Craftbubble challenge

Here is my entry for this weeks craftbubble challenge on the let's get stamping group. Do come and join us, they are a fabby little group of crafters! This week it was Sharon's turn to set the challenge. We had a sketch to follow and had to use up scraps!

The little owl is a download from willow designs.

Allsorts challenge

I haven't done many allsorts challenges but I couldn't resist this one as it gave me the chance to use my new Pink Petticoat dvd which arrived only this week. It was a bargain not to be missed and will come in handy not just for Halloween but the papers are fab for any time of year! Anyway the challenge was to use Pink Petticoat products and "kraft" colour. I chose to use this as backing papers. I also cut out some spider images and attached them with cotton so that they dangle.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!!

New craftbubble challenge set by Cherry and dottie's world challenge.

This is my take on Cherry's lovely sketch over on the craftbubble forum. This took me quite some time as I paperpieced this lovely digi image from charmed crafts. I also used promarkers. I have decoupaged the trims on her dress and embossed with pink glittery embossing powder. I have also used a cuttlebug embossing folder, sissix flourish die, buttons and a gem. Sentiment and papers came from funky fairy. I have also just discovered that this challenge fits in perfectly with the Dottie's world challenge which is to use charms on your card!!

Penny Black

This card was made for Teresa. It's coloured with promarkers and I have used two different stitch settings on my trusty sewing machine.

Baby love

This card was for my friend Jane ( a different Jane to the one who had the baby!!) I used a Joanna Sheen cdrom.

Messy, messy,messy!!

Computers, printers, aah they have both played me up recently! Now I have missed blogging and cardmaking so hopefully I am back with avengeance now! Here's two cards I have made using the messy rabbit cd. The baby one was for my friend Jane who has just had a baby boy called William. He is so cute! I have decoupaged the pin, bottle and pram although it doesn't show up too well on here and the photo has a big shadowy figure which was me! The second one will be for my friend Emma who has a birthday next month!

Card for my friend

I have been making cards for my friends Nicky and Teresa once every month now for about three months. It's been so nice to receive these beautiful cards in the post instead of those horrible bills so I just wanted to share some of them with you. Neither of them have blogs which I think is such a shame as they both create such beautiful cards. This one is going to my friend Nicky this month.......I can't put on Teresa's as I know that she looks here!! In a minute I shall share their cards with you.

Craftbubble challenge.

On the let's get stamping group challenge this week, Katie wanted circles! Here's mine. LOL...as I did!!

Monday Pollycraft challenge.

The challenge on Pollycraft this week was to include furry friends! Here's mine using the lovely Cherry kisses which I have to say I simply adore and want them all! I have chosen a blue/pale yellow scheme and have used papermania burberry papers and of course promarkers.

Candy

Firstly a couple of mentions for two craftbubble friends who have candy on their blogs. Maddie and Cherry. Go take a look now! xx

Willow sketchie

This is the card I have made for the willow sketchie. I have used the download "Keeping warm" which I won for a card I made in the let's get stamping group on Craftbubble. A very lovely download it is too and I now want them all!! I have used my promarkers and chose carmine to cover the stocking as I missed the carmine promarker challenge in the group when I was on holiday!

More!

fairy card

This is the card I sent to my friend Teresa. I used the pixie chicks downloads and I love this fairy!

Craftbubble challenge

Well, I have been away for ages I know but hopefully I am back on form! This week over on the let's get stamping group the challenge was set by Katie. She provided us with a sketch and said that we weren't allowed to make a card!! :( So here's my scrapped page which took me out of my comfort zone as I have only ever done a couple of pages before. The photo is my friend's son and he took this himself of him and Ted when I was at their house on Saturday night.

Christmas spirit in August!

Just to get you back in to the christmas spirit!!

Thanks Teresa!

I have to thank my friend Teresa for sending me this stamped image.

Craftbubble sketchie

This is my entry for the lets get stamping group on craftbubble. the challenge this week was set by the lovely Karen and as well as the sketch to follow there was also the theme of Christmas. Anyone for mulled wine and mince pies??? I have used the pixie chicks downloads which are my new favourite downloads from Charmed cards and crafts. They are just so beautiful! I have coloured the image with promarkers and decorated with glossy accents and glamour dust.

