Animals in winter

 Hi guys,

We have a new challenge started today over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of animals.

I have made this card:


The image was coloured with Promarkers only and then die-cut using a die from the works. I added this to a dark green card blank and then simply added snowflakes and a foiled sentiment to finish the card.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Shaped card and Circles

 Well we are in the middle of October already and we have a new challenge just started over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of Shaped cards or circles. I decided to use both on my card this time.


I coloured the image from Dr Digi using Promarker pens before fussy cutting. I used the X-cut nesting large labels dies to shape my base card. I layered some scalloped circles, cut from patterned paper using X-cuts scalloped circles nesting dies, and a die from Marianne Creatables for the sun shaped circle.

Mister Chucky

 I finally put another page of my pet scrapbook together. Unfortunately I no longer have this parrot as I gave him to a parrot rehoming service when him and my now ex-husband starting grating on each other. As you can see from this scrapbook page this wasn't always the case, and this is one of the better memories that I managed to photograph of this little character.


I used a sketch from AHSC for the layout.

Wings to dazzle

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge started today over at Creative Moments with the optional theme of wings and things, and I have made this card with an image from our wonderful sponsor, Mirtillamente.


I coloured my image using promarkers and then die-cut using an x-cut oval nesting die. I die-cut a patterned butterfly paper from a pack I got with a magazine using the scalloped circles x-cut nesting dies. I layered these two together on a pink card base. To finish I added some butterfly stickers in purple and green.

Seahorse duo

 Hi guys,

I made this card a little while ago but never got round to sharing it.


I used a die I have had for a while but have never used that I got from the Range (the seahorse die). I then used my x-cut nesting stitched square dies to create matts for the seahorses, in gold glitter and pale pink cards. I simply layered all the matts together to finish the card.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
TIOT - Animals
AYLI - Square or not - I like square designs as I find the symmetry very pleasing, although I do find they can be a difficult shape to work with sometimes.

Sentimental Christmas

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge over at MAWTT is to keep the sentiment the focus of your creation. Here is what I have created.


I used stencils to create the background for the card with my new pastes. I added a banner sentiment to the centre of the card. I then added flat backed diamantes to the bottom corner to finish.

Stencilled Christmas Fun

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge over at I Love Promarkers starts today with the optional theme of using a stencil. We are sponsored by Colour of Love and here is what I made.


I used a corner stencil with some new pastes I bought when I first moved house (a year ago) and have only just got round to using. I went for green and red as the traditional Christmas colours, as the rest of the card was blues and purples. I coloured the digistamp with a mix of pencils and promarkers and then fussy cut it before adding over the stencilled background. To finish I added a peel-off sentiment.

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