Cute Card Thursday #127 & Delicious Doodles Special Challenge & CES #1 & Lisa's Celebration Challenge

Hi again girls. back to the normal weekly routine after the holiday weekend. I hope you all had a great time and are fit and raring to go. I am glad you have time to pop in here and I hope you enjoy your visit.
The card above was made with four challenges in mind. Cute Card Thursday had the theme "Dying for a Punch" where we were not allowed to use Nesties or punches or dies but were urged to go back to basic principles to cut our shapes. I used compasses and cut the circles and used pinking shears to edge the red square. Teri at Delicious Doodles is running a special Birthday Challenge using any of her digi images, Crafty Emma's Store where the theme for her very first challenge was "Anything goes" and Lisa at Mess2Magic has a special challenge to celebrate getting to 150 Followers with a theme of "Ladybugs" so I hope the red and black combo qualifies. I chose "Poppies" by Teri and coloured them with my Polychromos Pencils. I used a thick black velvet ribbon to make a double bow as an embellishment but it hasn't come out too clearly on the photograph unfortunately. It looks so much better in real life.
I hope you like this card and have the time and inclination to leave me a comment to let me know what you think of it. I love reading them.
Thank you for spending time here and I hope you day goes well. Stay safe and healthy.
Love and Hugs,

Papertake Weekly & Creative Card Crew & Crafty Creations #82 & Winter Wonderland

Hi girls.I can hardly believe that it the August Bank Holiday already. The time have flown in this year. I am so pleased that you could spare a minute to pop in to see what is on offer on my blog today. I hope you are not disappointed.
My eldest son and family went home yesterday and everything is so quiet. We had a great time and I got a lot of crafting done with Sarah (Lil-paper-pixie). I think my stash survived.
This card was made to enter four challenges. Papertake Weekly gave a recipe with a 3-2-1 theme, Creative Card Crew wanted our cards to "Sparkle and Shine", Crafty Creations wanted 3 Papers, 2 Ribbons and 1 Charm which fits neatly with the first challenge and Winter Wonderland where the theme is "All I want for Christmas".
I inked up Lili of the Valley's "James Bear - Pile of Presents" and coloured him using my Copic Ciaos. I used a Dovecraft Blizzard paper and an unknown paper and created the third by running a pale blue one through my Sizzix Bigshot in a Cuttlebug Snowflake folder. The ribbons and charm are from my srash. I cut snowflakes with a punch from a sparkly card and put sparkle on the fur troms on James' hat.
I hope you like this card and might be able to find time to leave me a comment. I love reading what you have to say. I get so much help and inspiration from you all.
Please enjoy what is left of your holiday weekend and stay safe and healthy.
Love and Hugs,

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #35

Hi girls. thanks for calling in to see me. I hope you like today's offering. I must apologise that I was a bad blogger yesterday. We had a family day out in Perth before my son and his family go back home to Solihull so I never got any commenting done. I will catch up with you all over the weekend - promise!!
This card was made for the Sunday Sketch and Stamp challenge. It is based on the fantastic sketch that Emma gave us to follow. The image is Lili of the Valley's "New Hat" and she is coloured with my Copics and Polychromos Pencils. The paper is Stampin Up's "Teatime". I have used Wild Orchid flowers and crsystals and the rest of the embellishments are from my stash.
If you have the time to leave a comment I would love to hear what you think of this card. Your views are always welcome and are much valued.
Enjoy your weekend, have a great time crafting if you get the chance and stay safe and healthy.
Love & Hugs,

Penny Black #115 & DT Call

Hi girls. It's Friday already - just where does the time go. This week has flashed by. I think having the family here has made this week a whirl. I hope that your visit here will be rewarding and that you will find something to please the eye.
I made this card for the Penny Black challenge, where we were given a fantastic sketch as a basis to work to. I have inked up Penny Black's "Hand Mailed" and coloured it using my Copic Ciaos. The papers are DCWV Inc, "The Christmas Multi Stack" and some plain red card I have used as a mount. The ribbon is from Stampin Up and the snowflakes were punched with a Martha Stewart punch. The flowers, pearls and red sakura glaze are all from my stash.
I hope you like this card enough to leave me a comment. Your views are important to me and I love reading what you have to say.

