Sweet Dreams

Evening Folks
Hope you are all well. Made this card just because I wanted to! Although I have found a challenge I can sneak it into, which is the StamptacularSunday challenge and their theme is 'Flower Power'. Bought this cutie the other day and just had to play! Will do a spot of hopping now before my early bedtime!
Thanks for looking.

My Little Pony

Afternoon Folks
Brrrrrr! My hands are still frozen! They switched the heating off at work, but hopefully it will be back on tomorrow! Blooming hope so! Anyway, on to todays card which is the gorgeous Lili Of The Valley image not the scarey candy coloured ponys of yesteryear. It's going into a couple of challenges which are; Create4Fun challenge, which is to use the colours 'Brown, Cream & Pink' and the PileItOn challenge, which is 'Animal-riffic'. Time for some more crafting to try and warm my hands up!
Thanks for looking guys.

Get Well Tea

Hi Folks
Hope everyone is well. Here I am with a card for the JustCuteBears challenge, which is a sketch. I've had this super cute bear with his pot of tea for a while now, so this was the perfect time to ink him up! Please tell me I'm not the only person that just has to have a stamp, only to then not play with them for ages! Am I?! No I didn't think so!! Phew! I'm really enjoying using my Promarkers at the minute too, again I've had them for while but wasn't really sure how to use them, still need abit of practise though. Right, off do a spot of blog hopping me thinks.
Thanks for looking everyone.

Springtime Wedding

Evening Folks
I'm here again! This couple are sooo sweet! Couldn't wait to ink them and colour them in. This card is for the LiliOfTheValley challenge which is a sketch and I've switched it around abit so I hope it still counts! If not, I do apologise. And I finally got round to messing about with Photoshop! Hooray! It really makes such a difference, especially with the bad light from all the rain we've had today. Boo! Anyway, will do some blog hopping now.

Hi Folks
It's that mouse again! I couldn't help but colour this little cutie in again, but struggled abit with this card, I think Miss Mojo went for a day trip! This one is for the HouseMouseMonday challenge which is a sketch and I broke into my new pad of Papermania 'Rose Garden' paper (gasp!), which is gorgeous and I've had those wild roses by Petaloo for a while now, but am very stingy when it comes to using them cos they're sooo lovely! Will go and ink up some of my new LOTV stamps now I think and will see you all later.
Have a fab weekend and thank you for looking.

Engaged Couple

Hi Folks
Today I have some happy news and I think we need abit after our terrible tragedy and sadness. My brother Craig and his girlfriend Emmy have just got engaged and looking to be married in July next year! So will be making a couple of cards and this is one of them, which I'm entering into the PennyBlackSaturdayChallenge and their challenge is to make an easel card. Now I 've not done this before so this is my first attempt and I think you might call it a mini easel card! But I'm quite pleased with it though!
Thanks for looking and enjoy the weekend everyone.

Gone Fishin'

Hi Folks
Here I am with another challenge card, was in the mood to do a boys card and couldn't wait to ink this little stamp up! Love his flat cap! Went abit wild with my distressing inks and tools (for me) and I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out, will have to do more of this!
This one is for the CardsForMen challenge, their theme is 'paper piecing', which I've not done before so was abit wimpy and just did his cap! I'm also entering it into the CardPatterns challenge too. Right, I think it's time to do another card!
Take care and thanks for looking.

Happy Bunny Day

Was feeling abit low today, so got stuck into some crafting and here's another Mothers Day card which I'm entering into the SketchSaturday challenge and the CuteCardThursday challenge, their theme is 'Lucky Green'. Just couldn't resist this cute bunny when I saw him, perfect for a spring card and am loving the paper from Wild Rose Studio, this pack has some with cakes on which I can't wait to use. Mmmm, think I should probably get out more!
Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Lofty

Afternoon Folks
Here's a card for the PennyBlackChallenge which is a sketch, so I thought I'd make a start on a few Mothers Day cards. I tried a new technique (for me anyway) and used my Whispers marker pens straight onto the stamp and then spritzed it with water from a mini mister and voila, it looks as if you've watercoloured it. Soooo simple but looks fab, well I was pleased with it anyway! Oh and the glitter paper is soooo sparkly, love my glitter.
Better go and sort my laundry wash out, then will be back later to do abit of blog hopping.
Thanks for looking.
