Time for another Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps challenge! This week the challenge has been set by Melanie Holtz, and she would like to see Aperture Cards! As you can see, I’ve gone for a very simple card. Not even any stitching! *shock horror* I didn’t want to distract too much from the gorgeous image, and the delicious [...]
This is the card I created using the third TGF CHA Relay Contest image. I didn’t want to double-post yesterday, so here it is! The image is one of Marina Neira’s critters – Toby Cub. How cute is he? Marina’s designs have definitely grown on me recently, and I’m starting to overcome my fear of colouring [...]
Wednesday again, and time for another Quixotic Challenge! Sadly Martine is leaving the DT this week, but she’s leaving us with a fab challenge: *** Flutter By *** Incorporate butterflies into your project in some way. e.g shaped card or box, image featuring butterflies, butterfly embellishments etc. Thank you Martine! I’m certainly ready to see some [...]

To get the next image, you need to complete and upload a card to the TGF Galeria by 6pm CST tonight, and pop a comment on [...]
Time for another Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps challenge! This week’s challenge has been set by one of our fab Guest Designers – Donna Wardle. Donna has given us all quite the challenge!

I resisted for as long as possible, but it was inevitable that I would end up with some of Motivet’s stamps in my collection. My ability to resist new stamps is almost non-existent! So, this one’s just for fun! This image of Hilda snowboarding was coloured in before the snow melted last week. It just [...]
As usual, the weekend went past in a blur. If only we could speed time up Monday to Friday and then slow it down again for the weekend! Today I’ve got a card to show you, featuring another of Crissy Armstrong’s gorgeous fairy designs from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps. This one is Flower Fairy and you can [...]
SCACD Stamps: Victoria Case Aurora Collection
How are your resolutions/goals for 2010 going? I’m doing far better than usual with mine, which I’m pleased about! Could this be the year that I really do get ahead of myself and get organised? Fingers crossed! The universe does seem to be conspiring to thwart my plans, but I am staying strong so far! [...]

Today’s card features another brilliant digital image from Mo’s Digital Pencil - Video Boy - available HERE. I’ve coloured the image with my trusty Copic Markers. The card itself has been left fairly simple; it’s a boy card, so no fuss, and I also wanted to keep the focus on the fantastic image! Papers are from the Basic [...]
I’ll admit, at the moment I’m a little obsessed with all things Anya/TGF. There is just something so appealing about the images and their clean lines with lots of space to colour and lots of scope to alter. It’s no wonder the TGF lines are so popular! Shamefully I’ve had the Anya/Ian “Matey” set (available [...]
