Hi all,

I'm back this week with my DT card for the challenge over at 

QKR Stampede

where the challenge is always Anything Goes

This week, I've made a Christmas card using

Sledding Bear digi#15906

I used the plaid paper as I wanted to create a card which would 

be suitable for a man. It looks so cosy too!

The image was coloured with promarkers & the star & baubles on the tree 

were highlighted using my Sakura Glaze pens.

For the layout, I followed the sketch from  Create a Smile

and, as I wanted to keep it simple I didn't add many embellishments,

just a few little bits of card candi!

I used a font called Mountains Of Christmas to create the sentiment

I hope you can play along in the challenge, which is always anything goes.

This is sadly my last GDT post for Scribbles Designs Challenges

Here's my card!

My Christmas In June card was made using   

Snow Heads and Let It Snow Quotes

Those of you who know me will know I'm a sucker for a snowman!

The cuter the better! Lol

I opted to go with Christmas, since Katrina the other GDT  pointed out,

"It's exactly 6 months until Christmas!" Eeeeek!

I used a bright yellow 6"x6" card base & fairy light papers from my stash.

The image was coloured with Promarkers, Copics & Flexmarkers then

cut with an oval die & matted on to a scalloped oval.

I made some fish tails & added some ribbon with a double bow.

The sentiment tickets were bundles in the corner & a few buttons 

were also added to embellish.

I have to say a great big thanks for inviting me to GDT! 

It sure has been fun playing with these images.

Hope I can do it again sometime!

Things With Wings

Good morning all!

It's Monday, which means a new challenge over at Eureka Samps!

This week, the theme is a favourite, which can be interpreted in so many ways.....

#196 Things With Wings

I've made a fairly quick & simple Cristmas card, using the fab little image

Digi 7504 Christmas Angel 

I love this little lady! I've used my Sakura Glitter pens to colour up parts of the image,

then added a bit of shading with a promarker.

The DP is Papermania & I've added embossed panels.

 (swiss dots & snow flakes)

Each layer is popped up on foam tape.

The ribbon is from Lidl. I cut the image out with a 

Spellbinders Oval die & inked with a liquid chalk inkpad.

The colour looks a bit off but it's actually much closer to the DP irl.

A few tiny gems finish off the corners.

I hope you can play along this week in our challenge

Twinkle Brr.......

Good Morning all!

It's time for another GDT post for Scribbles Designs

Here's the card I made!

I've used the cute little image #228 Twinkle Brr 

and the sentiment tickets #109 Let It Snow Quote 
I used my Promarkers to colour up the image & Sakura Glaze & Glitter
pens for the little lights. I inked the edges with a liquid chalk ink pad.

The layout for my card is based on the sketch 



from Stick it Down

The papers are from my stash.

I used foam pads to pop up one end of each sentiment ticket,

 for a bit of dimension. I also popped the layered snowflakes 

up on foam pads too, then aded a little gem at the centre.

Thanks for looking!

I'm a sucker for snowmen & I had to get started on my Christmas cards, 

so, I made a little White On White Christmas card using -

 #243 Snow Kisses and 

 #042 Seasons Greetings Quote.

The card base is 6"x6" Centura Pearl cardstock & I've used this 

for all of the elements. The image was coloured using Promarkers, 

then cut using a spellbinders circle die.

I added four embossed panels,which were popped up on foam pads for dimension.

I placed a memory box die cut, behind the image, & added a

 Marianne Creatables die cut snowflake,

To finish the card off, I threaded some sheer ribbon through the sentiment 

which was die cut with a spellbinders die.

Thanks for stopping by today!

I hope you like my little card! Don't forget to check out the challenge

Non-Traditional Christmas Colours

Good morning all!

It's Monday again, time is flying by!

It's time for the new challenge at Eureka Stamps

Where this week, the theme is

#171 Non Traditional Christmas Colours

Here's my card

I used the sweet little image, Digi 17502  Snowy Church Circle.

I used a hot pink A6 base card & printed the image and sentiment

onto some super smooth card-stock. I coloured the sky with a Flexmarker in 

Blue Grey & used my Sakura Glaze Pen to colour the rest.

I added some touches of glitter using my Sakura Clear Star pen.

The button threaded with twine was sitting at the side & cried out

to be added to my project, so I did just that!

So there you have it, a CAS Christmas Card in Non-Traditional Colours.

You can see a little of the sparkle in this side view!

Hope you like it & I hope you can play along in the challenge!

