Banner Time

 Hey guys,

Our new challenge starts today over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme to add a banner.

Here is my creation, using an image from Last Minute Manda who is our wonderful sponsor.

I used a patterned paper I found in my stash as the background. After colouring the gnome with the promarkers (to be listed below) I fussy cut him to add to the card base. I then cut out the banner topper.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

ATSM #501 Make your mark

Thanks for looking,

Trees at Christmas

 Hi there,

Our September challenge started yesterday over at Creative Moments, with the optional theme of adding trees to your creation.

Here is my Christmas creation for this challenge theme;


I wanted to use up some of my stash, so I used a new green base card (it looks grey in this photo for some reason) and an old paper pack that was free with a magazine. I used X-cut large label dies to cut the patterned paper. I then cut a tag from the topper section of the paper pack. I pierced a hole through the card and added the star brad. Finally I added a sentiment sticker to the card front.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Gnome at Halloween

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge has started over at I Love Promarkers with the optional theme of Gnomes. We are sponsored by the wonderful Polkadoodles and here is my creation.


I coloured the image using Promarkers and then fussy cut her out. I took a plain white oval die-cut and used distressed sprays in Ocean Spray and Iced Spruce, after using a shimmer body spray over the shape. I layered my witch gnome over the top of this and then added liquid pearl drops to the sky. As I often do I have left the sentiment off to be added once the card is allocated to a recipient.

Thanks for looking,

Butterflies/Dragonflies

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge starts today over at MAWTT. We had a break while blog ownership changed hands but we are now back in full force :)

Here is my creations for this months challenge:

It is coming to the end of summer and we will be seeing the last of these for the remaining months of the year, so what better theme to have for September?!

I used my die-cuts on some x-cut self-adhesive glitter paper. I also used a Marianne Designs die to create the flower, using mirror card and self-adhesive glitter paper. To finish I used a metallic ink pad for The Range and a stamp set that came free with a magazine.

We hope you can join us for Septembers theme - check out the link above for more details.
