I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;
I Love ProMarkers - anything goes

Where Is Summer ????

Morning All.
Well, another wet and windy morning - I hope it isn't like this next weekend as I have two outdoor craft fairs to attend, and soggy cards really don't sell well.
To cheer everyone up though, it is time to announce the start of a new challenge over at Here Come The Boys, and this time we would like to see embossing or metal or even both on your creations. Our lovely leader Woo, is offering a very cute Best Of British stamp for the lucky winner of the challenge, so why not pop on over and join in the fun.
I have used Molly Blooms, George on my card, with a Cuttlebug embossed panel and another charm from my shop, Ewe 2 Can Craft. He has been coloured in bright cheerful ProMarker colours as it IS summer, really.
I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;
Di's Digi Designs - spotty and dotty
Send A Smile For Kids - birthday fun for kids
Drunken Stamper - colour challenge
Fussy and Fancy - boy attitude
Fab 'n' Funky - polka dots
and
Crazy Amigo's Challenge - summer colours
Thanks very much for looking, and hopefully you'll pop back again soon.

Father's Day

Morning All.
For the second day running it's sunny - what's happening. Hope this is here to stay now as it makes the world seem a better and happier place.
Todays card is for the new challenge at CRAFT, where I am guest designing, and this week they would like to see your 'Fathers Day' cards or creations. They also have 3 wonderful sponsors this time, so that there are plenty of fab prizes up for grabs. The sponsors are Meljen's Designs, Scrapper's Delight and Bugaboo Stamps. It's got to be worth hopping on over and joining in the fun.
I have gone back to using a Lili Of The Valley stamp on my card, as it just seemed so appropriate for my Dad and his beloved shed.
I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;
Fab 'n' Funky - fathers day
Crafty Sentiments - fathers day
Passion For ProMarkers - lots of layers
Cards For Men - fathers day

More Than One Fold

Afternoon All.
Well the weather here in Essex has calmed down a bit, hope you are all OK out there, and not too soggy.
Today sees the start of a new challenge at Here Come The Boys, but first may I just say how great it was to see so many entries on our last challenge, and how hard it was to pick a winner. Congratulations to everyone, as all the cards were fantastic.
This time round we would like to see your cards with more than one fold - lets see how creative you can get. I am also lucky enough to be sponsoring this challenge, so up for grabs are a selection of charms, many of which can be found in my shop, Ewe 2 Can Craft.
I hope you like my paper pieced card of Paddington Bear, he was really fun to make.
I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;
Do You Stack Up - paper piecing
Forever Friends - happy bearday
and
Paper Play - back to Kraft basics
Thanks for looking, and I'll be back soon
