Susie’s sassy challenge #12 – DT card

Well it’s finally here – the last ever challenge for Susie’s sassy challenge.  Susie has decided that she needs to cut back on her challenge blogs and unfortunately as this one was the last one she set up it’s had the chop!!  I will be so sad to see it go as I’ve had a whale of a time and the girls on the DT are a fab bunch and a pleasure to work with.  I hope you will be able to join in with us for our final challenge and send us off with a bang :)

Our final challenge for the next two week is ‘me and my pets’, so come on dig out all your animal stamps and digi’s and get to work! 

 

Our sponsor this week is Di’s digi downloads and the DT were lucky enough to be given some of her images to work with!  For my card I used ‘Maisy and Kaboodle, reaching for presents’ and coloured it with my promarkers.  I decided as it was the last challenge for us I would try and make something a little different.  After a quick mooch around SCS I thought I’d have a go at making a ‘spring’ card.  Now this is the first time I’ve made one and I have to say I’m quite pleased with how it turned out, although I’ll try and make it a bit bigger next time.  The papers I used are from Inque Boutique and the paper pad is called ‘cabana’.  The flowers were punched out of the papers with my medium and small ek success retro flower punches and the leaves were cut with my L’em punch.  The adhesive glitter dots were from QVC a long time ago and the sentiment is by whiff of joy. 

The lucky winner of this challenge will win 2 digi images from Di’s digi downloads online store – you’ll be spoiled for choice as she has lots of adorable images to choose from. 

My card also fits in with the following challenges:

Stamptacular challenge – sugar & spice and everything nice

Incy wincy designs challenge – fancy folds

Pollycraft challenge – anything goes

Sophisticat challenge – raining cats and dogs (cat on my image)

Magical crafts challenge – animal antics

Crafty cardmakers challenge – a challenging challenge

I love promarkers challenge – animals

Stampavie and more challenge – use some green on your project

I hope you can find the time to enter our challenge and I look forward to seeing what you create.  Have a brilliant Thursday.  Thanks for stopping by.

Susie’s sassy challenge #11 – DT card

The new challenge over at Susie’s sassy challenge has been chosen by Sally and is ‘springtime garden’ – you can interpret that any way you like!  For my card I used a pretty digi image by Mo’s digital pencil called ‘secret garden’ and I coloured it with my promarkers.  All of the gorgeous papers are PM from the aptly named ‘rose garden’ paper pack and the plain card is from the papermill shop.  I used my CB and embossed the green card with my ‘daisy pattern’ embossing folder.  The gems are from my stash and the sentiment is from the ‘happy day’ stamp set by the greeting farm.  The flowers are from wild orchid crafts and the leaves were cut with my MS frond punch.  It’s difficult to see in the picture but I added stickles the flower arrangement and also the flowers on the image. 

The prize on offer for this challenge is £10 worth of mystery mix of die cuts and images.  The rest of the DT have created some beautiful and very diverse samples for your inspiration.  Please pop over and take a look if you can.

Susie’s sassy challenge #10 – DT project

Well the last fortnight has flown by and it’s now time for a new challenge over at Susie’s sassy challenge.  The theme for this fortnight is ‘Easter’ (so a nice easy one for you).  I decided not to make a card this time (WHY I ask myself) and made a cute little hanger (sorry the pics are so bad but it was really hard to photograph).

 

The image is ‘Easter Anya’ from the greeting farm and I coloured her with promarkers.  The gorgeous card is bazzill bling and the ribbon is SU.  The ‘eggs’ were made by using the smallest oval nestie and I added strips of patterned paper to make them resemble Easter eggs.  The sentiment was created on the pc and the adhesive stones are from Joanna Sheen. 

The prize for this fortnight’s challenge is a guest designer spot with us for our challenge on 8th April – definitely a prize worth entering for – I’m sure you’ll agree.  Please check out the rest of the DT cards/projects as they are all stunning. 

