Time for Hobbies & Interests at CRAFTY CATZ

Good morning well Friday again that can only mean another New CRAFTY CATZ challenge.

This week the lovely Tracey is our host. She would like you to share with us a card or creation showing HOBBIES & INTERESTS

Our Sponsor for this challenge is KENNYK

Pop along to the challenge blog and read all about this fab sponsor and the prize on offer.
So onto my card for your inspiration

I have used Retro selfie for my card and have coloured it with my promarkers.

I decided I was going to make the image to look like the old Polaroid pictures and write a note on the bottom. I have used a old pad for my DP and have used some Black ribbon and candy dots to make a pin board effect to add the picture on. 

Embellishments are paper clips and a spring clip

I hope you like and get my idea.

Now it is over to you. 

Go checkout the rest of the teams makes for extra ideas.

Thanks for popping by and leave me a comment if you have time.

Have a good weekend.

A Cool Dude Birthday - Crafty Catz DT - Embossing

Good morning hope your well and the sun is shining where you are. It has been a cold start but nice and bright with the sun shining. Washer on and hopefully will dry.

Well today we have a great challenge for you at Crafty Catz 

EMBOSSING

So anything goes as long as it has embossing on it. Now if you use wet embossing please say as we dont always see this on pictures and would hate for us to disallow your entry.

Digi and rubber stamps from KennyK are a fun and edgy way to add the perfect dose of attitude and style to all of your creations! 

The creator, the artist, the man: KennyK is a NYC-born professional illustrator who has brought his funky-but-slick, urban-influenced look to the cardmaking and papercrafts world. His signature style can be seen throughout his various collections of sexy pinup babes, sweet 'n sassy girls, cool rockin' dudes, kid’s stuff, retro characters and more atKennyKDownloads.com.

Ok so onto my card and i have used one of our sponsors images called Frankie Knuckles. Wow he is one Cool dude dont you think.

I have gone with Autumn colours for this one using promarkers and Graphit Pens.

Emoccing is a cuttlebug folder and thought it went with the paper echoing the circles. There is 3 design papers Stripe is Cosmo Cricket Joy Ride, the circle is Bobunny Ad Lib Collection and the brown spot behind the sentiments is a off cut from a basic grey pad.

Embellishments are Buttons and some Gold organza ribbon.

So i have a few picture to share with you

This is the from. Computer generated sentiment with Die cut numbers.

DP is actually some wrapping paper that was in a book. Die is a Joanna sheen

Next is the inside showing the POPUP. images coloured with my promarkers and dies are joanna sheen and tonic Birthday sentiment

Eye's Down Look in to CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS

Good morning my blog has been a little quiet this last week and I have missed a few DT creations as I havent been very well again and after being sent home from hospital last Tuesday they decided after a further look at me on Thursday they should keep me in and a few drips and some TLC and a little creeping they let me home. So with that I have some sad news with this and other bits going on at home I have decided to step down from my post at DREAM VALLEY this has be an enjoyable time there and as they had a DT Call felt it right that my place could go to someone that could spend more time. I see that they have picked some really talented people and will be announcing the name very very soon.

Well as it is Thursday and yesterday saw the start of another challenge at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS Ihad better share my card with you sorry for the lateness note to self must do better.