DT Call

Now I just want you to be aware that my dear friend Teri at Teri's Cards and Toppers has decided that it's time to set up a Design Team to showcase her fantastic digi images at Delicious Doodles. If you are interested why not click on the link and pop over to get the details.

Friday Sketchers #116 & Stampin for the Weekend #45

Hi girls, great to have you visit my blog. I hope you like what you find. I have been struggling to find time for my blog hopping and comment leaving this week with the family here. I think I have just about caught up. If I have inadvertently missed you I will be there soon.
I made this card for two challenges. Friday Sketchers provided the fantastic sketch and Stampin for the Weekend had the theme of "Anything goes". I have inked up Magnolia's "Tilda with Bicycle" and coloured her using my Copics. I have done her in green shades because I very rarely do green and I fancied a change. The papers are Lush Floral paper and the reverse sides of two more My Mind's Eye papers. I used two shades of green Bazzil Bling as mounts to give a bit of definition. The embellishments are cut from textured cream card using a Marianne Design Creatable. The corners are cut using a Woodware Craft punch. Everything else is from my stash. I hope you like this card and have time to leave me a comment telling me what you think. I love to read your views - I find them so helpful.
Enjoy your day and stay safe and healthy.

Love and Hugs,

Cute Card Thursday # 126 & CRAFT #64 & Charisma Cardz & MAWTT #60

Hi girls, It's great to have you here on my blog. I must apologise that I was a poor blogger yesterday but with the family up on holiday I did not get a chance to do any comments. I will try to do better today.
Before I forget I received the "Cherry on Top" Award again today from Lisa over at Mess2Magic. Thank you so much Lisa, I appreciate your kind thought.
I made this card to enter 4 challenges. I used Cute Card Thursday's sketch and got the colours from C.R.A.F.T.'s photo inspiration. Charisma Cardz wanted die cuts and Moving along with the Times wanted glitter - I don't think the glitter shows terribly well in the photograph. The image is Sugar Nellie's "Windswept" coloured with my Copics. The gorgeous papers are all unknown because I was given them by my crafting buddy Alison. I cut the corners using a Cuttlebug die and the embellishments are all from my stash.
I enjoyed making this card and I hope you like it. Perhaps you can find an extra minute to leave a comment to let me know what you think. I really value your opinions.
Thanks for calling in and I hope you have a successful day. Have a great time and stay safe and healthy.
Love and Hugs,

The image is Magnolia's "Fairytale - Elf Tilda" coloured using my Copics and Polychromos Pencils. The papers are My Mind's Eye's "Pretty Please", one that was free with a magazine and Bazzil Bling as a mount. The butterflies (difficuly to see on the photograph because the are quite sheer) are cut with a Martha Stewart punch. The flowers are handmade and the ribbon and glitter are from my stash.
I hope you like this card and look forward to reading your opinions on it if you are kind enough to leave a comment.

Papertake Weekly #46 & Creative Card Crew & A Spoonfull of Sugar #117

Hi girls, the start of another week already - time is just flying in. It's good of you to call in here. Hope fully your effort will not be unrewarded. Tha family are here and things are chaos. Two extra adults, 2 extra teenagers and 3 extra dogs. Oh the fun in our house.
I made this card with three challenges in mind. Papertake Weekly gave us a fabulous sketch, Creative Card Crew wanted "Sparkle and Shine" and A Spoonfull of Sugar asked for "Christmas in August". The image is Lili of the Valley's "Skating Along" coloured with my trusty Copics. The wee dog looked a bit like our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel so I coloured it accordingly. I used a pearlised paper that I put through my Sizzix in a Cuttlebug Snowflake folder and used plain card as a mount. The corners are punched with a Martha Stewart punch.

The embellishments are cut using a Sissix poinsettia die and the pearls, ribbon and sentiment are all from my stash.

