WHOOP WHOOP -I WON A PRIZE !

I entered this Valentine card into a  vintage card challenge over at craft creations ,As a previous winner there I had to enter into the winners category ,I was thrilled to see that I had won again !

Now I have £25 to spend in their store - I always use craft creations card stock as it is excellent quality and very reasonably priced-now if only I had waited another week before ordering nearly £40  worth of stuff  . . .

I made the easel card shape with SCAL on my cricut . the roses are a die The pearlescent paper was just perfect for making these they hold the shape so well , the key and locket were also dies and the words cut with SCAL too

A distressing Challenge !

 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 !

An easel challenge

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

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT !

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

 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 .

December already . .

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

polkadoodles challenge 16

This gorgeous fairy- Gracie , and some of her friends have landed at polkadoodles and i could nt wait to use them.
Our challenge for you this week is to make your project in monochrome, i have gone for orange as i love this background paper which is from sugar birdies cd, it matches perfectly with one of the stamps in the set.Gracie's wings are a separate stamp in the form of a beautiful butterfly which I stamped onto heavyweight acetate and folded to raise Gracie off the frame .
Pop over to Polkadoodles and visit Gracie and her friends

I♥PROMARKERS challenge 11

This week at I♥PROMARKERS we (I'm still GDT) want you to use black and white with just one other colour . I have chosen to use this gorgeous fairy stamp - yes a real stamp and not a digi !  its new at polkadoodles , the fairy  comes in two parts so you can use her without the wings if you want to and then you also have a gorgeous butterfly to use elsewhere .
