ks - Ahoy Matey inspirational post

 Wow, this was a fantastic project to do.

I've recently come across book folding and this is one of my first attempts - it went to the Father In Law for Fathers day - he loves his sailing..

I used Karleigh Sue, Ahoy Matey

I coloured her with the following promarkers

Hair - walnut, cocoa, sandstone, satin

Skin- Apricot, oatmeal, blush

dress/hat/shoes/belt - cool aqua, duck egg, sky blue, true blue

I mat and layered her up on some striped papers from my stash.
Printed the sentiment from my computer.

Twist 3 white pipecleaners with some blue striped twine and glued to the spine of the book.

Wrapped some red and white wool around a curtain ring to make the buoy.

Please pop over to Karleigh Sue Challenge blog and share your projects with us.

Kind regards

KS New Release

This months new release from Karleigh Sue is Holiday Greetings.

You can find her and a few more new ones over at Karleigh Sue's etsy shop

I printed her on Neenah card stock and coloured her with my polychromo pencils.

My die cutting machine was out for another project so I thought I'd layer her up 

(sorry, no idea what or where the dies are from - they are off their packaging on a magnetic sheet, and my memory is pants!) lol

I added some ribbon from my stash and cut the mats and layers with the same dies (again papers from my stash)

Added some christmas coloured gems I purchased from KS.

I hope you like this inspiration for KS new release image and will pop over to their challenge blog and share your projects.
We love to see them

Kind regards
Theresa

KS Christmas in July

Are you getting those Christmas gifts made ready for the big day?

I have started mine

and Karleigh Sue has a new release of cute Christmas Elves to get you on your way

Here is what I did with them

That is only 4 of them - there is more to follow but I havent finished them yet ;-)

I coloured them with polychromo pencils on Neenah Classic Crest Card.

Papers and ribbon from my stash and my 1st attempt at a bottle cap..  Melted some embossing powder in it. Then used glossy accents to attach the die cut holly, with some seed beads as berries.

And a peel off greeting.

TTPH July - FUNNY

I chose this cute image from  Bugaboo (U Rock) because it was out of my norm!

I have loved colouring it.

I coloured it with my Polychromo pencils (sorry, was so excited at the enjoyment of colouring I forgot to list the colours used!)

I scruffed up the edges of the cardstock and layered in a scruffed up blue piece.

Cut 9 flowers dies with my newly purchased Presscut Flower#2 and layered them up with a bead from my stash in the center.

Come over and join the 'Funny' challenge over at Through The Purple Haze.

Kind regards
