Warm Wishes

I decided to have a play with the Sara Davies Autumn Morning Signature Collection.  I have created a card and matching pillow box.

Everything is from the Signature Collection except the ribbon and little sentiment on the pillow box which is from Craftwork Cards.

I created the pillow box with a Tonic die.

I think Autumn is my favourite season, I love the colours and sometimes the weather can be really nice - not too hot and not too cold.

Christmas Kisses

It's time for a new challenge at Christmas with the Cuties and the theme this month is Cute Couples.

I used the adorable Snowman Couple image from our sponsor Bugaboo to create my card.

I coloured my couple with a combination of ProMarkers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator Pens.  I then added glitter to the Snowladies hat and the snow on the ground along with some 3D Crystal Lacquer to their buttons.

I cut them out with a Sue Wilson pierced square die and layered them up onto some green card stock, I repeated with another layer of white and green card stock before attaching them to my card front.  The sentiment is from Kraftwork cards layered onto a Tattered Lace Charisma Frames 2 die cut from the green card stock.

Make sure you pop over to the Christmas with the Cuties challenge blog and take a look at the Design Team inspiration, we would love for you to join us for our Cute Couples challenge.

I would like to enter this card into the August Rudolph Days Challenge, the theme is Anything Christmas Goes.

Just for You

It's time for a new challenge at Ooh La La Creations and the theme for the next fortnight is Spring is in the Air.

I have used the Ooh La La Creations Yesterday's Memories CD to create my card.

The image and papers are from the Snowdrop and Blue Flowers collection on the CD, I distressed the edges of the image and added a doily and some fussy cut flowers.

The sentiment is a Kraftwork Cards stamped sentiment, the little pearls and twine are from my stash.  I also added an insert from the CD.

Photographer Ted

It's time for a new challenge at Di's Digi Designs and the theme for the next fortnight is Lots of Green.

I chose to use the super Photographer Ted image and some papers from Polkadoodles to create my card.

I coloured Ted with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator Pens, I love these pens - I wasn't keen on the original Spectrum Noir Markers but these are so much better, I've managed to collect them all now.

The sentiment is from Kraftwork cards and the buttons and twine are from my stash.

Make sure you pop over to Di's Digi Designs and check out the new website.

Anyone for Golf!

It's time for a new challenge at Ooh La La Creations and the theme for the next fortnight is For a Man or Boy.

I have used a topper and papers from the All Dressed Up CD again, this time I have used one of the masculine collections.

I cut the golf topper out with an oval die and created a layer of decoupage.  I added distress ink to both the topper and the papers to create a more vintage feel.  The sentiment is from Kraftwork cards and I made my own card candi.

Jingle Bells

I used one of the free papers for the background scene and one of the toppers, the sentiment is from Kraftwork cards.

Thanks for everything

This is a card that I made for my son to give to his Family Support Worker at school.  She is much more than the job title suggests though - she really does make a difference at the school and any problems, no matter how small, she will sort them out.  She has also been assisting with his transition to college in September, taking him and some other pupils on visits and ensuring that everything is in place to support their special needs.

I used another of my Woodware Huge stamps and papers from Kraftwork Cards.

I decorated a Kraft gift bag to go with the card.

I would like to enter my card and gift bag in to the following challenges:
