Dottie's World Challenge

It's Adele's wedding anniversary! Happy anniversary Adele. To celebrate in style Adele has set us an all loved up challenge today, she wants us to make a love themed card using one of the Charmed downloads. Here's what I came up with...

I just love 'Water Lilly' and I think she is perfect for this challenge.

Dottie's World Challenge

Hi folks!
I've actually managed to get a card made! It's not up to much but as I had no mojo whatsoever it's not too bad. The challenge was set by Nicole and she wants us to just use one colour for our backgrounds and embellishments. Great challenge Nicole.
I've gone for green......

As always on the Dottie's World challenges we have to include on of the Charmed downloads, Here I have used one of the Pixie Chicks- in case you're new to my blog I draw all of the Charmed downloads (except for some of the backgrounds which have been expertly drawn by the lovely Karen Mortensen).

It started out as a bit of fun but they very quickly took over my life, causing me to reduce my hours at work and drive my family mad but I love it! If you haven't seen the Charmed Downloads pop over for a look♥

Turkey Beautiful Turkey

Hi folks,

Well I'm back and it seems oh so dull here in Hull. My two weeks in Turkey were just amazing, I feel like I've come back a different person. I really hope we can go back next year.

I'm really not in crafting mode at the moment, my head and my heart are still in Turkey but I have some photos to share with you.

Here we are at the Dalyan mud baths on our last day, my skin felt super soft afterwards.

Our hotel was just perfect and If I return I will be staying there that's for sure. I won a free family photo in a raffle there but the photographer ended up taking loads -which we bought, they're not daft! LOL

Here I am with my son Mikey, great photo eh!
I love these under water shots

This is a bit of an arty shot isn't it? LOL. I didn't know it was being taken but I do like it, it captures the moment perfectly.

I have lots more but I won't bore you with them all at once.

I'm going to be shown around the local gym this afternoon, now that I've reached my target weight I need to get fit and toned up - wish me luck!

Dottie's World Challenge - Black & White

Hi Folks, I hope you're reading this now because I wrote it and scheduled it 3 weeks ago and scheduling has been letting me down a bit recently. As you read this I'll be somewhere in Turkey soaking up the sun!

This week sees Gunn setting her first challenge. She wants us to use black and white with an accent colour (along with a Charmed download of course!)

Here's what I came up with...

It's a bit of a quickie but I think it fits the criteria. I've used the Holly in the USA from the Holly and Madison World Tour download set, I think she looks quite cool in black and white don't you?

I had to cheat a little bit and use my darkest blue as a base colour on my image with black as the shading colour, the thing with black is that it's hear do get any depth if you don't use another colour too. The white T-shirt had to have a little shading too but Gunns a sweetoe, I think she'll let me off ♥

Have a lovely day,

Razzle Dazzle

Adele wants us to use bling and one of the harmed Downloads for the Dottie's World Challenge.

My bling is quite subtle but it's definitely there....

I put lots of little gems around the frame and there is a lot of glitter on there too, this photo doesn't really show it very well though.

The images is the Cornflower Cameo from one of the Pixie Chicks download sets (can't remember which right now) I've added some extra flowers, leaves and some flowere soft to accentuate the flowery area, I think it's turned out quite pretty.

Dottie's World Challenge- Frames and Borders

It was Tara's turn to set the Challenge at Dottie's World this week, This is what she said...

"My idea for a challenge is to create a frame or border somewhere on your card or project. This could be cut out shapes, a picture frame effect or a stamped border perhaps".

This was a simple choice for me, I used one of the frames from the Pixie Chicks download sets

Of course the image is a Pixie Chick too!

I've added quite a lot of sparkle and bling to this one, the Pixie's lend themselves really well to a bit of sparkle don't you think?

Dottie's World Challenge -- Oh La La

It's my turn again to set the DW challenge this week and I decided to join in the French celebration of Bastille day by having a French themed challenge. It's quite loosely French based though, if you want you can just have the french flag colours as your theme. I've gone down the red, white and blue route but I've also used one of the Charmed downloads that I think has a French feel to it. I've used Rosebud from the Pixie Chicks, I think her jaunty hat has a definite french look to it, what do you think?.....

Isn't she a sweetie? I've paper pieced the dress with some nice BG paper. The image is coloured with my Copics.
