Hodge Podge Blog Challenge

Sorry guys, it seems that this Challenge will not be happening until 13th January 2011 as due to the Christmas Period, the current challenge will last a little longer, so, as I cannot delete this posting, here it is, a little advanced warning about the upcoming challenge.

Here is my challenge card for the Hodge Podge Challenge, 'White on White (with a hint of...) mine is pink!

I used one of HP images, which I printed off and added 'If friends were flowers... I'd pick you' beneath.

I then added some pink with my new Copics and added the white and pink flowers, a white ribbon, a greeting (from Craftwork Card) and some pins. Job done! Hope you like it and I look forward to seeing your cards in this weeks challenge.

HPS Challenge #4 Anything Goes

Okay girls
Here's the latest Hodge Podge Shop Challenge: ANYTHING GOES!

Make whatever you like (preferrably using a Hodge Podge image, but not essential). Here's my card:

I used the Hodge Podge Shop ice cream and one of my cute Forever Friends bears, which is actually holding a bottle of champers but I placed the ice cream over the top and decoupaged his hands over the top of the cornet! You can't see it very well in this picture but it has been decoupaged. The letters spelling 'Elaine' were also added using foam pads.  The DP's are by My Minds Eye and come from the 'Just For Girls' paper stack.

The birthday greeting is from Craftwork Cards and I just added some Prima flowers and some pearls.

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by and Good luck with the Challenge!

P.S. I will be announcing the winner of the HPS Digi Stamp (chosen randomly from the comments left on the HPS Challenge posted on MY blog) on the 30th November, when Hodge Podge Shop Blog will announce the overall winner of the Blog Hop. Good luck and thanks for all your comments x

HPS Challenge #2 Monochromatic

Okay girls

Hodge Podge Challenge Number 2, is all about 'Monochromatic' so get your cards in for this fortnights challenge over at the Hodge Podge Shop.

You don't have to use a Hodge Podge image to take part but it helps. Here's my card for the DT and I hope you will make some time to join us. We had some amazing cards in for the last challenge. It'll be nice to see some new faces as well as the ones who took part last week.

My card is using one of the Hodge Podge Shops digi stamps and just white, grey and black to colour. The background has been stamped with a clear heart stamp and black ink only. The text was printed off the printer.

Hope you like it and I'll look forward to seeing your creations soon.

Bye for now
Thanks for stopping by.

H-Owling Hallowe'en

Hi girls
As promised, here is my FIRST DT challenge card for the Hodge Podge Blog.

I distressed two different but similarly coloured designer papers buy rubbing a copper ink pad over the top and around the edges. I then mounted both DP onto gold mirri card and then printed off the Hallowe'en Owl (available at Hodge Podge Shop). 

I used ProMarkers: Henna, Cocoa, Shale, Primrose Yellow, Canary, Pumpkin and Apricot. I then highlighted certain areas with a gold Sakura Gelly Roll pen.

I added a gold Craftwork Cards sentiment and some orange miniature 'aster' flowers.

Hope you like it and hope you too will take some time to make a card for the Hodge Podge Challenge No1 tomorrow. Good luck.

Thanks for stopping by

Hodge Podge Challenge #1

The new Hodge Podge Challenge blog's FIRST challenge will begin on 7th October.

Be sure to pop over and take a look. Not only am I on the DT (no laughing at my photo now... be nice!) but there are also some very talented girls on the DT. All of whom make fantastic cards.

If you want to join in, click the Hodge Podge link on my side bar or click here. It might be nice of you to check out the DT before the first challenge and check out their blogs, there's some pretty cool inspiration for you.

Hope you can make it and we all look forward to seeing your creations.
Bye for now.
