Allsorts challenge #37

The current Allsorts challenge has a fab sketch to follow.  They are also running a DT call, so if you are interested check out all the details on their blog.   For my card I used a new digi image from the greeting farm called ‘rain’ and coloured her with my promarkers.  The dotty paper is imaginisce and the plain card is from the papermill shop.  I ran the yellow card through the cuttlebug using the swiss dots embossing folder.  The sentiment is elzybells and the adhesive stones are trimcraft.  The flowers were cut with my medium ek success retro flower punch and the buttons are from my stash.  I liked the clean and simple style of the sketch so pretty much left it as it was.  I hope you are having a good Wednesday, can’t believe how fast this week is going!!  Thanks for stopping by. 

A multi-challenge card!

Hello everyone, I hope you’ve had a wonderful Wednesday. Weather here has been a bit yucky again today. I had some car trouble yesterday morning – went out to go to work and had a flat tyre! Luckily hubby is working afternoons this week and he was in bed so fortunately I was able to leave my car for him to sort and take his to work. However it turned out to be a bit more serious than just a flat tyre – I hit a pot-hole on Saturday when we went to the cinema, a very large pot-hole and I had actually buckled my alloy wheel!!! How lucky was I ‘cos I used it for work yesterday. So now that I’m £190.00 worse off I have my car back – great timing ‘eh? I am actually thinking of speaking to the council and seeing if I can claim the money back (hubby went to take a photo of the pot-hole today but they have conveniently filled the hole in now). I’ll keep you posted on developments.

Anyway onto the reason you’ve visited me today :)

This card fits in with quite a few challenges this week:

Cute Card Thursday – they want cards for little boys

Quixotic Challenge – want to see a charm on your card

Simon Says Challenge – also want to see a charm

Paper Cutz Challenge – their theme is anything goes!

Allsorts Challenge – want to see buttons

La-La-Land Crafts Challenge - also want to see buttons

For my card I’ve used an adorable image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Thomas in pram’ (don’t miss out on the 20% off Christmas images currently running in the shop) and coloured him with promarkers. The gorgeous paper is imaginisce and the plain card is from the papermill shop. I used my MS doily lace punch for the decorative edge and the ribbon is dovecraft. The charm and buttons are from my stash. I printed the birth announcement details on the pc. I love making baby cards and I have another baby boy one to make tonight *yay*. Thanks for stopping by today. Don’t forget to come back tomorrow to see my card for the new susie’s sassy challenge.

CRAFT #22/Allsorts #24/OSCC #52

Hello and happy Saturday to you all, it’s been a day for crafting today as the weather has been wet and very windy here.  My card today fits in with 3 challenges – the C.R.A.F.T challenge is ‘anniversary’, the allsorts challenge is ‘furry friends’ and the one stop craft challenge is ‘celebration’.  I stamped the PB image called ‘snuggle’ and coloured it with my promarkers.  I coloured the hearts in with a sakura gelly roll pen so that they are glittery.  The shimmery paper is DCWV from the luxury stack and the edges were cut with my martha stewart doily lace punch (available from dies to die for).  The plain cs is also DCWV and I used my circle nesties to cut out the image.  The hearts were cut out with punches.  The adhesive shimmery dots are PM and the sentiment was created on the pc.  The ribbon is from my stash.  This card was ordered by a friend of my hubby’s for his wife and it is A5 in size.  Thanks for stopping by today.

4 in 1 challenge card!

Wow I haven’t done this for a while – my card fits in with 4 challenges woohoo!  The pollycraft challenge is asking for ‘furry friends (animals)’, the pile it on challenge is ‘birthday’, the ABC challenge is ‘d for die-cuts’ and the allsorts challenge is ‘something for the boys’.  I used my new WOJ image called ‘bruno bear with cupcake’ and coloured him with my promarkers.  The papers are all DCWV from ‘the stack’ and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The punched edge was done with my martha stewart embossed zigzag punch.  The sentiment was created on the pc and cut out with SU oval punches.  The adhesive stones are PM. 

The weather here has been glorious today and it’s supposed to be nice for 10 days (believe that when it happens) – I hope it’s been nice with you too.  My boys are now back into the swing of being in school and hating every minute of it haha!  My eldest son is now beginning his final year before his GCSE’s and I hope he will knuckle down to hard work, although he did really well this year and got a C in maths and a B in science – not too bad for a year early. 

Thanks for stopping by today.
