Dotties World Sunday challenge

The challenge over at Dotties World this week is:
This week I want to see stitching, hand or machine - but REAL stitching, no faux stitching like I am so fond of in my work!You must of course use one of more of the many, wonderful Charmed Downloads but the rest is up to you.

I thought I'd go for something different this week, and as I needed a place to put all my quote books I decided on a storage box.

I covered the box using DCWV papers and lined it with sticky back papers.

I've used an image and quotes from "Girls about town" which is one of the fabulous downloads available at Charmed cards and crafts

The image is coloured using Pro Markers.
I've hand stitched around the quote on the lid and stitched together some fabric petals to make a skirt for Nicola. I've also added some decorative stitching to the skirt.

I've also used Anitas sticky ribbons and a dismantled flower from Wilkinsons.

Dotties World Sunday challenge

The challenge over at Dotties World this week is "Lurve"I've used an image from the back to front collection and papers from DCWV.

On the front of the card you see the front image of Dottie and when you open the card you see the back image of Dottie.

The images are coloured using Promarkers.

This is the view from the top of the card so you can see how it works.

Message book

I've made this for my darling Daisy who is leaving school this year. It is so her friends can write messages in it. It also has little pockets on some of the pages so she can put mementos in. I can't beleive she's leaving school already! It only seems a few years since she was born! lol

Dotties World challenge

I've been lucky enough to be picked as guest designer at Dotties World along with Tip Top for February, and this is my 1st challenge as a GD.
The challenge was:
Spring is nearly here......so I want to see shades of yellow & green

I think the Hippy Dottie image really suits a spring theme. I've used Promarkers to colour the image and used my Purple cows trimmer to cut the edges. The paper used is from DCWV matchmakers 2 paper stack.
This image really reminds me of my college days soooo long ago, lol

Remember to come back next week to see what the next challenge is.

Another Dottie card!

Yet again I have been inspired by the Dottie and George back to front collection. I've been trying to figure ways of best showing off both sides of the images. I came up with the design of this card. A couple of them ended up in the bin to start with, but I got there in the end. And even if I do say so myself, I think the design works great with these images. I've also combined it with the Sunday challenge over at http://dotties-wonderful-world.blogspot.com/

Yet another Dottie and George card

I`ve used an acetate cover on this card so you can see the both sides of the image.

Dottie Mega card

After getting the Dottie & George back to front images from Charmed cards and crafts (see bilnkie on right), I wanted to do a card to show some of them off and this is what I came up with. It is a 3 layered gatefold card with the middle layer having a double gatefold on. I had great fun making it. All the images are coloured using promarkers and the paper are from Papermanias raspberry champagne creative tones.

Super Hero George

I got the new Back to front Dottie and George collection from Charmed cards and crafts (see the blinkie on the right to buy). My neice asked me to do a card for her friend who is a skinny little thing and of course George was my first thought, and I thought this image was perfect. I hope he sees the funny side of it.

The images are coloured using my Promarkers.
