autumn fun..........

Second post today!!! scroll down to check out my SN DT Card.

Today I am sharing a card which looks like my garden. We have a beautiful Japanese Maple and It looks beautiful for about one week in the year, when it turns all shades of red, but one gust of wind and the whole lot ends up on the grass, then the leaf fairy comes along and clears them away (that's DH, by the way!!)

I have used Sassy Suzi from The Greeting Farm, I bought her from Dies to Die For and have not done much with her, but her coat and hair, I think, really suits this Anyone for Anya Challenge.

I used the Tim Holtz, on the edge FENCE die, His bare tree die and a maple leaf punch, The backing paper is from MME, and finally the sentiment is from Stampin Up.

Check out the Challenge Blog for more great inspiration and if you join in remember to use a qualifying image - CC Designs or TGF - and you could win a fabulous prize!!

Have a lovely Sunday, I'm off for a well earned break of crafting, Ironing and Planning is all done.

Take care Hugs Sarah B X

AFA Sketch Challenge

I love sketches and this one for this weeks Anyone for Anya, is a fab one. Sketches really make cardmaking so much easier, all you have to think about is the colour combo and images!!!

Here is the sketch.....

Our sponsor this week is Sammi, with a single TGF Image!

I have used a CCDesign image from the new releases Laugh Lines - LAUGH, isn't she sweet!!

I have coloured her with a combination of Promarkers and Spectrum Noir

And here is my completed card.

I used some core'dinations with my sizzix 3D flower dies to create these lovely flowers...

I also used some new MME papers and a sentiment from Stampin' Up

And a bit of dimension!!

Hope you like, and why not have a go. Pop over to the Challenge Blog later today and check out the rest of the Team's inspiration.

Take care

a challenge card thats way too late...........

With all the problems I have been having with my computer I didn't realise that a couple of my posts were missing.

Here is a set I created for Anyone For Anya, a couple of weeks ago, Its for Father's Day.

I used The Greeting Farm Image Later Skater cos I think it suit my Hubby!!

I made a matchbox, Milkcarton and Card, all using the same image and papers and colours - Bravo Burgundy, Tempting Turquoise (Stampin' Up) and Lil' Robots Papers from MME

I have really gone OTT with the Gears, cos Hubby is an engineer and always got his hands dirty.

Here is a sentiment from LOTV, so suitable for any occasion.

Here is the card.

More Gears

Not content with them being on the out side I put some on the inside!!

Hope you like

Oh.....

I love this sentiment from LOTV, so useful for everything!!

Love this Creepin' Crew Image from The Greeting Farm, she looks really awkward, so I had to put her on a pretty card, rather than the obvious grungy one!!

She is called Abbey, I love her pigeon toes and shocked expression!!

Quick post, hope you like
