My son’s birthday card

Good morning everyone.  As I don’t have a passion for promarkers challenge card for you today (as our challenge runs for two weeks) I thought I would share a card I made for my son’s birthday, which was Sunday – I can’t believe my baby is 14 years old!!!!!  This is the card that his brother gave to him.  Actually this card could fit the challenge over at PFP as the digi image is new and all the papers are very old lol!  The image is so cool and its from Lori Boyd Designs – her images are so much fun and there is something for everyone.  Here is my card:

The cool dudes hairstyle is something similar to my sons but that’s where the similarity ends.  He is not at all sporty or outdoorsy – he just lives for his x-box, like most kids his age. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Cupcake craft challenge #118 – DT card

** THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY **

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MY STAMP WITH FUN DT CARD

Hello again, I’m back with my DT card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  This week our theme has been set by the lovely Kathrin and she has chosen “light it up” i.e. she wants to see a candle somewhere on your project.  I did toy with the idea of decorating a real candle but then came across this really cute image from Heather Ellis and so decided to make an easel card instead.  Here is my card:

Sorry there are so many pics but easel cards are so difficult to photograph aren’t they (especially for me with my useless photography skills lol).  This is actually a dinky 4 x 4 card but it looks so cute IRL. 

Our sponsor this week is the character cafe and one lucky winner will receive a $10.00 voucher to spend in their online store. 

We also have our monthly cupcake madness prize and it’s the last chance for November to be in with a chance to win the $9.00 voucher courtesy of some odd girl.  If you’ve entered two or more challenges this month you will be entered in the draw to win the voucher. 

The rest of the design team have created gorgeous samples once again this week, please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for us.

I can also enter my card into the following challenges:

Stamp with fun #87 – DT project

Good morning everyone, I hope you have all been safe and warm this weekend as I think most of the country has seen some snow at some point.  We had quite a bit on Friday evening and it’s been so freezing cold that the pavements and side roads are like sheets of ice.  I am so relieved that I have a week off from work this week and don’t even have to try and venture out if I don’t want to *phew*.  Here is a picture taken Friday evening from my front door:

I’m back this morning with my DT project for the stamp with fun challenge.  Our theme this week is “advent” and you can interpret it however you like.  I was going to make one of those gorgeous little advent easel cards but unfortunately didn’t have a chance to get any matchboxes and ran out of time to make some.  I decided instead to make some sour cream containers as I thought they could be hung off the Christmas tree with a little treat inside and opened each day.   I actually didn’t use an image on my projects and only had to use my promarkers to colour the border around the sentiment (shock I know!):

 

 

The containers were actually made from the inners of toilet rolls (which I covered with patterned paper) and here is a picture to show you the “before”.

The rest of the design team have created amazing samples once again this week, so why not pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for us. 

I can also enter my projects into the following challenges:

The crazy challenge – staples (I stapled both ends of my containers)

The crafty pad challenge – snowflakes (my patterned paper has snowflakes on it)

A spoonfull of sugar challenge – anything goes

Creative card crew challenge – treat boxes and goodie bags

Papertake challenge – cut it out (I used my circle nesties)

Charisma cardz challenge #47 – DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you are all ok this morning…..I wonder how many of you are snowed in?  We haven’t seen any of the white stuff yet but it’s been forecast for the weekend and I don’t mind as I have a week off work next week *yay*.  I am here today to share my DT card for this week’s charisma cardz challenge.  We have a lovely, easy challenge this week, which has been set by Carol and she has chosen “one for the girls”, how fantastic is that?  I was inspired by the some odd girl challenge to try making a window card, which I’ve never done before…..so here is my card (sorry there are a few pics today):

I have used a gorgeous image from Some Odd Girl called “snowy Mae”.  I love their quirky images and they are just a dream to colour.  The card is quite simple and when I have time I will probably add a sentiment on the inside and cover the other white side with matching paper but I didn’t have chance to do it now.  I have also used my brand new Christmas ticket sentiment stamp set and matching die cut from Whimsy Stamps.  The delivery was super quick and the postage was very reasonable considering it had to come from USA.  I will definitely be ordering from there again. 

We have three brilliant sponsors this week – DigiStamp Boutique is offering one lucky winner 6 digis.

We also have Some Odd Girl sponsoring us and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digis of their choice.

 

Our third generous sponsor is Pizzazz Aplenty and they are offering one lucky winner this amazing prize:

 

Please check out the rest of the DT cards as they are all amazing (and totally girlie) as always.  We really appreciate all your lovely comments that you leave for us.