New award

Firstly I would like to thank Keryn very much for this beautiful award. It really is very much appreciated. Go take a peak at her blog as she also has some fantastic cards there.

My new card winging it's way to my friend Nicky soon!

I have coloured this with promarkers, glamour dust and glossy accents and decorated with some lush bling as that was our challenge to each other!

I ♥ promarkers challenge on Facebook.

Well just got this challenge done by the skin of my teeth as it's once a month! I have been wanting to do this one for ages but have just not got around to it until last night! Yes talk about last minute! Anyway here she is! She is an image from charmed cards and crafts and I have coloured her dress in magenta and berry red. Her shoes are lime and pine ( I think!) I also used glossy accents and a bit of bling as every girl needs a bit of sparkle when she's all dressed up to party!

Dotties world challenge

This week over on Dottie's world challenge the challenge was to use bling, either gems or glitter or both. I have given my fairies some blingy wings but there was no room to add any more gems!! I coloured this with Lyras.

Willow sketchie

Over on the willow sketchie challenge blog, Heidi provided the sketch to follow and we also had to make a Christmas card! I have used the woody download and the snowman download for this. I cropped the Woody image and then flipped it, coloured with promarkers, layering colours to get the colour I wanted. I then made a present for the recipient's tree so it's a present and card in one! I think it's turned out quite well!!

Let's get stamping group on craftbubble

Here's my take on the challenge over on the let's get stamping craftbubble group. Sharon provided the sketch this week. I have used a lovely Penny Black image sent to me by my friend Teresa and have coloured them with promarkers. I even stamped on the little buttons! I also used basic grey papers.

craftbubble challenge.

Here's my entry for the craftbubble challenge from the let's get stamping group. I have used a willow design download. I just love this little lady she's so cute!

Dottie's world challenge

This week over on Dottie's world the challenge is anything French. There are some gorgeous samples to view. Here's my take on the challenge. I have used an image from the worldtours collection.

Dare u challenge

This week on the dare u 2 digi stamp challenge blog the theme was pink, black and white. Herer's my take on the challenge. I used the lovely charmed crafts girls about town downloads and coloured them with promarkers. The paper is also a download from Pink Petticoat from the lola's boudoir collection which is retiring.

More blog candy!

I have just discovered Natalie's blog! What a great find it is too. She has some fabulous blog candy up for grabs. Her work is stunning and well worth a look.

Blog Candy

Jodi has some fab blog candy but you'll have to be quick as it finishes 11th July .

Dotties world challenge.

This week on Dottie's world challenge, the brief was to take inspiration from your garden. Here's mine. The little robin visits me every day! I have a little fence and lots of yellow flowers and a few strawberries hence colouring the pixie's dress in a strawberry colour.

Willow Sketchie challenge.

This weeks Willow sketchie challenge is a fab sketch bt Deanne. Here's my take on the challenge

I have used the Walk in the park download for this. It has been coloured with promarkers.

Penny Black

Finally here's a card that I made earlier from an image that my friend Teresa sent me. I have coloured this one with H20s. The papers were freebies from a mag and the sentiment is from the popcorn stamp set.

New crafters companion Challenge.

My fellow blogger Wendy has been very busy setting up a new crafter's companion challenge blog. If you have any of the crafter's companion cds and/ or stamps then this is definitely worth a look and there is also a prize up for grabs! There is a sketch to follow. Here's my take on the sketch, but I am a bit cross as I have managed to put a blob of ink on Popcorn's nose!!

Beautiful pixie.

I have made this card using the new pixie download set 1 from charmed cards and crafts. I think I will give it to my sis in law who is having a 40th birthday soon.

Well, I have finally got my act together and got my mojo back.....I think! I went on holiday to Cornwall a couple of weeks ago and when I came back it seemed that my mojo had completely vanished....left on the beach I think!

Anyway, I seem to be getting back into the swing of things now and thought I would put up some more cards on my blog. I have been feeling ill today with the horrible sickness and diarrhoea ( yuck) so can't be too far from the bathroom and have had an impromptu day off work, shame I haven't been able to enjoy it!!

On Saturday the let's get stamping group over on Craftbubble had the usual challenge and there was a sketch to follow as well as the added twist of using the colours red, white and blue.

Here's my take on the challenge using the fab downloads from Sharon!
