More little gals

Having a bit of a creative urge at the moment so have made a few quirky cards. It's quite weird when I get in the "zone" the entire room goes quiet and I can't hear a thing. I think this is part of working on the right side of our brain. It is a great feeling, does anyone else ever zone out when they are creating?

The first little gal has hair made from the Heart to Heart punch. The next one I pleated her skirt with the Scoring board, Argggg very fiddly. The next one I made her overalls and then dropped ink on the waist so had to give her a skirt as well. I actually think she looks really trendy. A happy accident I say. The last one I was making a scallop waistband but it didn't look right so I ended up making it into hot pants. I love her boots.

Here they are completed.Sorry the images are a bit blurred as I had packaged them up before I took the photos.

Then I decided to change tack and make a little lady so here she is too. As you can see I was on a roll.  Not sure I am happy with her but one of the family will appreciate her.

Not really a little lady

Well I made another little lady, but she is not the same type as I usually make. My Grand daughter turned 9 and she is crazy on Lala Loopsey. So of course I just had to make her a card with this Little Lady on it. I got the image from a colouring book and then did my magic. Piecing it all together.

She loved it and her eyes just lit up when she saw it. That just made my day. I've made a few more since then as she is pretty cute.

Owls are always a winner

The children's class was a great success. They just love Owls and they all make them look so different just by changing the position of the eyes.

Firstly we made a cute paper pieced card.

Next came the fridge magnet calendar. It is so funny the things that makes children ooh and ahh! As soon as they saw the little calendar they all squealed. It's so nice to see children so excited and interested. Of course this one had an owl on as well as the little calendar so there were extra squeals of delight.

Finally we made a gift card, once again with a cute wee owl.

I love doing the children's classes during the school holidays, they always have such a great time. Although now I think it is time for a glass of wine, feet up or even a nana nap.

The Paper Players #177 - Chalkboard Technique

My first digital attempt at the Chalkboard Technique which is the theme challenge by the The Paper Players I have once again created my card using My Digital Studio. It was very easy to create the Chalkboard technique by using a few different stamps as overlays.
I used Vintage Overlays - texture 2 and Ink Splatter 6 overlaid over the Delightful Dozen Happy Birthday stamp. The paper Fill in the 21 is the same as the top of the of the card but I Zoomed it to make the stripes smaller. Love how we can do this.

Children's holiday class only 2 spots left

The Children's holiday class this Wednesday morning is nearly full. If you had been planning on your kiddies attending, you will need to let me know so I can prepare the kits.

We will be making 3 projects, two of them using our cute little Owl punch. My grandchildren have already had a sneak peek of the projects and squealed with delight.

Pals Paper Arts PPA186

 The Pals Paper Arts colour challenge this week uses Gold, Whisper White and Island Indigo.
One of the great things about My Digital Studio is being able to manipulate the size. In this card I have added the gold of this challenge in the form of an antique brad. Then I enlarged it to make it the background for my hearts and doves.

The Whisper white background I stitched with Island Indigo. Very easily accomplisehhed in MDS. Then I added the layer of Island indigo. The hearts were punches which I colour filled and the kissing doves is a stamp as is the "I do" sentiment. All of these stamps and punches were manipulated to change their sizes. I love that aspect of MDS so much.

Head on over and take a look at the Pals Paper Arts link and see what everyone has been creating.
