CRAFT Challenge 148, Things with Wheels

Morning all,

Another Thursday brings another challenge here today at CRAFT Challenge again, this time our challenge is 'Things with Wheels'.


Here are my cards for this challenge, especially the first one stretched my imagination as it was not easy to make the image fit with the challenge. I therefore made the sentiment fit instead. Hope you like them.

(using 'Love Blooms' papers by Floppy Latte Designs and 'Claudia Cow' by Digital Delights)

 

(using 'Full Gear' by Lauretta's Digital Stamps) 

 

(using 'Ice Cream Truck' by The Stamping Boutique) 

Thanks for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated. 

Love,

Jo.

CDAC 14 already.

Afternoon all,

A bit late with this I'm afraid, rather busy at work at the moment and hardly any time for fun.

I have however managed to get this card done using an image that was entered in the previous Digital Drawing Challenges at CDAC.

It's a quickie, but I hope you like it anyway. I have not added a sentiment yet, this gives the freedom to add any sentiment that it may need in future.

and here is the image used:

CRAFT Challenge 147, Handmade Flowers.

Morning all,

Another Thursday brings another challenge here today at CRAFT Challenge again, this time our challenge is 'Handmade Flowers'. 


Here are my cards for this week. The flowers are decoupaged from  Eiglas  flower (she had it as a freebie on her blog a long time ago, but it is still available to be bought now). I coloured it digitally using colours present in the papers used to make sure it would fit well.

CRAFT Challenge 146, House, New Home or House Warming.

Morning all,

Another Thursday brings another challenge here today at CRAFT Challenge again, this time our challenge is 'House, New Home or House Warming'.

(using 'Across the Bridge' and 'This Old House' from Digi Doodle Shop)

(poem by myself)

 

(using 'Bella Bride' by Sassy Studio Designs)

Hope you like them. The poem is my own creation and I have added it below in case you would ever like to use it. Please do give credit to me if you do, thanks.

Across the Bridge is This Old House

Which now is home to a little mouse

But one day this will be

A home for You and Me

With red chequered curtains and candle light

An open fire will be lit at night

In the garden there'll be flowers

The grounds are there to roam

We'll while away the hours

And simply call this HOME

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated.

Love,

Jo.

So, did you guess?

Song Inspiration: 'Row Your Boat'

Row, row, row your boat,

Gently down the stream.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Life is but a dream.

CRAFT Challenge 145, Inspired by a Song, third card.

Morning all,

Another Thursday brings another challenge here today at CRAFT Challenge again, this time our challenge is 'Inspired by a Song'.

Here is my third card for this challenge, hope you like it. Can you guess what song inspired this one?

(using 'Stella - Two Books' by Bugaboo Stamps)

For this card I have used my Wedding 3 papers.

Here are some close ups.

So, did you guess the song?

Song Inspiration: 'Love and Marriage' by Frank Sinatra

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other

Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry 
And they will say it's elementary

Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion 
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like the horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one, you can't have none, you can't have one without the other!

No Sir!

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing you join us at CRAFT Challenge.

Love,

Jo.

Song Inspiration: 'Driving Home for Christmas' by Chris Rea 

(I love this song)

I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas

It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tail lights
Oh, I got red lights all around
But soon there'll be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground

So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
Oh and feel you near me
Driving in my car
I am driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
[Driving Home for Christmas lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]

With a thousand memories

I take look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
Just the same

Top to toe in tail lights
Oh, I got red lights all around.
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Get my feet on holy ground

So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
Oh and feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories.

I take a look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
He's driving home, driving home
Driving home for Christmas.

and 'I'll be Home for Christmas' Whitney Houston

I'm dreamin' tonight of a place I love
Even more then I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

And that is another Christmas card done for this year. A grand total of 48 Christmas cards (excluding 2 for the hubby and 11 karate ones).

CRAFT Challenge 145, Inspired by a Song, first card.

Morning all,

Another Thursday brings another challenge here today at CRAFT Challenge again, this time our challenge is 'Inspired by a Song'.

Here is my first card for this challenge, hope you like it. See if you can guess what the song I had in mind was.

(using 'JJ Ornament - tis the Season' from Bugaboo Stamps)

and here are some close ups. The papers used are from my Christmas 2011 papers.

So, did you guess??

Song Inspiration: 'Deck the Halls'

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 

Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.


Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 

And that is another Christmas card done for this year. A grand total of 47 Christmas cards (excluding 2 for the hubby and 11 karate ones).
