Last week at PfP

It's my last week as a guest designer at Passion for Promarkers awww....
The challenge this week is to use Poppy & Forest Green. Mmmm this shouted out Christmas to me, another opportunity to increase my stock of Christmas cards. I started colouring a Edwin & Tilda skating but it just wasn't happening so went for plan b - Miss Anya and my stash of DCWV papers - couple several Xmas stacks to chose from!

I embossed a strip of gold pearlescent card with the CB embossing folder, added a couple of snowflakes using my MS punch, sentiment and shapes punches from SU! and finally a bit of ribbon from stash. Another card sorted.

Passion for Promarkers - 3rd week as Guest Designer

It's my third week as a guest design at Passion for Promarkers and what a great challenge it is..... It's Gina's turn to set the challenge and she has decided on a sketch challenge, go and check out the PfP blog to see the sketch and other DT members wonderful cards. The sponsor this week is Secret Crafter who are offering 6 Promarkers as the prize for the lucky winner this week.



I coloured Miss Anya with my Promarkers, can't remember which colours tho, sorry they got mixed up on my desk.... The pink sparkly paper and plain purple is from my stash, the purple patterned is from a DCWV stack. The sentiment and punches are from SU!

I'm looking forward to seeing your creations.....

AWOL & Winter Wonderland GDT

Working every day this week has certainly taken its toll on me and my crafting..... haven't managed much at all! I've spent the weekend catching up on chores, enjoying the sun and a bit of patchwork.
Hope to get back to more regular posting this week, now I'm back on track with everything else...

It's my second week as a guest design team member at Winter Wonderland

The challenge this week is to make a gift box, gift bag or wrapping paper.






I made this lil' box and covered it with Bo Bunny papers, added a couple of Miss Anya Snow images and some snowflakes cut with MS punch and a CB embossing and cutting folder. I got the instructions for this from an SU! training session but I believe they can be found on the scorpal website. I think I'll be making a few more of these, they are easy peasy to make.

Hope you have all had a fab weekend. I'll be round to catch up on your blogs soon...

Hidden Treasure

It's my second week as a guest designer at Cute Card Thursday this week and the theme is

'Challenge 78 - Hidden Treasure
This week we want to see a hidden element/gift in your cards/projects'.



I decided to make a pop up style card, which is always well received. I was really pleased with the colours on the manga girl card I posted recently so thought I would go with that colour scheme again.

And here's the hidden element, well she was nearly hidden....



I coloured Miss Anya with copics and mounted on to the black, gray & white sparkly papers from a DCWV paper stack. The sentiment and punches are from Stampin' Up! and ribbon from stash. Another card for my Christmas box - I'm doing quite well this year...
Don't forget to visit the Cute Card Thursday blog to see the wonderful cards the DT members have made and the fabulous prize up for grabs.
It's my day off today, got a list of jobs and cards as long as my arm so had better get started.... Have a wonderful day.

Guest Design Team spot for Cute Card Thursday

Woo hoo!!! I was thrilled to be offered a 2 week GDT spot at Cute Card Thursday. Thursday is my day off, so I try and take part most Thursdays although I haven't done very well lately :-( , as my school report always used to say - needs to try harder....



The challenge this week is
'Strawberry Mint Julep' - use a pink and green colour combo.

These are not normally colours I would put together, although I'm not quite sure why.
I really enjoyed making this card, apart from when I lost the image. I stamped and coloured it at the weekend then it went AWOL - I'm sure Tilda had a little holiday as she reappeared on my desk on Tuesday evening. I used some Basic Grey paper which I've had for ages but didn't want to cut into, how sad am I?
I used glossy accents on the plate to give it a glazed effect, it looks very effective IRL, not managed to capture the effect very well in the photo.

Don't forget to check out the very talented design team members fantastic creations.