I can also enter my hanger in the following challenges:

Rosie D’s challenge – think spring

Roses on paper challenge – Easter

The townscrapper challenge – spring/warm weather

Stamp something challenge – something girly

Creatalicious challenge – a little something

Stamp, scrap & doodle Saturday challenge – open theme

Die cut dreams challenge – no flowers allowed

CRAFT challenge – citrus

I hope you all have a good day – I’m counting the hours as tomorrow is my day off *woohoo*.  I cannot wait, I am going out with my mum, as I haven’t spent the day with her for soooo long!   Girlie shopping day sounds like fun…..or maybe Ikea?  Thanks for stopping by today.

Susie’s sassy challenge #9 – DT card

The new challenge over at Susie’s sassy challenge this fortnight has been chosen by Lisa and it is a colour combo – aqua and lilac.  The DT were all given images by Roberta at Prairie Fairy Designs and I’ve used a gorgeous image called ‘snow fairy’.  I coloured the image with my promarkers and added stickles to her wings.  The papers are all making memories from the ‘meg’ paper pack and the ribbon is also making memories.  The flower is from my stash and the snowflake was cut with my MS arctic snowflake punch.  The jewel brad is PM and the adhesive stones are kaisercraft.  The sentiment is by Anita’s and I used my SU and woodware circle punches to cut it out.  The swirls were cut with my EK success flourish punch. 

As you’ve probably guessed our sponsor is Prairie Fairy Designs and our winner can choose 3 digi images from her shop (I’m so jealous!). 

The rest of the DT have done an amazing job with the images and Roberta from Prairie Fairy has also made a card for our challenge so if you get chance please check them out.

Susie’s sassy challenge #7 – DT card

Wow I can’t believe how fast the week’s are flying by- we’re already on challenge 7 of Susie’s sassy challenge.  This week’s challenge has been chosen by yours truly and the theme is ‘red, white and blue’.  I don’t really know why I chose this as my theme but as it was my brother-in-law’s birthday yesterday I decided to combine the two.  I used a fun digi image from charmed crafts called ‘policeman George’ from the ‘George at work’ set as my BIL is a policeman!  I used my promarkers to colour him in and the sentiment was created on the pc.  The gingham paper is from my stash (no name) and the plain card is from the papermill shop (the background card is a navy blue, although it looks black in the picture).  I used my diamond plate embossing folder in the CB on the red card and cut out the stars with my quickutz cookie cutter.  The white card, ribbon and buttons are from my stash. 

The prize for this challenge is a Guest Designer spot for challenge #9 that starts on the 25th of February, so definitely worth having a go!!  Please check out the rest of the DT cards as they are all stunning once again.  I can’t wait to see what you create and look forward to visiting your blogs.

Susie’s sassy challenge #6 – DT card

Good morning and welcome to our new challenge over at Susie’s sassy challenge.  Our theme this week is ‘a card for a boy with the optional extra to include an animal’.  Tracy chose the theme this time as it is her son’s 4th birthday on Sunday and he loves animals so I made my card with him in mind.  I used a super cute digi image from Mo’s digital pencil called Bronte and Louis and I coloured it with my promarkers.  The papers are all making memories from the ‘max’ 12x12 paper pack.  The sentiment and number 4 were created on the pc and I used my quickutz star cookie cutter to cut out the ‘4’.  I used my new MS scalloped punch to create the band along the bottom of the card.  

The prize up for grabs this week is this fantastic heart shaped chip-board mini album, just in time for Valentine’s day! 

The rest of the DT have come up with some gorgeous samples to inspire you, please check them out if you get a chance.

Susie’s sassy challenge #5 – DT card

Hello everyone and welcome to the new challenge over at Susie’s sassy challenge.  I can’t believe we’re already on challenge number 5!  Our challenge this week is ‘friends – old and new’ and for my card I used a new but never used stamp by stamping bella called ‘bbf-abugs’.  I coloured the image with my promarkers and added a glittery effect to their wings with a sakura stardust pen.  The papers are all daisy bucket and the plain card is from the papermill shop.  The flowers are from my stash and the adhesive stones are PM.  The swirls were cut with my ek success punch and the sentiment is SU from the pocket silhouettes stamp set. 

