Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 98 - Make A Start on Christmas DT

Hello! Hope you are all well and enjoying the start of the bank holiday, I can't believe the kids are back at school on Wednesday, summer has gone by very fast and now my baby girl is starting school too it is going to be a strange few weeks with maybe a tear or two! Anyway onto challenges and today is a new one over at Secret Crafter Saturday and this week's theme is Christmas. It was very odd making a Christmas card and it took me a while to get myself in the right frame of mind but once I got going I loved it. I love Christmas and it can't come too soon for me so I think I will be making lots more Christmas cards over the next few weeks, I need to as I normally leave them all to the last minute and then it is bedlam. I have used some gorgeous papers from Memory Box on this card and coloured with my faithful Promarkers which you can buy from Secret Crafter and just added a bit of ribbon, I think it needed to stay simple with the papers. Anyway I hope you all like my card and I look forward to seeing all yours. Thank you for visiting and for all your lovely comments they really make my day and all of them are very special to me.

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 97 - Blue & Cream DT

Today is a new challenge over at Secret Crafter and this week's challenge has been set by Wendy and she wants to see blue and cream on your cards. I loved making this card, it just seemed to come together well and even though I was wary of the colour scheme to begin with it is one I will be using more often in the future. The papers are Basic Grey and can be bought at the Secret Crafter shop and I have coloured with Promarkers which too are available at the store. I look forward to visiting you again this week and seeing all your fabulous cards.

Crafty Catz Challenge 46 - Buttons & Butterflies DT

Hello! Hope you are well and enjoying some sunshine, it has rained most of the week here but seems nice today for now! Yesterday saw a new challenge over at Crafty Catz and this week it is my turn to set the challenge and I have chosen Buttons and Butterflies. I love adding butterflies to cards, it makes them so pretty and feminine so I have added quite a few to this card. We had a fabulous response last week so we hope to see you all again this week and we also have 2 prizes this week, some lovely stamps from Lilac Lemon Designs and also a 2 week Guest DT position so it must be worth a go!

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 95 - It's A Man's World - DT

Hello! Yesterday was a new challenge over at Secret Crafter and this week's theme has been chosen by Tracie and she wants to see a man's card. Well I don't really do men's cards if I can possibly avoid them but I remembered I had this Robin Hood Edwin image and I have to admit I loved making this card. The papers I have used are from Basic Grey and I have coloured as usual with Promarkers both of which you can buy from the fab Secret Crafter shop so pay it a visit if you have a minute and a few spare pennies.

Good morning! Hope you have all had a nice weekend so far, we were out most of yesterday at my mum-in-laws, it was her birthday and she had a BBQ, we were very lucky as for the most part the rain held off. Anyway Friday was a new challenge over at Crafty Catz and this week's challenge has been set by Suzanne and she wants to see buttons and bows on your cards. We are sponsored again this week by Robyns Fetish Digital Stamps and the DT were given some images to play with and I loved this angel image, so pretty and my new papers are from Memory Box and I love them too.
