Lili of the Valley Challenge

The challenge is anything but a square and i am hoping this shaped card fits the bill!

I have used pom pom who has been glittered and coloured with pro markers. The papers and embellishments are all by craftwork cards.

Allsorts - Recycle

Well this card made me think!

My new Lili of the valley images arrived this week (and more may have to follow :o)) and i have enjoyed colouring them up with my pro markers and glittering them - i do still need to work on my colouring!

The recycled element was a piece of a paper bag i got some papers in, i cut out my image with a nellie snellen die, the flowers are are marianne dies, which i have topped with buttons tied with bakers twine, the leaves are a little claire die and i have added a craftworks greeting and a few dew drops.

Happy Birthday Mummy

I bought a couple some of the new graphic 45 papers after seeing a lovely card made with them and then i saw this little calendar block and thought i would make my mum a little office calendar for her birthday. I have used some seam binding, german glass glitters, martha stewart doily punch to make the flowers and some heart gems. I also used a marianne swirl and a martha stewart heart punch. Had a bit of a spendathon since christmas so time to start behaving again. Looks so pretty though.

Have learnt to edit my phot's in picasa and blog them tonight so i now have my name on my card too. really pleased with myself lol

Not for a challenge but a pretty one to share!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

A nice challenge this week where you get to choose four items from a crafty buffet (calorie free)!

I chose: Ribbon, patterened paper, 3 flowers, 3 pearl gems.

I have used a bunny from a clear set coloured with pros and cut out with a nellie snellen die, there is also a piece of patterned paper cut with a martha stewart punch. I have used some german glass glitter and mini butterflies to embellish.

Allsorts - Teal blue and brown

This weeks challenge is to use teal blue and brown and i have enjoyed every minute of this card this afternoon, so much so that i can see a couple more colourways being made too, i coloured the image a few weeks ago as sometimes you need to do something but can't complete a whole card!

You can find the challenge at Allsorts Challenge

I have used a martha stewart punch and a marianne die which i have embellished with butterflies and pearls, haven't added flowers to a card for a while and i have missed them - so glad christmas cards are over and this card is already having me dreaming of spring on the allotment.

Hope you like it!

All you need is Love

and i wish i could find some lol!

This months challenge is love themed (not my favourite) so i have dusted off a clear set. I used some nice heart scrapbook papers which toned with the red card and and have tried to make something which is cute but not too girly!

Sir Stampalot challenge - Winters Tale

Well you can't get much more of a winter time story than the birth of Jesus and these 3 kings are on their way to find him following a star.

The kings are by Art impressions, coloured with pro's and embellished with gold ink.

i don't know if you can see but the backgorund paper is also small crowns and i have added some printwork stamps to this as they are so appropriate.

Allsorts Challenge - Thank You

Happy New year.

As you will see above i have a new personalised stamp from father christmas and needed to show people who would appreciate it!

My first challenge of 2011 and it seemed appropriate to use my new sales purchases :o) i have used a double sided scrapbook paper (which i wish i had bought more of now) and a popcorn bear image which i have 3'd. I have used two nellie snellen dies, some gold pearls and the thankyou stamp is by personal expressions. Coloured with pro's as usual :o)

Happy Crafting to one and all.
