New beginnings

Hello and happy new year to all. It is time for another Sunday Song and Rhyme challenge. this time the sponsor is Sherry West Art. The winner will be getting the 3 images used by the DT. 

Our song this time is chosen by Cara:

All I did was print out the image and colour it with promarkers. I added some highlights on the butterflies with a sakura glitter pen. The sentiment is from a set by Simon says stamps which I die cut and matted onto holographic card. I finished it off with some gems.

Now it is over to you. To play in this challenge you do not have to follow the Song/Rhyme to the letter. We only ask that you find something in the song or rhyme to inspire your card/project and that you tell us what your inspiration was in your blog post. (This is required to be eligible for the prize)

take care, Theresa xx

Hello again. Time is going so fast and I have again missed posting by a day.

Baby's First Christmas

By Cj Heck

So, this is Christmas morning...

everyone is here.

I don't really understand it

cause it isn't very clear,

but Mom and Dad are happy,

there's pretty ribbons everywhere,

lots of things that they call presents

and even paper I can tear.

They keep showing me this new stuff,

balls and books and even soxes...

they don't seem to know how fun it is

just playing with these boxes.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IF YOU DO NOT TELL US WHAT INSPIRED YOU, YOUR CARD/PROJECT WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PRIZE DRAW!

So onto my card. I did not use an image from the sponsor. I cut 3 rectangles to make presents and strips of mirri card and glitter card. The bow and sentiment are Memory Box dies. The papers are from Crafter's Companion.

So now it is over to you, good luck. Theresa xx

Warm Wishes

Here we are again with another challenge from Sunday Song and Rhyme. This week our sponsor is Mirtillamente who are offering 2 images to the winner.

Our Song/Rhyme this fortnight is from Susan

What a wonderful bird the frog are!

When he stands he sit almost;

When he hop he fly almost.

He ain't got no sense hardly;

He ain't got no tail hardly either.

When he sit, he sits on what he ain't got almost.

Anon.

I chose to work with a background paper from the sponsor that to me screamed Christmas. I added some sparkle to it with a sakura glitter pen. I was inspired by the phrase: what a wonderful bird.

The sentiment and image are from G45. To finish off I added sakura clear glaze pen to the berries and the cardinal's eyes.

 And now it is for you to join us here, Theresa xx.

The Little Christmas Carollers

By L. A. Franc

We are a band of carollers,

We march through frost and snow,

But care not for the weather

As on our way we go.

At every hall or cottage

That stands upon our way,

We stop to give the people

Best wishes for the day.

We pray a merry Christmas,

Made bright by Christmas cheer,

With peace, and hope, and gladness

And all they may hold dear.

For my card, I chose to work with G45 papers. The sentiment is from a Spellbinders set. I also used rock candy on the roofs of the houses to add some sparkle.

So now all that is left is for you to join us here, Theresa xx

Doggie in the Window

Hello there and welcome to another Sunday Song and Rhyme challenge. Our sponsor this time is Beccy's place, which offers a $10 voucher from their shop.

The song chosen this week is:

(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?

Song by Patti Page

How much is that doggie in the window?

The one with the waggly tail

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie's for sale

I must take a trip to California

And leave my poor sweetheart alone

If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome

And the doggie will have a good home

How much is that doggie in the window?

The one with the waggly tail

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie's for sale

I read in the papers there are robbers

With flashlights that shine in the dark

My love needs a doggie to protect him

And scare them away with one bark

I don't want a bunny or a kitty

I don't want a parrot that talks

I don't want a bowl of little fishies

He can't take a goldfish for a walk

How much is that doggie in the window?

The one with the waggly tail

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie's for sale

I chose to work with an image from a set called Dog Tales too. As I am in full panic mode making Christmas cards I wanted to use the image to make a Christmas card. I coloured the image with grey scale Promarkers and fussy cut it. I found a Christmas lounge paper from Hunkydory which I have had in my stash forever. I created an outside wall using a Crafter's companion embossing folder and oxide inks. The window came with the folder.

The sentiment is from Spellbinders which is die cut 3 times and then I added a black sparkle pen on top. the decoration is also from another Spellbinders set.

 So now it is up to you to come join us. See you there, Theresa xx.

O Tannenbaum

Hi there. It is time for another Sunday Song and Rhyme challenge. This week our sponsor is Fred she said and there is a $10 gift voucher from the shop.

 The song I chose for this challenge is O Tannenbaum and below is the English version:

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy branches

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy branches

Your boughs, so green in Summer-time

Stay bravely green in Winter-time

O Tannenbaum, O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy branches

Let us all remember in our gift giving and our merriment

With our family and friends and loved ones

The real and true meaning of Christmas

The birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

How lovely are, are thy branches

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

How lovely are, how lovely are thy branches

Their pillars all please faithfully

Our trust in God unchangedly

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

How lo-lovely are thy branches

On Comet

On Cupid

On Donder and Blitzen

I chose to work with the line art image called Pine trees. As for coloring it in I used Letraset Promarkers. I added snow by hitting a white sharpie with a ruler. Stickles glitter glue helped to define the snowy ground and I also added some sequins for extra sparkle. The sentiment is a Memory Box die cut out of shiny black card.

Now it is over to you. Please come and join us here. Take care, Theresa xx.

October

Our Song/Rhyme this fortnight is from Lorie

October

by John Updike from A Child's Calendar

The month is Amber,

Gold and Brown.

Blue ghosts of smoke

Float through the town.

Great V’s of geese

Honk overhead.

And maples turn

A fiery red.

Frost bites the lawn.

The stars are slits

In the black cat’s eye

Before he spits.

At last, small witches,

Goblins, hags,

And pirates armed

With paper bags.

Their costumes hinged

On safety pins,

Go haunt a night

Of pumpkin grins.

Our sponsor this time is Polkadoodles and there are prizes up for grabs.

I chose to work with an image called Autumn Wheelbarrow which I coloured using Letraset Promarkers. The papers are from Graphic45. I finished it off with some black sequins.

So now it is over to you to come join us for this challenge. Take care Theresa x
