Colour create challenge #35/Pile it on challenge #29/ABC challenge

Hello and welcome to a snowy and icy South Wales.  Our street is completely “off limits” yet again as no gritters have been through.  I’m back to getting the bus to work again today, although I did take an annual leave day yesterday and stayed tucked up nice and warm at home!  The kids went back to school for half a day on Tuesday but have been off since (unfortunately they are praying for more snow lol)! 

My card today is for the colour create challenge which is ‘lemon and lime’, pile it on challenge #29 which is ‘anything digital’ and the ABC challenge which is ‘L for layering’.  I used a cute digi image by soft pencil called ‘I’ll keep you safe Michu’ and I coloured it with my promarkers.  The gingham paper is from my stash, the dotty paper is a magazine freebie and the plain card is from the papermill shop.  The sentiment was created on the pc and the adhesive pearls are kanban.  The ribbon and flower charm are from my stash.  I created the decorative edge with my MS simple scallop punch. 

I know many of you have had an excessive amount of snow, it all looks so pretty until you have to go out and about in it!  Unfortunately I don’t think it’s going to clear as quickly as it came.  I hope you are all keeping safe and warm wherever you are.  Thanks for stopping by. 

A card for a few challenges!

Hello and happy Wednesday to you all.  Well another week is flying by isn’t it.  I may have to go to extreme measures and buy some Christmas cards this year (OMG) but I’ve only made a fraction of what I need so needs must!! 

Onto my card, which I’m entering into the following challenges:

Cute card Thursday – swirly girly

La-la land crafts challenge – pink and green

Cute Daisy May challenge – twinkle twinkle (sparkle, bling etc)

Pile it on challenge – tinsel town (again glitter, bling etc)

For my card I used an image that was a RAK and coloured it with my promarkers.  The papers are all DCWV from the nana’s nursery (girl) stack and the decorative edge was cut with my MS doily punch.  I used my circle nesties to cut out the images and the flowers are cut with my ek success small retro flower punch.  The sentiment is craftwork cards and the paper behind was cut out with my SU oval punches.  The adhesive stones are PM.  It’s difficult to tell in the photo but the paper has glitter all over it – gorgeous IRL.  Thanks for stopping by today.

A 3 in 1 card!

Hi everyone, I hope you’ve all had a good week and thank goodness it’s now the weekend!!  My card today fits in with 3 challenges – pile it on challenge – thank you, simon says stamp challenge – give thanks, la-la’s weekly wednesday challenge – pink.  The image is by elzybells and is coloured with my promarkers (I also added stickles to the bees trail, although it is difficult to see in the pic).  The papers are making memories from the ‘lauren’ paper pad and the sentiment is SU from the sincere salutations stamp set.  The flower I made by punching two large ek success retro flowers and cutting into the petals.  I added a pearl brad and spacer (from my stash) to the centre of the flower.   A simple card but quite pretty I think.  Thanks for stopping by today.  I’ll be back later with another card. 

A card for 6 challenges!

Sorry I’ve been MIA but it’s been a busy few days in work and I’ve been pooped when I’ve gotten home.  I’ll be catching up with everyone’s blogs over the weekend – I promise!   This is my card for 6 challenges this week – the pile it on challenge #18 is ‘3 dimensional’, the Friday sketcher’s challenge #72 is obviously the sketch I followed, the pollycraft challenge #25 is ‘5 “S” words’ (and I chose stripes and sparkle), the creative card crew challenge #31 is ‘it’s a celebration’, the secret crafter challenge is also ‘celebration’ and the anyone for anya? challenge is ‘you’re anya’.  I chose birthday anya as I have a very sweet tooth (that’s why I’m so cuddly) and could eat her cake at any time of the day or night lol :0).  For the pile it on challenge I interpreted the theme by stamping the cake twice and raising the second layer up with a foam pad (decoupage style), also my flowers and image are raised up on foam pads too.  I coloured birthday anya with my promarkers and used my rectangle nesties to cut it out.  The papers are all gorgeous BG from the sugared paper pad and the flowers were cut out with my ek success medium and small retro flowers.  The sentiment is SU from the circle of friendship set and was cut out with the SU 1” circle punch.  The ribbon is from my stash and the adhesive stones are PM.  Thanks for stopping by today.

A card for 4 challenges!

Hello, I promised I’d be back with a card….and I’m never one to break a promise (well not very often lol).  My card fits with 4 challenges this week – the stamp with fun challenge is a lovely sketch, the secret crafter challenge is ‘celebration’, the creative card crew challenge is ‘all that sparkles’ and the pile it on challenge is ‘let them eat cake’.  For my card I used a stamping bella image called cuppacakeabella and coloured her with promarkers adding stickles to the frosting of the cake (very shimmery IRL).  The papers are all DCWV from ‘the stack’.  The flowers were cut out of the paper with my ek success medium and small retro flower punches and the ribbon is american crafts.  The sentiment was created on the pc and cut out with my woodware circle punch.  This image is so popular with my friends and family and I keep having requests for it on a regular basis, so it was well worth the money!!  I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend.  I’ll hopefully be back tomorrow with another card.  Thanks for stopping by.

A card for 3 challenges!

This card fits in with 3 challenges this week.  The pile it on challenge #16 is ‘punches’, the charisma cardz challenge #37 is ‘flower power’ and the secret crafter saturday challenge #50 is ‘one for the girls’.  I used a freebie digi image by fred she said (who have some gorgeous digi images) and coloured it with my promarkers, adding highlights with a gel pen.  The papers are both DCWV from ‘the stack’ and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The ribbon is SU and the sentiment was created on the pc and cut out with my SU oval punches.  The adhesive stones are PM.  I hope you are having a good week, half way through already woohoo!  Thanks for stopping by. 

Pollycraft #24/pile it on #15/stamp something/Colour Create #27

Hello and happy Thursday to you all! This is my card for 4 challenges this week. The pollycraft challenge is asking for black, white +1 as is pile it on challenge, colour create is "neon green & black" and the stamp something challenge is to use your favourite embellishment. For my card I used a RAK image (kindly sent to me by fellow PFP DT member Sarah) and coloured her with my promarkers. The paper is from a paper pad I got from QVC a very long time ago and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The ribbon is making memories and the adhesive stones are PM. The decorative edge was cut with my martha stewart zigzag embossed punch. The sentiment was created on the pc and cut out with my SU oval punches and the flowers were cut out with my ek success small retro flower punch.

Don’t forget the PFP blog hop finishes tonight at 9pm and the winner will be announced tomorrow in the Weekend Workshop. I will also be announcing the winner of my card and one promarker tomorrow. 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.

Pile It On #9/Papertake challenge

I hope you’re all enjoying the glorious weather we having at the moment.  My card is lovely and summery today, just perfect for papertake challenge this week which is ‘four seasons’.  I’m also entering my card for the pile it on challenge which is ‘at least 3 flowers’.  I stamped my new elzybells image called ‘sunflower fun’ and coloured her with promarkers.  The large sunflower is also an elzybells image and was stamped three times and coloured with promarkers.  The gingham paper is craft creations and the flowery paper is by imagination project.  The plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The sentiment is stampendous and I used my SU oval punches to cut it out.   Enjoy the weekend, thanks for stopping by today.
