Phew

2011-11-23T21:08:00.000Z

I have just about managed to catch up on some card orders,I can't show them all as some have n't been given out yet and I don't want to spoil any surprises
I still have a few tricky ones to do but I don't feel quite so pressured now so the creative juices are flowing a bit more freely ,Here are a few of this week's creations -

This one was a bit tricky , I had to watch a few episodes just to get which characters were which !I ended up drawing them and cutting them out freehand -two year olds can be very judgemental so I hope they are ok !

This is cut from my brand new favourite cricut cartridge -Paper Lace -the Names were cut using SCAL

I used SCAL for the bee ,and "Freshly picked" for the plant in pot for this one -I just love that little bee !

Oooh and I nearly forgot about this one ,for my friend's daughter who is an obsessed Harrry Potter fan , I forgot to take a picture of this one before it went and thankfully she tagged me in it on her facebook page !

I had n't made one of these for ages and had forgotten just how tough they are on the poor fingers to cut out -I did do one on the cricut with SCAL and the extra long mats but it was just too flimsy so i reverted to my own way -No pain no gain I suppose !

Lastly another new baby one -I love doing these ,Once again this is all cricut -(except for the punched lace ) I really love using this machine -it is so much fun .I hope you enjoyed looking at my creations for this week -now i'm off for a quick game of scrabble or six :)

My last DT cards for a while

2011-11-10T15:23:00.000Z

It is with great sadness that I have had to leave both of the DT's that I was on.I have been struggling with my commitments for a little while as life has taken a tough turn for me . It means I can't spend as much time crafting as I would like .I don't want to let my faithful customers down so those cards have to come before my design team ones.
I will still be blogging my projects but I wont have the pressure of having to work to a strict timetable -so if the MOJO goes AWOL it wont matter so much .
Here is my last card for I ♥ promarkers ,this one has a sketch that you will need to follow -

and my second one is for Willow sketchie Challenge , which as the name suggests also has a sketch to follow

My turn to host . .

2011-11-03T11:20:00.000Z

Here is my sketch which i designed for Willow sketchie challenge , It is quite a simple one and I'm not asking for anything extra that you have to use , I just wanted something that anyone can join in with .We want to see more of your fabulous creations as entries have been a bit low recently .
here is what I did with my sketch

All of the elements were from the WALTER AND WINNIE DOES CHRISTMAS CD,

that is, apart from the huge snowflake which i cut on my cricut

Glitter and Glitz

2011-11-02T08:57:00.000Z

This week's challenge at I♥ promarkers calls for glitter and glitz so it is perfect for your Christmas cards .
I was lucky enough to get the new range of Humphreys corner stamps so I have used one of those.
As I am not a fan of loose glitter -it is far to messy ! ,I used this glittery wrapping paper that Ibought a couple of years ago , the shop was selling it off cheap as they had lots of returns because it was too glittery for the sticky tape ! everybody's pressies were coming unwrapped !
I even dug the old peel offs out of the box at the back of the cupboard to hang my baubles from, they had nt seen the light of day for quite a while !

Willow Sketchie challenge time

2011-10-27T11:42:00.000+01:00

Morning All !

It's rather damp here today but not particularly cold but I bet it won't be long before I'm wishing I had a hat just like Walter's !

I think this has to be my favourite of all the fabulous designs on the new Walter and Winnie does Christmas cd from Willow designs -he must be I have used him an awful lot lately

here is the sketch we want you to follow

I'm better now

2011-10-26T10:05:00.000+01:00

Thankfully my tummy has returned to normal now although I was diasappointed to find that being poorly had nt helped my weight loss last week ,considering I had hardly eaten all week and then spent most of the week in the bathroom I only lost a pound :( I was really hoping for at least two pounds then I would have reached my first stone award - still there is always next week !

Here is my card for our Tag Challenge over at I ♥ promarkers which is sponsored by Digi doodle shop I used the all wrapped up image .I made the ribbon and bow from strips of paper coloured with Pms , I added the silver dots to it with foil and quickie glue

Hello , long time no postie !

2011-10-23T23:33:00.000+01:00

It seems like ages since I last posted , I have missed a couple of challenges that i design for -willow sketchie and i ♥ promarkers .Shortly after my mojo disappeared I managed to catch a tummy bug which left me really poorly all of last week , I have recovered now and have managed to catch up with some of my blogging and cardmaking duties .
I did manage to see some of my cards on tv last week , but mainly just fleeting glimpses of them ,I did manage to get a mention by Deano tho' so i 'm well happy !

I know it's late but here is my card for the I ♥ promarkers challenge I had made it before I got too poorly

MOJO gone AWOL

2011-10-14T21:41:00.001+01:00

I'm having one of those week's when nothing I make is right , It all seems to be rather lacking in the inspiration dept ,I have had several cards to make and I just sit there for ages looking into space ,hoping to spot my Mojo out there in the ether somewhere.
I had some stupid idea that moving my craft room round would help, but that was on Tuesday and I still cant see the worktop for stuff that I have no space for .
I have been without my pc for a couple of days too because the leads did nt reach the socket -grrrrr ,I ve been using the little laptop but that's no good for blogging when the pictures you need are in the other PC !

