Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 94 - Hot Wheels - DT


Hello! Hope you have had a good weekend so far, we have bought an 8ft trampoline for the kids today, we finally gave in as we don't have the biggest garden ever but it is fine and doesn't take up as much room as I thought and the kids love it, so hopefully lots of fun coming up over the next few weeks on that. Anyway today is a new challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and this week's challenge has been set by the lovely Melissa and she has chosen 'hot wheels'. I have used a digi image from Digi Stamp Boutique and coloured it with Promarkers and used Basic Grey papers all of which are available at the Secret Crafter shop. Hope you like my card and I look forward to visiting you all this week.

Crafty Catz Challenge 43 - Material Girl - DT


Good morning. Hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend, I am hoping for some dry weather as we have had next to none for the last couple of weeks and the kids need to get out in the garden. Today is another new challenge over at Crafty Catz and this weeks challenge is Material Girl - we want to see some material on your cards somewhere. I hope you can join us again this week as we had a great response last week and I look forward to seeing all your cards.

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 93 - FairyTales - DT

Hello! Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. We have a new challenge over at Secret Crafter and this week the theme is FairyTales. For my card I have used a Tilda image, I love this Tilda although I am not sure of her name, I especially love her hair so different from normal. Tilda has been coloured with Promarkers and Stickles both are available at the Secret Crafter shop and some of my new Bo Bunny papers. I hope you can join us again this week as I loved visiting you last week.

Crafty Catz Challenge 42 - Summer Time - DT


Hello! I hope you have all had a lovely day, it has been so sunny here today such a change after virtually 2 weeks of constant rain. Today is a new challenge over at Crafty Catz and Dianne has set the theme of Summer Time, so lots of bright colours and pretty things this week. For my card I have used a Frilly Milly image from Pink Petticoat and I love her, I think I will be buying more of these images as they are soooo cute and easy to colour. I have tried to avoid my normal pink colours and I am pleased with the results of the blue and green and I think it still looks summery. Well I hope you can join us this week as we love to visit you all, I have the kids on their 6 weeks summer break at the moment so I will try my best to visit as many of you as they will allow lol!

Hello! Well I am very late with this post as I have had no phone line since last Wednesday - the lovely BT engineer finally turned up this morning and all is well again - it is amazing how much you miss the internet when you can't access it. Anyway last Thursday was a new challenge over at Charisma Cardz and this weeks challenge is 'watch the birdie', we are sponsored this week by Soft Pencil and the DT were lucky enough to be given this image to play with - isn't it sweet. Well I hope you can join us and I will be back later in the week with more DT cards.
