Winter wonderland challenge–DT card

Hello dear friends!  I hope you’ve all had a great weekend so far.  I can’t believe the weekend is almost over though – where does the time go?

I used a super cute freebie image from Mo’s Digital Pencil called ‘snowy day’ and coloured it with promarkers.  I have been dying to use this image for ages and now I have I will definitely be using it again and it was lovely colour and really easy to cut out.  I embossed a piece of white card with my swiss dots embossing folder and just added a strip of doodlebug paper to break it up.  Quite a simple card but I’m quite pleased with the finished result. 

Our sponsor this week is Crafty Emma’s store and one lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher (excluding p&p) to spend in her online store.

Winter wonderland challenge–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you have all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend.  Today is the final day of my week off from work so I’m taking my mother out for some lunch and a look around the shops, although she is suffering with her arthritis in her knee at the moment so we’ll probably be having lots of coffee breaks in between (but I’m not complaining as it will be more time to chat and people watch lol!)

I’m here this morning with my card for the new challenge over at winter wonderland challenge.  This week the lovely Marianne has set the theme and she has chosen “it takes two” so she would like to see 2 people/snowmen etc in one image – fairly simple I thought until I couldn’t find any image I had with only two characters!  I had lots with 1 and equally lots with 3 but none with 2 – typical!  So after a quick nip to Pollycraft and I found a super cute image to use and here is my card:

WW challenge - it takes two

WW challenge - it takes two (close up)

As I said the image is from pollycraft and is called ‘snow buds’ and I coloured it with promarkers and flex markers.  The papers are my mind’s eye from the ‘be merry’ paper pad and the kraft card is from dies to die for.  I punched the snowflakes with a MS punch and added cute little heart buttons from my stash.

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp and one lucky winner will receive a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

PFP #133 & Winter Wonderland DT card

Good evening dear friends.  I’m really sorry for the late post tonight but time has just gotten away from me (plus I was side-tracked on Facebook lol!).  I hope you’ve all had a great day and are now having a relaxing night.  I’m going to try and have an early night tonight as it’s becoming a regular thing for me to go to bed after 1.30am, even on a school night lol!  They are starting to catch up with me and I definitely need my beauty sleep haha!

Anyway enough waffling and onto my card.  We have a brand new challenge for you today over at passion for promarkers challenge which has been set by Kimberly and she has chosen “recycle something”.  Don’t forget to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products i.e. promarkers, flex markers, aqua markers or tria markers.  Here is my card:

PFP challenge 133 - recycle something

PFP challenge 133 - recycle something (close up)

PFP challenge 133 - recycle something (side view)

I used a super cute image from Lili of the Valley and coloured it with a mix of promarkers and flex markers.  The papers are echo park from the “be mine” paper pad and the pretty flowers were cut out with a magnolia doo-hickey die.  My recycled items are the ribbon which was wrapped around a pair of PJ’s that I had for Christmas and the black tag which was on one of hubby’s t-shirts. 

Our sponsor this week is Joanna Sheen and the lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in her online store.

I decided to combine my card with my DT card for Winter Wonderland challenge as unfortunately I didn’t make a card on time for last Friday’s challenge but I thought better late than never.  The theme over at WW is “easel card” and we haven’t started our Christmas themed challenges yet so it can be for any occasion.  The challenge still has one day left so why not knock up a quick easel card and try your luck – you have to be in it to win it!

Our sponsor over at winter wonderland is Lili of the Valley and they are offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

I’m sorry it’s a doubled up post today but I didn’t want to let down my teamies at winter wonderland and wanted to make an easel card, as it seems like ages since I made one.  I’m really glad I did as it turned out quite pretty I think.

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

Dream valley challenge – animals (entry #1)

The squirrel and the fox challenge – critters

Lexi’s creations challenge – fancy folds

Little darlings challenge – fave colour (pink)

Moving along with the times challenge – things with wings (entry #2)

Winter wonderland challenge–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  Hasn’t the weather been really shocking this week and I hope you haven’t experienced the awful damage I’ve seen on the TV.  It’s been very windy and wet here but thankfully we haven’t had any problems with flooding or any damage.  I hope you all keep warm, dry and safe. 

