CRAFT Challenge DT card

Good evening from a very warm and sunny Derbyshire

Our challenge this week over at CRAFT Challenges is

"Well Done/Congratulations/You've Done It!

I have used Graduate Rhubarb and elements from "Graduation " by Sweet 'n' Sassy coloured with my Promarkers and the die in the middle of the card is a Tonic Studio one..."Gothic Border" and I love it.

Good job I did this card well in advance as we have had a very poorly pet in our house and the only thing I have thought about is getting her better.  She has been diagnosed with pancreatitus !!!!!  Hopefully with medication and a special diet we can get through this and have her back to her normal self again..  Fingers crossed

Have a super evening and catch you all again real soon

Spot/Stripes...

Or in my case both............................

Lovely freebie papers - tonic studios die cuts and i got to use one of my new sentiment stamps from SU - coloured of course using my promarkers ....I love this image from Nutcrafters and I'm sure by now you've guessed that the challenge is Spots/Stripes.

Christmas in August ????

Well it is over at CRAFT Challenges this week.

For my DT card I chose to use some new Christmas Stash from my goodie bag and a lovely reindeer called Rudolph from Robyn's Fetish.

The papers are textured and feel more like material - even the velvet ribbon was included in the pack - Rudolph was coloured using my Promarkers including a metallic gold one..

Do come and say hello to us and maybe win a prize in the challenge

Love and hugs

Not a great sewer so not sure how long it will stay together for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good evening to my followers

I'm a bit warm tonight - so stuffy and airless but shouldn't complain at least i don't have layers of jumpers on and cold feet!!!

Now then over at CRAFT Challenges this week the theme is "Bookmark/Doorhanger - how about that for a challenge???

Do come and join in the fun - lots of lovely prizes as always and we are always happy to see your creations

Here is my little bookmark using a digi from Bugaboo - Fish Whisperer - and i found a little fish brad in the bottom of a drawer - just perfect.  Coloured with my promarkers and mounted onto some embossed card which I distressed with my sanding block.

Enjoy the rest of your evening and look out for some piccies of lots of cards I have been making whilst staying in Bridlington

Love and hugs

Butterflies and Bows

Good Morning

Sunshine here in Derbyshire which is always a good start to a Wednesday morning.

Our challenge over at Nutcrafters this time has been chosen by the very talented Gemma

"Butterflies and Bows"

I have always got lots of butterflies stashed away in my craft room so all i needed to do was to decide which image to use and which butterflies to put on my card.

Coloured with my promarkers matted and layered onto 2 scalloped die-cuts, a few butterflies and my sentiment and there we have my DT card for Nutcrafters.

We would love for you to come and join us - come on show us how many butterflies you can get on one card

Enjoy your day

Sorry for the absense.....

Ooops not been blogging recently - life has gotten in the way of crafting - oh and so has a 2 week holiday but normal service is now resumed...

So let's start August off with my DT card for CRAFT Challenges - the theme we have chosen this week is mono-chromatic..ie one main colour.  I have gone for pretty pinks and have chosen to use a digi from Inky Impressions called Angelica Crafting.

Coloured her with my promarkers although not happy with her hair at all...think i need another lesson from Phil !!!

I followed a sketch for my inspiration from Papertake Weekly and i used sketch #81

Right time to dash as we are off to the seaside with the doogies 

Enjoy your weekend
