Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 111 - A Recipe - DT

Today is a new challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and this week we have a recipe for you of ' 3 snowflakes, 2 circles and lace', we are also sponsored by Kenny K and the DT were lucky enough to have some images to play with. I loved using this mistletoe image from Kenny K, it is so far removed from what I normally colour and I didn't think I would like using it but I did and I think I will be visiting the shop and buying a couple more. The papers I have used are from Basic Grey and you can purchase them along with Promarkers at the Secret Crafter shop.

Hello! Hope you are all well and not too cold, it is freezing here today but fingers crossed so far no snow. Yesterday saw a new challenge at Crafty Catz and I chose the theme of 'Christmas' this week in the hope if like me you are behind with your cards it gives you a chance to catch up. The image I have used on this card is from Pollycraft and I have coloured her with my faithful Promarkers and added a little stickles for sparkle. I hope you can join us again this week.

Totally Gorjuss Challenge 57 - Non -Traditional Christmas Colours - DT


Hello! Hope you are all well and having a good start to the week, I am still full of a cold and not feeling great still hence why this post is so late. Saturday saw a new challenge over at Totally Gorjuss and this week's theme is non-traditional Christmas so I decided to add a bit of pink and used a gorgeous image from Mo Manning.

Hello! Hope you are all having a good weekend. I am very late with my posts this week, been out most of the weekend and also full of a cold so not really in the mood for much today.

So we want to see Get Well cards and if you want to send yours to Aunty Sue pop over to the blog to see how you can do it. Sadly Lindsey has left the team this week, we will miss you loads Lindsey especially those gorgeous cards but I am sure I she will be back with us every now and again if I get my own way lol!

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 109 - Sparkle & Shine - DT

Today is a new challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and this week's theme is 'Sparkle and Shine'. I have used Tilda again, I have used her on every card this week but I couldn't resist as there are so many great Christmas Tilda's. The papers used are Basic Grey which can be bought in the Secret Crafter shop along with Promarkers which I have coloured with. I have added tons of sparkle to this card with my Stickles but sadly it hasn't shown up well on the pictures, I really need to master how to take photo's which really pick up the sparkle, any tips would be greatly received. Anyway thank you for taking the time to visit me and leave such lovely comments I really appreciate it and will try my best to come and visit you too.

Totally Gorjuss Challenge 56 - Traditional Christmas Colours - DT

Hello! Today is a new challenge over at Totally Gorjuss and this week's theme is 'Traditional Christmas colours'. I love making Christmas cards in traditional colours, deep reds and greens it is what Christmas is about for me, I love everything about it and cannot wait to get my tree up, I am one of those people that puts it up the first weekend in December and tells everyone it is 'because of the kids' when really it would go up then whether I had kids or not lol! I have used Tilda again in this card and one of my new Whimsey sentiment stamps which I am loving and will be used on every Christmas card I make from now on so I apologise in advance for that! Well I can't wait to visit you all this week and see your gorgeous cards.
