Another card for 3 challenges

For this card I have used the brilliant sketch from this weeks Mo's Digital pencil challenge. The image is a digi from of course Mo's Digital Pencil isn't she just too cute! I have coloured her with pro markers. The colour combo is based on this weeks Colour Create challenge which is red,black and off white. The paper is from Summertime Designs and is another freebie set called so this is love. I have then just finished off the card with these very pretty pearls which means that this card also fits for this weeks Dare you 2 digi. Sorry about the bad pic I just couldn't get enough light on it :(

Time for a few more challenge cards

I have been working away today trying to catch up on as many challenges as possible :D
This first card is for the following challenges:
Pink Elephant - I have used their great sketch.
Anyone for Anya - They wanted to see something different well I have done a couple as I only ever stamp in black normally and I have never not coloured the image but I quite like it.
Anya Ink - I have used their gorgeous colour combo of blue, grey and cream.
Cupcake craft - Want you to create something for a friend.



I have used this adorable Twinkle Tots girl from The Greetings Farm and the sentiment is also from another TGF set. I have stamped them in whispers blue ink. The stunning papers are from a free digi set by the amazing Summertime Designs called Winter wonderland.


This next card is a lot brighter and I have used this super cute freebie image from Karen's Doodles you can pick him up by signing up to follow her PCP page and trust me if you are not signed up to it already you don't know what you are missing there are even more great freebies like this to find as well as the fact getting all the news. I have coloured him with promakers and sakura star dust pens for all the confetti so that it sparkles :D I have decoupaged the mouse and some of the balloons to give it extra depth. Then added glossy accents to all the balloons. The papers are from the brilliant Designers extreme vol II.This is for the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly - I have used their sketch
Crafty cardmakers - I have used a triatic colour scheme of red, blue and yellow ( you will have to check their blog to see how to work out the colour scheme.





Sorry this is a marathon post but we are half way now so well done if you have made it this far.

My third card is I know very early but it is my first Christmas card of the year. I have used this lovely elf that I fell in love with as soon as I saw him he is by Amy Young and you can get your hands on him at All That Scraps. I have again coloured him with a mix of promarkers and sakura pens to make the star sparkle. The papers are from another free set by Summertime Designs called thanks for giving and the frame is also from the same set. This is for the following challenges:

My Time to craft - In the frame well my little elf is hanging out of his frame.

C.R.A.F.T. - Ribbon and sparkle, I have added the sakura stardust to the star so it sparkles and the gold ribbon as above.
ABC Christmas challenge - E is for Elf




It's Ok this is the last one I promise at least until tomorrow. I have used this adorable image from Karen's Doodles and again coloured them with pro markers. The papers are from Designers extreme vol II. The flowers and peel offs are from my stash.

It's a crafters companion challenge and DT call

This time over at It's a Crafters Companion Challenge Blog the challenge is to use the following 2 pictures as inspiration:


And on top of that use buttons and glitter. So I have kept with the purple and black colour theme and this super cute zebra from crafters companion boys cd has stripes like the stripey socks. The paper is from funky hand and I have used a sakura silver stardust pen to add a glitter dot to the centre of each star. The sentiment is from The Greetings Farm and I have stamped it with brilliance ink on to the black card so it sparkles. I am also entering this card for this weeks Sketch and stash challenge as I have used their amazing layout.



They also have a DT call at the moment so if you are like me and love all things crafters companion why not try out. I have made the following card for the DT call it is based on the previous challenge which was a brilliant sketch again I have used another image from crafters companion boys cd and this time the bug paper is also from the same disc. The yellow paper is from crafters companion oriental disc.


I think I should be on the DT as I really do love crafters companion and I have most of their discs so should easily be able to make a project or card for every challenge using their goodies. Also I love to blog hop and leave comments for people. I am not afraid to take on any challenge in fact I enjoy having to work something out and trying new things.

Thank you Emma for my gorgeous new look blog :D

I am just loving my new look blog it is so much more fresh and fun and it is all thanks to the amazing Emma who sorted it all out for me.

The Giraffes are from Karens Doodles I have coloured them with promarkers and then used these diffrent shiney papers from my stash to create the layout.

She is Sweet pea's Ching-Chou kuik's Dark Royalty and I got her from the lovely Teresa at Crafts and me. I know I am still stuck on the love theme but I just couldn't resist.

