Couldn't resist another.....

...cute little spook!

Hello there....Happy Wednesday!

While I was busy making my "tea at grannys" card last night I couldn't resist also making another little halloween card! I never normally make many halloween cards, but I love my new images so much that I can't stop using them!!

So here you go.....

 

I've gone with a black and yellow colour combo, and used more of that fab spider web backing paper. I've coloured my cute little spook with my Promarkers. Simples!

 

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

 

Papertake Weekly Challenge - fright night boo!

Passion for Promarkers - happy bee (yellow and black colours please!)

Through the Craftroom Door - anything goes

Fashionista Challenge - anything goes

 

Pop by all these fab blogs to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created for inspiration!

 

Thanks for popping by today,

See you again soon I hope!

A flowerly card

Wow!!! It's early!! I haven't been up and dressed this early (intentionally) in ages! I'm off to a doctor's conference in London today lucky me! Anyway, thought I'd get a quick post in first!

I've found a new challenge blog that is only it's second week.....The Creative Cottage Challenge Blog!

I missed their first challenge, but remembered to look for their second one, which has a nice easy theme...flowers! The DT have come up with some fab designs, take a peek here at their lovely work.

This is my card for the challenge - I've used a cute stamped image which I love. I've coloured it with a mixture of pencils and pens. The sentiment has been created on the computer.

I used a blue backing paper, topped with some lovely blue and white checked paper (I think I was keeping it for a baby card, but hey ho!!). I have backed both the image and the sentiment with the blue backing paper too.

I used some fab spotty ribbon, which is attached around the blue and white paper. I then attached the image, sliding one side under the ribbon, followed by my sentiment. The sentiment is attached using 3D sticky pads, everything else lays flush on the card.

I am really pleased with how this cards looks! Anyway, better get going....my cab will be here soon!

Have a fab day whatever you're up to and thanks for stopping by today.

Cute Card Thursday - Challenge 79 Buzz Off!

So, I've just spent a challenging couple of hours at my first ever dress making / sewing class...the tutor is lovely, the ladies are all very friendly and encouraging....I just found the actual sewing rather difficult. In fact it took me the best part of the two hours to sew a zip into a piece of fabric...plus the finished result has rather a lot of wonky stitches on it!! Oh well, what better way to relax then to find myself a card challenge to take part in........

The Cute Card Thursday Challenge this week is entitled "Buzz Off!"....    http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/2009/09/challenge-79-buzz-off.html ......but the lovely ladies are not being rude...no they simply want projects that use a black / yellow combo....which reminded me of one of my favourite Valentine Cards from this year..... Bee Mine!

A really simple card design, made cute with the wobbly eyes on the bee...it proved very popular with my friends and work colleagues! I hope you all enjoy!
