Cosie's Creative Corner

Cute Just Got Cuter Have just re-organized my craft room and catching up with some card making. I will not be doing any changes for a while, if ever as it has taken days to sort and then find things again. Hubby helped to pack it up so we could put more shelves in after the new carpet and he throw things in any box and didn't label any of them. At least I have more work space and he was was a great help. The card image was a freebie I have had printed out for awhile and it was time I used it. Have a friends birthday coming up and she has just acquired a new dog so thought this would be a great image for her birthday card. Coloured the image with copics and used a scarp of PP from an old pack from Gina K that I adhered to a aqua card base. Kept it simple and I am looking forward to making more with the box of images I found to colour. Copics:  Dog: E000,00,23,25,31,R20. Bow: BG11,15,49. Ground: W3,5. Shadow C0. Red Fine Tipped Gel Pen was used for the heart....

Make Some Noise Just a quick post as I had a mad dash to visit my DD Tammy. She lives 4hrs away and she has had a bad week with the news her precious cat has been diagnosed with diabetes. I just wanted to cuddle her and lend my support. Her little fluff ball Lilly is her baby but they think they can get it under control. I had started this card at home and grabbed my copics to finish it if I had time but that didn't happen. Lucky for me this weeks is anything goes so will enter it for that. The digi is from Birdie Brown but she no longer has her shop but still designs for MFT. The sentiment and music are from an old stamp set from Annabelle Stamps. She was an Australian online shop that is no longer in business. It was a shame as she designed some lovely sets. The music note is from a Darkroom Door set. Copics: Dog: E51,53,55,57.

I Woof You! All about dogs is the theme for this weeks challenge as August 26th was National Dog Day. My biggest challenge was what dog to colour. My eldest DD as an adorable old dog that is such a big part of her life that I make lots of doggie cards with her in mind. I decided on this lovely image from Wild Rose Studios called Tilly with Flowers. I have used it so many times as is so versatile so was sorry to hear it is discontinued. They have a beautiful range of cute stamps. The greeting is from an old set from Kraftin' Kimmie called Canine Capers 1 . The image is coloured with copics then cut out with the largest stitched square die from Simon Says Stamp   and taped to a pink card base. It would be suitable for so many different occasions. Copics: Dog: N1,3,5,7,9. Roses: R81,85,89. Leaves: YG03,05,09. Ground: E70,71,74. Shadow: BV0000,01

January's Challenge - Dachshund in Love This year I am going to try and do my blog more often than last year. Should manage as last year was terrible. My first post is for the Gerda Steiner designs challenge . If you buy the image and make a card she will send you next months challenge image free. A great way to add to your collection and the images are gorgeous. I coloured the dachshund with copics, cut out some extra balloons and a nice simple card. The CS is all odd pieces from my stash and an old piece of alcohol ink background. The sentiment was an old one that was given to me so don't know from who. Stitched Squares from SSS Stamps, some twine and one sequin. Copics: Dachshund: C3, C5, C7. Balloons: BV0000, V15, V17, BG10, BG13, BG23, YR00,YR12, YR16. Shadows: E47, BV0000. Black Multiliner; 0.1 Entering this into the Gerda Steiner January Challenge

Valentines Card Managed a quick card for my DH for valentines day and he was lucky to get one as it has been very hectic around our place.  The PP, sentiment and stickers are from Docraft s It must be Love collection. Metallic heart brads from stash and ribbon from WIP . This is the reason I haven't been doing to much.  We have acquired a new pet.  His name is Archie and he is a rescue dog, about 5 yrs old and has epilepsy. Because of his health problems they couldn't resettle him but he is gorgeous and how could you not give him a second chance. Did I mention he is also has only has about 20% hearing. He is settling in but hates being on his own. To this mix add our DD's Lab cross as they lost their house roof in a freak storm on Australia day and are in temporary accommodation for three months. Ah life wasn't meant to be easy but it sure is interesting.