Anyway ,thankfully I had made this one for Willow Sketchie Challenge before I started on my mammoth removal mission .I have used "Winnie in earmuffs " from the fabby Walter and Winnie CD that is launching on create and craft tv on Monday !
I have made some samples so You may just get to see some of my cards on tv again - It is so exciting !!!

Autumnal colours

2011-10-12T20:40:00.001+01:00

I really love the beautiful colours that come with the arrival of autumn , so I really enjoyed making this card for our I ♥ promarkers challenge this week .The challenge is sponsored by Letraset so you could win some promarkers to add to your stash !

I chose this Mo Manning image to complement my falling leaves .The leaves are punched from white paper ,coloured with pms and then dusted with perfect pearls ,in rusty tones .

Willow sketchie time again

2011-10-07T17:00:00.000+01:00

here is this week's sketch

and here is what I have done with it
I chose to make this as a stepper card because as soon as I saw the sketch ,a stepper card sprang to mind.I tried to do a flat card ,but nothing would come !
The image is from the fabulous new CD from Willow Sketchie which is due to be launched on Create and Craft TV on October 17 th

Spooky Time !

2011-10-05T14:35:00.000+01:00

As Halloween is approaching we have decided to go for a Spooky theme for this weeks I ♥ promarkers challenge .
I don't usually send cards for Halloween so used this image to make a card for a Birthday instead .It is kind of spooky ! it is from Digishack

I cut the word Boo from chipboard and triple embossed to give the enamelled look , I have added foiling to the cobwebs on the candlestick but they dont show too well in the photograph . I came up with the sentiment myself after struggling for ages to find something suitable and failing .His eyes are also glazed for extra dimension

It's Willow Sketchie challenge time again

2011-09-29T22:08:00.000+01:00

We had a much better response to our willow sketchie challenge last week ,thanks to the fabulous prize that Sharon offered .Well this week there is another fab prize up for grabs - A pair of stamps featuring Walter and Winnie in their Christmas glad rags.

This weeks challenge has a little twist too, we want to see a tent card or an easel card-oh and you must follow the sketch !

A distressing Challenge !

2011-09-28T19:32:00.000+01:00

Hello everybody , just a quick post from me again as there don't seem to be enough hours in the day at the moment !
Our challenge this week at I♥ promarkers is to see some distressing on your project /card.

I have made this easel card using this gorgeous deer digi stamp from Digi doodle shop , I have distressed using just inks I still find it difficult to screw up or tear my papers !

Here is my card -I used Winnie in santa suit

His number is up !

2011-09-21T17:22:00.000+01:00

This week's challenge at i ♥ promarkers is to include a number on your project ,since I need to make a start on those dreaded Christmas ones I thought I would use a calendar and use a whole month of numbers .I had this idea of a poor turkey dreading the run up to Christmas but could nt find a stamp or digi image suitable,then I used Google and searched for a clipart image of a turkey and found this one -the expression on his face was just perfect for what I had in mind -whoever designed him,Thank you he is perfect

Late again

2011-09-16T19:25:00.000+01:00

Firstly I must apologise to my fellow team members at I ♥ promarkers and Willow sketchie Challenge, As I have been very late in posting my cards for their challenges .
My first card is for i ♥ promarkers whose theme this week is transport -I have used a mo manning image again and incorporated a few stickers from my stash - I was looking for something else and these jumped into my hands !
The second is for Willow sketchie and I have used All I want for Christmas

Look out for next week's Willow sketchie challenge as we have something very exciting for our prize- I guarantee it is something that you will all want to win !!!!!!

Two at a time

2011-09-08T10:02:00.001+01:00

This week's challenge cards are having to be posted at the same time - my internet is still iffy thanks to the rain and I could nt post at all yesterday until late last night so I figured I may as well wait and post them both together .

Firstly is my i ♥ promarkers DT card , our challenge this week asks for you to use a metal embellishment or charm ,.I used this really cute Humphrey stamp that was free in a magazine together with some papers which were free in another one .

My second card is for Willow sketchie's challenge ,I have used the keeping warm image which you can find here

willow sketchie - this is the one i posted by mistake !

2011-09-02T20:59:00.000+01:00

I'm late again with my posting - my internet has been a bit hit and miss again over the last few days and I have been at work all day today so this has been my first chance to get it online . Some of the more eagle eyed among my followers would have already seen this one as i put it up by mistake last week and did nt notice for several hours !

Anyway here is my DT card for Willow Sketchie , I did all the doodled backgrounds myself to match the image !

