I can not believe how generous Karen is with these prises each week. So now on to my card.......


How adorable is this image! I made this for a friend that I was giving cinema vouchers to so it was just perfect. I coloured them with my promarkers to look like her and her partner lol. The image is called "movie date" and is from Karens Doodles. The ticket stubs are from Designers extreme vol II and the sentiment is from craft work cards. The pop corn is from The Greetings Farm "show time" set. I have then used the amazing Martha Stewart stars punch that i got from Crafts and me.
I am also entering this card for the following challenges:
Cupcake craft - Food and drink (the pop corn and drinks)
Dare you 2 digi - No patterned paper
Stamptacular Sunday - Scene it

Karens doodles UK challenge 2 - Easter

It it that time of the week again and time for the second challenge over at Karen's Doodles UK! Thank you to everyone who took part in our first ever challenge and don't forget to check the blog to see if you are a winner.

This week the theme is Easter and remember you can make whatever you like that is Easter related and used one of Karen's gorgeous images ( you can find them all HERE) .
For my card I decided to have a go at a shaker card for the first time and I have to say it was a lot of fun though I need to get some thinner foam tape as the one I have got I had to cut in half to use for this.
The image is Bunny girl and I think she is just soooo cute. I have coloured her with a mix of promarkers and sakura stardust pens so she sparkles in case all the glitter and sequins are not sparkly enough :D
I have kept the rest of the card very simple as I wanted the focus to be on the shaker. The dp is actually a printed card blank from Papermania that I cut up. I have edged the shiny brown card stock with this amazing Martha Stewart punch I got from Crafts and me and added Peel off gold borders and some gems from my stash to finish it off.
Make sure you check out all the rest of the DT's creations as they have made some amazing things to inspire you.
I am also entering this for this weeks A spoon full of Sugar challenge as they also want you to use an Easter theme.

More great news for me and another challenge card

I can not believe how lucky I have been these last couple of days I got home from my night shift this morning and found an email from The very lovely Teresa from Crafts and me offering me a place on her DT which of course I did not even have to think about I sent one back typing as quick as I could taking her up on the offer.
If you have not been to Crafts and me you have to have a look they stock a whole range of crafting goodies and all the best stamps (They are the only seller in the UK to stock the amazing sweetpea stamps, which you may have noticed I am hooked on :D ).

Now onto my card which is for the following challenges:
Sketch and stash - I have used their sketch.
Polly Craft Challenge Blog - They want to see some distressing on your creation and I have distressed round the edges of every DP.
Creative Craft Crew - They want you to create something for celebration.
I have used this super cute image called "Tiger fun" from Karen's Doodles and coloured him with promarkers and then covered the balloons in glossy accents so they are shiny not that you can really see it in the pic. The gold card stock is embossed which adds a bit of texture I got it from a show last year but can't remember now who it was from. The papers are from K&co and the brown dotty one is from papermania. The peel offs and gems are from my stash. I have distressed round all the edges with versa magic chalk ink in turquoise gem colour.

Karen's Doodle DT call

How exciting is this! Karens Doodles is going to have a UK challenge blog and they are looking for a DT now. I only recently found Karens Doodles and I fell in love with them they are so sweet and quirky and brilliant fun to colour. This is oneof the crads I entered for the DT call which you can find HERE you have untill Feb 26th to get your entry in so good luck to anyone who has entered :D
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. I have kept the colours so that I hope it gives the feel of an African plane and it will work for men or women. I have left it blank so that it can work for a whole range of occassions.
