I {heart} Maurice

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well and had a good start to the week. We had a very successful day at the Carboot sale on Sunday but I was exhausted tired yesterday! All the Sun and fresh air made me very tired! I have a card to share with you today which I made using an older Pollycraft image of my favourite Maurice. The card is for my Best Friend's Dad who is retiring at the end of this month.

 I used Echo Park papers from the 'Note to Self' 6x6 pad and added some Glitz Designs stickers and a gorgeous red ribbon from Hobbycraft.

The little tab is punched with a Stampin' up punch and I coloured Maurice in with a mixture of Promarkers, Flexmarkes and Graph'it markers. Doesn't he look fab in his funky red shirt! I finished with a stick on pearl and a little wooden button. I hope you have a good Tuesday!

Daddy cool!

Morning Everyone! I have a very bright card to share with you today which I made using my favourite Maurice from Pollycraft. Maurice is celebrating his birthday so I coloured him in to match the lovely bright colours in these My Mind's Eye papers.

I kept the layout simple and layered up some papers and sewed around the edges before adding them to a kraft card base before popping Maurice on top with some foam pads. The sentiment I used is by Pink Petticoat and I added a Prima pearl as a finishing touch.
Have a great Tuesday!

Pollycraft Monday Challenge - Three circles

Morning! Hope you had a good weekend. It's Monday already and time for a new Pollycraft Challenge. Joanne has chosen our theme and she would like to see 'Three Circles' on your projects this week.
I have used the gorgeous Maurice for my card with my favourite My Mind's Eye Papers. I used some distress ink to frame the image before I coloured it with Promarkers and then set it into a Polaroid style frame cut from Kraft card which I had stamped with a sentiment.


I sewed some patterned papers to a square of Kraft card for the card base and then added three circles cut from scraps of papers. I finished with some gorgeous buttons from Crafty Emma's store.
I hope you will be able to join us for this Challenge. We are sponsored this week by Quixotic Paperie and the winner will receive a 6x6 Prima paper pad.

Make sure you check out the Challenge blog for all the Challenge details and lots of inspiration from the DT.
Have a great Monday!

Pollycraft Monday Challenge - Black, White and one other colour

It's Monday already and time for a new Pollycraft Challenge! I had a very busy weekend and made 8 cards altogether which I will be sharing with you over the coming weeks and have nearly caught up with all my washing!


I think Maurice may have run out of clothes too...doesn't he look wonderful in his sexy pants!! I love Maurice and I was delighted when Paula gave us this new image to play with. For this week's Challenge, I used a lovely red Bobunny heart paper which matches Maurice's pants perfectly.
The sentiment is by Hero Arts and I added a heart button tied with some Ribbon Girl Twine as a finishing touch.
I hope you will be able to join us for this Challenge for the chance to win 3 digis from the Secret Crafter.

Make sure you check out the Challenge blog for lots of inspiration from the DT too!
Have a great Monday!

Maurice's Tee-riffic Christmas!

I have been very busy this weekend with loads of crafty and non crafty stuff. I am attending a course in London next week so I have been busy getting organised this weekend and trying to get things finished.

I made these little boxes of golf tees at silly o'clock on Saturday morning to sell at the Christmas Fayre on which I will be having a stall at the end of November. I made the boxes using a Sizzix die and Acetate and stapled them together with green staples.
I then tied the boxes together with ribbon and made a tag with Maurice dressed in his Christmas jumper. I created a little Christmassy scene for him to stand in with some Papermania Honey and Hugs paper and a little glitter then added him to a tag cut with a Nestabilities scalloped circle.
I hope you all had a good weekend. I am off to tidy up my Craft area now as it is a complete mess!

Pollycraft Monday Challenge

For this week's Pollycraft Monday Challenge I had lots of fun making a card with one of Paula's new digi stamp characters. Maurice is just so cool! I love his little fishing outfit and I can't wait to use the other Maurices in the range too.


This week we have a sketch theme. The sketch by Marit is just lovely and was so easy to follow.

I used the Smirk men's papers, some Making memories star paper, stick on ribbon, buttons and charm from my stash to make a quick card. It's so easy when you have such a great sketch as a starting point.

I coloured Maurice in with my Promarkers and added a little bit of glossy accents to his glasses and the fish.
Make sure you check out the Challenge blog for lots more lovely cards from the DT, I hope you will find time to join in with the Challenge, the prize this week is some yummy Pollycraft goodies!
Have a fab Monday!
