Be Naughty!

Morning Folks!

This is the last post I'll be writing as a member of the SPARKLES CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE  Design team :-( 

There just aren't enough hours in the day to do all the things I'd like to lately! I have enjoyed my Sparkles time and it has really helped me to be more organized when December arrives!

The new theme for this month is a good one:

MAKE US LAUGH

Bugaboo images and their sassy sentiments often make me chuckle, so here is my card using Stella Christmas Sled. I think we all know someone like Stella!

 Love the sour expression!

The background paper is from The Works, tree die is by Die'sire and the snow scene is just ripped paper with sparkles and glamour dust added along the edges.

It's all about three!

Morning Folks!

This week, the new challenge at Passion for Promarkers is to 

USE 3 of SOMETHING 

Here's my card using 3 different papers and 3 pearls along with an image from our sponsor Bugaboo.

 This cutie is called Tall Flower Bear:

Tropical Holiday

Morning Folks!

Our new theme over at Sparkles Monthly Challenges is 

TROPICAL VACATION

Now of course I'd love to be showing you a beautiful scrapbook page of a gorgeous white sandy beach that I have wandered along, but sadly that's still on my bucket list!!

Instead, here's my bright and cheery card using 'Pig Vacation' from Bugaboo and a very old piece of card from Kanban called Funky Daisy:

A flowery Elephant

Morning Folks!

This week, the new challenge at Passion for Promarkers is nice and easy:

FLOWERS

Here's my card using one of my favourite Bugaboo stamps called Spring Elephant 1 which you can find here. 

 I used some old LOTV papers from their Bowties and Bonnets collection. I'm getting reluctant to cut into my LOTV papers that I have left because I know they are sadly no longer available, which is silly really because I probably have enough papers to last me for the next decade!

I added some flowers, ribbon and pearls from my stash and finished the card with a die cut sentiment fron Craftwork cards that I bought years ago at a craft show.

Lost balls!!

It's me again Folks!

Back as promised with my second card of the day - this one is for the new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where the theme is  

MASCULINE CARDS

Here's the card I made using a fab image from our sponsor Bugaboo called Gus Golf which you can find here. The hilarious sentiment is also included with the image. The diamond paper is very old - probably Dovecraft, it's been in my stash for years - I knew it would come in handy eventually!! I coloured the image to match the papers, cut it out with a square die from The Works, added a contrasting strip of paper and some card candi and that's it! I like making 'masculine' cards as I'm not great at lots of frilly finishing touches!!

 Gus looks like a real grumpy old man to me!!

Hello Again, 

I'm back again with my second DT post of the day! 

As it is the first of the month, we have a new challenge over at SPARKLES CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE , and the theme choosen by Lynne is:

REINDEER

Brace yourselves because my card is quite bright and bold! I've used a digi from Bugaboo, that I've had for years - I can't find the exact same image in the shop just now but there are some which are quite similar. I thought the bold image would work with this equally bold spotty paper from Dovecraft - Spots and Stripes Festive range. The wooden star was a RAK from a friend and the gold sentiment has been cut with a Xcut die.

Obviously this isn't just any reindeer - it has to be Rudolph complete with a shiny red nose! He's coloured with promarkers.

Morning Folks!

Hope you're all well ?

This week, the new challenge at Passion for Promarkers is 

ONLY GIRLS ALLOWED

so we are looking forward to seeing your girly projects.

I wasn't feeling in a pink and fluffy mood when I made this card, so this is my take on the challenge using a fabulous stamp from Bugaboo called  JJ-Housework - Cook. The sentiment is included with the image too - I think I need this sign in my kitchen! The papers are actually from an old Christmas pad called 'Daisy and Dandelion - A winter's tale'. The date on the front cover is 2009!! The enamel dots are a much nore recent purchase from The Works.

A Snowy Birdhouse

Morning Folks!

This week it's my turn to choose the new challenge theme over at Passion for Promarkers, I've gone for 

LET IT SNOW  

Not that I want to see the white stuff falling too soon, I just thought this would be a good theme for those making Christmas cards. I still have several to get finished, how about you? 

Here's my latest card using Snowman Bird House from our sponsors Bugaboo, isn't he sweet! Also had fun with an assortment of snowflake die cuts and the glamour dust!

I couldn't resist turning the little bird into a robin:
