how difficult it is to photograph  laminated

Image is  Wee Stamp called 'Silver Fairy' and coloured with Copics

The basic papers is Bazzile is the the paper and the old dp are from my stock.

Before my cuttlebug  had it's Hissy Fit I  used a Spellbinders 'Romantic Rectangles' and the border cut with  Crealies, the Cheery Lynn's 'Faciful Flourish' and finally the smaller Memory Box Bella Bloom.

This is where it ends and the small satin flowers in the center of the flowers are some I used when I sold wedding day card.
