Polkadoodle Challenge

This week over at Polkadoodles the challenge is to make a card with an envelope format, and after seeing this cute little image over at Digital Delights thought how perfect it would be for this challenge. I coloured the image with my promarkers and then scaled my background paper from Bearly Mine using the computer to add an insert to my envelope. The lovely ticket sentiment was another freebie from Bizzy Becs.

Hope you have a good week .

Passion for Promarkers

Here is my challenge card for Passion for Promarkers where you had to use at least 2 colours out of Lilac, Lavender, Amethyst and Aubergine. For mine I used Lilac and Amethyst. I haven't been entering the challenges recently due to time restraints but I have made a challenge to myself that I will start to do more.

All papers are from Pink Petticoat and the adorable image was a lovely little freebie from Sketching Stamper where Chris designs some truly beautiful designs. If you haven't seen them yet then pop on over. I have purchased some of these in the past and I can honestly say that they are so easy to colour and really versatile. I added some ribbons from my stash and a computer generated sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by.

Anniversary Card

My mum asked me if I could make a card for some very good friends of theirs as it will be their Coral anniversary next week. I decided that I would make a card to match the little box of notelets that I made last week for her as the colours were just right for coral, especially as mum fell in love with the notelet box exclaiming "wow I would have loved one of them to give to Carmela" - so Mum, if you are reading this I got the hint and here is the card to go with it LOL.

Polkadoodle Challenge 4

Here is my entry for the Polkadoodle challenge. This week we had to follow the sketch but also use the free paper that was also provided. This was a tough challenge, especially after looking at the awesome creations the DT had done. I decided that I would make the card into a bird house and have the message on a separate card that pulls out, this then gave me a chance to make a card using the wonderful Lily-boo digital images called the Twit Too Collection. These have been created by a very talented lady called Sam and all sets can be purchased for £1.99, pop on over there and have a nosy at all the collections as they are fab. All other papers are digital downloads from daisiecompany.com. I have also edged the papers with my Fiskars Threading Water punch.

DT Cards - Underwater Ovals

Morning everyone, I hope you had a peaceful time last night while the footie was on. I know I did, I finally had time to play without any interruptions as the boys were heavily engrossed. I have been trying to find time to play with the Under The Sea Collection from Lily-Boo's Boutique. For those who haven't been over to her site yet, pop on over as she designs the most adorable images that come on a sheet of 6 for £1.99.

Looks like it is going to be another lovely day

Here are the cards that I got done using these images. Hope you like them.

Wedding Cards

Good morning. I hope you all enjoyed the bank holiday weekend and took advantage of the lovely weather we had. It has been really busy over here what with Benn's birthday and having the family all gathered. We really had a lovely time though and it was nice catching up as everyone leads such busy lives these days.

I was asked by a friend to make a couple of wedding cards for her as her brother is getting married this week. I must say I struggled a bit with these as she insisted that her brother's name was mentioned first as she is extremely close to him. I didn't have a hard time actually doing it, it was mentally I struggled as I don't know about you but I have always felt that it didn't matter whether they were family members or not, the brides name should always be first. What do you think, I would be interested in anyone else's thoughts on this, or is it just me?

I have used all Pink Petticoat on one of the cards including the new Lola Rose Wedding designs and on the other I used my Cricut machine. Anyway, thanks for looking and I hope you like them.

Daisy May Challenge Card

Morning everyone, hope you are all looking forward to the weekend, I am.

I managed to get a bit of time last night to work on my Daisy May challenge card and here it is. The little girl image is a digital download from Sketching Stamper, I just love her great big eyes. She is coloured in with those lovely promarkers again. I have used Bazzill cardstock in pink and lilac that I scalloped using my Fiskars Threading Water punch and a piece of background paper from my stash. Finished off with a couple of flowers, ribbon and a rub on sentiment.

Hope you enjoy looking.
