I hope you are all having a great weekend.  I can hear thousands of fireworks going off - well that may be a slight exaggeration but it seems like that many! .  I hope your doggies and kitties are ok.  My kitty cat Daisy is a little timid and is currently hiding under the stairs lol!  Thanks for stopping by.

Charisma cardz #44 – DT card

Good morning everyone, the week is flying by so quickly again, can’t believe it’s already Thursday.  So that means it’s time for a brand new challenge over at charisma cardz challenge and the theme this week has been set by the lovely Carly-Ann and she has chosen “with love at Christmas”.  Most of us need to get ahead with our Christmas cards at this time of year so what a brilliant theme.  Here is my card:

charisma cardz #44 - with love at Christmas

 charisma cardz #44 - with love at Christmas (close up)

Isn’t the image so much fun.  It’s from Prairie Fairy and it’s called ‘mistletoe kisses’.  This is the first time I’ve tried an all white card (besides the image of course) and I actually quite like the effect.  It looks better IRL as it was quite difficult to photograph. 

We have two sponsors this week, firstly we have Simon Says Stamp and they are offering a $20.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

Our second sponsor is Prairie Fairy Digital Stamps and they are offering 5 digis to the winner.  As you can see from my card they do really fun and quirky images, so you will be spoilt for choice.

Passion for promarkers #76 – DT card

Good morning everyone, I’m back again this morning to share my card for this week’s passion for promarkers challenge.  This week’s theme has been set by the lovely Emma and she has chosen “pearls, lavender and lace”.  Here is my card:

PFP challenge 75 - lavender, lace and pearls

PFP challenge 75 - lavender, lace and pearls (close up)

This is one of my new images from Lili of the Valley (well it’s new for me anyway) and I used their new cardstock to stamp it on.  I have to say the promarkers did blend very easily on this cardstock (more than I’m used too so I did bleed over the lines a little more than usual but my trusty blender pen came to the rescue lol!). 

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp and the lucky winner will receive a $10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

Stamp with fun #83 – DT card

Good morning everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your halloween last night.  I had lots of callers to the house, but mostly little children, so I don’t mind, it’s when the older kids call just wearing a mask that I don’t like it.  The little ones were really cute and loved the jelly sweets I had for them :) 

I’m here this morning to share with you my DT card for this week’s stamp with fun challenge.  This week we have a lovely theme for you and it is “something that flies” i.e. birds, butterflies etc.  Here is my card:
