By request....

I got a request for a female version of the Jerry Digi...and here she is...

 not sure how many female drummers there are 'out there' .......I reckon I'd love it! I'm always sitting tapping out a rhythm on the table...or on my knees...or... well you get the picture!
You can grab her here
right.... I'm off to bed now...

Pollycraft Challenge #86 Reminders and teasers....

Hi all...
Today Jane has set us a new challenge over on the Challenge blog 

FRIENDS

Unfortunately I havent been able to join in with a card this week, because I've been busy with other things... Some of which will be 'sort of' revealed later in this post...
but there is LOADS of inspiration from the DT girls... and from our lovely guests who are sadly in their final week with us!
Thankyou Anita and Jennifer!!
its been a pleasure working with you!!

Also a reminder that today is the last day to grab the current freebie...


AND have you taken advantage of the current offer???
50% off Digis when you spend over £10... and 2 freebies to choose from, just for buying!!
use code: MAR50OFF
Offer ends on Friday 1st!

You can even add the Flo freebie to your basket at the same time... so get £10 worth of digis for £5, and 2 freebies too.... How MAD am I?

okay...so part of the reason I have been so naughty and not joined in with this weeks challenge is that I have been busy doodling... and there are 2 new sets of DIGIS due to be released VERY soon...
You might start to see sneeky peeks from the DT over the next few days, but I'm going to tease you now...

Due for release on the 4th April...
Can you guess what they are??
there are 7 images due in this new set... (which is SET 2 in a collection) here are teeny sections of 3 of them....

 and due for release on the 11th April... a brand new character...
8 new images in this set.... here are lil sneeky bits of 3...

hmmmmmmm.......got you wondering??
check out the DT's blogs over the coming days to see more...

right... I'm off to get some tea, and then play Scrabble with my Son! I won last night, so its payback time me thinks!!

thanks for reading....

Pollycraft Monday Challenge #84 - Teens!

Goooooooood Morning.... and Happy Monday to you all...
Hope everyone had a good weekend?
its been a quiet one here, but boy did it speed by...

Monday means challenge day over at Pollycraft and this week its the lovely Sheenas turn to set the theme for us....
I think you'll like this one ALOT more than my tricky one last week!!

TEENS

I think cards for Teenagers are the MOST fun to make!! trouble is its a couple of years before I really need to make any!!
Heres my creation for this week... which could really be used for an adult too...

I've used Sonny Honeycloud - My way... she is SO cool with her unique style...
she doesn't care what anyone thinks, and just does it 'her way'...
PERFECT for a teenager then!

I printed her slightly larger so that I could just use her top half...
And coloured her with promarkers...
You can also get Sonny in a Rubber stamp version HERE

I've roughly cut her out, and mounted her onto some white textured card, cut with my oval nesties
The papers are ALLSORTS... I've been really good trying to use up off cuts...
the die cut letters are from a crate paper set, they weren't quite the right colour, so I coloured them with promarkers...
to finish I've added a few flowers, buttons, brads and gems from my stash, and doodled the edges....

Hope you like??!?!

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Friday Sketchers -  GORGEOUS Sketch below


Fab n Funky - Girly/Womanly
DYSU - Layers

Thats me for today...
be sure to check out the work from my FABULOUS Design team...

..................................................................................
Today its my turn to set the challenge over at the Pollycraft Challenge...
I wanted to get you thinking this week....
my theme is:
'Fly me to the moon'

there really are SO many ways to play this one, if you really think about it...
think 'space'.... 'the moon'.... 'flight'....have fun with it...

Heres what I came up with...

I used Burt the Owl,and removed his branch (it didnt hurt him!! honest!)
I created a moon for him to sit on...(so even if you havent got any images that 'fit' you can make them work!)
The moon has been crackle glazed, but its quite subtle, as I don't think I added enough... Can't get it to show on a piccy!
The paper is digital, from a cherry on top, and I added the text in my graphics program before printing...
The swirls were stamped using an accessory stamp that came with a whimsy carousel horse stamp.
Then I just added a few red heart buttons as finishing touches!!

The sentiment worked in my head, but i'm not sure if it takes too much thinking about...?
it reads
I love you 'owl' the way to the moon and back...

I thought it was quite sweet!

...................................................................................
And last but not least...
I've just added this little lady to the shop....


You can grab her for FREE until the 28th March...

Can I please just say...
If you take her, give me some feedback!!
I hate to be a pain, and spit my dummy, but I used to add a new freebie EVERY week... and some weeks over 1000 people took it...Only a tiny percent of those people said thanks! 
 I've lost followers since I stopped doing weekly freebies, and have even had people complain!! can you believe that?
I even used to get people TELL me what they would like to see as the next freebie!!
lol!! you have to laugh really!

anyway....I understand that now you are taken away from the blog to place an order for the freebie, its easy to forget to come back here, but sometimes a better way to say thanks is to use the freebie, and share what you've created!!!

its not a rant, just a little thought... put yourself in my shoes!
okay.... nuff said...sorry about that.... lol!!!!

Enjoy Flo, Grab a bargain... and get creating!!

Have a great day!
