Blog Hop Challenge

Over at Brendas blog she has a special one off blog hop with some amazing prizes from

Sir Stampalot as they are celebrating moving to larger premises...

There is also a challenge to make a card with the theme of 'moving' this can be interperated however you wish

I have made this card for my friends son who will be three at the end of this week

The 'moving' part is the truck as its stated in the blog hop that a vehicle can be an interpretation of 'moving'

well I hope they like my card and fingers crossed that I could win some of that yummy candy on offer

I am also entering this card for the Craft garden challenge which is one for the boys well I will when i work ut how to add my card using the new link lol....

Great Layout, and a little colour tip

I saw the layout for this card on Jacky's blog and asked her if she didnt mind me using it, she said I was welcome to, so made this sweet card with this gorgeous hanglar image....


now I used Forest green and ruby promarkers to colour her coat and trousers but didnt have any darker colours to shade her with so I tried Cool grey 4 just on the darker areas and went over again with the forest green or ruby to blend and was really pleased with the results.....

Allsorts challenge 8 Shaped card

Hello wow that was a fast week and now we are into July and officially into the back end of the year!!!!!!!!!!!
Week 8 at Allsorts and this weeks challenge is from Amanda and is a shaped card (except square or rectangle LOL!!!)
and we have a fantastic sponsor

Pink Petticoat is our sponsor this week and the lovely Liz is giving away a free dowload from the boutique to this weeks lucky winner !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is my shaped card
I made this card for Jack to give to his teacher when he leaves at the end of term

I received this image from the lovely Gro (my Allsorts teamie) and it begged to be used ! well I dont like to see a stamped image on its knees so I said 'go on then'............

I hand cut the card blank using a template i cut from card then cut about 6mm off the edge and drew around it again to make the cream 'inner apple' I used a sissix die to cut the lettering and coloured the image with pro markers........ luv em to bits but I 'need' more......lol!

Good Morning Allsorts challenge 7!!!

Wow week 7 already, its true that time really does fly when you are having fun!!!!!!!

This weeks challenge is by the fabulously talented Jackie and her challenge is to use acetate on your creation........

I made this little 5x5 dream book ,Image is Hanglar and I handstamped the background with a freebie swirl stamp I received with a mag a few months ago, cut two 5x5 covers from acetate inked the edge of a ticket to match the edge of the card stock punched through all the layers and added two rings

My first card is for penny black saturday (embossing) and sketch saturday

I just had to use this dp I found sad and unused in my drawer its so nice don't know how it got overlooked!!

This card is for Passion for promarkers (meadow green and lemon) and creative card crew(whatever the weather)

I used some basic grey papers and this is for the hot weather we are all looking forward to this summer!!

Birthday cards for sisters

These cards are for friends of mine who are sisters and both have birthdays in February

Papers were a free download (will try and find out where from)

Image was coloured with wc pencils and i dotted a few bits of sakura glaze pen on her head scarf and plants to help it co-ordinate with the backing paper better!

flowers,button and leaf were from my stash( i just stamped my sentiment straight onto it),

the strip of paper running through the card is Basic Grey.......

I used cream card stock and printed some brown gingham on one side and cuttlebugged the other flowers are prima and again coloured the image with wc pencils.

ribbon was from stash......

thanks for looking