I’m here this morning to share my DT card for this week’s Winter Wonderland challenge and the lovely Marianne has set the theme and she has chosen “let’s go shopping “ and she would like to see images that are shopping or holding shopping bags etc. .  Our challenge does not have to be for Christmas, although you can if you like, as we don’t start our Christmas only challenges until February.    I really struggled with this challenge as I seem to have misplaced my mojo this week so if anyone has any spare please send it my way lol!  Anyway here is my card:

WW #25 - let's go shopping

WW #25 - let's go shopping (close up)

I used a super cute image from Lori Boyd designs called ‘back to school Lucy’ but I removed her pile of books!  I coloured her using promarkers and flex markers and cut her out with an oval nestie.  The papers are a magazine freebie from quite a while ago and the card (which is really turquoise IRL) is stampin’ up.  The ribbon isn’t quite so dark IRL either but hey-ho my wonderful photography skills at work again!!

We have some new DT members joining us from this week and joining Team Marianne we have Bridget and Karen and joining Team Kate we have Debbie and Lisa.  Welcome girls, I cannot wait to see your wonderful creations. 

Our sponsor this week is Crafter’s Companion and the lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in the online store.

Good morning dear friends.  As there is no passion for promarkers challenge card today I thought I would do a catch-up post and share my card for last week’s winter wonderland challenge.  A huge apology to my fellow DT girlies, I meant to post it Friday evening but then I completely forgot – oops.  However better late than never and there is still time to enter our challenge (phew!).  Our theme is “let it snow” so I know there will be lots of lovely entries for us to drool over.  Here is my card:

Our sponsor this week is Delicious Doodles and one lucky winner will receive 3 digi images from their online store.

Winter wonderland challenge–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you’re having a good week so far.  I cannot believe it is Friday already – although I’m not complaining.  It’s been a super crazy week in work and I will be glad when today is over.  It is my son’s 15th birthday on Monday so we will be going out on Sunday to the cinema to celebrate and probably have a nice meal too, so something to look forward too. 

We’ve had more bad luck in the family this week, my hubby’s grandfather who is 95 has recently had a major operation for cancer but had come home from hospital and was recovering well when he fell and broke his hip.  He is back is hospital and recovering from surgery on his hip now as well.  I know he’s a tough old man but there’s only so much that someone that age can tolerate and I really hope he can bounce back from this. 

Onto nicer things now and today there is a brand new challenge over at winter wonderland challenge and Squirrel has chosen the theme of “nativity”.  She would like to see your images featuring baby Jesus, Mary & Joseph, the 3 wise men etc.  I decided to go for a super minimalist look for my card this time – here it is:

WW #21 - nativity

WW #21 - nativity (close up)

I used a super sweet image from Mo’s Digital Pencil called ‘in the manger’ and I coloured it with promarkers and flex markers.  The sentiment is from a clear set by personal impressions and the gems are from my stash.  The plain card is papermania from textured card pack.  I really like the simplicity of this card, although I really had to stop myself from adding more to it!! 

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp and one lucky winner will receive a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

The rest of the design team have created amazing samples as always, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for us.  It is wonderful to see how many people are now playing along with our challenges – maybe it has something to do with the fact that there are only 30 days until Christmas lol!

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

Quirky crafts challenge – clean and simple

Stamptacular challenge – boy oh boy

Paper playtime challenge – use a stamped image and add a sentiment

Creative craft challenge – free for all

Winter wonderland–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you’ve had a good week so far, mine hasn’t been great but I can’t go into details – suffice to say I’ll be glad when it’s over!!  I’m here this morning to share my DT card for this week’s winter wonderland challenge and I have the honour of setting the theme this week.  I decided to challenge myself and choose a theme that is the complete opposite of most of my cards – therefore the theme this week is “clean & simple Christmas card”.  Here is my card:

WW #19 - CAS Christmas card

WW #19 - Christmas card (close up)

I have used a super cute image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Hattie & Buddy’ and coloured it with promarkers and flex markers.  I haven’t used any patterned paper only plain cardstock for matting and I crimped the base card for a bit of added interest.  I only added some twine and a punched snowflake and I was done.  I have to say that I really like this card, even though it is so different to my normal cards, but it does look ten times better IRL – honest!