Happy Birthday Daniel ♥

2011-08-31T20:45:00.000+01:00

This one is for my rockstar son Daniel -Happy Birthday dude !
It is also for our Anything goes challenge at I ♥ promarkers this week .I chose this image because it reminded me of Daniel , He is in a band and plays guitar , he even looks remarkably like this character ,even down to the enlarged hole pierced in his ear ! He has the same dark eyebrows and holey jeans - in fact the only thing different is his hair ,Daniel has his short .
I used craft artist to cut out the image digitally and then overlay it onto a musical background that I created ,specially Then I added a digital shadow before colouring with my Pms - I was really pleased with the effect

I'ts Willow Sketchie challenge time

2011-08-25T21:57:00.002+01:00

Lol - I made a boob and posted the wrong card !
here is what you should have seen
Willow Sketchie have another sketch challenge for you this week, I have used "Dear Santa " and have followed this sketch designed by fellow DT member Pauline

Here is mine -

Paper Piercing

2011-08-24T16:00:00.000+01:00

This week's challenge at I ♥ promarkers is paper piercing, that's right there is an R in it ! it is definitely piercing and not piecing. So get those pokey tools out and get pricking . i have made quite a few for this challenge ,as I kept mucking it up ! several attempts later and I got one that I was sort of happy with -I have used "poinsetta" from our sponsor -/digi doodle shop

Crafty peeps wanted !

2011-08-18T11:55:00.000+01:00

An easel challenge

2011-08-17T13:43:00.000+01:00

This week 's challenge at I ♥ promarkers is to make an easel card , I really like making easel cards ,but I find them quite tricky to photograph !
I have used another fab image from Mo Manning -Elf Mim .
I mad the easel from a frame designed by Einnej, I cut two to make my easel and used the out of the frame technique with the image to make it look as if Mim was swinging through the frame

My first sketch challenge for Willow Sketchie

2011-08-11T16:13:00.000+01:00

Willow sketchie Challenge

2011-08-04T19:17:00.000+01:00

I am prepared this week , I did n't want to miss posting the challenge again :)

I have used "taking a snooze " which is available from willow designs brand new shop

So much for being ready . . .i've had no internet all day except on my phone so could nt post on time after all !

For all of those people who have asked for instructions for the stretch card . . . . .

WATCH THIS SPACE .......

My first stretchy card

2011-08-03T12:42:00.000+01:00

I saw some stretchy cards being demonstrated on C and C and thought how good the style looked even though the designs used did nt really appeal so i got my thinking cap on an worked out how they were made and this is what I came up with .

I chose this image specifically to tie it in with our I ♥ promarkers challenge this week which is -"things with wings "
I cut the words and the stars on my cricut with SCAL2 .

OOPS -I FORGOT TO POST

2011-07-31T23:22:00.000+01:00

I'' be getting myself sacked from the Willow Sketchie DT if I'm not careful -fancy forgetting to post the card I made , I 've only been there a fortnight and already I'm slacking !
Here is my card ,I used Precious .We have a sketch for you to follow too, which for some unknown reason I am having difficulty placing in this post - just pop along to http://www.willowsketchiechallenge.blogspot.com/ to see it

2011-07-27T21:45:00.000+01:00

we are being sponsored again by DIGI DOODLE SHOP so let's see what you can do
I have gone for a vintagey theme to this one , it was nt intentional however, I made a bit of a c**k up when i stuck the backing paper to my card blank and it ended up upside down so i had to do a bit of disguising

My first DT card for Willow sketchie Challenge

2011-07-21T14:47:00.000+01:00

Clean and simple

2011-07-06T20:42:00.000+01:00

Hello ,it's I ♥ promarkers challenge time again and this week was especially hard for me -Its "clean and simple ", now I'm not normally one to go overboard on my cards anyway but when you know you have to keep it clean and simple ,it somehow becomes a very difficult thing to do !
This challenge is sponsored by Joanna Sheen,so you could win some super crafty cash to spend in her online store .

I ♥ promarkers challenge

2011-06-29T08:20:00.000+01:00

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 .

willow sketchie Challenge

2011-06-27T15:14:00.000+01:00

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 !

2011-06-23T12:52:00.000+01:00

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

2011-06-19T23:05:00.002+01:00

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

2011-06-15T10:39:00.000+01:00

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

2011-06-09T14:54:00.000+01:00

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

2011-06-08T12:18:00.000+01:00

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

2011-06-01T20:01:00.000+01:00

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

INTERNET DOWN :(

2011-05-28T20:22:00.000+01:00

Sorry this post is late this week , I ve had internet troubles , first it was the phone line and then when i get that sorted ,the curse of the blogger hit me and it would nt let me onto the blog page to post or leave comments on your lovely creations.
This week's I ♥ promarkers this week is Pearls ,here is my DT piece

The stargazer lilies are from Digi Doodle shop as they are the sponsors for this weeks challenge

An Animal challenge

2011-05-18T10:40:00.000+01:00

I love the attitude on this little guy , I so when I knew that the challenge at i ♥ promarkers would call for animals I knew straight away which one to go for . The challenge is sponsored by Crafty Emma and she is offering a fab prize of crafty goodies .

I used an embossing folder for my background ,i thought it gave a kind of wire fencing look and i made the bones border from my cricut and design studio .The doggy with attitude is by Mo Manning

I ♥ promarkers pink and brown challenge

2011-05-11T15:57:00.000+01:00

This week's challenge at I ♥ promarkers uses one of my favourite colour combo's-Pink and brown,my favourites because they remind me of neopolitan ice cream

The challenge is sponsored by ROBYNS FETISH and the prize is some digital images

Mine is a very simple card this time ,I did a bit of freehand doodling to match in with the image,coloured and cut out the image and added a little tag from LOTV .The background paper is from Polkadoodles 'double sprinkle of Kraft cd .

