Special Teacher

A quick random selection of papers from Now That's Funky - Sweetie Pie collection.  I've printed some of the papers as A5 and also used some of the sentiment backers plus a sprinkling of co-ordinating card candy.


Nice and simple and rather practical!

Lollipop Flowers


Hi, it's Kathy today, and I've a couple of cards to share this time.
 I've made these using the pretty "Lollipop" colour-way from this month's showcase CD
"Now That's Funky"  

As you can see, I've used the same style for the background, but changed the LO for the flowers and the dies I've used to make them

card 1 

Materials and Tools
"Lollipop"  from the Funky Hand CD "Now That's Funky" 
the designs were printed onto Diamond White Bazzill card 
which has a lovely, subtle sheen 
hand cut banner, decal sentiment
Dies:
"Tea Rose medium" (Cheery Lynn)
Tiny circle punch
Notes:
I used my craft knife to cut an aperture in the card blank, then adhered the patterned paper behind it.
I cut a rectangle from the block design paper, then cut another rectangle from it to leave the narrow border piece


card 2


Materials and Tools
"Lollipop"  from the Funky Hand CD "Now That's Funky" 
the designs were printed onto Diamond White Bazzill card 
which has a lovely, subtle sheen 
 decal sentiment
Dies:
"Hybrid Rose" (DieNamics)
Leaves cut with "Build a Flower no2" die set (Cheery Lynn)

Notes:
This time I didn't cut an aperture in the card itself.
I cut another border piece from the leftover block-design rectangle from card 1, then just cut a smaller rectangle from the leafy, flowery design to fit inside.


Don't forget, this CD is on offer in the SHOP for just £1 at the moment so don't miss out! Here's a quick look at just some of the designs you'll get on the CD



We'd love to see what you make with Funky Hand goodies too.....
Thanks for visiting today

Marleen DT - Scrappage

Hi everyone..

2nd post of this month for

This month the DT is playing with the 
You can find it and all the other goodies in the STORE.  

For today Ive made a scrappage.
Once again Ive gone for the A4 format simply because I only have an A4 printer lol
For a long time I didnt scrapbook much, especially for my DT post, simply because I normally only scrap in 12x12 but since trying my hand at the A4, Im enjoying scrapping again.

Ive even opened my own scrapbooking group on Facebook, so if you are a scrapbooker or just fancy a nosy or maybe even want some inspiration to try your hand at, why not pop over, we'd love to have you. Join us HERE.

Here is what Ive made for today using the digital papers from the "Now thats Funky" CD.

 



This page is simply put together with a couple of sheets printed from the CD with a few added embelishments from my stash. I have to admit, Im more of a vintge girl, so I dont have much in my stash that is "Funky", but I think I managed a fresh and fun page.
My daughter has already claimed the page for her room as it features my SIL's dog who has sadly passed away not long ago. Both of my kids has know him since they were babies and they both loved loved to play with him and our own dog out on the lawn. Needless to say, this really is a special memory.
And that is all from me for today.
Many thanks for popping by and for any comments left behind.

A Special Shoe

Sometimes I have an idea. And then I let it swirl around. Sometimes for a few hours, sometimes for a few days. And sometimes for a few weeks. This was one of those ideas.

The brief was to make something special for a work colleague for his wife's 50th Birthday.  I'd been given a list of likes and because I knew her as well I decided to combine it with her bright and funky personality.

So enter Now That's Funky and the Lollipop paper collection.

Everything I've made is from my own templates with some inspiration from Pinterest here and there. Plus some half pearls and lots of half glass diamonds for bling plus a die cut sentiment.



I was given a verse to use which I printed onto a medium scallop Sizzix tag and then cut a larger size so that a message could be handwritten onto it.  This fitted beautifully into the shoe!  More luck than planning!


The shoe was actually quite easy to make once I'd got my head around what I needed to do and how it would glue together.  I reinforced the heel just in case and the sole of the shoe has the same papers as inside the box.


It created quite a bit of a stir in the office when I brought it in to hand over.  And the recipient loved it!