Sorry my photos aren't the best but the weather was miserable & I just

didn't have time to wait for it to clear!

Christmas Is Coming

Good morning all!

It'sMonday again!!!

The weeks are zipping by & I still haven't got myself as organised as I should 

be for Christmas this year! However, I'm beginning to clear my feet & feel 

like I'm getting there slowly!

 "Christmas is coming"

is this weeks theme for the challenge over at Eureka Stamps!

Here's my little card!

Have you got your tree up yet?
I'm putting it off for as long as possible because I fear my kitties
may well be just like the image I have used this week

Digi 22304 Kitty In Lights
Isn't he just the cutest?
I love that cheeky grin on his face!
I've used a 6x6 inch base card. I decided to go with yellow,
one of the colours I picked out of the background paper.
I used my Sakura Glaze pens to colour the lights & a
Light Fawn Flexmarker, to colour up the kitty!

A bit of matting & layering & a border punched with a Martha Stewart punch.

The sentiment was simply done on my PC.

The little sparkly bow just landed there when I was messing about,

so I decided just to add it where it was!

Thanks for popping in to look at my little card today!

I hope you like it!

Christmas Sparkle

Hello everyone, two posts from me today!

A while back, I was lucky enough to win a challenge at UnstampaBelles.

Part of my prize was an invitation to be GDT with them for a month.

The theme for the December challenge is

"Sparkle & Make Us Smile"

You can create something all sparkly for Christmas, not necessarily a card 

We all end up with glitter all over us and the creative space anyway at this time of the year

so go for it!

The twist is to make us (the readers) smile!

This can be with your project or with your post about that project!

Prize:

A $20 Aust. Gift Voucher to an on-line shop of choice

(must be able to issue gift vouchers)

Here's my card!

I used a white 6"x6" base for my card.

I cut some glittered card stock using a Lawn Fawn Die,

silver for the snowscape & blue for the night sky.

I added a die cut, white glittery circle, cut with a spellbinders circle die

for a moon, then added some EK Success punched white glittery reindeer.

The snowflakes are punched, and the sentiment is a glittery peel off. 

I also gave my lead reindeer a red gem nose!

This card lurked about in my head for a while & it was good to get it made up

 I'm glad to say I was happy with the results!

Thanks for popping over, I hope you like my card!

I hope you'll play in the challenge too!

Just remember not to use a stamp, rubber or digi!

Good Morning all!

This week is just whizzing by!

I've been getting ready for a little crafty sale so have been caught up making bits & pieces

as well as the usual stuff. Been busy at work too, so I'll be glad 

when the weekend is here!

Anyhoo, here's the card I have to share today!

This is an 8"x8" square base with decoupage, sentiment & design paper from 

The Gift Of Christmas CD Rom by La Pashe.

These are great to cut out & make up & there is also a smaller image on the

sheet, which I used to make a little card, but could be used for a matching gift tag etc!

Not too much to say about this one really, 

A doily, some matting & layering, a double ribbon bow & a little jingle bell hey presto!

You could add some glitter to jazz it up but I love it just as it is!

A little side view which I hoped would show the dimenson of the decoupage

but I'm not sure it does!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like my card.

Here's my DT card.

The image I have used is ChristmasAngel Digi 7504

My card is  6x6 inch Linen embossed cardstock.

I added a matt of pearlised gold card from my stash & a layer of 

holly printed vellum also from my stash (it's been there forever).

The image was coloured with my Sakura pens & some promarkers for shading.

I used a spellbinders circle die to cut out the image & a scalloped circle for the gold

mat behind. The ribbon is from my stash, the Noel is a diecut & the snowflakes are punched 

using an Xcut punch. The added gems were also from my stash.

A little side view to show the glitter & shine from the Sakura pens.

Hi everyone, happy Thursday!

It's been a busy week. I had intended to share this card 

sooner but hey ho, here we are now!

This gorgeous snowman is from

The Gift Of Christmas CD Rom by La Pashe

I love snowmen & this little guy has to be one of my fave's

I wonder what he's singing? I'm guessing it's "The Holly & The Ivy"

The papers are from the CD too.

The base card is 8"x8" square. I added a doily, some red & white ribbon,

 a big green button, a few die cut & punched snowflakes & some 

little red gems to embellish.

The decoupage is easy to cut out & layer up.

A little side view to show the dimension.

I like to keep these cards fairly simple as the images speak for themselves

& have lots of interesting little details to them!
