Get Well Kitty - Through the Craftroom Door, coloured pencil

This week's sponsor for Through the Craftroom Door is Knitty Kitty!

Knitty Kitties started life as quirky hand-knitted cats made by Annabel to sell at craft fairs. As their
popularity grew, Annabel began to design digital images based on her own gang of mischievous pets. The antics of cats Georgez and Berts, along with their long-suffering doggy housemate Holly Poocherson, have inspired digital stamps for you to download, colour, and use for your own projects
at home.

Join the Knitty Kitty Digis group on Facebook for membership freebies and follow knittykittydigis on Instagram for alerts on the next giveaway!

To shop the full range please take a look at the KKD Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Eekers

For my project, I decided to use the Knitty Kitty Cone of Shame because I'm scheduled for a surgery later this week and will be healing kitty myself for a few weeks.

Wrapping - gel plate stamping, stencilling

Wrapping presents can bring great joy, especially when the scissors seem to shape the paper on their own. I used Cosmic Shimmer paste on a gel plate to print this stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Brew-tiful - stenciling, coloured pencil, Perfect Pearls

Mmmmmm, coffee. No matter how you have it, it's a start to a brew-tiful day. My plaque features Kraftin' Kimmie stamps and inks, Elizabeth Craft Designs stencil, and a Tim Holtz frame.

Special - TTCRD, tag, coloured pencil

This week, our sponsor for the Through the Craftroom Door challenge is very familiar to me, Sheepski Designs!

Living in Leeds, Yorkshire in the UK, working full time as a Management Accountant, currently working on 2 design teams and an obsessive crafter and creator of cards. I have no actual style as yet but do love the unusual and quirky. I may be known for producing cards in soft pastel colours.

I love anything arty. I've always drawn stuff, for as long as I can remember. In my younger days I sold a few watercolour paintings. I recently found mixed media which is a joy and love creating canvases with flowers.
I had a battle with digital drawing for about a year and finally found some software I could gel with. January 2016 a challenge team I worked on was short of a designer's images to create with so I drew some. I opened my shop a month later so I could sponsor challenges and give something back to the crafting world, to the lovely ladies who have supported me on my journey.

I've a Facebook group SheepSki Designs where I hold challenges, some for fun to win digis as well as my monthly card challenge. I've a SheepSki Designs challenge blog as well. Things are growing slowly (thankfully) so I still manage to spend at least a little time with my hubby :D
Welcome to my world

My project features Forget-Me-Knot on a bookmark tag with Tombow pencil colouring and Distress Oxides on glossy paper peeking out from an Elizabeth Craft Designs tag die with a Unity Stamps sentiment.

Snow Angel - Sheepski Design, alcohol marker, embossing

Sunflower - Through the Craftroom Door, watercolour pencil

Autumn is a time of harvests and thanks.

Though the Craftroom Door's blog challenge is sponsored by Di's Digi Designs this week. I used the Scarecrow Bear to create an Autumn Thanks.

Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. 

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and it’s just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Piano Birthday Silver - die cuts

Music makes the world better. My birthday card features die cuts from Die'Versions, Tutti Designs, and Elizabeth Craft Designs with stamps from Stampendous, Craftin' Desert Divas, and Unity Stamps. "If music be the food of love. play on!"
