Anything Goes

Hello everyone. Hope you are enjoying the Summer and spending lots of time near the beach. I am :) and trying to make the most of it this year since from next year I am going to have to increase my working hours to full time boo hoo .. no no like :( .. kids grown up they said so you can go back to full time :( Awww no no like. Yes I'm moaning :( ... But all good things come to an end and so, as I was saying, I am trying to make the most of it this year and so I've been going to the pool about three or four times a week since Summer started and I'm also getting a nice suntan too :) I went yesterday after work and plan to go on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of course he he :P 

Anyway, so onto my DT card for this week for the new challenge that started today at

I ♥ Promarkers.

The theme for this week an easy

ANYTHING GOES

For my card this week I decided to use one of my lovely Kraftin Kimmie stamps which I hadn't been using for some time.. I forgot how cute they were. I have of course colored it with my promarkers and themed it up with a lovely DP from a Papermania paper pack.

We are this week sponsored by Sherri Baldy and the winner gets 3 digis.

Fairies

Hello good morning everyone. It's back to work today and as I was saying yesterday, today I have two posts as well... but this, just for the month of May only.. of course wouldn't mind if it were for more than one month he he .. check out my next post and you'll see why :D..

So first up is my DT card for the new challenge at

I ♥ Promarkers

The theme for this week is

FAIRIES

Such a fun and easy theme I think, loved it and was also a great opportunity for me to use again this cheeky fairy from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. I had so much fun colouring her with my promarkers and then I added stickles to finish her off. 

For my card today I used a gorgeous hearts border die from Crafty Sentiments, LOTV sentiment, Martha Stewart leaf punch, magazine freebie papers and a Marianne Creatables die behind the fairy. Can you see all the texture on this? and on the leaves and papers as well? Check out my TIP here to see how I did it!! .. and don't forget to leave me a comment if you like my tip. Thank you :D

Clarabelle

I had quite a busy day yesterday.. all morning I was in Valletta with my older son as he wanted to buy some clothes with the money we gave him for his birthday. In between a quarrel or two, because he liked something and I didn't and because he wanted to buy an expensive Fred Perry PLAIN T-Shirt with just the small logo on one side, that was a mum and son day out together! 

.. In the afternoon then I was busy preparing to welcome some of his friends who he was bringing over for his birthday. I really was so tired in the end, wish hubby hadn't a sleep-over for the altar boys as he would have helped out so much! Luckily all turned out well, even though we forgot the CAKE! I so proceeded to make one, while they were watching a film... without the right ingredients ... and I errrrm made it with normal flour instead of self-raising flour .. and no baking powder, as didn't have as well!!! Obviously it didn't come out so right !! .. Still they ate it he he

And guess what, he even received a handmade card, made by the little sister of one of his friends. My son obviously didn't notice .. but I did and I was so happy about this that I quickly prepared some goodies for her yay :)

ooops I'm really talking too much today .. 

So onto my card now. I am using again one of my Kraftin Kimmie stamps for my card today. This time it is Clarabelle.. so fairy cute. 

Quite a simple card but I really loved how it turned out with all the focus on Clarabelle and her lovely wings, antennas and pretty leg curled up. 

The paper that I used today is from a gorgeous Me To You paper pack, the corner stamp is from Lili of the Valley, and birthday stamp is from a Hero Arts stamp set. Glittered flowers from stash

A New Auntie

So I'm back again with another post today and this time my card I made for a New Auntie. First time doing a card for a new auntie, so I really wasn't sure what to do, but finally I decided on one of my favourite Kraftin Kimmie stamps, Diana New Mama ... with a few changes.... 

.. in fact, Diana has a bow on her hair and also some towels near her legs and I thought that if I removed these, she would look more like an auntie than a mummy. What do you think? 

The papers that I used were a magazine freebie, sentiment computer generated, colored Diana with my promarkers, some distressing and faux stitching today and card candy and a bow to finish it off.
