Dancing Queen

Hi all,

Here I am again, with this weeks DT card for the challenge over at 

QKR Stampede

where the challenge is always Anything Goes.

For my card this week, I've used the image

Dancing Cow Digi #15612

She's such a dancing queen don't you think?

I sang that song all the while I was making this card! Lol

I coloured the image with my Promarkers as usual.

I die cut the image, leaving the tail out of the die.

The papers are from my stash.

I did the sentiment on my PC & die cut then trimmed.

I hope you can play along in the challenge, which is always anything goes.
Each week, we select two winners  1 using QKR Stampede or Eureka Stamps image and 

1 using any image!

I'd like to add my card to the following challenges:

Mouse Knight Birthday

It's time for this weeks DT card for the challenge over at 

QKR Stampede

where the challenge is always Anything Goes

This week, I've made a Birthday Card using the wonderful
Mouse Knight Digital Stamp Digi1603

I coloured the image using promarkers, I just delved in to my box & pulled
out a few colours that I liked then found some papers to match!
The button has been in my stash for a while & I thought
it went perfectly with the image so had to add it!
I made the sentiment on the PC!

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

A Bear-y Merry Christmas

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.

Love Cats 1st Anniversary Card

Hi everyone,

Here I am with my card for the QKR Stampede Challenge DT this week!

Some of you may have had a sneak preview as this posted by accident earlier 

than it should have! Naughty blogger! 

Last year we moved house and we were

lucky enough to be invited us to a wedding by our new neighbours.

We had the most amazing time & it was great getting to know everyone.

Of course, we couldn't let the happy couples 

1st Wedding Anniversary 

go by without sending our wishes, so I made this little card!

The image used is 

Lovecats Digital Stamp ES-digi8208

The sentiment is

Happy Anniversary Digital Stamp ES-digi9004.

I coloured the image with my promarkers, die cut it then added some 
Distress Oxide while it was still in the die.

The papers I've used have been in my stash for a long time 
but I have been very sparing with them.
Don't you just hate it when the things that you love run out!

To create the fishtails, I used the corner of a square punch.

Hope you like my little card & I hope you can play along with us this week!

Football Crazy!

Good Morning everyone! 

It's Monday once again & time for this weeks challenge over at

Eureka Stamps, where the theme is

#158 Fall Sports - Football/Soccer/Cheerleader

The cute little image I have used is

Digi 14203 Soccer Boy

(It gets a bit confusing, as we call Soccer football in the UK! Lol)

I used a 6"x6" square base in grass green.

The papers are by Papermania & I've had them forever.

I coloured the image with my promarkers, then cut out 

with an X-cut square die. 

I inked around the edges with a Colour Q 

liquid chalk ink pad, while the image was still in the die.

The sentiment was printed, trimmed & then inked.

The photo corners are from a Sports themed scrapbooking set 

that I found in a bargain bin at a craft show.

 I do love a bargain, don't you?

The die cut trophy is from a blog candy that I won years ago.

The little die cut fishtail was in my scrapbox,. 

Thanks so much for popping in today, I hope you like my card &

Good Morning all,

I'm back with another card today!

For those of you who asked, my first day back at work wasn't too traumatic

I actually enjoyed it if I'm honest (don't tell the boss though) Lol.

Here's the DT inspiration card I made for this month's challenge

 Lace & Pearls 

over at The Crafting Cafe on Facebook.

Just For Fun & we welcome crafters of all levels.

I used papers from my scrap box & a decoupaged image called 

Baby Bassinete from La Pashe 

which was left over from another project. 

The Double Decoupage download sheet came with both pink & blue images. 

Useful for twins or just to have a spare!

The lace is from my stash as is the pink satin ribbon & the pearls.

The little ticketdie I've used for the sentiment is from Tattered Lace.

Woo Hoo it's Sunday & that means it's time for another new challenge at
The Crafty Pad!

This week it's once again "The A Team's" chance to WoW you
with their wonderful creations!

The theme for this weeks challenge gives you the option of

#168 April Showers Bring May Flowers and/or  Sketch
We want to see those flowers in bloom on your papers,
your images or as embellishments on your creations!

Here's my card

The lovely Leesa gave us this great sketch to work with.

I rotated it a quarter turn & changed the shapes a little!

I used an A5 card blank as my base.

The design papers I have used are from one of the brand new 

digital paper sets at The Crafty Pad Designs!

Meadows Lane Delight

The image I have used is Penny Pamper!

She's just finished having her "April shower"! Lol

As you can see there are flowers on her shower cap, 

towel & the bathroom rug!

The pattern on the base layer of design paper resembles flowers &

the matt of the script design paper's wording is about flowers in full bloom

I've added some flowers that I made using Papermania paper flowers 

which I scrunched up, inked & then layered using brads as centres.

The image was printed onto some smooth card,

coloured using a mix of Promarkers & Flexmarkers, 

using Spring Colours to match with the papers

& rounded the corners with a punch 

The sentiment was created on my PC using a font called LMS Hippy Chick

which you can download for free from here, There are little

flowers on the letters if you look closely!

I also added some sheer ribbon, with a double bow, a heart shaped pearl stick pin 

& some Green Papermania Mosaic gems to further embellish my card!

I hope you like it!

Now it's time to pop on over to  The Crafty Pad to check out the 

fabulous work by the ladies of Team A!
