Cupcake and Dutch Dare challenges

Well for this card I have got to use my new Whiff of joy stamp and my Promarkers. It works for 2 challenges as the colours are inspired by cupcake crafts blog and the layout is from Dutch dare. I still need some practice with my promarkers and this did not turn out quite as I wanted but I am still quite happy with it. Inside it says sorry to hear your under the weather

Paper take weekly Dwny's sketch #5 and a couple of other cards

These cards are all loosly based on Dawnys sketch but only the one with the cute polly carft snowman is completely following the sketch. The papers are all left overs from last years christmas stash I had. The images have all been coloured with my new Promarkers I am loving them so much at the moment.

I've got another award!!!

Well I am off work again now for another few days so have been busy crafting with my new christmas craft goodies. I have been very spoilt this Christmas by my lovely familly and friends. My next post will have a couple of cards I have made The last of the Christmas ones I need for when I see my Mum's side of the familly on new years day.

I feel very luck to have been given this award from the incredibly tallented Emma . If you have not seen her cards go and have a look the are gorgeous!!
So the rules are that I pass it on to 5 people and that I list 5 thigs I am addicted to.

My top 5 addictions at the moment are:

1. Promarkers - I got some for christmas and want them all I love them have even taken them to work to colour while on breaks lol

2. Rubber stamping - Sort of links with number one I know but I was luck enough to get a load of Polly craft and Whiff of joy stamps for Christmas too and again I'm just hooked.

3. Didgital Scrapbooking - I have set up another blog for my digi scrapping as I was blog hopping and found this great way of crafting I am hoping to my a familly scrapbok that I can get published through lulu for my familly of all our old pictures and a bit of familly tree info. (There is not much on the other blog yet though)

4. Sing star - completely sad I know but I love to have a god sing along in the privacy of my home where no one else is looking.

5. My Ds - I got it last Christmas and I love it.

The 5 other people I am going to pass this on to are -
Ila
Lynsey
Heidi
Paula
Sue

I'll be back soon with some cards just got to get them off the camera

Cute Card Thursdays challenge - Lilac

This card was a request from a friend who is getting engaged I have been trying to find the inspiration for it for ages and then this challenge came along and I started looking at it a whole different way. By that I mean a whole different colour scheme. I think it turned out ok I hope she likes it.

I have used backing paper and embelishments from my stash and tilda and edwin stamps from the christmas stamp club for the images I have coloured them with H2O so they sparkle and the mistletoe is on some accetate so it moves around.
