Crafty Monkey's - Let's get buggy!

For our new challenge at Crafty Monkey's we would love to see your buggy creations. You can use a bug image, any image as long as it has a small bug - butterfly, ladybug, bee etc or bug embellishments.

I coloured in this cute Penny Black image which I received in a swap. I have coloured with my Whisper pens. The flowery paper was sent to me from my Mum's friend Renata. Thank you Renata! The flowers are Jolee's and I have finished my card by adding some button butterflies. I thought the little hedgehog looked like he was starring up at something.

We have a fabulous prize this week which has been kindly donated by
Denise from Whimsy stamps. Thanks so much Denise!

We also welcome Kimmie as our Guest Designer this week. Thank you Kimmie for your beautiful card! Please do pop over and visit Kimmie at her blog.

I hope you get time to join in this week!

Crafty Monkey's - Sketch by Didi

For our challenge this week over at Crafty Monkey's we have a great sketch for you to follow by the very talented Didi. Thank you so much for this wonderful sketch Didi! My cute image is High Hopes Crissy's Snuggle bear. She is so sweet! The sentiment is also HH. The paper was from my Forever Friends stack. The pretty flowers, ribbons and gems were sent to me from my crafty friends for my birthday. My Mum showed me how to chalk the edges of my image and sentiment to soften the edges.




We have a great prize for you this week which has been kindly donated by online craft store - La Boit'a Scap. We also thank Didi for arranging this wonderful prize!
We hope you will join in our challenge and we look forward to seeing your creations. Don't forget to visit Crafty Monkey's EVERY Friday for a new fun challenge.

I will be back in the next couple of days with another card which I need to make tonight. I am going to my friends Hannah Montana birthday party tomorrow. We have lots of fun things planned next week as we have a weeks holiday from school starting today.

Crafty Monkey's - One for the Boys!

For our new challenge this week over at Crafty Monkey's we would love to see your creations for boys/men. An ideal time to get organised and maybe make your Father's Day card. I have made my card for my Grandad's birthday which is at the end of May. The cute image used on my card is from The Greetings Farm. I coloured Ian with Copic Sketch Markers. My Mum showed me how you can tear paper which gives a good effect. The letters, papers and buttons were from Mum's stash. My stash is very girly with lots of pink!

We have a fabulous prize again this week which has been kindly donated by Boni. Thank you so much Boni for your beautiful prize.