Song Title challenge

2011-05-04T09:11:00.000+01:00

My shoulder is a little better this week and not half as painful as it was . It is still restricting my arm movement a bit but i did manage to get my card done for this week 's challenge at I ♥ promarkers
We want to see your cards that are inspired by a song title, and with so many possibilities to choose from it should be easy .I have chosen (I wanna be a) rockstar by Nickleback because that's the tune that pops into my head every time I see this image
The challenge is sponsored by Joanna Sheen so you might win some vouchers for crafty goodies .
speaking of which , this is exactly what i have just done -I came 1st in the craft creations April card challenge and have won £30 of stash :0)

A painful post

2011-04-27T11:09:00.000+01:00

Just a quick post from me a s I'm suffering with my neck/shoulder /arm pain again - I can barely lift my arm and it hurts to type so i'm keeping it brief
Here is my DT card for I ♥ promarkers for this week's challenge .It is sponsored again by Digi Doodle shop

We want to see what you can do without using any design papers -here's mine, my sentiment looks wonky ,but it's not honest ! It is the shadow ,I took the picture in the early evening and the light was nt great !

Anything goes

2011-04-20T09:11:00.001+01:00

I adored this stamp as soon as I saw it and could n't wait to use it .The perfect opportunity to show it off came with this week's challenge at I ♥ promarkers because ANYTHING GOES - last time we did this theme we had over 240 entries so I need to knuckle down and keep up with them this time !

I made my card shape from an A3 piece of card and cut the scallop card shape from Wildcard cart on my cricut .I cut it at 8" cos I wanted it to be huge !I have finished it off with a sentiment circle from our sponsor this week -SENTIMENTS FOR YOU ,these are brilliant because you can size them to fit inside your nestabilities perfectly

Boss's birthday

2011-04-13T16:14:00.000+01:00

It is my manager's birthday this week and as always I have the job of making the card from all of us lot at work , I decided to make a big one since there are a few of us to sign it
As she loves her horses I decided to include it in the theme,but that was as far as got with it .I searched the internet for free downloadable images, i needed one that would convert easily to a cut file in SCAL .
The finished horse then sat on my desk for a few days waiting for some inspiration to help complete the look .I was watching create and craft and saw Nikky Hall demonstrating aquamarkers with her latest CD and there i was totally hooked , out came the credit card and i ordered the aquamarkers.I already have some ,but these were new exclusive colours so I just had to have them !
Not satisfied with that ,I then went to polkadoodles and ordered the CD .My cd arrived this morning so I went to polkadoodles challenge blog and decided to use their sketch to finish my card and enter it into their challenge

A sketch challenge

2011-04-13T12:14:00.000+01:00

This week at I ♥ promarkers we are challenging you to use our sketch in your project , we are being sponsored by Kenny K and you could win 5 digi images from their online store.I have used one of Kenny k's images for my card.I also used my cricut machine and Rock princess cartridge to cut my girls rock sentiment and stars.I actually ran out of the pink mirror card that i used for the matt layers ,so when it came to the shadow layers for my sentiment and for the small stars i just cut them from silver mirror card and coloured them with my magenta promarker for a perfect match.

Patsy's school projects

2011-04-08T21:06:00.000+01:00

I just wanted to show you Patsy's easter projects. They were for the end of term competition at school.She put an awful lot of work into both works of art and was very proud of them both and she went off to school so hopeful of winning a prize .
Unfortunately some horrible child in her class thought it would be a good idea to shove Patsy over making her drop it and smash it .Luckily i took pictures last night , she did nt win any prizes but she did have fun making them

Happy Easter challenge

This week' s I♥ promarkers challenge is an Easter theme, it is once again sponsored by Joanna Sheen .
I don't send Easter cards as a rule so I used this Mo Manning image with a sentiment that I found and thought that I could use it to send to a friend of mine that I need to have a good old chat with !
I made the card shape with xxl dies from Go Kreate in my favourite gadget -my Grand Caliber

Emboss it !

2011-03-30T16:54:00.000+01:00

This week's challenge at I ♥ Promarkers is to use some kind of embossing on your project.The challenge is sponsored by Secret crafter .
Now thankfully for me I had got ahead of myself and made this one a couple of weeks ago as I have been ill all week and not been able to lift my head from my pillow let alone make a card !
I made this with a cuttlebug embossing folder -swiss dots and a papermania stamp .The flowers are from a punch and the background shapes are nesties .This was my first attempt at a double easel and i was quite pleased with the result- it did n't fit in any envelope that I had so I made it a nice little box .

