Crafty Calender- June Challenge!

Gosh, I'm so late with my post this month!! :( eek ):


Well it was the first Friday of the month a few days ago so that means a new Crafty Calender Challenge!!! And this month we have the theme of Bugs and Beasties!! No don't worry- i know it sound difficult but think of all the routes you could go down... insect card for a man, butterflies,
ladybirds, the possibilities are endless! :D We are sponsored by Di's Downloads this month and she is offering some fab digi images as a prize so come on down and join the challenge.




For my card i went down the girly route with butterflies and chose this gorgeous Sarah Kay stamp ( one of the new Stampavie range that Lyndsey- Lora Crafts now stocks in her shop! )
I've coloured her with promarkers and the lovely backing papers are K+Co Madeline. The gorgeous roses are also from Lora Crafts aswell as the pins, papers and pro-markers ( which you can also buy separately ) The card came together quickly and i think i'm pleased with the result.

I'm entering my card into a few more challenges too:

1. Charisma Cards: Flowers
2. Cupcake Craft: Summer Delights

That's all this morning, i'm off for a blog hop now, thanks for visiting please leave a comment if you have time, and pop down to the challenge blog to see my felow Dt's creations!

Good Morning. I can't believe how long it's been scince my last post- i've been so busy and very productive! The demo day went well and i showed people how to make boxes and cards and how to blend promarkers together so i was extremely chuffed!

I had a few goodies too including the new " spring fling " WRS papers ( which are gorgeous xx ) and a PJ stamp aswell as some embellishments of course!! So this card features all the new products. You can buy everything i've used on this card from Lyndsey at Lora Crafts- apart from the large pearls which i bought from an Ebay Shop. The ribbon is lush isn't it lol? I love the checked design and i just added it on top of the raffia for some added detail and texture.

Here's the gorgeous images and the promarkers i've used:

Good Evening everyone, hope your all well. Gosh, just when the weather was looking on the bright side... it starts to rain! It's been sooooooo cold today... brrrrr, so i made a commisioned card snug and warm in my craft room/ bedroom ;D I've made an easel card for this weeks Creative Inspirations Challenge, and guess what- i didn't use a Tilda! :D I can't believe it; i'd become so addicted but i couldn't put my Anyas to the side and i've bought a few digi's recently and i LOVE them!

I've used my Basic Grey Sugar Rush papers again- so i can enter my card into this weeks BG Challenge too which is a photo inspiration. Another challenge my card fits into is this weeks Charisma Challenge which is girly- i think i qualify! lol. And Anyone For Anya- Lotsa Layers.

I've coloured this gorgeous Anya with Pro-markers and highlighted with my inkessentials white gel pen.

Something Different (with lots of pics!)

Hi everyone, well as the title suggested i've created something a little different.... perfect for this weeks Papertake Weekly Challenge!! I'm also enetering it into this weeks A Spoon Full Of Sugar Challenge where the thme if 3-D :D Well, i've never gone O.T.T on my cards but i really wanted to make a box to complement a card i made yesterday that i was very proud of. It's using one of the cute pirate Tilda's one of blogging friends sent to me. For a change, i coloured her with pencils and only used promarkers for the skin tones! And i used colours i defiantly wouldn't use but there's so many combo's in my BG Sugar Rush pad i can experiment! Sorry for the amount of pics! :D

This is the card on it's own:

I kept the layout quite simple, only adding the odd pearls and bow on the side. And here's a close-up of how i've coloured Tilda: she looks so sweet! :D I've coloured her with pencils for a change and only used my usual of promarkers for the skin tones.

And this is the box on it's own, i forgot the exact measurements but next time i make one I'll write it down! They're really quite simple! xx

And that's it! Sorry for all teh pictures but the weather was glorious and i thought i might as well get a few good ones while i'm out there lol!! :D

Thanks for visiting me, i really appreciate it! Please leave a comment if you have time?? :D
