Happy Tuesday!

Hello there!

Well, I've had a lovely lazy start to the day! I have taken today as annual leave and I'm off into London in a bit to meet my friend Becca...we're off to some museums today.

Time for a quick card though! I started this card last night and finished it off today when I saw this week's challenge over at a Passion for Promarkers which is "Special Birthday".

I've been experimenting with my Promarkers some more, discovering what affects I can achieve and I'm really pleased with this pretty card. I love how I've added a little demension to the flowers by using the two greens together.

I'd also like to enter this card in the "anything goes" challenge over at Lili's Little Fairies!

Right, a really quick post....I've got a train to catch!

Oh La La!

Hello there....hope you're having a fab bank holiday Monday! Mine has been soooo relaxing! Lots of crafting for me today and lots of vintage shopping yesterday at a fab vintage festival! I dressed for the occassion in one of my 1960s dresses and managed to buy a gorgeous piece of antler luggage.....what do you think?? Just the right size for my new handbag!!

Soooo...its Monday and that means one thing....its time for a new challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge....and this week the theme is "Oh La La!" If you're stuck for inspiration check out the Cupcake blog to see all the gorgeous DT cards. I went for a bathroom theme.....with lots of pink and a splash of blue!

I hope this is enough "oh la la" for the Cupcake ladies!!  I've coloured my image with my Promarkers and added a little sparkle to the bubbles with my stickles.

I'd also like to enter this card over at Make it Monday.....pop by to join in the fun and see all the fab cards that have been made this week!

I've done a lot of paper crafting this weekend....this is my favourite type of card making. I find something very satisfying about making pieces of paper into shapes that people recognise! Here are some of the cards I made this weekend....

I've seen both of these in a magazine recently and I'm really pleased with how they turned out!


Right, I'm off....I've got some friends coming over for dinner tonight and I need to finish off the chocolate cake that I've made for pudding!

Black and White and not square!

Hello Folks, hope you're having a fab Saturday!

I have a quick card for you today as I am supposed to be getting ready for a night out (yes I realise its very early!!).

So this card is for the Black and White challenge over at Allsorts this week.....I've been a bit naughty adding a little brown to the image and I hope the Allsorts ladies let me off. The image looked a bit odd without the brown though!

I'd also like to enter this in the "shape it up" challenge over at CES Challenge this week, they want to see cards that are any shape except for square. I'm afraid that I've been a little boring here with my rectangle card - sorry!!

Time for a sweet treat!

Woo hoo! Its Fridays....its a long weekend....and I have Tuesday off as well! That makes me very happy! I hope you're also in a good mood on this Friday evening!

Sooo....I haven't blogged in a couple of days so I thought I better catch up with some challenges! First off we have one of my least favourite challenges over at Cute Card Thursday this week....yes thats right, they're asking for "one for the boys". After all these years I still struggle with male cards....someone I know even commented on how my male cards didn't seem as good as my female ones!! Anway, when I see this challenge I always give it a go....after all practice makes perfect!!

This isn't too bad....masculine colours, a guitar and a sentiment that makes me smile. Pop by the Cute Card Thursday blog to see all the cute DT cards that have been created for men!

I've also got another couple of challenges to catch up with....firstly we have Sweet Sketch Wednesday....I haven't joined the ladies in a couple of weeks and decided it was time to play along again. I love using Arlana's sketches and DT always make such cool cards. This week's sketch is just fab...

Here is my interpretation of the sketch....

I'd also like to enter this card in the third Birthday challenge over at Simon Says Stamp this week....there are lots of fab prizes this week....pop by their blog to find out more. Happy Birthday ladies!

The third challenge I'd like to enter this card in is the "circles" challenge over at DYSU this week....if you call them circles rather than dots then I have lots!!

Bright & Light

Happy Tuesday!

Well, I know I said it was weird weather last week...but the last 24 hours have been mad!! Yesterday was quite dull and windy, last night there was a thunder storm so loud that it actually woke me up, this morning I drove to work in the rain and now there is beautiful sunshine outside my window! Bizarre!!

The challenge this week at Passion for Promarkers is "Bright & Light".....soooo they want to see either a brightly coloured image and a lightly coloured background or vice versa.....interesting!! I opted for a bright image on a lighter background.....

I found this challenge quite challenging as I'd never tried anything like this before. I knew the look I wanted, but I don't think I've quite achieved it here....never mind practice makes perfect!!

As well as Passion for Promarkers I'd also like to enter this card in the "anything goes" challenge over at Papertake Weekly this week.

Pop by both blogs to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created as inspiration.

Just a short post tonight, as dinner is nearly ready - stuffed peppers - yummy!!