I 've gone Dotty

2011-03-23T22:42:00.001Z

I meant to post this first thing this morning but of course things never go to plan when I have work to go to . I got up in plenty of time , made the lunches and cups of tea ,breakfast for everybody and then got Patsy off to school . Then i realised I was going to be late for work if I did n't get my bum into gear - so this gets left 'til after work and then Blogger decides to be a bugger and wont let me post - grrrr

anyway here is my card for our dotty challenge for I ♥ Promarkers -we are sponsored this week by digi doodle shop

Men's cards

2011-03-16T09:06:00.000Z

we all know how difficult it can be to make cards for men, so that is our challenge for you this week at I ♥ promarkers
This weeks challenge is sponsored by Stampeezee and you could win £10 to spend in their online store
A friend asked me for something specific for her Dad, she wanted him in his shed with his canaries and flowers in pots .I made the card as 3 dimensional as possible adding quilled plant pots and flowers.I drew the man in the chair and the extras in his shed and of course used promarkers for colouring it all in .
I used Digital Craft Artist for the wood effect and for the poster on the inside of the door .

A baby Challenge

2011-03-09T19:18:00.000Z

For this week's I ♥ promarkers challenge we are asking for " Baby" projects .Mine is a Christening card which can be for a boy or girl as I went for a neutral colour scheme .Our sponsor for this challenge is Di's Digis and you could win 5 digi images .
I made the paper rose ,and the leaves I cut on the cricut using Scal and a file from My scrap chick

A fold out letter card ,a get well, and a 60th birthday

2011-03-02T21:37:00.001Z

I have been really busy this weekend so I want to show you some of the items that have occupied my time .

I made a cut file for this one and cut it all on the cricut ,I am planning on selling these ones for Mother's day , in any colours ,with matching box and gift tag .I am also entering this one into the BUNNYZOE challenge for this month ,they want to see spring flowers.

This next one is one of my "LITTLE PEOPLE " cards , This is for Matt, a guy at work who has a bad shoulder -luckily for him he has his lovely new bride to look after him and she is a nurse .

The last one for today is a 60 TH Birthday,this was also a cricut /Scal creation

I also had a nice surprise - a blog award from the lovely Eileen (EIYIYI)

Thank you Eileen MWAH !!

I have to pass it on to a few talented people that i know who have less than 300 followers on their blogs .Be sure to take a look at their blogs to see the wealth of talent out there !

I am passing it to. . . . . .

Challenge time again

2011-03-02T10:30:00.000Z

I can't believe how fast this week is going ,I almost forgot to post this week's challenge card for I ♥ promarkers .
This week we want you to use Purple and Green . My image is from a no stamp required cd by MCS .I made all the flowers using punches and dies , The tag is punched too and the elements on it were found lurking in my "bits " box

A stitching challenge

2011-02-23T19:18:00.000Z

This weeks challenge at I ♥ promarkers is for you to use some kind of stitching on your project ,it does nt have to be real ,faux is fine . Dont forget you must still use promarkers !
I have used this Rooster image from Digi doodle shop as they are our sponsors for this week's challenge

A paper piecing challenge

2011-02-16T09:16:00.001Z

Firstly i want to say a very big thank you to all of you who joined in with our birthday blog hop last week , I had loads of comments on my card and even got a few new followers to my blog too,so hello to all of you ,I hope you will all be following me on my crafty travels through blogland .
Of course i also had to pick a lucky winner for my blog candy and my daughter Patsy kindly picked a number for me. She chose . . . . . . . . MARIA INKYMITS so if you would like to email me your address i will get it in the post for you x

now our next challenge is sponsored by die cut dreams and there are some lovely die cuts on offer as your prize - we want to see your paper pieced creations and you must use promarkers too !

I made 2 cards for this challenge , the first one was for my hubby's birthday and i had the hump with him when i made it so i was going to add the greeting "Happy birthday A*** HOLE " I decided against it in the end !

my second one is in much better taste - I stamped the background papers and the card , using some stamps that had never been out of the packaging in the 3 years that i bought them! (they were part of a set )-honest !

A couple i made using Scal2

2011-02-06T16:08:00.000Z

I have nt made many cards lately with my cricut and I had forgotten how much fun they can be . I was asked to make a card with a Springer Spaniel on and as i dont have one on any of my many carts I decided to use the trace function on my SCAL programme .I drew a picture of the spaniel from a photo of my friend's dog, scanned it into my computer and then opened up the scal programme . I clicked the trace image button and added my image file and voila ! here is "Bramble" the Springer spaniel

Then I made this cute Kitty by using a clipart image ,that I altered slightly to look more like "Crumble" the ginger Persian

Anything Goes

2011-02-02T19:32:00.002Z

This week's challenge at I ♥Promarkers this week is Anything goes , It is sponsored again by Joanna Sheen and you could win £10 to spend in her online store.

I have used a new image from Lilly of the valley on my favourite card style - with an embossing folder and a computer generated image-of course it was coloured with my promarkers .

I've had a headache since Sunday with facial numbness and a dead arm so i'm off to bed again - nite folks x x

Lavender and Lace

2011-01-26T17:53:00.000Z

Now this card has been a right pain in the backside since the moment i started making it - It has been rearranged on so many different backgrounds that i was nearly pulling my hair out by the time it was finished . It is for our Lavender and lace themed challenge at I ♥ Promarkers .
I have used the 1920'S LADIES from our sponsor this week Digi doodle shop

sweet and simple

2011-01-19T09:49:00.000Z

I adore this image and as i think it says it all I thought it would be perfect for our KISS ( Keep It Sweet and Simple) challenge over at I ♥ promarkers.We have a brand new sponsor this week Simply sentiments and you could win $10 to spend in their online store on some fabulous digital designs.

