Love Me Do!

Its time for another challenge to start over at 'My Time To Craft' & when I chose this theme I had a totally different idea in mind.....but I think I like my finished card better than the one that was in my head! 😀

Now for the next fortnight the theme is.......

LOVE ME DO!

So for those of you that need to make a last minute Valentine's Day card, this is the perfect challenge for you. But you can enter wedding day, anniversary....anything love related.

Sorry but this post is kinda picture heavy! I had so much fun making this card. Never made this type before, so its a first from me!!

Decided to make it look like he's jumping from one shroom to the other!

Fairy Wishes!!

Well I have made a card for me today, as I'm all up to date with my DT cards.... & I am off out to the craft show in Doncaster tomorrow. I was lucky to win Debs (thanks hun I am so excited) blog candy which included some fab stamps & two free tickets!!! So I am off up there & I am meeting up with Crafty Emma....I don't think Nige wants to be dragged around there lol!!

So onto todays creation, I have had this image for ages....

Jules (thanks hun x) gave me some of the stamped out images when we met up last year & this is only the second one I have used lol!

The main reason I haven't used these images, is the fact that some of the parts are so tiny & difficult to colour with Promarkers!! But now I've got these new fine nibs its not a problem & I have to say they really, really truly are fantastic!

 I have got a few stamps that I have never been able to colour up, but now I can! So hopefully over the next few weeks I will get them out!!