The prize for this challenge is a Guest Design Team spot for challenge #7 that starts on the 28th of January.  If you are picked as the winner you will be asked to make a GDT project/card for the challenge after next.  Wow what an amazing prize I’m sure you’ll agree :)  Check out the blog for more details.

Susie’s sassy challenge #4 – DT card

Hello and welcome to my second ‘catch up’ post!  This is my DT card for Susie’s sassy challenge, which launched last Thursday.  The theme for this challenge is ‘a touch of gold’.  Now as a rule I don’t really use gold – I’m more of a silver person but once I decided on my image and papers it all came together quite well I think.  I used a freebie digi image by Mo’s Digital Pencil called 'little girl in kimono’ (although I separated the girl and her kitten by cutting them out) and I coloured them with my promarkers.  The papers are BG from the wassail paper pad and the black and gold card are from the papermill shop and I embossed the white panel with my divine swirls embossing folder using the ‘bug.  The adhesive stones are PM and the ribbon is dovecraft.  The flowers were cut with my ek success retro flower punches (med & small) and the sentiment is SU from the ‘wow flowers’ stamp set. 

I know its a busy time of year but I hope you can find the time to enter the challenge and I look forward to visiting your blogs.  Please take a look at the rest of the DT cards as they are all gorgeous. 

The prize this week has been donated by the lovely Dulcie Jackson and this is what one lucky person will win:

Don’t forget to drop by tomorrow to see my DT cards for Cupcake Craft challenge and Stamp With Fun.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Woohoo I’m back!!

Well after almost a week without a computer I’m so glad to be back.  I never thought it would take this long to get it back from the repair shop and it couldn’t have happened at a worst time but hey I’m finally back online :)  I hope you missed me ‘cos I certainly missed you! 

I wasn’t able to post my DT project for Passion for Promarkers on Tuesday or Susie’s Sassy Challenge on Thursday so I will be doing one per day, starting today with my PFP project. 

It was the second chance to show you a creation that was ‘anything but a card’ with a Christmas/New Year theme for our mega Christmas challenge, which is running until 5th January 2010.

For my project I decided to make some sour cream containers and wow I couldn’t believe how simple they were to make.  I used paper by daisy bucket designs and images by pink petticoat from the ‘have an ice Christmas’ collection.  I coloured the images with my promarkers and cut them out with my circle nesties.  The plain card is from the papermill shop and the ribbon is dovecraft.  I think I will make some for my sister to decorate the table for Christmas lunch as she is cooking for the whole family this year (yum yum). 

I hope you are all prepared and organised (unlike me, who still hasn’t written her cards or wrapped her presents!) for the ‘big’ day.  Please pop back tomorrow to see my Susie’s sassy challenge DT card.  Thanks for stopping by and it’s so great to be finally back with you :)

Susie’s sassy challenge #3 – DT card

Hello and welcome to a new challenge over at susie’s sassy challenge.  Our challenge for this fortnight is ‘buttons & bows’ and for my card I used an image kindly sent to me by Tracey (at Dies to Die For).  The image is called ‘Oliver‘ and is by kraftin’ kimmie stamps and I coloured it with my promarkers.  The paper is by K&Co from the Tim Coffey Christmas pad (which I got last year) and the plain paper is from the papermill shop.  The adhesive gems are PM (they were clear but I coloured them with my crimson promarker to match my card) and the green velvet ribbon is dovecraft.  The white ribbon which I made into bows is SU and the buttons are from my stash.  The snowflakes are MS and dovecraft punches and the sentiment is craftwork cards.  It’s difficult to tell in my useless picture but I added stickles to the snowflakes on the paper for a bit of extra bling!  I hope you will have time to check out the rest of the DT cards as they are stunning.  I can’t wait to see what you create and look forward to visiting your blogs. 