I had prior notice of our challenge so made this before I knew who our sponsor would be so I must apologise for not using one of our sponsors products .I thought i would have had time to make a new card for this challenge but have been so far behind thanks to my craft room move that i was nt able to manage it

A quick post from me

2011-01-13T14:15:00.000Z

Where is this year going? please can somebody slow it down a bit .
I meant to organise this blog post before i disconnected the pc but i forgot ,I have been busy moving my craft room back into the bigger bedroom as my daughter decided that she did nt like it in there after all and asked if i would swap so she could have the smaller room back - I had to do it quick before she changed her mind !

Three days of hard work and i now have all the worktops up and the shelves in and i actually have space to work I cant believe she wanted to swap :0)- gotta love that girl !

Here is my card for this weeks challenge at I ♥ promarkers - There is a fabulous prize from our sponsors this week-Crafty Individualsand we want to see what you can do using your punches-

I dont have many punches (not as many as i would like anyway ) as i have die cutting machines but i do have a few flower ones so i used those -I made the card for a colleague at work who has decide to leave after 18 yrs - very brave woman !
The image is a Mo Manning one

Happy New Year and a new challenge too

2011-01-04T17:01:00.002Z

Happy New year to you all .

This is the first card i have made since Christmas and it made a nice change to do something on a different theme .I have made this as my DT card for I ♥ promarkers where we are asking you to use something recycled on your card. I have recycled the inner foil seal of my coffeemate tin to make the heart charms, they were silver but i coloured them with my PMs to give them a gold finish - i used "spice "
I also made the gerbera from a single sheet of white copy paper and coloured with "amber and spice "promarkers. The card is smaller than my usual as i had originally covered an A5 card with the paper and then discarded it into my craft box as i had buggered it up on the edge when i trimmed it .So in a way the card was also recycled

The challenge is sponsored this week by Joanna Sheen and you could win £10 to spend in here online shop which is i believe the best place to buy your promarkers from :) The prices are fantastic , the service is second to none and the P&P IS FREE -

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT !

2010-12-22T19:27:00.000Z

I don't know about you , but i have well and truly had enough of Christmas card making for this year so I have chosen a non Christmas image for our challenge at I♥Promarkers .We are running the challenge for 2 weeks to cover the Christmas break and the theme is "anything goes ".

My new year's resolution is to make at least one christmas card per week from the 2 nd week in January onwards so that by the time Christmas comes around again I will be more than prepared for it !
I had a lot of wedding stuff to do this year and it held me back on my cards but next year has no such excuse ,I wonder if i will keep my resolution. . . . . It has to be easier than resolving to lose weight !

I would also like to wish all of my blog followers a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous and healthy New Year

HO HO HO

2010-12-15T19:42:00.001Z

OH OH NO ! This is how the title should really read !
I cant believe how fast Christmas is approaching - I still have so many cards to make as well as a couple of wedding cards and a scrapbook as a gift - of course i will get it all done -I'm ever the optimist !

This card is for our Santa challenge over at I ♥ promarkers .The challenge is sponsored by Simon loves stamps and the prize this week is a $15 voucher to spend in the online store .

I download the Santa image last Christmas and I cant remember where from so if anyone can help ,I would be grateful as I think he is a gorgeous Santa and there is an artist out there who deserves the credit for him .
The letters are cut on the cricut with the SCAL programme and of course he is coloured with promarkers .

Little drummer boy

2010-12-08T21:15:00.000Z

I ♥ promarkers this week has a Christmas song challenge , one of my favourites is The Little Drummer boy so when i saw this image by Mo Manning ,i knew immediately which song i would be doing .
I cut the little drum and sticks and the music note from Ellison dies and i printed the sentiment onto plain card and used an inkpad round the edges

December already . .

2010-12-01T17:00:00.000Z

So that means Christmas tree time ! Our tree will be coming inside out of the darkest corner of the shed this weekend and will get in the way in our front room for about a month!

Our Challenge at I ♥ promarkers this week also calls for christmas trees - we want to see them on your cards

- There is a £10 prize up for grabs from our sponsor this week -Joanna Sheen

I used an image from Digi doodle shop and i made a bracket shaped easel card, I embossed the top panel with a cuttlebug folder and then rubbed over it with distress ink to bring out the embossing

A little bit of sparkle.... -well quite a bit really

2010-11-24T17:28:00.000Z

I don't usually go for sparkly stuff on my cards ,maybe just a smidge of clear glitter glue is my limit, but this week's challenge at http://ilovepromarkers.blogspot.com/ requires a bit of sparkle so I had to be brave and go for the blingy stuff !
The cute Elf image is from digidoodleshop.com .
My sparkle was some posh wrapping paper that i bought last year - it was going cheap as many people had taken it back asking for a refund as nothing would stick to it - so all the presents were coming unstuck !
It really is super glittery and i had to gut the mats and stick from behind as my layers would nt stick to it either !
I cut the words using SCAL on my cricut and had to use glossy accents to stick the mirri card to the glitter paper

I ♥ SNOWMEN

2010-11-17T10:16:00.000Z

I adore snowmen and many of my cards this year will feature them , now the hardest part of this week's challenge at I♥ promarkers was deciding which one of the many cards i had made this week, was to be used as my DT cards for our challenge.
We want to see your snowmen creations (not real ones as the promarkers won't work on them )
I used this cute little guy from LOTV , the bracket shaped card was covered in freebie papers that i had put in my stash box- of course i don't know where they came from !
The square panel one is a particular favourite of mine so if anyone out there recognises it can you let me know !

