I ♥ promarkers challenge

Thankfully the weather  has changed a bit and it is not quite so stifling today , we had a massive thunder storm yesterday and the air has cleared ,today is sunny and bright with a lovely cool breeze -so much better for me !
My card for this week's challenge at I ♥ promarkers also demonstrates that I like it cool  -A nice wintery card , A bit of a strange one to do when the theme for our challenge is to use FLOWERS ;0)

Our sponsor is Di'sDigis, I picked my image for this one before I realised what the challenge theme was .

It is absolutely scorching here today , and being  a bit of a wuss I can't take the heat ! needless to say I have found something to do - I made some cards !

Both of these were for the sketch challenge over at http://www.willowsketchiechallenge.blogspot.com/- I did the elephant one first as It was a new stamp and just had to try it out and then i did the second one 'cos it was a new digi and I just had to try it out LOL

Promarkers -Anything goes !

Our challenge this week  at http://ilovepromarkers.blogspot.com/is the ever popular  Anything goes.We are sponsored again by  digi doodle shop and I chose this Vintage car  image  to make my Dad's Father's Day card, I know that was last week but I got confused with the dates !

An entry for a few challenges

 This week i decided to do something I have nt done for ages  and thats make a card just for the fun of it , It started when I saw the challenge for http://www.willowsketchiechallenge.blogspot.com/  which was a sketch challenge then i thought i'd browse blogland and see if i could make it  to fit a couple of other challenges  and here are just a couple that i liked the look of -

Black and white plus one challenge

This week at i ♥ promarkers we are asking to see your black and white plus one colour creations.The challenge is sponsored by sassy designs by susies die cut dreams.

I figured that it was about time i made a start on my christmas cards so here is the first for this year !
I used an LOTV stamp , the snow globe is cut with a circle die and i chopped the bottom off , I added distress ink whilst the card was still in the die to give the globe a more rounded feel , the base of it is just a strip of card with the corners rounded off .
I used a die and some rather hideous holographic paper to add the swirls  to my snowflake ,proving that even the most awful bits of scrap can look quite effective - ( if you keep it minimal )  ;0)

Sam and Del - my little darlings

SAM  aged 17 months

      DEL aged 10 months 




I just wanted to share these two gorgeous boys with you -are'nt they just adorable ? I have these pictures as wallpaper on my pc's so that I can look at them anytime I need to smile 

A sketch to challenge you

 Hello everybody ,This week over on I ♥ ProMarkers our challenge is for you to follow a sketch.  We're being sponsored by The Secret Crafter for this one and they are offering a  prize of 3 digi images of your choice.

Here is my DT card-I used this cute Mo Manning image and teamed it with some papers that were a gift in a craft mag a while back.I decided that I would use my cricut to cut the frame as I don't use it half as much as I should do -I still buy too many dies unnecessarily as there are many different ones on my cartridges that would do .I think I just like collecting crafty goodies ;0

sparkly /bling

well I'm glad today is over , that was one rotten day's work ! I should have scheduled this post last night but totally forgot!
This is my DT card for i ♥ promarkers challenge this week- we want to see a bit of sparkle or bling .

I used  an LOTV image as i love using them ,I added glitter, mirri paper and a crystal flower bouquet  that i made specially .I cut the card shape on my cricut
