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

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 !

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

It's another" Anything goes Challenge " at I ♥ promarkers this week

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

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

Ta Da !

I love this Mo Manning  image, and as I had a run of man cards to make I thought I would use him .
I have used it for our  I ♥ Promarkers challenge where we have a recipe for you to follow.
2 background papers , 2 brads ,buttons or gems etc (I used the stars) and a ribbon .

The challenge this week is sponsored by sassy studio designs and the prize is 4 digis .

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 !

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

INTERNET DOWN :(

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

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

Song Title challenge

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)

Anything goes

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

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

Lavender and Lace

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