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. . . . . . .

2010-11-10T08:56:00.000Z

Morning all. .. it is blooming freezing here today so it's perfect for telling you about our latest challenge at http://ilovepromarkers.blogspot.com/, this week we want to see your "Icy Colours "

I have used a Lili of the valley stamp coloured with icy grey promarkers , the giant snowflake is another from my cricut and the tiny snowflakes are the "waste " from the Martha Stewart border punch around the edge of the mat.I added "Icicle" stickles glue inside each of the snowflakes for added sparkle

I♥PROMARKERS challenge39-Snowflakes

2010-11-03T08:56:00.000Z

I used my cricut for this one ,and as the snowflake is so pretty and detailed I did nt want to cover it right up with an image so I made sure this little guy was positioned just enough to one side to show off the snowflake .This is a bit of a quick post as I have to go to work in a few mins and then I'm off out tonight , so chances are it would n't get done at all otherwise

Happy Halloween

2010-10-27T09:37:00.000+01:00

I just loved these cute little pumpkins,they are from Digi doodle shop who are our sponsors for this weeks challenge at I ♥ promarkers.Our challenge this week involves a sketch and a theme - the theme being "spooky goings on"
The background papers are from the halloween collection by Polkadoodles

Autumn Challenge for I ♥ promarkers

2010-10-20T08:55:00.001+01:00

I seem to be fighting bugs off from all over the place - it seems ages since i have felt anything like normal .I have been drained of all my energy and now i've got a rotten cold. All I want to do is sleep but life must go on I have cards to make ! . . .
Here's the one for our Autumn themed challenge at I ♥ promarkers which this week is sponsored by Simon Says stamp and you could win $15 to spend at their online store .
I have used "punkin" by Mo Manning and added die cut pumpkin and vines and leaves which i cut on my bug and then coloured with promarkers to match the image.I was struggling to find a background paper to suit my card ,when the postman came to my rescue when he delivered me my copy of creative cardmaking magazine- it has some gorgeous free papers in it,I thought that the colours and the swirls complimented the image perfectly .I outlined the edge with an orange promarker for a faux mat look

CUPCAKE -CHALLENGE

2010-10-13T21:16:00.000+01:00

This weeks challenge at I ♥ Promarkers is to follow a theme and this one is for Cupcakes.
I have been unwell this week ,really feeling Blurgh and in a lot of pain with my arm - it goes dead and heavy and really hurts but for no reason , it means i cant craft much at the moment and i have to limit my time on the pc so as not to aggravate it thank fully I made this before i was told to give the crafts a miss.I have painkillers but to be honest they are nt making much difference.I hope it does nt last too long- i m getting withdrawals

2010-09-22T23:10:00.000+01:00

Lol , I'm on a roll ,I made this one today too and wanted to share - I probably won't post again til next Wednesday now !
This is done in ivory as it's for a couple's second marriage .I used my cricut -sweethearts I think ,cuttlebug divine swirls embossing folder and sizzix and cuttlebug dies for the foliage

A new baby

2010-09-22T21:08:00.000+01:00

I♥PROMARKERS challenge - MYTH AND MAGIC

2010-09-02T12:06:00.000+01:00

Firstly an apology from me ,as I have been absent from blogging , crafting and commenting on your cards for the last week. My brother in law has been seriously ill in hospital and i have nt been able to craft as much as i would have liked to , when i had the time my mind was elsewhere . He is making slow improvements so i may be back in full swing really soon .

I♥PROMARKERS challenge 28

2010-08-18T09:20:00.000+01:00

Well this weeks challenge at I ♥ Promarkers has been set by me .I chose a Seaside theme as I should have been at the seaside on the Isle of Wight this week but due to some personal issues we had to cancel it . :(
I was nt really thinking about what image i would use when I set the challenge ,so it turned out to be quite a challenge for me too !
After much searching I found this gorgeous image by Mo Manning .I have had it a while and probably only used it once .I used a digital scrapbooking kit to design the background and I cut out a couple of layers of the embellishments to decoupage them ,adding a bit of glossy accents to give them depth and shine .

About time too Del !

