Pati's Kisses!

Hi, Just a quick post to get this card posted that i made the other day and forgot to post it!!!

It was made for the Belles and Whistles challenge which is "Shaping up for May".

The image i used is one of Elisabeth Bells Digi images. Dont you just love this one, reminds me of my daughter and her special teddy..too cute. She is coloured with my promarkers and inked round the edges with distress inks.

Hi This is just a quick post. Its 3am and i cant sleep so thought i would post the card i made earlier.

The image is a new Bildmalarna "Little Winged Friends "stamp which i got from Dies to Die For, its called "On Walk" It is absolutely adorable and just love them. I coloured it with Promarkers and have dotted glossy accents on the flowers and leaves.

The sketch i followed is from Friday Sketchers, its a fab sketch! My 2 papers are from a Docrafts pack called Honey and Hugs. The border is cut from my Cricut Story Book Cartridge and i have layered it with Glossy Accents and sprinkled it all with Glamour Dust. The photo doesnt to it justice, it looks great IRL.

The flowers are a mix of papermania ones and a handmade one. The leaves are from the Story Book Cartridge and again covered in Glossy Accents and Glamour Dust. The sentiment is one from a free pack that i got in a magazine! I coloured the hearts and gave it the same treatment of glossy accents and glamour dust!  The lace, charm, pin and gems are from my stash.

Heres the challenges i am entering with the card;

Spots and Stripes!

Hi, Today we woke up to the deepest snow i have seen for years! David went out to see if he would get his car out and it was up over his knees all the way along the road...he had no chance, totally snowed in! Its so beautiful to look at but the kids are out and in because the schools are all closed and there is wet clothes and boots everywhere! They are having great fun though! They are making a full size igloo later seemingly!

Anyway onto the card i made as i sat at my desk watching the snow get deeper and deeper! The sketch i followed is from the LOTV challenge blog. I love this image i have used, she looks so different every time i colour her with a different colour scheme! I have used Promarkers to colour her and the white i have used flocking, not that you can see much if it in the picture. The colour scheme came about from the Daring Cardmakers challenge, they are asking for Spots and Stripes. The DP is "Jolly Happy Xmas" from Dovecraft. I have also entered the Passion for Promarkers challenge. They have a challenge and a blog hop running for 2 weeks. The Theme is "Old and New". Well this card really fits the challenge, The flower i have on my card i have had since i started out card making a good few years back. So old it had lost the green leaves from the back of it! The new things is the DP's and the charm and chain. I have seen a few people use a few links of chain to dangle charms from lately but the first time i seen it was on Bev's blog, "All The Things I Love".  The Crafty Catz Challenge is "Christmas" and Stampin B's challenge is to make a holiday card and the Paper Cutz challenge is Anything Goes this week so i am entering these challenges too.

Seeing Double!

This is just a quick post to my card for a few challenges that are about this week. The first challenge i am playing along with is the Just Magnolia Challenge. The challenge over there is 2x2 (2 of everything!) As you can see i have used 2 flowers and leafs twice, 2 sets of 2 gems, 2 DP's, and 2 charms. The charms are recycled from older cards that i have not given to anyone! It was harder than i thought using 2 of everything! The papers are from Bo Bunny and are scraps pieces that i had left over from other cards i made. I also used scrap cardstock from my scrap box that sits at my feet as i craft away. The Passion for Promarkers challenge is Recycled so i hope that all my scraps and old charms count! The colour theme of pink is fitting with two other challenges, I love Promarkers and Lets Craft and create. The image is coloured with Promarkers and the image of Tilda is fitting with the challenge over at Crafty Catz. The sentiment was cut from my Cricut Wild Card Cart and i sparkled it up a bit with glossy accents and glitter. I have also entered the card into the challenge at Craftalicious as the challenge is "Anything Goes".

This is the list of links to the Challenge blogs that i have played along with today;

Another Round One!

Hi There,

Well that me back from my latest travels in the caravan. Had such a relaxing time, we didnt want to come home. In fact we had such a lovely time and the site so was nice we booked for the long weekend in September. 

Here is another card which i will enter into a few challenges. For the Totally Tilda Challenge the theme is "shaped cards" so i used the Scallop circle card which i cut on my Cricut and this time i cut my Tilda out and coloured with Promarkers. The paper i used is Bo Bunny. I decided to thread my ribbon and ruffled it for a wee change. I used Buttons and a bow to fit with Crafty Catz challenge. I used the word from the Aud Sentiments Challenge which is "relax" for the sentiment. I am also going to enter the card into the Creative Card Crew challenge as their theme is "Cute and Girly". I think this card fits the bill, nothing more girly than pink and bling! To add the bling i used my clear gems. The flower is cut with my Cuttlebug die and machine and the swirls from my Cricut Story book cartridge.

Hope the cards fits with all the challenges i have entered it into!
