Thank You!

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;

Traditional Tilda!

This is my latest attempt at playing along with some challenges! The Challenge over at Crafty Emmas Store Challenge is to create a tag, the tag shape is cut from my Cricut Plantin Schoolbook. The papers are from a Papermania pack that i bought recently and the white mat was embossed through my Cuttlebug with the snowflakes folder. The colour scheme fits with the Totally Tilda challenge which is traditional Xmas green and red. I coloured Tilda in using my Promarkers and used glossy accents and glitter to sparkle her up a bit.  Over at Papertake Weekly the challenge is 3 of a kind so i have used 3 gems on each layer to finish the tag off. My sentiment was cut from my Cricut Wild Card Cartridge. I have also played along with A Spoonful Of Sugar challenge which is Winter Wonderland.

Here is a list of the challenge blogs that i have entered!

Papertake Weekly's 3rd Birthday!

This card is my entry to the Papertake Weekly 3rd birthday challenge. The challenge was to pick a favourite challenge from the past 3 years! I had great fun searching through the archives, there is so much talent out there and i got lots of inspiration along the way.

The Challenge i chose is ;

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

I chose this because i really must make a start on my Christmas cards and also to try out my new Cricut Xmas Solutions Cartridge. I cut the snowflake from this cart and covered in glossy accents and stardust. The image of simon and lola is a fav of mine and i have coloured it with promarkers. The embossed mats are from the snowflake cuttlebug folder. The  ribbon, gems and sentiment were from my stash.

I have completed the blog hop already and left comments on the DT blogs. They are all so talented and there are amazing prises up for grabs along the way!

Transport the Baby!!

Hi, Hope your having a lovely weekend. The weather here is not too bad, suns out bit the wind is quite cold. 

Here a card i made last night for a few differerent challenges. The image is one of my fav from LOTV , she is just so cute! I am hoping that a pram passes as a form of transport for the I love Promarkers challenge and also the Crafty Creations challenge too. Its all doodlebug papers on this card and the border is one cut from my cricut Storybook Cartridge. I use this cart so much, would be lost without it to be honest! The flowers are hand made as usual and the leaf is again from my storybook cartridge. The colour scheme was to fit with the challenge at Flutterby Wednesday where they are looking for pink along side the usual butterfly, fairy or angel.     I have used a few gems to give to some bling!

I loved the layout of this card, this was from the Papertake Weekly Challenge.

I am a big ribbon fan so use it on most cards but i refrained this time for a change, i think the border works great instead. I added my old favourite Glossy Accents to little areas on the image and to the border, flowers and butterfly but it doesnt show up in the photo which is a shame cos she has got little glossy boots and bow!

Teddy Bears Picnic!!

This is my second post of the night as i have just finished this card. The sketch i used is from the Flutter By Wednesday challenge. You must also use either a butterfly, fairy or angel on the birthday card for it to count so i used a butterfly stamp i had in my stash. The challenge at Passion for Promarkers is "Teddy Bears Picnic" so i used this LOTV stamp and coloured it with promarkers. The papers are both from the Lush Collection from My Minds Eye. I just had to have them when i seen them! The ribbon is one i bought when i was on holiday from a lovely little farm shop that sold organic and home grown/made produce. The ribbon was expensive but worth it. The camera doesnt show it well.  I used used 3 pink brads which were the perfect colour for my papers and fits with the Party time Tuesday challenge which is a Birthday card with brads. I am going to also enter into the Paper Take Weekly Challenge. Their challenge this time is "Just The One" so i used one colour theme, Vintage Pink. I could also use just the one metal wire heart charm! The sentiment was just one i had in my stash from a pack of clear stamps.

There are a few other challenges i am entering into also so heres links to them all;

Mojo is back!!

Hi, Well been busy today..no, not housework .. Just crafting! I decided to enter a few challenges with one card again. As much as Chocolate brown is just not my favourite colour,  it worked out better than i thought it would!! The Chocolate colour theme and Tilda stamp was for the Totally Tilda challenge. The sketch i followed is from Papertake Weekly challenge, like this sketch! I am also going to enter my card into the Creative Inspirations challenge and The stamp Man Challenge as they have let loose and the theme is "Anything Goes" for both! The spotty paper is from "The big one" by Clare Curd which i have had in my stash since it was released and still not even nearly finished it all! I embossed the white layer with my Cuttlebug floral folder. The flowers were cut from my Cricut using the Plantin Schoolbook cart and the leaves are from the Story book cart. I used some gems and ribbon from my stash to finish it off. 

Here is the challenges i have entered my card into!
