Dawnies ATC swap

Morning Campers, Hi de Hi (ho de ho) throw back from 80s TV in UK I used to love that  series, do impressions of Peggy (Sue Pollard) Ted (Paul Shane) and the Welsh one (Ruth Madocks) (what was the characters name?) Was it Gladis? I can't find it on the web on the DVDs but not the character names don't you hate it when that happens ;0) See there I go again off on a tangent lol. 

Any way picked my James up today, we are out all day tommoro so don't know how much if anything I will get done lol so I hope you enjoy these as a wee stop gap. 

It was Gladis Pugh (found it thank you Play.com) lol just bought series 1&2 for £6.99 that 's not much for a walk down memory lane. I love 'The Darling buds of May' been watching them on gold. Catherine Zeta-Jones BEFORE HOLLYWOOD... Couldn't resist it all six series for less than £12 good family, no harm, TV entertainment, Love it. If I want a DVD I always goto Play.com first I only put them down because I have always got great value and fab service. (I know it's not crafty so hope you for give me wafferling for last few min's lol)

You may remember I asked for some ATC swap buddies. Well I got a lovely lady called Petra who wanted to swap so I set the theme of 'Cinema' and we swap 3x ATC each month. this being the 1st one. I have kept one back for my self. I do hope she likes these, any suggestions for what the theme could be for May?

Any way I thought I would also enter a challenge with these as Simon Says theme is 'Movies or something to do with movies' you can't goto the cinema/movies with out a ticket or POPCORN (sweet of course).

Here's a close up, I have used some stamps and then coloured this one with copics to look like the old pop corn packets added some stickles to bling it up a wee bit and then stamped the  ticket and added some sticky cousions and used the same copic colours and stickles.

Not like me but these two are almost the same but I thought looked very different, enough to warrent doing two. I went more with a vintage look and used distresss stickles 'rock candy' understated bling I love it!

Then finally I used the other stamps in the plate and created this. I love the vintage so continued with the distress inks and folded the film real (well they often snaped or melted) what do you think? I hope Petra likes these. I almost feel as though I cheated as the stamps have done so much of the work here. But I didn't want to add ribbon (for a change) or embellies as I thought it would take away from the feel of the theme.

I do hope she likes them. I am happy with how they look and they are even better IRL but as I said I do feel like the stamps did most of the work. What do you think? did I cheat? Love Dawn xx

Items Used:- Tim Holtz stamps Stampers Annonymous. Distress Inks & Stickles also stickles by Ranger.

2nd post of the day. A Yummy challenge card for you.

 

This will be the 2nd post of the day please look at my LO  of James below. Speaking of which, grand son (James) goes home today, bless he had such a wonderful time in the garden yesterday, it was like the first beautiful spring day warm with the sun shining BLISS. However, before he came I managed to make a few projects and looks like they have posted really well, glad your all stopping by and I have seen some new faces too, your all very welcome.

On to my card, This was another one of the freebies from valentine as I only have one PB image so she sent a few to keep me going a wee while until I can buy a couple more and they are wonderful images aren't they?  So you may gather this is for the challenge run by Penny Black which this week is a sketch, I will also use this for Simon Says &  Allsorts which is so make something for your Mum or some one is like a mum to you. I don't know who to give this too as yet! maybe mum or maybe a good friend but I certainly had a mother figuer in mind when I made this, I wish I had put a few flowers in adition on the front. (so may add them before a give it away).

 

I love the string of pearls, and I was very pleased with the colouring only a simple image but looks very cute I hope you like it too! Love Dawn xx

Challenge card

A challenge card, For Magnolia which this week is for Birthday, simple enough! Next is for Simon Says which is vintage with flowers and finally Sketch Saturday to follow the sketch! And Paper Take Weekly is Buttons, Bows, brads or bling. I have gone for Buttons & bows go to their blog for more info and a look at the DT creations. They are all worth a look!

Here is a close up. I have coloured her head scarf, shoes and dress with ditress ink as I just loved this colour so much. The rest is the usual copic markers. I though the colour was perfect for a vintage feel not too bright a very nice muted colour.

 

And a wee bit of lace and button doesn't go a miss to add to the vintage feel. I hope you like this card. I hope I can get messy again soon and make something different with all the new goodies I have been getting recently. As always I value all my visitors, I may have to give some candy away soon as it's been over a year since I began blogging and I hadn't even realised it's been so much fun! and it's thanx to craft and the visitors to this blog so look out for it no idea what it will be. Love Dawn xx
