Lots Of Layers

Good morning all

It's time to play in a brand new challenge over at

Crafting For All Seasons

where our theme this fortnight is "Lot's Of Layers"

Here's what I made

I've used my own image this time as I was itching to colour this little beauty up!

She is "Jumper" from Saturated Canary. 

Our sponsor this time is

Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet

I used the sketch from Sketchy Colours

for the layout of my card.

Here's a closer look at my image

I coloured her up with Promarkers & flexmakers.

Ain't she sweet!

The sentiment is by Craftwork Cards

I also added a seam binding, triple bow, some tiny little pearls from Meiflower

& a little Hope awareness ribbon charm. 

I haven't done anything with the inside of this card yet! 

Not sure if I'll decorate it inside or add an insert with a nice verse!

I hope you can join us to play in this challenge!

Pop on over & see what the rest of the DT have made to inspire you!

Faithful Friends at OLL

Good Morning all!

There's a brand new challenge starting over at 

Oh La La Creations Challenge Blog

It's my turn to choose the theme this time & I've chosen

"Faithful Friends"

Feel free to interpret this as you will!

You don't have to use OLL images or papers but

 it does make us smile when you do!

If you haven't tried OLL designs yet, check out the shop for free samples!

Here's my creation!

I've used this cute little Westie & papers from the

Faithful friends CD, available in the Ooh La La Creations shop

Isn't he adorable!

The CS I have used is from Southfield Stationers.

I used an EK Success punch for the borders. The ribbon is recycled from

some clothing. My friends all used to chop these off & throw them away,

now they collect them for me & I use them on cards I make for charities

which helps to keep the costs down!

The buttons are from my stash & the sentiment is by Craftwork Cards.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you like my card & I hope 

you can join in with the challenge if you need some inspiration,

pop over & see what the rest of the talented DT have created!

Spring Lambs

Good morning all!

It's Thursday so it's time for me to share a Just Inklined card with you!

Here's what I made this time!

This image is Lambs. 

Such a sweet image for any occasion, especially at this time of year!

The person this card is for is currently helping a friend out with lambing!

As this card is destined for a man, I wanted to keep it clen & simple 

& give it a rustic feel! I used Kraft card for the base,

I did a bit of shading with my flexmarkers, cut out with an oval nestie,

then inked with Vintage Linen & Frayed Burlap

distress inks whilst still in the die!

I added a piece of white card & a little bit of Jute (Burlap) Tie Strap which  was

 originally intended for garden use but I thought it was perfect for my card!

The buttons were in my stash & were recycled from an old jumper of hubby's

The sentiment is a LOTV stamp.

Thanks for popping in, I hope you enjoyed your visit!

Live Laugh Love Breathe

Good morning lovely blog readers!

The card I have to share with you is one I made for a bride to be!
The lady in question is one of the girls I work with who is getting
married on the lovely island of Majorca in June.
As the wedding as abroad, and not everyone can attend,

we had a works lunch out in advance to wish her luck for her big day.

The image I have used is a specail image called 

 Breathe from Saturated Canary.

I don't think this one is available in the shop.

I love Krista's images & I was nervous about colouring this one

however, I am happy with the result I achieved.

I still need to work on the hair a bit though!

I kept it fairly simple with only the words, which were mounted on foam pads,

for embellishments.

A closer look at the image

Here you can see the inside of the card.

As there were a lot of people who wanted to write good luck

messages in the card, I added two panels inside.

Glad to say the bride to be was delighted with her card

& all of the messages written inside it!

Good morning lovely blog readers!

Another Saturday & another card to share!

This one was made using the Flippin’ Families CD Rom from La Pashe

The card base is a Square label Flip Card,

also available on the La Pashe website

I love the humour of these cards, all normal on the front & then, 

disaster strikes on the inside in the form of playful kitties!

I added some little balls of wool & a pair of cocktail stick knitting pins!

The papers & sentiment are also from the CD Rom.
If you don't fancy the CD Rom, you can find some pre printed or
instant download sheets on the website too!

Thanks for popping in, I do hope you like my card!

Cherry Blossom Pink

Good Morning all!

Here I am with this weeks Just Inklined card!

This time, I have a CAS offering!

The image I have used is Cherry Blossom

A perfect image for Spring time!

It's so versatile, I've used it often  for many different occasions 

& coloured it up in many different hues!

This one was made for someone in hospital!

Here's a closer look at the image!

Coloured up with a mix of flexmarkers & promarkers 

then matted onto some pink CS which actally matches better then it looks

in the photo! The Papers I have used are from the First Edition,

 Bird Cage stack! I love these papers!

I used a Tonic Border Punch for the matt.

You can see from this little side view that I've decorated the inside of the card too!

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

Good morning all! 

Happy hump day! Not long now till the weekend!

I'm so looking forward to Easter break & four days off in a row!

It's time for  a brand new challenge over at

Crafting For All Seasons

Where the theme this time is Ribbon & Lace!

Here's what I created!

A little primitave style Christmas card using a sponsor image 

from Limited Runs Digital Stamps called

  Catching A Snowflake

The base is Kraft card& the paper I have used is from my stash.

Here's a closer look at the image!

I coloured her up in pastel pinks with a mix of Promarkers & flexmarkers

The Snowflake ribbon is from Lidl & is from last year, if not

the year before! The lace is from my local haberdashers's bargain basket.

(I do love a bargain!)

Such a sweet image. I cut her out with a nestie label die.

I ran a running stitch along the ribbon & the lace then pulled them up

to make this little rosette!

The sentiment is done on the pc.

As the card is a bit rough on the inside, I'll add a simple paper insert.

Thanks for stopping by & I hope you can play in the new challenge.
