Quixotic Challenge # 15 - One For the Boys......

Hi everyone!
YAAAAYYYY! It's Friday already and I'm so looking forward to a nice chillaxing weekend ;o)

My card has been made for this week's Quixotic Challenge where the theme is boys...... are you groaning, lol? Come on, you know you love making male cards!!! As I've said recently I quite enjoy the challenge of making these cards now and with less embellies available I think the focus has to be on the image and papers!

I've used paper from the Basic Grey Eerie collection, not just for Halloween you see! I bought it from Elaine's store Quixotic Paperie. My image is George from the Dottie and George collection over at Charmed Cards. This card is for a work colleague of mine and the sentiment has been computer generated..... now you must be wondering why I'm saying 'Happy Birthday You Punk'..... I can assure you it's a term of endearment in this case, I promise, lol! It's just the way we greet each other on a day to day basis.... in fact it's pretty mild compared to some of the things we say, hee hee!

Thanks to everyone who left some amazing comments on my last card, I was so flattered and glad you liked what I did especially as I haven't tried the crackle effect before!

Have a fantastic weekend.....

Charisma Cardz Week 6 - Think Male........

Morning everyone!

Do you know, I'm not put off by making male cards anymore..... in fact I quite enjoy the challenge!!! This card was made for my son's friend who turned eleven and can often be found listening to his i-pod. I asked him what sort of music he likes and he told me rock is his fave, so that's where the sentiment came from!

I'm entering this one into the Charisma Cardz Challenge as the theme this week is 'Think Male'. I used various Basic Grey papers and my image is Mikey from Charmed Cards and Crafts.

Must go now as I'm dashing to work...... catch you all later!

Have a great day and take care..... TTFN and TFL, hugs Tara xxx

Colour Create 39 - Red, Pink, White/Off White and Chocolate.....

Hiya Peeps!

I have the greatest of honours today as I've been asked to fill the guest spot on Colour Create for their first birthday!!! As some of you may remember, I first started the challenge this time last year (can't believe it's been going that long already) and had the pleasure of working with the most amazing Design Team. Unfortunately, things got a bit hectic for me and I was considering folding the challenge when Sharon very kindly stepped in to keep it going....... and ever since that time the challenge has gone from strength to strength and it is all credit to Sharon and her wonderful team, plus the vast army of loyal followers who take part and make it the huge success it is today! So 'Happy Birthday' Colour Create, I'm proud of you and long may you continue!

This week's colour theme is red, pink, white/off white and chocolate, YUM!! I made my card using a download from the Pixie Collection at Charmed Cards and Crafts and my papers are from Basic Grey's Blush range. The flower and leafy swirls were both created using Sizzix dies and the sentiment is Magnolia.

Before I go I must just show you what's on the horizon with new Basic Grey collections...... this'll leave you salivating I bet, hee hee.......

Enjoy the rest of your day and thanks so much for stopping by ;o)
