Easter Eggs!

Hi everyone. I made this card last night but I thought it would be nice to take a photo in daylight. It's great that I could take a photo before I went to work. The days are certainly getting longer now.

I'm going to enter a few challenges with this card :-

A Spoon Full of Sugar :- Easter.
House Mouse :- Sketch.
Susie's Sassy challenge :- Easter.
Charisma Cardz :- Something for the kids.
Stampin for the weekend :- Easter.
Magical Crafts :- Easter.
Daring Cardmakers :- Use a bird.

Image :- House Mouse.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

DP :- DCWV nana's nursery.

Sentiment :- computer generated.

Jewels and nesties.

I might be pushing it with the Daring Cardmakers challenge which is to use a bird. There are birds in two of the pieces of DP.

I'm quite tired now as I've been at work all day and that involves standing most of the time between 8.30 and 5.30. So I'll just post this and I realised in bed last night that I'd forgotten to do my Tesco order so I need to do that too.

What a Sweetie!

Good evening girls, I haven't had time to make anything today....yet but here is a card I made yesterday. I love this Tilda, she looks so sweet, doesn't she? I haven't been very good at entering the Just Magnolia challenge for a few weeks, which is a pity as I love my Tildas. So this week I have taken the chance to be early for a change.

Colouring:- Promarkers.

DP:- Basic Grey.

Sentiment:- Craftwork Cards.

Roses:- Prima.

Also used:- Nellie Snellen punch, Nesties, velvet ric rac ribbon, heart charm,heart shaped jewels, red Spica glitter gel pen on hearts on dress and glimmer mist.

Think I may have overdone the Glimmer Mist, it's everywhere lol!

The other challenges I am entering are:-

Sketch and Stash :- Sketch and I used some new flowers.

Colour Create :- Red, white, chocolate and pink with the addition of silver and hearts.

Cute Card Thursday :- In the name of love.

Susie's Sassy Challenge :- Hearts and flowers.

Daring Cardmakers :- Have a heart.

Stamp Something :- Cute.

Fussy and Fancy :- Dazzle us.

Paperplay :- Birthday card for someone special.

Pile it on :- Flowers.

I think that's the lot. Now will I try to make something or do my ironing? Decisions, decisions!

What a Cutie!

I made this card using the Whiff of Joy challenge sketch. This was really lovely and simple to use and you could dress it up as much as you like. I have kept it fairly simple as it is a boy card.

The DP is just some I found in a drawer! I coloured this cute Whiff of Joy image with Promarkers. Then I added some ribbon and buttons. I finished it off with some card candy and a sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

Apart from the Whiff of Joy challenge I am also going to enter the following challenges:-

Stamp Something :- Blue and white.

Susie's Sassy Challenge :- For a boy with the added option of an animal.

Daring Cardmakers :- At least one hole - I may be pushing my luck here but there are holes in the buttons!

I think that's it and I'll just go and post this now. See what you think and hope you can find time to leave me a wee comment. Probably be back tomorrow with another card. I'm off to see what I can do about my DT cards.

Just Magnolia 39.

I don't think this is exactly my finest hour. I decided to try the Just Magnolia challenge which is paper pleating. I followed the tutorial which was very clear but maybe it would have been better if I had practised instead of just jumping straight in. I have used red mainly which fits the Daring Cardmakers challenge. I followed the sketch from Stamp Something which I think goes well with the image. I think the card is "girly" enough for the Cupcake challenge and it is a birthday card which fits the Pink Elephant challenge.


I used Promarkers to colour the image, edge the image, sentiment and flowers and colour the card candy to match. The sentiment and card candy is from Craftwork Cards and the flowers are Hero Arts. The DP is DCWV, K& Co and the spotty piece is anonymous.

As I said probably not my best card and certainly not a good photo. I have just never got out of the bit all day. My husband had the day off today as his boss died of a massive brain haemorrhage yesterday and everyone was given the day off. He was the sort of boss who knew everyone who worked for him - and there were a lot of them. I think what bothers a lot of them was that he was a similar age to a lot of them! Since the roads around us are a bit better, still quite thick ice and a lot of water but an improvement, I went to buy a present for a friend's granddaughter and some more double sided tape! But I seemed to spend a lot of time just faffing about catching up on blogs before I thought maybe I could do a couple of Friday challenges. Tomorrow I need to shift myself and get my DT card done for Totally Gorjuss.

See you tomorrow, I should try to comment on some of the entries for the TG challenge now and maybe have a nice cup of coffee at the same time.

White Card

I made this quick little card the other evening and this is me just getting round to posting it. I thought I would make a plain card that would be quick to do and I could make a few of them and add to my stock of Christmas cards.

I have not used a sketch for this one as I just meant to do something plain but of course I couldn't help myself I had to add snowflakes, card candy, ribbon and buttons!

I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the front of my card. Then I used nesties to cut a scalloped circle and stamped this cute Penny Black image which I coloured with Promarkers. I added some card candy from Craftwork Cards. I added my favourite cuttlebug snowflake and Martha Stewart snowflake, both cut from glitter card. The sentiment is also from Craftwork Cards. I finished off by tying some white ribbon round the card and adding a button on top of the knot and another to the large snowflake. And that's it!

I think it will fit a few challenges.

Daring Cardmakers :- White with a hint of colour.
Allsorts :- Buttons.
Sophisticat challenge :- Snowflakes and sparkle.
The Pink Elephant :- Colour with your favourite medium - I used Promarkers.
Creative Card Crew :- Christmas.

I really quite like a white card with just embossing for texture and I think I might make a few more variations on this one.

I have another card to post so I will be back in a little while when I've taken a photo of it.