2010-08-02T21:48:00.000+01:00

My beautiful grandson Del was finally born this morning after a marathon 39 hour labour , He decided to take the long scenic route , got a bit lost and then came out facing the wrong way round , he even managed to tie his umbilical cord in a knot !
He caused his poor mummy a lot of problems throughout the pregnancy, with sickness everyday , he was a small bump and there were concerns that he was not growing properly - well he came out as a very hefty 7 lbs 13 1/2 oz so definitely not small !
He has got a lot of bruising to his beautiful face and his head is a gorgeous shade of purple .
I made his card as a keepsake so have put a photo of him on it .
My lucky blog followers get to see him first as his parents don't want any photo's put on facebook just yet

A couple of stepper cards

2010-07-30T14:41:00.000+01:00

Here s two i've been working on this week , one using my favourite Tilda and the other using a download i'd had for ages and never used . Both are coloured with promarkers and the princess castle is coloured with the new Aquamarkers from letraset .
The lettering on both is cut using Scal on my cricut

Happy Birthday Hannah !

2010-07-28T19:54:00.000+01:00

Today is my daughter's birthday and we celebrated it by spending it sitting in the ante natal dept of the local hospital .Her first baby is due today and it has been a rather difficult pregnancy for her , her visits to the midwife have been aplenty as the baby is not growing as well as he should be . After another monitoring and measuring session , they sent her home . Much to her relief - she has said all along that she did nt want to have him on her birthday as thats her day !

Here is the card i made for her- so that it will encourage her to get her figure back - not that it will take long thanks to the small bump !

I made the template myself , the lace is a Martha steward punch and the Tattoo is a rub on

This second card is for the i♥ promarkers challenge , this week is a Christmas theme . The challenge this week is sponsored by Digi doodles and i have used the Ragga mutts Play ball image , I loved the little dog as he reminds me of my dog Hovis

I♥PROMARKERS challenge 24 - Buttons

2010-07-21T11:11:00.000+01:00

Morning all , I know two posts in less than 24 hours - what am I like ?
This is for the I ♥ PROMARKERS challenge . This week we want to see some buttons on your project ,so get raiding your stash !
I had planned this card with the intention of using some gorgeous antique style, heart shaped pewter buttons but of course i can't remember where i have put them !
Luckily i had enough mirri board left after cutting the swirls to cut some buttons using my sizzlits die .I wish i knew where those buttons were though - they match the background paper a treat .

new cards

2010-07-20T21:23:00.001+01:00

Here are just a few of my creations from the last couple of weeks . I'm not great at remembering to post them on here so it's been a bit neglected lately

Blogger probs :(

2010-07-14T11:12:00.001+01:00

For some unknown reason i have had some problems leaving comments on blogs , i have even had trouble posting anything on my own one .I can type the message in the box and then it tells me there was an error and does nt post it - grrrrr
I have been looking at all of your entries for the i ♥ promarkers challenge and they are all fantastic.This week we have a theme and a sketch for you to follow ,we want to see your creations with dogs on

Distressed !

2010-07-06T23:06:00.004+01:00

That is how I felt when I saw what our challenge was going to be this week at I ♥ promarkers .I don't usually do distressing on my cards I usually go for the neater style . My work space is messy enough without me adding to it .I ended up with ink splodges,torn up paper pieces and the dust from the roughed up bits every where !

The challenge is sponsored by Joanna sheen so you could win £10 to spend at her online store .I chose this gorgeous Mo Manning bunny 'cos he knows exactly how I was feeling - the poor guy looks like he is going to burst into tears any second .
The heart charm is made by stamping the image onto card , cutting away the inside filigree parts and then triple embossing with gold powder . I made it ages ago and did nt have a use for it until now .

WOULD YOU LIKE TO WIN A PACK OF 5 PROMARKERS ?

2010-06-30T11:35:00.000+01:00

Of course you would ! lol .... well all you have to do to be in with a chance of winning them is to join in with this week's challenge at I love promarkers. We want to see stripes on your projects . don't forget it must be a new card made for this challenge but we dont mind if you enter it in other challenges .

Here is mine -

Sam's Christening card

2010-06-25T19:26:00.000+01:00

This is for my darling little grandson , it is his Christening day on Sunday , I can't believe that he is six months old next week the time has really flown by .
I will post christening pictures next week .

My new craft room

2010-06-23T21:25:00.001+01:00

Well here it is - at last
My very own purpose built craft room . I started off years ago on the dining table , then progressed to a corner of the bedroom .We decided that i should have a separate room for crafty stuff so we had a conservatory built , not a huge one just perfect for me .
Then in January my daughter left home so i moved into her bedroom and made the conservatory into the dining room.Great i thought , nice big room to work in - however my 8 yr old daughter had other ideas she wanted the big room .I said there was no way my two desks would fit in there - its a tiny box room .I said i would only have it if it was all fitted out with worktops and shelving
Wish granted ! - i did nt know that I would be the one who would be fitting them ! - silly me should have realised i do everything else around here !
anyway it took me best part of a week to do and here it is . .. . .. . . . . .

I♥PROMARKERS challenge #20 - a sketch

2010-06-23T20:10:00.000+01:00

This is the sketch for this weeks challenge at I♥PROMARKERS this week it is sponsored again by Digi Doodles

For some strange reason the colour of the roses on the cake have nt come out the same as they look in real life , infact i dont know what has happened to the colours altogether in this picture . The flowers and the background should look like a cerise pink but they look more orangey - so im not very happy with this one at all . i could nt get another photo as it had to get sent off to reach the recipients in time for the wedding which was last weekend .
