Hi, At long last i have had time to make a card!! Where does all the time go??

The sketch i followed is from Mojo Monday. My image is from TGF and i coloured her in with Pormarkers. The papers are My Minds Eye. I had got free papers like these with a magazine a while back and used them so bought more 12x12's this week in the sales!  The sentiment was cut from my Cricut Wild Card Cartridge and fits with the challenges running from Papertake Weekly and Cute Card Thursday. I am also playing along with the Corrosive Challenge which is to "Bling It On"! I have used plenty of bling on this card so i am sure that this will count! The flowers i made myself from Scalloped edge srips and a quilling tool! The leaves are cut from my Cricut. I have added glossy accents with glamour dust to the sentiment and leaves just to add a bit of sparkle.

Here is the links to the challenge blogs i am playing along with today;

Red and White Christmas!

 Hi, We gad a massive amount of snow fall yesterday here. As most of you seen on the news the roads were gridlocked and it was total chaos! The schools were just back yesterday after being closed all last week due to the weather. By lunch time yesterday the roads were getting so bad we were worried about getting the kids home. We stay in a small village right in the middle of Edinburgh and Glasgow and my oldest travels to school by bus so I had to arrange for him to be picked up. My other two kids are at the village primary which also closed early yesterday. All schools now closed again today and waiting to hear about the rest of week. Its not fun anymore and its so deep its causing real problems. Our telephone lines were down yesterday, trees falling and i have seen a few hut and garage roofs collapsing! 

Anyway enough about the snow! Here my card for the day. I am going to just list and link the challenges i am entering at the bottom of the post this time as i am in a bit of a hurry.  I have had this Forever Friends stamp for years and never used it.  He is coloured with Promarkers and kept it really simple to fit with the monochrome challenges and a few that are looking for red and white.  The sketch i used is from the Crazy 4 challenge blog. I have used one of my red and white flowers that i found in the bottom of my stash last week and the sentiment was one i had left in my xmas stash from last year too.

Heres the list/links of challenges i am entering with this card;

One For The Guys!

Its been a week or so since my last card, well for on here anyway. I had a few orders for friends and family to get done. This happens to be one of them but i used the sketch for the Mojo Monday Challenge. The blue paper has been run through my cuttle bug with the swiss dots folder. The sentiment was cut from my Wild Card Cricut Cartridge and the "80" from the  Plantin Schoolbook. The charm is a tiny little trowel garden tool, you cant go wrong with something like that can you!! I added some silver card candy to finish it off. I am also entering the card into The Corrosive Challenge who are looking for "One for the Guys". I really find masculine cards hard to make so i tend to keep it very simple as you can see!!

Here are links to the two challenges i have entered;

Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog - Challenge #3 - Its Your Day..
The Corrosive Challenge  - Challenge #67 - Die Cuts

For this card i followed the sketch on Totally Gorjuss. The paper is from Bo Bunny and i used the cuttlebug to emboss the white background.The stamp is Midsummer Tilda coloured by pro markers. I used my Nestabilites to cut the scallop circle and my Cricut Wild Card Cartridge to cut the sentiment. Storybook and Plantin Schoolbook Carts were used for the flowers and branches. The pearls and ribbon finished it off.