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp and one lucky winner will receive a $15.00 gift voucher to spend in their online store (p&p not included).

Winter wonderland challenge–DT project

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you’ve had a brilliant week so far – the weekend is nearly here woohoo!  I can’t believe how quickly this week has flown by – not that I’m complaining of course. 

I’m here this morning with my DT project for this week’s winter wonderland challenge.  This week the lovely Suzi has set the theme and she has chosen “robin redbreast” so we want to see all your images featuring robins – simples right !!  I decided to make a door hanger for a change:

WW #18 - robin red breast

WW #18 - robin red breast (close up)

I am still waiting (not very patiently by the way lol!) for my printer ink to be delivered so I had to search through my stamps for a suitable image.  I was super pleased to find this adorable wild rose studio ‘Milton & co ‘ stamp called “Milton & robin” to use.  I coloured the image with a mix of promarkers and flex markers simply added a large ribbon bow and pearls for decoration.  I used my circle nesties to cut out the aperture for the door handle.  I have to say it looks much nicer IRL and I’m quite happy with the finished result – for once haha!

Our sponsors this week are pink gem designs and they are offering 4 digis of the winner’s choice and also squiggle stamps who are offering 2 digis of the winner’s choice.

The rest of the design team have created amazing samples as always, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for us.

Winter wonderland challenge–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  Well I hope you’re enjoying the “indian summer” we’re experiencing at the moment – boy it’s been really hot hasn’t it?  It’s so much nicer than all the rain we’ve been having lately and let’s hope it lasts for the weekend. 

I’m here this morning to share my card for this week’s challenge over at winter wonderland challenge.  This week it’s Squirrel’s turn from Team Marianne to set the theme and she has chosen “how charming”, so we would like to see a charm on your creation somewhere.  Now I have to say I have an aversion to charms as I don’t really know how to attach them properly.  Everyone else seems to use them without much bother but I’m useless however I took the challenge and here is my card:

WW #17 - how charming

WW #17 - how charming (close up)

I have used a newly released super cute image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘sketchy snow person’ and coloured him with promarkers and I added stickles for the glistening snow.  The gorgeous papers are dovecraft from the ‘fancy Christmas’ paper pack and the fantastic sentiment strips are by pink petticoat from the ‘sentiment ribbons’ set.  I added my snowflake charm onto some baker’s twine and tied it around my top layer of patterned paper. 

Our sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear Stamps and one lucky winner will receive a $10.00 gift certificate to spend in their online store.

Winter wonderland challenge–DT card

Happy Friday dear friends – it’s almost the weekend *yay*.  Hope you’ve had a great week so far.  Work has been crazy busy and we’ve all been rushing around like headless chickens!  Can’t wait for the weekend for a small lie-in and time to chill (and craft of course!). 

I’m here this morning to share my card for this week’s winter wonderland challenge.  The lovely Lynsey has set the theme and she has chosen “for a special friend/friends”.  I have a few ‘special’ friends that I post Christmas cards too each year so this was a perfect challenge for me.  Here is my card:

WW #15 - friends

WW #15 - friends (inside)

WW #15 - friends (close up)

I decided to try a different, albeit simple, fold for a change to the regular square card.  I don’t know it’s official name but I think it may be known as a fold-back card?  I literally took the front of my square card and folded it in half.  The super cute image is another August newbie from DigiStamp Boutique and is part of the ‘Zoe and Henry Xmas Set 1’, which is currently one of the offers of the month.  You can find it in the shop here along with the other offer of the month too. 

Our sponsor this week is Pollycraft and they are offering one lucky winner 5 digi images of their choice from their online store.
