LOTV 104

Hi everyone, gorgeous day here so I'm just off out to walk the dogs again. Just a quick post to show an ultra quick card I made this afternoon.

I used :-

Image :- LOTV cute square.

DP :- Tilda.

Roses :- Wild Orchid Crafts.

Pearls :- Hobby House.

Sakura clear glitter gel pen, Promarkers and Distress Inks.

This is for the following challenges :-

Lili of the Valley :- Sketch.
A Spoon Full of Sugar :- Pink and Brown.
One Stitch at a Time :- Anything Goes.
Simon Says Stamp :- Anything Goes.

Do you want to know something? When I finished it I wasn't too keen on it! I love the image and the DP but somehow I didn't like the card very much. I think it's growing on me a wee bit now!

I'm off to walk the boys now. Catch up with you all later.

Totally Gorjuss 86 - Ribbons and Lace.

Good morning everyone and I can hardly believe another week has passed so quickly and it's time for another challenge over at Totally Gorjuss. This week we are sponsored by the generous people at Fantastic Ribbons for out "ribbons and lace" challenge.

I used :-

Image :- Gorjuss Girl from Personal Impressions.

DP :- Tilda.

Colouring :- Promarkers and Sakura glitter gel pen.

Flowers :- Wild Orchid.

Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.

Jewels :- Hobby House.

Ribbon and lace :- Fantastic Ribbons.

Leaves :- Martha Stewart punch.

I'm hoping to enter the following challenges with this card :-
Create4fun :- Sketch.
Crafty Creations :- Let it shine - add some sparkle.
A Spoon Full of Sugar :- Ribbon and bows.

I love my new Gorjuss Girl! The set also includes a little sentiment tag, a heart and a bow. It's a clear set, really easy to use and stamps to give a really crisp image.

Hope you like and thanks for looking. We had some lovely cards last week with pearls and swirls so I'm looking forward to seeing your cards and projects using ribbon and lace this week.

House Mouse 97 Adorn with Jewels.

Don't you just love this image? These little mice are so sweet, aren't they. I love House Mouse images!  They are some of my favourites along with Penny Blacks and Hero Arts. So I just had to join in with the challenge at House Mouse which is "adorn with jewels" - add lots of bling.

I used :-

Image :- House Mouse.

Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.

DP :- Tilda.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

Pearls :- Hobby House.

Lace & ribbon :- Ribbon Girl.

Flower :- Wild Orchid.

Sakura glitter gel pen, Glamour Dust and nesties.

I'm also entering the following challenges :-

ABC :- W is for Wedding.
Pollycraft :- Ribbon and flowers.
Passion for Promarkers :- Here comes the bride.

Hope you like! I think this is quite a sweet image for a wedding card. It's also good for an engagement card or a Valentine so quite a versatile image.

Now I need to think up something for a Get Well card. My friend's husband is going in to hospital for an operation tomorrow. I think it's more difficult to make a Get Well card for a man, or is it just me? I'll really need to check out my stamps lol! I've got some really cute LOTV stamps but I'm not sure if one of them would be ok or not.

Hope I can get time to do some more cardmaking after tea. I still have ironing to do so I might do that first and get it out of the way.

Catch up with you all later I hope.

Christmas Tilda in Pink.

Hi everyone. I've made another Christmas card! Not happy with this one though. I found a great sketch at Sketch and Stash but I don't think I've done it justice.I wanted to enter the Christmas Tilda in pink challenge over at Die Cut Dreams Christmas Club so I made this card in a bit of a hurry this morning after I'd been very good and done my housework lol! That was a mistake because I was an hour too late! It also fits the challenge at Pollycraft which is Christmas with no red or green.

I used:-

Image :- Tilda.

DP :- Forever Friends.

Sentiment and card candy :- Craftwork Cards.

Colouring :- Promarkers and Sakura clear glitter gel pen.

Snowflake :- Sizzix.

Jewels :- Hobby House.

I hope this makes sense because I haven't got my glasses on and I really should have them to read what I'm typing lol!! I have other cards to post that I made yesterday but I'll need to shoot now if I want to have some lunch before I go to work.

Sketch Saturday 67

Just a quick post with a last minute card for Saturday Sketchers. I don't think it was one of my better ideas to decide to make a card for a challenge at nearly 10 o'clock at night!! Dreadful picture again but I'll replace it tomorrow. This was a good sketch to follow and isn't Tilda lovely with her pot of strawberries. I have to admit that I got some colour outside the lines when I watercoloured her hair and that is why she has a flower shaped jewel in her hair lol. I used some DPs from the Paper Company and jewels, flower and little pearls are from my stash. Nesties have been used to cut out the rectangle and circles and I added stickles to the flower.

Hopefully I can try to get a better photo tomorrow. I seem to say that all the time. I really need to mend my ways and not be at the last minute all the time. Well maybe not all the time but often enough. It's worse when you don't always know when the closing time is. OK if it is UK time but worse if you have to try to figure it out for another country. Also not all challenge blogs tell you when the closing time is, sometimes just the day. Would be handy to know for definite. Does anyone else agree? Also it would be handy if there was a clock with the time for whatever country the closing time was for eg USA or wherever.

Best go and post this now and enter the challenge and quit prattling!!

Have a good weekend girls, maybe see you tomorrow.

Saturday now and I've changed the photo. Maybe not much better but I think the DPs are quite difficult to get a good photo of!!
