Screen cards...

Thought I would show you a couple of lovely screen cards I made at the weekend - I had a whole day to do anything I pleased so I chose to craft.

They are made mainly using Stampin Up papers, stamps, inks and punches.  The bottom had a 40th sentiment added to it for a card shower for a certain famous "Ali" lol

Hope you like ???

I am off to Doncaster on Sunday for my 1st craft show of the year "Stamp Magic" - my favourite...

Have a good weekend whatever your plans.

Nutcrafter Challenge

Fancy making a card with a number on it - well in that case come and join in our challenge at Nutcrafters as we are looking for lots of lovely entries for our "Numbers" challenge

 

I have used my promarkers to colour my nutcrafter's "dragon" and then used some freebie papers that I found in a drawer last week.

Great prize for the winner and you could also be one of the top 3 if you use a Nutcrafter image...

Good luck and hope you have all enjoyed the weekend of sunshine.  I certainly have 

Love and hugs as always

Woo hoo lokk what I got !!!

I got chosen as one of the top 5 over at Incy Wincy Challenges - well pleased.

Tonic die - Emily

I love this die and use it on quite a few of my cards...but this time to show it off, I have just cut it from some hunkydory card stock...and then some gems and a sentiment and I think quite an elegant card...the bottom of the die looks yellow but actually it is gold..hence the gold-rimmed sentiment....

Stampin up card no. 3

Lovely sentiment on this card...another quick and easy one

Stampin up card no 2

This is such a simple design but one of my favourites....again all goodies supplied by my friend and then this is my design... I'd love to be able to tell you the colours used but I am useless with the fancy names...

I have entered the challenge at Love to Create Challenge

Pretty things...

This is my take on the card I bought as a kit...and I shall be sending it to one of my best friends for her birthday..

Nutcrafter's Bingo Challenge

Good afternoon Crafters - we have a little bit of Bingo going off at Nutcrafters - basically pick your row !!! and this will then give you your inspiration for your project.

The layout for my card came from a piccie I saw in a Making Cards magazine and of course the super little girly image is from Nutcrafters.  Coloured with Promarkers, martha stewart punch for the decorative strip...and ribbon from my stash - I loved the idea of the balloon with the string attached and finally a couple of gems (flowers)

Do come and say hi to my teamies - fab group of girlies and very very talented...

Love and hugs

Something a bit different

I saw this idea in the Crafter's Companion Inspiration magazine , so after treating myself to a couple of embossing boards (not my usual thing at all !!!) thought I would give it a go...

The Papers are DCWV - baby collection and the flower is using a Martha Stewart Punch (one of my favourites) and Baby sentiment I stamped with a woodware set.

I am going to fill it with some little baby bits as a pressie for my friends daughter.

Happy Easter....

Happy Easter to all my crafty friends.  Hope you have all had a good time.  I have been to Yorkshire with my hubby and dog for 4 whole days...very unusual that hubby gets any time off over Easter.  We had a great time and such lovely weather too ....

Silly me forgot to post her DT card though before I left so I'm afraid it's a little late..

Nutcrafters challenge this month has been chosen by Jo - Go Girly!!  What a great choice...

I love this oh so cute Stamp - very Alice in Wonderland I thought -   coloured with my Promarkers, gingham card from one of the shows, and butterflies and flowers from my stash..very girly.

do come and say hello HERE great prizes up for grabs and there are some fab new designs from our lovely Katie...

Right off to make some dinner.

Nutcrafter's Challenge

Good morning - It is my turn to host the Nutcrafters Challenge and I have chosen a colour theme

"Pink and Brown"

I just love this colour combo, so come on get those promarkers, flexmarkers, copics etc out and share your colouring skills with us at Nutcrafters - of course you don't have to use you colouring pens you could just find some yummy pink and brown papers - oh I am thinking marshmallows and chocolates now.

Now this is one of the new images that the lovely Katie has designed - she has got so many lovely stamps and digis about to be launched and lucky ole me gets to play with them all.

Oh happy bunny !!!

Coloured with my promarkers, DCWV backing papers, organza ribbon and bow, a few pearls and my sentiment is a computer generated one.  Oh yes and a ribbon slide given to me by a lovely friend - well actually she gave me a bag full.

I shall be at work as you read this but I shall be counting down the hours as I am off to Yorkshire for a few days and soooooo looking forward to it.

Until next time - happy crafting
