Totally Gorjuss Challenge 32 - Wings - DT

Hello! Hope you are all enjoying the weekend, it is very rainy here but hopefully Mr Sun will be back soon. Today is a new challenge over at Totally Gorjuss and this week we want to see wings on your creations. I have used one of my favourite Tilda's for this card, I love her as she looks just like my little girl Grayce when she has her ponytail in. I am also entering this card into the challenge over at Creative Inspirations which is distressing.

Crafty Catz Challenge 34 - Boys - DT

Hello! Today is a new challenge at Crafty Catz and Carol has set the challenge this week of making a card for a boy/man. I normally avoid boys cards like the plague but it was my son's birthday the other week and I made him this card and held it back especially for this challenge. Ben loves pirates so this Edwin image was perfect and I loved colouring him too. The lovely Susie from Die Cut Dreams is our sponsor and Guest DT this week so hop over to the blog and join in the fun. I am also entering this card into the challenge over at CupCake which is black and grey plus one and my plus one is blue.

Good morning and it's another glorious one. Yesterday was a new challenge over at Totally Gorjuss and as I spent most of the day in the garden hiding under my parasol I never got to post my card so here it is. The challenge this week is bling and I have used one of my new hanglar images and added lots of sparkly gems. I hope you like my card and can join us in the fun. I am entering this card into the challenge at Friday Sketchers as I followed their fab sketch and also the challenge over at A Spoonful Of Sugar which is Cute and Girly.

Crafty Catz Challenge 32 - Petals & Pearls - DT

Good morning, I can't believe we are at Friday again ! Today we have another new challenge over on Crafty Catz and I have set the challenge this week of petals and pearls. I love using flowers and pearls on my cards as you have probably noticed LOL! so I couldn't resist this as a challenge. I have used Tilda again, I am loving the new collection at the moment, Tilda is soooo girly and a joy to colour. I always use Promarkers to colour but really want to try something else but I am not sure whether to go for pencils or distress inks at the moment but it would be nice to learn a new technique.

Anyway I will be back tomorrow with my Totally Gorjuss DT card and I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Crafty Catz Challenge 31 - Card & Tag - DT

Hello, hope everyone has had a lovely weekend. Sorry for the lack of posts lately but I have been very busy this last week or so. I have decorated Grayce's bedroom ready for her new big girls bed - it is a small room so once the bed was in it would have been impossible to paint and OMG how that bed did not want to go in. My lovely hubbie spent the best part of 5 hours fighting with it yesterday but it is up and in now and there to stay till she leaves home LOL! bless her she is only 4! On Friday it was Ben's 6th birthday and he had his first proper party with friends from school and family at the local soft play place - they had the best time and it was great seeing him with his friends and seeing how they are with him, they are all so kind to him and treat him just the same as everyone else. Anyway onto Crafty Catz and we have another new challenge for you this week, set by our own lovely Dianne and we want to see a card and tag this week, it can be 2 seperate items or like I did just one, whatever takes your fancy. We also still have a DT call running until 12th May so if you fancy joining our little team - we are all very friendly and would love to have you with us you still have a few days to apply.
