New designs...

Good afternoon, crafty friends! We're enjoying some Autumn sunshine here in North Wales and despite the fact that all I would like to do is sit in it with a cup of tea in hand, I have actually been quite busy doing some design work...I know?!…
I have a few new designs in my Etsy store in anticipation of something very exciting which will be happening in the next week or two?!...all will be revealed as soon as possible! But for now, I have a sweet little image and predesigned card kit to share with you all...

There are 5 different variations of the image in both JPEG and PNG files, plus 3 sentiments to play with...all for the exceptional price (in my opinion) of just £2.40...

Then there's the predesigned card kit, which creates 2 6x6 inch cards - one fully decoupaged and then the predesigned panel can be used on an extra card blank to create a flat card...or you could spread the decoupage between the two...great value at just £1.80...

The card kit also comes with a printed insert which has a text box for you to type your own message and the card features two different sentiments - 'Have a Paws-itively perfect day!' and 'Dog-gone it! Not another birthday'...
I hope you like my canine creation and I'll be back soon to share some more designs, but if you can't wait, hop over to my Etsy store to check out what's new!
Crafty hugs,

Passion for Promarkers - Anything Goes...

Good morning, Blogger buddies! No, you haven't got the day wrong?!...I managed to not publish my post yesterday for our new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers...so here goes, better late than never?!…
It would've been the lovely Hazel in the hostess chair this week, but sadly she had to step down from DT duties, so our fabulous Denise has given you all an easy, peasy theme of 'Anything Goes'...
We're being sponsored by A Day for Daisies, who are offering one lucky winner a $12.00 voucher to spend in their store...

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I decided to go festive and chose the pretty 'Christmas Poinsettia'...

I was totally inspired by the ever so talented Lisabeth of Lizland - her cards and colouring are A-MA-ZING! I decided to go with my favourite CAS style and used Picked Raspberry and Candied Apple Distress Inks to create a background. I die cut the word happy from the image panel and added the second part of the sentiment onto a label raised with foam pads. A touch of glitter and some pearls finished the card off and I was done!
I hope you can find the time to join in with our fun challenge this week and look forward to seeing all the wonderful creations...
Until next time, happy crafting...

Rugby boots...

Good afternoon, my lovelies! How about this?! Twice in one day!...

I'm just popping in to share a card using a new digistamp set that I have added to my Etsy store ...

There's 7 files in total for just £2.40 and they're perfect for all those football and rugby fans in our lives...

There is this rugby ball with boots and another image with a football, with and without the grass background, plus all the individual elements for you to play around with in your graphics program...
As you may have guessed, housework didn't stand a chance!?!...

Horsey card...

Good morning, crafty buddies! I have a card order, requested from a friend, to share with you this morning...I was asked to create a horse riding card for a little girl who will be 10. I found this sweet colouring page here and thought it would be perfect for my card...

I used some of the left over scraps from my Sweet Garden Roses paper pad and the polka dot from the Cat design of Animal Antics...

I made a little rosette from pearl green paper and added the number 10. Some fishtails, name plaque and a bit of bling finished the card, along with a touch of glitter on the horse's mane and tail.

The sun is shining here this morning, although there's a definite chill in the air...Autumn is very much on the way! I've got a few crafty bits to finish this morning and then it'll be a toss up whether to do ironing and housework or play at my crafty table...wonder which will win?!
Have a fabulous Friday and I'll be back on the weekend to share our workshop makes...we're doing Christmas?! Argghhhh!
Hugs,

Passion for Promarkers - Anything but a card...

Good morning, Blogger buddies! Well, we're in to September and there is already a definite Autumnal feel to the air...it's back to 'normal' tomorrow as school starts again and I'm hoping I can get some semblance of a routine back?!…
For now, we have a brand new challenge starting over at Passion for Promarkers and this week the lovely Sue has chosen a theme of 'Anything but a card'...some ideas from the DT include a tag, bauble and decorative hanger, but of course, you can make whatever you like and as long as you use your Letraset/Winsor & Newton mediums, you'll be in with a chance of winning this week's sponsor prize which is a choice of 2 digi images from Leann's World 101...

The design team were lucky enough to be able to choose an image to play with and I picked the ever so sweet Thessa and created a box frame scene...

I decoupaged my image and created a sea bed with a torn strip of kraft card, then embellished with some leaf die cuts as seaweed and a few pebbles. I added some pale blue diamantes as bubbles and mounted the image in the frame. I have to say, I really enjoyed colouring this image and was pleased with how she turned out...
I hope you can find the time to play along with our fun challenge and look forward to seeing all your wonderful creations. Have a totally terrific Tuesday, whatever you're up to - I have a plan to catch up with washing and some housework...but I'll see if anything distracts me along the way?!
