GOTTA USE A DIGI.

Time's flown by again and it's already time for another challenge over at I ♥ PROMARKERS. This week is #119 and you've got to use a digi image. Our sponsor is the fabulous DIGI DOODLE SHOP with a $10 spend in the online store to our winner.

I did something not as shocking as last weeks, lol. My image, from DDS of course, is Little Sweeper and my papers are Prima Almanac. I've spent the last 5/6 days in the garden so had to rush this card yesterday afternoon to get it to the challenge blog in time. Not a flower or ribbon in sight...arghhhh!!!! I'll be using this as a birthday card but it could also maybe be a new home card? What do you think? A new broom sweeping clean and all that.

Time for another challenge over at I ♥ PROMARKERS and this week (#118) it's to use die cuts. No biggie there eh? I reckon we all use them all the time now. We're sponsored this week by DIE CUT DREAMS and the prize is a lovely selection of die cuts.

So, maybe I'm a bit off beam with this one, but when I saw this image over at Redonkulous, I just couldn't resist him. It is sooooooo my sense of humour, lol. I made it for a friends birthday on Monday and he cracked up when he opened it. I knew he'd like it..tee hee!


The tree is a Marianne D die and the border is done with a couple of Edgeabilitity dies. Papers are MME Lost & Found 'Breeze'.

My Little Book of Secrets..

I'm doing yet another amazing online workshop with ANDY SKINNER (my 3rd) called THE BOOK OF SECRETS. I've completed my first 'book' and I am sooooooooo pleased at how it turned out. You all really should sign up for some of his classes..they're brilliant.

We started with this blank box. I got mine from The Craft Barn. I also got my Tando Creative chipboard elements from there (cogs, compass...) Stamps used are by Andy Skinner.










And this is the back which is much plainer.


I'm off to get my stuff out and do another one now!! lol.

HANDBAGS????.

A year or so ago, I came across some instructions for making all sorts of lovely things. I had forgotten all about them although I had made some things up. I'm sure I've never shared them on my blog, so I thought that now, I would.

This first one used 'Blue Awning' papers by K & Co. I love these papers, they were my fave at the time and I really didn't want to cut my pad up, lol. Still, no point in buying papers just to look at is there? :o)






I can't remember what paper I used on this next one, but it had a definite vintage feel to it, so I thought it was perfect.



Anyway, I hope you like them and big thanks to Becky Roberts.

PIN IT UP!

Wooohooo!! I'm back. Missing from blogger again for a couple of weeks as I've been to Cyprus to visit my daughter. Anyway, it's challenge #116 at I LOVE PROMARKERS and the theme is to use hat pins and/or a charm. Our sponsor is our blog boss Karen and she is offering a selection of her pins to the winner. All the DT used hat pins made by Karen.
For my card I chose this fabulous image from Teddy Bo. I really enjoyed colouring her in and I added all sorts of layers to my card. It's actually quite different from my normal style, but much more the style that I'd like to do (when doing cute that is, lol).

I used an Edgeability die to cut round the image, Martha Stewart border punches and punch around the page, blossoms from WOC and Marianne, 2 square doilies, Marianne dies, ribbons, pearls and some gorgeous net/grid type stuff that I recently bought. My papers are from the Cosmo Cricket 'Delovely' pad and finally, the hat pins.