Club Anya and friends - Gettin' sketchy

I have used another sketch for this card this time from Club Anya And Friends. I loved using this sketch and am sure I will be using it again. I had an order from a friend at work for a card for her Goddaughter's 18th so thought I would combine the 2. I have used this super cute digi Dressy Ebony from The Greetings Farm. I have coloured her with promarkers and added some pearls to the flower in her hair. The backing paper is again from crafters companion this time the oriental discs.

Cards for men

This time over at cards for men there is a brilliant sketch to follow. I have used this cute little spaceman from Crafters companion guy's cd and the paper is also from there. Sorry the picture is terrible I could not get the light right. The sentiment is just a silver peel off that says happy birthday and the spaceman is decoupaged.

Ok I know this is not much of a pile for but I hope it still counts as it is more than one challenge when I add it to Passion for Promarkers all creatures great and small challenge. My creature is this stunning mermaid Ching-Chou kuik's September Rhythm from Crafts and me I have coloured her in summery coloured promakres as Pile it on want to see no more winter colours and added touches of sparkle with my sakura stardust pens. The flowers brads and pearls are from my stash and the papers are from crafters companion Oriental discs and Funky hand (I think it was their too funky disc but I printed it a while ago).

Cute card Thursday spots and dots and Daring card maker amethyst

I have used another of the gorgeous Sweetpea stamps that I got from Crafts and me for this weeks Cute Card Thursday challenge which is to include spots and dots in your card. I am also entering this for Daring Cardmakers challenge, they want you to use the colour Amethyst. I have embossed the black card I have put behind the image with my cuttlebug swiss dot folder and have left the rest of the card quite plane as I think this Ching-Chou kuik's Dance of Butterfly stamp says it all. I have coloured her with a mix of promarkers and sakura stardust pens so she sparkles. I mounted her on some embossed gold then black card and used foam pads to make it stand out a bit more.

Another Valentines card

Quixotic Paperie Challenge Blog wants us to make a valentines card I was lucky nought to get this super cute stamp from ebay the other day secondhand and it was great to colour. The backing paper is from Lili of the valley and I have coloured the image with my promarkers. The pearl hearts and peel offs are from my stash.

Lili of the valley - Valentines

There are a lot of Valentines challenges around at the moment but that is OK as I don't think you can ever get too much of love and romance :D Over at Lilli of the valley they are looking for you to make a valentines card so I have used this adorable image from Lili of the Valley that is pre coloured and just kept it very simple making my own sentiment with peel off letters from my stash. The patterned card blank is from papermania.

Polly craft - Things with Wings and Creative craft crew

OK so I am officially hooked on these beautiful stamps from Sweet pea. This is yet another card with the stunning ching-chou kuik's Love is Gone stamp that I got from Crafts and me (my new fav craft online store thanks Teresa). She is just perfect for this weeks challenge at Polly Craft as they want to see things with wings and it also works for this weeks challenge set by the Creative Craft Crew which is a valentines theme. This time I have gone for a more subtle girly colour combo with the pastel pink and green. I have coloured her with a mix of promarkers and sakura stardust pens so she sparkles and mounted her on foam pads. The stamp behind her with I love you in the shape of a heart was in a bulk lot I got from ebay so I am sad to say I can not tell you where it is from. Then I have chalked round the edge of it with sparkly chalks from papermania. To finish it off I added the 2 rows of card candy's from craft work cards then added the peel offs .

Do you believe?

I am so excited! As you may already know the lovely Amy Young asked me to be her first Sweet November Guest designer for her amazing Feb release which you can now get your hands on. One of the places you can find these sweet stamps is Quixotic Paperie and this week over on their
Challenge Blog they are looking for all of you that believe in fairy's to show them off as they are celebrating the sweet November range. I have got to be a GDT for this challenge only and show off some more of Amy's creations.
For this card I have used papers from funky fairy and my fairy of choice is Tangle Goblinshimmer I have coloured her with promarkers and sakura gel and stardust pens.

Stampin' for the weekend is all loved up

What a brilliant response we had to our last challenge everyone's takes on Fiona's sketch were so different I had a great time blog hopping around and looking at them all :D
This time we are feeling the love and want to see some valentine or love inspired projects. There is a wealth of inspiration from the DT and this week we have an amazing GDT Shirley and if you haven't seen her blog before make sure you click the link and check her out.

The prise up for grabs is a massive $25 gift voucher from the brilliant Simon Says Stamp

For my card I have used this super cute little guy from Whiff of joy I was lucky enough to get him for Christmas (but if you are looking to get it in the UK you should speak to Teresa from Crafts and me as she stocks the WOJ range) and can see that he will be cropping up on a lot of cards. Th paper is from papermania the pearly hearts are from my stash and the sentiment I made on the computer.
