Birthday hedgie

This is a card I made for a lady at work. I stamped the PB image "greetings" and coloured it with my promarkers. The dp is all SU (not sure what ranges they are from) and the sentiment stamp is by stamping bella. The adhesive stones are PM. I kept the card fairly simple as the dp was quite busy but I like the final result. Thanks for stopping by.

Sending hugs

I made this card.......for no reason at all (wow that makes a change doesn't it lol). I stamped the lelo design image 'roses for you' (which is available from Dies to Die For) and coloured him with my promarkers. The dotty dp is doodlebug and I used my un-named gingham dp again. The plain cs is from the papermill shop and I used my ek success retro flower punches to cut out the flowers from the dp and cs. The decorative edge was created with my fiskars threading water punch. The wide red ribbon was wrapped around my husband's birthday cake (I'm a good recycler haha) and the adhesive stones are PM. The sentiment is a stamp by hero arts. I wanted to say a BIG thank you for all your blogoversary wishes yesterday. Thanks for stopping by.

Cupcake Craft Challenge

It was my turn this week to choose a theme for the CCC so I decided to choose a card for a man or a boy, as they are usually so difficult to make for. It was my son's 15th birthday last Friday so as I had to make a card for him I combined the two. Now it's not my usual type of card but my son is a drummer in a band called 'zenith 7' (hence the Z on the drumkit) and he is into rock music so I thought dark and grungy was the way to go - thankfully he loved it! I stamped the drumkit and 'you rock' sentiment from a clear stamp set by stampendous called 'rock out' and the skull & cross bones and star stamps are from a clear set by kars called 'rocky star'. The dp is DCWV and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The images were coloured with promarkers and the ribbon and charm are from my stash. The happy birthday sentiment is stamping bella and I used a studio g alphabet set to stamp my son's name. The number stickers are also DCWV.

Now you may have noticed it's my blogoversary today - I can't believe that one year has gone by since I started this blog - and boy has my crafting come a long way (I hope lol). I have lots of lovely goodies to offer very soon but I think I will wait until the Passion for Promarkers candy and DT call are over so that my candy can be placed at the top of my blog for all to see. I hope you can wait a little longer for some lovelyness!! Thanks for stopping by.

ASFOS #50

This is my card for this week's a spoonfull of sugar challenge which is 'touchy feely' (add texture to your cards). I stamped the stamping bella image 'cupcake-a-bella' and coloured her with promarkers adding stickles to the cupcake. The floral dp is BG and the gingham dp is from my stash (no name on it). The plain cs is from the papermill shop and I punched out three flowers from it with my ek success retro flower punch. The ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment was created on the pc. The scallop edge was cut with my fiskars decorative scissors and the adhesive stones are PM. The sketch was last week's sketch saturday but as usual I was too late to enter it (story of my life at the moment lol). Thanks for stopping by.

Another DigiStamp Boutique card

This is another card I've created using a lovely digi-image from DigiStamp Boutique called 'Olly and family' which can be found here. I printed off the image and coloured it with my promarkers. The lovely dp is again SU and I used my ek success retro flower punch for the flowers. I used my fiskars decorative scissors to cut the scalloped edge and the adhesive stones are PM. I love this sentiment, and had forgotten all about it, until I went searching through my drawers (so to speak). I got it from ebay ages ago but can't remember the seller, sorry. Thanks for stopping by.

New DigiStamp Boutique images!

THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY - SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MY EARLIER CARD!

I am so far behind with my DT duties, I will be sacked soon LOL! Here is one of the new digi-images available now at DigiStamp Boutique (called wedding church/chapel) and its available here. I printed off the image and coloured it with my promarkers. I used gorgeous dp from SU from the new tea party range and plain cs from the papermill shop. The large heart was cut with a woodware scalloped punch and the smaller hearts with an x-cut punch. The adhesive stones are PM. Sally-Ann is adding new images to the online shop all the time, so check back frequently. There is a new one just added called Arthur the Cat (sample to follow very soon) and he is soooo cute, you can see him here. Thanks for stopping by.

Colour Create #14

This is my card for this week's colour create challenge, which is 'red, cream and chocolate'. I made this for a lady at work for her mother to give to her doctor who is changing jobs. I stamped the sugar nellie image 'fizz' and coloured it with my trusty promarkers. The dp is all SU (the cream and red papers are from the new washington apple range but not too sure about the chocolate paper). The sentiments were created on the pc and the adhesive stones are PM. The sketch I used was last week's FF. Thanks for stopping by.