The prize up for grabs is a guest DT post on susie’s sassy challenge – how awesome is that!!! 

I will also be entering my card into the following challenges:

Pollycraft challenge – their theme is Christmas

Creative card crew challenge – their theme is also Christmas

Kraftin’ kimmie’s challenge – their theme is touchy feely (I have gorgeous velvet ribbon on my card)

All that scraps Wednesday challenge – their theme is Christmas as well!

Thanks for stopping by today.

 

Susie’s sassy challenge #2 – DT card

Wow I can’t believe that it’s already our second challenge over at susie’s sassy challenge; the first challenge just whizzed past.  Our theme for the new challenge is ‘pink & sparkly’ and for my card I used a stamping bella image called ‘snowbunnybella’.  I used my promarkers to colour the image and added stickles to the fluffy bits on her hat, coat and boots.  The yummy paper is from a paper pack by PM called naughty & nice that I bought last Christmas (I also added a little stickles to highlight the snowflakes on the paper).  The plain green paper is from the papermill shop and the ribbon is making memories.  The sentiment is anita’s and I used my circle nesties to cut it out.  The decorative edge was cut with my MS doily lace punch and the snowflakes were a RAK from Tracey at dies to die for.  The adhesive stones are PM.  There is another fab prize up for grabs for this challenge (I’ll add a pic tomorrow when I know what it is lol!). 

I am also entering this card for the mojo monday sketch challenge, as I followed their sketch. 

I can’t wait to see all your pink and sparkly creations and look forward to visiting your blogs. Don’t forget our challenge runs for two weeks, so you have until our next challenge starts on Thursday 3rd December to enter :)  Thanks for stopping by today. 

Susie’s sassy challenge #1 – DT card

Today’s the day for the launch of the brand new challenge blog – susie’s sassy challenge!   The challenges will run every two weeks and to start us off we have an amazing prize for you to win.  To be in with a chance to win you have to make a christmas card (so a nice easy challenge to start you off with!).  I am so honoured to be part of the DT and the rest of the team are such a talented bunch :)

Here is a pic of the prize up for grabs:

For my card I used a digi-image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Milly & presents’ and I coloured it with my promarkers.  I used flower soft for the fluffy bits, this is the first time I’ve used it and it looks ok but not as stunning as I thought it would.  I used my kraft card once again from elzybells and the paper was a scrap piece without a name on it.  The decorative edges were cut with my MS zigzag embossed punch and also used my MS arctic snowflake punch.  The sentiment is craftwork cards and I used my SU oval punch to cut the kraft card behind it.  The twine is from tabby crafts.  I hope you have a chance to enter our first challenge and to be in with a chance to win the fantastic prize.  I look forward to seeing what you come up with and visiting your blogs.  Please check out the rest of the DT cards as they are all gorgeous.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Creative card crew #35/Digital Tuesday #31

Hello and welcome to Wednesday, I can’t believe how quickly this week is going (not that I’m complaining though lol).  My card today fits the challenges over at creative card crew, whose theme is ‘ribbons and gems’ and digital tuesday challenge, whose theme is ‘flowers’.  The digi image was a freebie from fred she said and I coloured it with my promarkers, adding highlights with a white gel pen.  The papers are DCWV from ‘the stack’ and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The flowers were cut out with my ek success retro flower punches and the adhesive stones are PM.  The sentiment was created on the pc and cut out with my SU oval punches and the ribbon is also SU.  Some of my regular visitors may think this card is familiar but it is a variation on this card that I made a little while ago.

Don’t forget to check out our new challenge starting tomorrow over at susie’s sassy challenge – there is an amazing prize up for grabs for our very first challenge….you definitely don’t want to miss it!!  I will be back tomorrow with my first DT card – how exciting :)  Thanks for stopping by today.