Fussy & Fancy Friday #17

Hi girls, Thanks for dropping in. I hope all is well with you and that you are having a good day. I went to hospital yesterday and although the consultant was pleased with me he said I was to stay on the oxygen machine for the next six months at least, albeit on a slightly reduced rate of oxygen. I have also been given an overnight monitor to put on to see what happens to my blood oxygen while I'm sleeping (let's hope I sleep better than I have been recently).
We are getting toward the end of the week already and it's time to post a card for a Friday challenge. I intend to enter this one into Fussy & Fancy Friday since I based it on the fabulous sketch they gave us. It's the first time I have entered this challenge and I love the detail they put in the sketch.
I have inked up Magnolia's "Midsummer Tilda Dancing" and coloured her using my Copics and Polychromos Pencils. The papers are from Papermania's Capsule Collection. I used Marianne Design and Creatables to make the swirls and the panel on which to stamp Tilda. The flowers are from my stash. I trust that you will like this card enough to let me know what you think of it. Your opinions are valued and I always look forward to reading what you say.
Remember that today is day 5 of Teri's digi giveaway over at Delicious Doodles. So nip over and see what is on offer today by clicking on the advert in my sidebar and get the details of Teri's competition to win 10 of her fantastic digi images. Her artwork is amazing.

A Spoonfull of Sugar #116

Hi girls. Thanks for calling in to my blog. Hopefully you will find something you like. I appreciate your visit. Well after all my moaning recently yesterday produced some of the best weather that we have had all summer. Glorious sunshine and not too much wind. So moaning is over (at least till it rains). I got out into the garden to sit - or as far into the garden my oxygen tube would let me go and thouroughly enjoyed it. I hope you had a good day as well. I know some of you had big plans for the weekend so I hope the weather was kind to you.
I made this card for the current challenge over at A Spoonfull of Sugar following the sketch they gave. I have used one of my Lili of the Valley stamps called "On the Garden Wall" and coloured it using a mixture of Copics and Poly chromos Pencils. The more eagle eyed of you will notice that I have added a flower to her hat - I thought it needed it. The papers are From Paper Mania's Capsule Collection plus one that was a freebie in a magazine. The embellies are all from my stash, the flowers being from Wild Orchid.
If you have time it would be much appreciated if you could leave a comment to tell me what you think of this card. I love reading what you have to say.
Finally, a reminder that my friend Teri over at Delicious Doodles is on the second day of her week giving away a freebie each day. Why not pop over by clicking on the advert in my sidebar to see what is available today and while you're there have a look at her fantastic artwork.

Winter Wonderland Challenge

Hi girls. Great to have you here on by blog. Thanks for taking the time to call. I hope you enjoy my creations and find a bit of inspiration here. The weather is still confused about what it's supposed to be doing so there's nothing for it but to stay indoors and carft.

This is a slightly longer post today because I have gone overboard with the piccies The card was made to enter the current Winter Wonderland challenge which asks for an Easel card with Sparkle and Shine.

I used Lili of the Valley's "" and coloured it using my Copic Ciaos. The papers are from The Dovecraft 8x8 Designer Pad. The large snowflakes were cut from sparkly paper using a Martha Stewart punch. The photographs don't show the glitter very well but it is there. The photo above shows the front face of the card in close up and the one below shows the base.

The embellishments are all fron my stash. I enjoy making easel cards so I hope you like this latest offering. If you have a minute to spare I would be delighted if you left a comment to let me know what you think. You are all so encouraging and I love reading your ideas and opinions.

