Charisma Cardz #39 - my first DT card!

Good morning everyone.  I am excited to be sharing with you my first ever DT card for Charisma Cardz challenge.  This week the lovely Vee has set the challenge and she has chosen “Christmas crafting”.  We cannot wait to see all your Christmas inspired cards and projects.  As promised I have used another sneak peek on my card from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Eddie & Jemima xmas kiss’ and this will be available in the shop from 1st October, so not long to wait now :)  Here is my card:

 

Aww aren’t they so sweet.  I love the expression on their faces! 

As a co-incidence Sally-Ann from DigiStamp Boutique is also sponsoring our challenge this week and the lucky winner will receive 10 digi images of their choice from her shop.  Now you know how many gorgeous images she has so the winner will be spoilt for choice. 

The rest of the DT have created some amazing Christmas cards and projects and I am so lucky to be working alongside such a talented bunch.  I hope you will pop over and take a look and leave them a nice comment. 

I am going to enter my card into the following challenges:

Paper cutz challenge – use a critter (hope bears are critters lol)

Raise the bar challenge – bundle up

Winter wonderland challenge – holly, red and green

Bee crafty challenge – furry/fluffy friends

Passion for promarkers #71 – DT card

Hello friends, I’m here to share with you my DT card for this week’s passion for promarkers challenge.  Our theme this week has been set by Sue C and she has chosen “vintage/shabby chic”, which as some of you might know is not my favourite thing to do.  Some people seem to find it really easy to do but I really find it difficult.  I have tried my best and I hope I have done Sue C proud!!  Here is my card:

Our sponsor this week is Joanna Sheen and the lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in her online store.  She has so many lovely things including promarkers and free postage too!

Please scroll down to see my earlier post

As promised I’m back again with my DT card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  Our theme this week has been set by the lovely fluffiness herself Faye and she has chosen a colour combo of ‘pink and brown’, which is one of my faves.  The DT had the option of using an image from our sponsors stitchy stamps this week so I chose this adorable image called ‘splash’.  Here is my card:

Isn’t she a cutie and when I chose the image she was very apt for the weather we were having!

Marcea’s music saves your soul week 2

Good morning – it’s Saturday *yay* no work for two whole days haha!  I hope everyone is having a great day so far – I haven’t done very much yet but need to get cracking on my DT cards soon :) 

Anyway it’s week 2 of Marcea’s fun weekly post ‘music saves your soul’ where she would like you to share one of your favourite songs and link it to her blog. 

For this week I have picked another catchy and fun song – I hope you like it.  

The video is really fun and the song is great too.  Have a great Saturday and thanks for stopping by. 

Woohoo exciting news!!

I cannot contain my excitement any longer – I have been chosen as a DT member for Charisma Cardz challenge.  I was shocked when I received the email from Carly-Ann as I was so sure I wasn’t going to be picked.  There are 6 new DT members all together, which were chosen from 176 applications!!

I’m look forward to working along Carly-Ann and the super talented DT over there.  Their new challenges are posted every Thursday and I will be taking part from next week (gulp!).  I hope you will pop over and support me and take a look at all the lovely cards.  I’ll be back later with a card, I hope :)
