Happy Birthday Girl


I took part in the Progressive Freebie challenge at Outlawz last month so was given this image for April. It is Sassy Big Eye Girl Sorry Sally from Oddball Art Co. It comes with 3 sorry sentiments and a heart so quite a versatile set. The image is coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers

There is a challenge for everyday of the week at Outlawz as well as extras such as use your stash and the progressive freebie. It really is a great place to fire your creativity.

I used the Wednesday sketch from Outlawz for the layout, flipping it to suit the placement of the sentiment on the left hand side of the image.


All papers are from my scraps drawers and matched with the colour scheme of black and red. The red glitter card was recycled from a Christmas card. The star is hand cut, I was dead chuffed how neat that turned out.

The star theme was also carried through to the sentiment and the silver charm. Look at me actually using embellishments instead of hoarding them.


Materials Used in this Project are as follows:- 
Card size –  A5
Paper – All from my scraps drawer
Sentiment – Self adhesive sticker from a DCWV card pack
Tools - Promarkers & Flexmarkers
Techniques – Colouring
Embellishments - Papermania brad & star tag, gems & Stickles glitter glue

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges (in Alphabetical Order)

Good Luck Giraffe


My hubby asked me to make a leaving card for a work colleague who is moving on to pastures new. She loves giraffes and I was asked to add one to it. I myself love giraffes and already had this little cutie coloured so it was fairly quick to put together.

The image is Ollie the Giraffe from Limited Runs Digital Stamps. I have had it some time and cannot see on their site any more. It is coloured with Promarkers & Flexmarkers. here is some Sakura glitter pen added to the dots and glossy accents to the eyes to make them shiny. He was fussy cut and mounted on 3d foam.


For the layout I used the current sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. The paper is giraffe themed from my stash, I think it may have been a magazine freebie. The panel Ollie is mounted on was recycled from and old greetings card, cut into shape to match the sketch and distressed the edge with an ink pad. This is also layered up on foam squares.

The sentiment is mounted onto layers of the same paper and card.

To finish I added some paper flowers and gems to add a bit of girly twinkle.