Love and Hugs,

LOTV #59 & Charisma Cardz #32

Hi girls, it's great to have you calling into my wee corner of the web. I enjoy knowing that you have been here and I hope you like what you find here.
I am ready to give up with this weather - it just can't make it's mind up what it wants to be. Still we don't need the sun to craft indoors so mustn't complain too much.
Now I am taking a risk posting this card. It's for my grandson Jonathan's birthday which is not till tomorrow. I don't think he'll see this early and the photograph doesn't show the surprise inside anyway so all should be well.
I am entering it into two challenges. Firstly Lili of the Valley who provided the wonderful sketch I followed and Charisma Cardz who wanted "Teddy Bears". The images LOTV's "" and is coloured using my Copic Ciaos. The papers were all freebies in the Making Cards magazine. I haven't gone for any fancy embellishments - I didn't think Jonathan would appreciate my fancy flowers Lol.
I hope you like it and that you might have a spare minute to leave me a comment. I appreciate so much knowing who has been here and what you think of my creation. I value your opinions and love reading what you think.
Enjoy your day, stay safe and keep crafting.

Love and Hugs,

1 Card, 4 Challenges

Hi girls. By now the weekend seems so far away. I hope you had a great time and have settled into the weekly routine. What happened to the sunshine and dry weather - gone, gone, gone. Oh well I have your visit to cheer me up.
I made this card to enter into 4 challenges (I think that's a record for me). Truly Scrumptious had the theme "Golden Oldie" where we were to use one of our older stamps, Crafty Creations wanted something with a "Wedding or Anniversary" theme, Creative Inspirations gave us a recipe to use 5 flowers, 3 papers and 1 ribbon and finally Simon Says... had the theme "Sing it Baby" where we had to build in a song. The first three are easily satisfied with this card and I hope that it suits the last challenge by evoking the sentiments of two songs, both called "The Wedding Song", one by Bob Dylan, the other by Julie Rogers.
The image is Lili of the Valley's "Wedding Carriage" coloured using my Copic Ciaos. I got this stamp when it first came out and have loved it ever since. The three papers are both sides of an unknown double sided paper and a pearlised cream paper I have embossed using a Cuttlebug "Divine Swirl" folder to give texture. I also used peach card as a mount. The flowers are from Wild Orchid.
I enjoyed making this card so I hope you like it. It would be much appreciated if you could find a minute to leave me a comment to let me know what you think of it. I value what you have to say.
Thanks for calling in. Have a great day and stay safe and healthy.

Hugs & Kisses,

Creative Card Crew & Papertake Weekly

Hi girls. Great to have you popping in to my wee blog. I hesitate to say this but we actually had enough sun today for me to sit outside for a couple of hours. Is it possible we are going to get some decent weather for a spell? - time will tell.
I did manage to get a card made though. Truth to tell I didn't sleep well overnight Saturday to Sunday and got up early and managed to get this done. I intend to enter it into two challenges. Creative Card Crew want something "Cute and Girly" and Papertake Weekly are asking for "White and Bright". The image is Lili of the Valley's "Hello Gorgeous" and is coloured with a mixture of Copics and Polychromos Pencils. The papers are all freebies from magazines and the flowers are from Wild Orchid. I used a Martha Stewart double edged doily punch for the border across the centre of the card although not much of it is not seen.
I do hope you like this enough to take the extra time to leave a comment. I love reading what you have to say and I value your opinions. Thank you so much for calling in. I hope that you have an enjoyable and productive day and above all stay safe.
Hugs,

Mojo Monday #150

Hi there girls. Thanks for popping round to my blog. I hope you find something to please the eye and give just a little inspiration. I know I get a lot from the blogs I visit. Believe it or not after a dull start Saturday was quite a bright day - was that summer I wonder?
I made this card to enter it into the Mojo Monday challenge. They gave a fantastic sketch to follow this week and I couldn't resist having a go. I have inked up Lili of the Valley's "Born to Shop" and coloured it using my Copic Ciaos. The papers are "Lemonade - Flower Garden" by Basic Grey, Papermania's "Capsule Collection" and some unknown papers I probably got in a magazine. The flowers are handmade - I experimented with a different method this time. Everything else is from my stash.
I hope you like this card enough to leave me a comment letting me know what you think. I really enjoy reading what you have to say.
I appreciate you taking the time to call in and I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend. I hope the weather is kind to you and that you get the opportunity to do a bit of crafting.
