Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

It's that time of week again for a new Stamptacular Sunday Challenge.  Thank you to everyone who took part in last weeks challenge "Scallop Mania" all such wonderful creations using scallops.

This week we wanted to add a little humour for our challenge theme....

"OFF THE WALL....SLAP YOUR KNEE FUNNY"

We would like to see your cards showing a little humour be it the stamped image and/or the sentiment or verse.  The DT can't wait to have a giggle seeing your creations.  But first you can have a giggle yourself by taking a look at all the DT cards and creations.  Here's mine..

Now this was a bit of a toughy for me, I'm usually the last to get a joke, sometimes I just plain well can't understand them, and as for remembering a joke well lets not go there.  Luckily I had this fab image and verse sent to me in an image swap amongst the DT some months ago.  This is Ethel and Coffee by Rubbernecker, coloured her with copics and promarkers then cut her out.  I tried to set a scene of a wallpapered wall behind her.  The pink dp is from Funky Fairys 'Nanna's Wallpaper', quite an apt name don't you think.  I've used some cream card for the skirting board and dado type rail between the dp and plain white card.  I found a die-cut vase in my stash so cut out a walking stick so that it sits in the vase.  I used some die-cut frames from Kanban to go around the sentiment so it kinda looks like a picure on the wall.

I hope my card raised a smile or even better a giggle.

We do hope you'll join in with our humourous theme and we can't wait to see what you come up with.

Enjoy your Sunday!!!

Funky Fairys Blog Hop & Candies

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Funky Fairy blog hop this week, we hope you all had fun.

THE HOP AND CANDIES ARE NOW CLOSED!!

The winners will be announced on the Challenge and Inspiration blogs on Wednesday 9th September, and I will also announce the winner of my candy here on my blog the same day.

Enjoy your day!!

Three challenges in 1

What a wet blustery day we have had today, the heating is on as it's so nippy out, even wore my boots with leggings today, time to put the summer clothes away I think.

Only popped to the shops today as feeling a little under the weather with a sore throat, it's been brewing for a few days with achy limbs, limbs feel ok today it's just my throat and feeling quite tired but I've done a little crafting DT stuff mainly but I did a card for three challenges too.

 

I've used one of the lovely Twiddly Wings images from Pollycraft, coloured with copics, promarkers and shimmer chalks.  Papers are Funky Fairys - Simply Brushed (orange) and Softly Shabby (pink).  The teal card is from my stash.  Flowers are orange prima's with punched flowers from the teal coloured card.  I'm really not happy with this picture as the colours are showing all wrong, but I gave up in the end trying to get a good pic.

As I mentioned earlier this card fits three challenges:-

Stampin for the Weekend - Colour theme, Orange, Teal & Pink.

Sketch Saturday - Followed the wonderful sketch.

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Flights of Fancy (winged things).

Enjoy your evening and weekend everyone whatever your plans.

Funky Fairys Challenges and Blog Hop

***BLOG HOP & CANDY NOW CLOSED***

Welcome to the 1st Funky Fairy's Blog Hop to celebrate the merging of the Shop & Challenge Design Teams. We thought that we had to mark this occasion & celebrate with a "Funky Fairy" party . . . or a blog hop in this instance!

Now the theme this week over on the Challenge Blog is "Case It". This simply means that we have been looking at each others fab projects and choosing one to "CASE" (case is an acronym for Copy And Share Everything) so you create a project using someone else's work as your inspiration but do not need to copy it exactly. Well as you can imagine all the DT members got involved & have pulled "a blinder" this week and if you follow the blog hop you will see all their brilliant projects. Please do leave a comment on every blog you visit to be eligible for the fab prize being offered by Funky Fairy's Papercrafts (via the Inspiration Blog) . . . we will check you know!

Here is my project . . . .

 

  

Now I drew inspiration for this mosaic box by CASING a wonderful project by Lorraine for the 'Dare To Be Sqaure' challenge back in April.  Here is a picture of Lorraine's inspiring project.

For my box I used Funky Fairys 'Simply Brushed' papers for the mosaic squares. The box was a plain wooden craft box from The Range.  I painted the box lid with grey acrylic paint and the box base with purple and green twinkling H2O's then rubbed down with some sandpaper.

Now you have just left Jilly's blog & already got their letter but please don't forget to collect my letter which is "N". At this point you should have 8 letters. The next blog you need to pop over & visit is Ginny's Blog. If you have not collected all the previous letters, please pop back to the beginning of our blog hop over on the Inspiration Blog.

****CANDY ALERT****

I'm offering one lucky winner a little bit of candy to be eligble for my candy draw you must have taken part in the Blog Hop, so when you leave a comment please say your on the "Funky Blog Hop".  The candy will close at 9 a.m. (GMT) on Friday 4th September.  A winner will be drawn randomly and announced on the new Funky Fairy challenge and on here next Wednesday 9th September.  Now what is the candy you are wondering, well the lucky winner will recieve the above mosaic box which I made for this weeks challenge with some surprises inside.

We do hope you are enjoying the Funky Fairys Blog Hop and it would be wonderful if you took part in our CASE It challenge too, where this week the challenge is also being sponsered by Simon Says Stamp. 

Enjoy your day!!! 

Some Blog Awards

I have some blog awards that have been very kindly awarded to me over the past couple of weeks.

This was awarded to me by the lovely Moni.

 

This circle of friends award was given to me by the wonderful Lisa.

 

And this gorgeous 'Inspiring' award was awarded to me from the lovely Poppy.

Thank you ladies for these wonderful awards they are much appreciated.

Forgive me but I'm not going to pass these on to individuals as I know many have these awards, and I'm struggling to get the time to actually blog hop at the moment.  However, I am awarding these awards to all my wonderful friends and visitors who take the time to visit my blog and leave such wonderful comments, especially when I'm being such a bod blogger myself lately.  I am working my way around honestly!!

So please accept these with my thanks and love.
