Lili of the Valley meets Truly Scrumptious :o)

Awwww bless her the wee girl I look after in the mornings went for a lovely long sleep this morning and I managed to get an hours crafting in :o) I originally planned to tidy up the stash a bit, but then I found the image of the wee kitty so I decided to use it and any thoughts of tidying up went out my head (natch!)

The challenge over at Lili of the Valley is a recipe: 3 brads, 2 papers and 1 flower. I love this wee kitty from Lili of the Valley, she's sooo cute. She is coloured with promarkers (I hardly use anything else these days lol). The papers were free in a magazine, the ribbon along the bottom is a paper ribbon from the papers. The flowers and butterflies are from my stash. The sketch I used to make the card is from the first challenge over at Truly scrumptious

Now the older ones are home from school we are watching Harry Potter on dvd and I had forgotten how young and likkle Daniel Radcliff was when the first film came out.........aww you could just eat him he's so cute lol....mind you now he's older he's still yummy but in a more scrummy way lmao........... I am happily married...........honest lol

one card for three challenges

I do wish I had time to make individual cards for all the challenges but there's not enough hours and WAY too many fabby challenges out there!!! I started off with the yellow and green challenge over at Dutch Dare, then thought that it would also fit the Spring theme over at Cute Card Thursday and lastly I used the sketch over at The Secret Crafter

The image is of course the cutest Daisy from Sugar Nellie, coloured with promarkers. Papers were free with a magazine. Mats cut with scalloped square nesties, corner swirls cut with cuttlebug die.

I kind of wish I'd layered the spotted paper onto coloured card so it would show up better than it does against the white, but hey ho too late now lol

JCBC week 20

Is it Monday again already??Where does the weekend go? I feels like only a couple of hours since the kids left on Friday lol Monday means another challenge at Just Christmas and Birthday Cards and this week's sketch by Gry-Heidi is fabulous :o) I made both cards this week.

Xmas Card: Paper by FunkyFairy, image by Lili of the Valley, Joy stamp from a SeeD set.

Birthday card: Paper by Papermania, Image by Leeanne Ellis for Sugar Nellie coloured with promarkers, ribbon and slider from stash. I have 3d's a couple of the flowers, one in her hair and the top one.

I hope you will have fun with the sketch, I know I did and I imagine I will use it more than once :o)

Mojo Monday meets The Pink Elephant

I just love this sketch from Mojo Monday, and I have been trying to get to it all week but life's been busy and finally got round to it tonight. The challenge at The Pink Elephant is All that glitters

I flipped the sketch to fit in the Leeanne Ellis Luvvie stamp from Sugar Nellie. Her dress is paper pieced, all papers are from Papermania black and white pad. Raffia is from Tesco, the flowers are from stash (coloured black with a marker) The heart is glittered with some lush red fine glitter

Lets just hope I am in time for the challenges eh lol

AWWW a lovely award

I received this lovely award from Steph. Thankyou so much sweetie, how fab of you to think of me :o) If I get a chance I'll nominate some peeps for this tomorrow

DAD wordbook

A friend asked me to make a card for her husband from their two girls. I was out of mojo when I was sitting with the card blank but then I decided to try and make a wordbook. The papers arrived today and are by Dovecraft, the self adhesive ribbons and chipboard embellies are from the same set. Ribbons are from SU!. The image is Edwin from Magnolia and is coloured with promarkers, I cut off the wings though as the recipient really isn't a fairy kind of guy.......know what I mean? lol ;o)

I have been planning to buy the Funky Daze cd from Funkyhand for a while now as I really like these books and after spending quite a LONG time on this today (and going wrong once or twice of course lol) I will definetely be waiting til I have bought the cd before I make another one of these :o)

I have looked through my notebook and I see that this will qualify for the ABC challenge:- B for Brown and Blue and Charisma Cardz:- Hugs and Kisses (there's plenty of cuddles in the pics!)

The Sugar Bowl challenge #4

Have been meaning to post this one for a couple of days but kept forgetting until the laptop was closed down lol I made this for the fourth Sugar Bowl challenge............use only one piece of patterned paper.................and boy was it a challenge, kept wanting to use more lol!!!

The image is Sweet n Sassy by Sugar Nellie and has been coloured with a mixture of promarkers, gel pens and whispers. The paper is Papermania. Flowers and brad are from my stash as is the ribbon. The card is actually a folder filled with stamped images for a bloggy buddy :o)
