Glitter Geeks DT Week 26 - Decoupage - Sponsored by Joanna Sheen

Hi Guys!
This is another Design Team card which I actually made  a couple of weeks ago. Had an idea in mind and as usual...thoughts of designs and actually making them is another matter!...It is definately an original.
 I wanted a centre panel card but placed backwards like a frame card with steps at the front...I know, I know!! (why don't I just make it plain?..coz I am Crazy Daisy lol) so, I made numerous templates..this being one of them. I eventually got there. Please don't ask for the dimensions...it's a one off I'm afraid.

My Mum's friend bought Joanna Sheen Decoupage last year and then realised how much time it would take to cut out. I love cutting out. I went on a decoupage course aged about 20 so being doing it for a year or (20!)
 She gave me a few of her sheets to keep so I used one in this card as the Sponsor was Joanna Sheen.

Here is the card....



My Christmas Theme this year is red and white alpine wrapping. I had already bought the twine and ribbon. I thought that was all it needed reallly as the main focal point is meant to be the House Mouse mice.

The backing papers I used were from The Forever Friend range and the sentiment came with the decoupage. Added  some glossy accents on the berries and their eyes to give them some dimension. That's it!

Hope you like these cheeky mice as much as I do.
Thanks for reading and best go and make some Christmas cards as I am sooooo behind this year.

Take Care and give that special someone/something an extra Hug...relieve the Christmas stress that will be setting in soon.
Much Love,

First Design Team card...

Hi Guys!!
I have finished my first DT card for www.glittergeeks.blogspot.com
The theme was....Flower Power. Sponsored by Joanna Sheen.
 With Joanna being the Queen of House Mouse. I decided I had better to sort through my stamps. I found this little chap. Think he fits the cause well.

I used:
PolkaDoodles backing papers- From Paper Boutique Vol1 CD
I made the flowers with Marianne dies and used a polka dot Candi for the centres.
The House Mouse stamp.. I have had over 10 years! he is coloured with my favourite-Promarkers :)
The scalloped frames are from the new Sizzix Framelit range. Work great with my Cuttlebug.
The ribbon and pearls are just what I had already in my stash.
One down, so many to go!! :) 
Hope you like it and thanks for looking.
 Take Care of yourselves!
Much Love

Glitter Geek Design Team

Hi Guys,

Sorry I have been AWOL for so long. I have been quite ill with an ear infection which left me completely deaf for nearly 3 weeks. I was allergic to the given meds and had to go to hospital to the ENT consultant..basically it was a nightmare! 
On top of me being ill, Miss Scarlett has had a tummy bug so she has been to the vets for injections and medications too.


Anyway that's the bad news out of the way...I have some brilliant news! The Glitter Geeks have invited me to become a member of their Design Team!! :) I will be adding my work when I can. ... Steph has been wonderful with understanding all my health issues and contributing issues. They are a lovely bunch of girlies and feel honoured to be a part of it all.

I haven't been able to craft so I have been watching Barbara Gray's new DvD. Taken many tips and hoping to make Clarity cards for my Christmas cards this year...Not as easy as it looks I can tell you! 
Going to take ALOT of practise before I can make my work into cards.

Ok, as I haven't got any new cards I thought I would show you all some cards and 'just colouring in' I did a few months before I started this blog. *be warned there might be a few pics!*
