My last DT cards for a while

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 . .

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

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

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

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 !

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

It's Willow Sketchie challenge time again

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 !

 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 !

His number is up !

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

Two at a time

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

I'ts Willow Sketchie challenge time

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

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

Wow what a busy week !

I have had such a busy week so far , I don't know if I am coming or going !I have had loads of card orders as well as a run of birthdays coming up in my own family and I have had design team projects to do as well -
In fact i now have two design team cards each week to make as I am now a new Design team member at WILLOWSKETCHIE! :)  You will get to see my first design team project for them next Thursday
Here is my card for this week's challenge at I ♥ PROMARKERS - Our challenge is Christmas in July - It is sponsored by crafts-4-you.- where you will be able to find the sentiment tag that I have used on my card

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 .

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 .

I ♥ SNOWMEN

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. . . . . . .

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 love this one !

I absolutely love this picture , it just conjures up childhood memories of playing in the snow ,- not that i ever had a sled, but i'm sure it would have been great fun !. This one is nt an order or a challenge or anything special , it was just for fun .x

mo's digital pencil 1 st challenge

I wondered last month what had happened to the i love promarkers 3 rd challenge . I had saved the page in my favourites and i kept checking back to see when the new one had been posted ,but all i saw was the page showing last months winner , I remembered something about not being able to post on face book so assumed it was something to do with this . Yesterday i happened to see on my dashboard that the 4th challenge had been posted . I was mortified ! how had i missed the 3rd one ? Ha ! instead of saving the home page i had saved the post !! what a numpty !

So not much chance of winning that one - so i have made my card for the 4 th one early so that i dont forget. I have had trouble photographing it too . The embellishments were too thick for it to scan properly so there is a shadow cast over the pic .
I have also used the card in the very first challenge over at mo's digital pencil where you have to use a mo's image and the colour purple .

Christmas in july - polkadoodle challenge

Here's my Polkadoodle challenge card for this week - it was to do anything you like as long as you followed the sketch .I know the "C" word should nt be allowed yet -but I have fallen in love with these cute little owls from "fairy dust bag ". i found them through the promarkers challenge blog so youcan expect to see a lot of these little guys from me in my next few posts!
