He's a winner


Hello again my fellow bloggers. Back today with a card for the challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge. This week we had to follow a sketch by Carole .
I liked this sketch and I have used PB Soccer Boy 2460K. This stamp is a very useful one to have for boys birthdays.
DP is from my stash as are the word letters. Coloured with PM's. Message is from SU set and punched out with SU circle punch.
Thanks for visiting and leaving comments, I love to read them and visit in return.

Mother's Day



Hello again, I have done this card for the challenge over at Passion for Promarkers. We had a colour combo of Tulip Yellow and Baby Pink with the addition of some stitching on the card. I have used a digi image and unfortunately can't remember where I downloaded it from. If someone knows can you please let me know so I can credit the company. I have a base card of Bazzill and the mount is Bazzill polka dot. I did this parchment double frame and stitched it together with gold thread. I cut the image out with a craft knife so I could mount it without losing too much of my parchment backing. The vase has a patterned cut out over it to make it look more authentic. But I'm not sure it shows that well in the picture. Fairly simple card but time consuming. Thanks for visiting me and leaving comments. I read all of them and enjoy returning the favour.

Two challenges in one


Start of a new week and I hope you all had a great weekend. Thanks for visiting my blog. This card is for two challenges. It is for the Anyone for anya challenge and the lili of the valley challenge. I have used the fabulous sketch by Domi . I loved this sketch and I am putting this one in my folder. Thanks Domi. Haven't got any LOTV stamps yet but hope to soon.
The anya challenge was for something not usually done and this card has been coloured with the new Promarkers I bought last week. Just got 10 of them but I love these. I find them easier to control than the copics. Need lessons in blending! Also this Anya stamp is a new one. Papers are SU flowers and buttons from stash. Ribbon from a local shop who sells cake crafting goodies. Got my sewing machine out and stitched around the edge. Ovals cut with Xcut frames. Pearls are SU from pretties kit.
Hope you enjoyed your visit to my blog and I love to read any comments that are left.

Love


Morning blog readers. Hope you all had a good weekend. I have been busy shopping around for new bathroom fixtures and fittings. Wow what a minefield that is. Any way on to todays card for the challenge at Just Magnolia
I loved doing this card. Used my new paper roses and some lovely ribbon that I have had a long time but never used. Image coloured with Distress Inks and cut out with Nestabilities die. Mat corners are a punch from X cut. Sentiment is an old SU one and I used The scallop punch to mat this on. Scallop edge is SU also as is the DP.
Love to read your comments and thanks for visiting.

Movin On


Good Evening people, this card is for the Sir Stampalot challenge and blog hop at Floral Fantasies Super prizes to be won and you have to be in it to win it. I have used my Cricut to cut out the little houses with BG paper and the background paper is from Studio called Spiral Bound. All the letters were cut with QK alphabet on my hand held tool. The moving aspect is the key hanging on the chain. This was the best I could come up with. It was fun to do. You still have time to enter this fun challenge.
Thanks to all who visit and leave me comments. I really do appreciate you taking the time to do this.
