If it's Tuesday, it must be Outlawz

Good afternoon friends, Yes Tuesday already and officially tomorrow starts the beginning of Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. I must I love this time of year, but our palette for the colour challenge at The Outlawz today is definitely not Autumnal. The colours were chose by my teamie Roxanne

This is my card for the challenge:

Cardstock ...Bazzill, DP was a piece from Wilson & Macglaglan, a local range, I cut the doilies with a Marianne design die. and also the hearts. The sentiment is from a Just Rite stampers range. Finished off with a some lace, ribbon and pearls. I invite you to have a look at the lovely cards made by the other members of the DT and join us in showing your creation. Lovely prizes can be won and our main sponsor for the month is Guylou's Inimitability where you can win a $20 gift certificate. Hope to see you soon, take care.

Outlawz Tuesday colour challenge

Good morning to all my friends,
Yikes... it is already Tuesday..the last before Christmas and another Colour challenge over at The Outlawz.
These are the colours we were given to work with this week, and they have such lovely names.  The added extra was to use pearls.



I was very fortunate to find this Dp for my card that had all the right colours in it.

Paper...white cardstock, matted DP, a piece I had, so don't know the name.

Image is from Tiddly Inks...our sponsor for the month. Coloured the hearts with distress inks and aquarelle pencils, and added glossy accents to the larger ones. Matted onto green and pink card.

Sentiment..also from Tiddly Inks, cut with a Nellie Snellen die and mounted onto a plain oval in pink.

Pearls around the sentiment and in the corner to finish and added a bow.

Was a very simple and easy one to make.

I would love for you to have a look at the fabulous projects of the other DT members. and hope to see one of yours entered in the challenge.

Warm wishes and have a great week. Hope all your preparations are coming along nicely.

Frieda goes to town

Good evening blogging friends.
I have had a busy day with classes, so only posting my GDT card now for the OutlawzTuesday colour challenge. These were the colours we had to work with, and the  twist was add flowers.

For my card I used a digi image from Anne's cards4U Anne has some lovely froggy digital images which are free.
I coloured her with copics and then cut it out, mounted on the lilypad with foam pads. The rest of the picture I coloured with distress inks, and cut that out with a Nestibility, which I mounted over a Marianne die.
Paper: greeen cardstock and a spotted purple which was a piece, punched the corners.
Sentiment is from Whiff of Joy.
Made some flowers to put onto her hat and also for the corner of the card.
Bling for her necklace and pearls finished it all off.
Hope you all have a great week, almost half way and only 39 day to Christmas. Take care.

Outlawz colour challenge

Good evening friends.
 Hope the week has been good so far. I had a great class this morning, but a frustrating afternoon, sorting out internet problems. Hopefully all is resolved.
On the Out lawz colour challenge this week we were asked to use these colours with the twist being to use gingham or houndstooth paper.

My card was made again using an image from one of the sponsors The paper shelter I coloured with distress inks cut with an oval, mounted onto a scolloped oval. Used my cuttlebug to emboss Happy birthday.

Stamped the sentiment onto a tag and mounted with gingham ribbon. Finished off with some pearls.

I will be entering it in the following challenge:

Totally Gorjuss following their sketch.

Enjoy the rest of the week. We are in for a very hot day tomorrow, temps reachinng 33deg. C.

Take care and have fun.

Sew cute

Good morning friends,
Happy Tuesday to you all and for those that celebrate Halloween, hope you had fun.
Well here we are with a brand new month, not many left this year......and then also some news. I was invited to be guest designer for November at The Outlaws...Tuesday colour challenge.  These are the colours to use, and the "November novelty twist"  is to use twine.

I was thrilled ...accepted of course...and here is my first card.

 An actual challenge as I had to come up with my own ideas, No DT cards to guide me... Here's what I did.
Paper ...Papermania..different ranges
Image..  Cute dressmaker from The Paper Shelter     coloured with Distress inkapds I love this image, reminded me of when I was younger and my Mom helped me with making my clothes. I did some faux stitching round the edges
I didn't have any twine, but substituted some flate woven ribbon on a diecut cotton reel
Sentiment...computer generated      and finished off with three buttons.

Hope you like it..so pop over and show us what you make.  Have a great week. Now that Halloween is over, I guess it is full steam into Christmas. Take care and have fun.

Dinosaur birthday

Tomorrow is my grandson Dylan's 4th birthday. At the moment dinosaurs are at the top of his interest list. Has to have a dinosaur cake.... so made him a dino card. I didnt have a stamp for a dino so had to think... here's how I did it.

Paper - brown card stock, matted green which I had run through the numbers folder of the cuttlebug. Coloured the three numbers 4 and then put on glossy accents to make them pop. I used a DP with dinosaurs and cut out the 2 under a tree in the top corner. The paper is from Queen of hearts - dinky dino. It is a local SA company.

Image is taken from a colouring book resized and coloured with aquarelle pencils.
Sentiment is from a local stamping company.
The ribbon tag is from a Nellie Snellen MFD.
I chose the colours because I entered it into a challenge using colours brown, green and pink......hence the pink dino. The challenge is for Monday's birthday card on Outlawz group
Hope you are all enjoying a wonderful weekend. Warm wishes.

Birthday flowers

Good afternoon friends. Hope you are all having a lovely enjoyable, relaxing Sunday. I have a card that I made for one of the many birthdays this month. I followed a sketch on a new group The Outlawz They have lots of different challenges, so if you are looking for something new have a wander over and see what they have to offer.
Paper: White card, matted onto a plain green that was together with the DP in a pad I purchased from a local stationary shop. No name brand . On the DP I used my new MS punch for the border at the bottom.
Image is also from a local stamping company.. Great Impressions. I stamped the flowers twice and coloured them with Twinking H20's. Paper pieced the vase, and cut out the flowers from the second image and glued them over the 1st image. Small rhinestones form the centres.
The sentiment is from Whiff of Joy.
A ribbon finished it all off.

That's all for to-day, still cool and raining so I think I will enjoy a good book for the rest of the afternoon.
Warm wishes.
