Passion for Promarkers week 27

For this weeks PfP challenge you can use any colours you choose, but the theme is vintage. I'm not sure if this passes as vintage, but it's my take on it. The image is Willow with Christmas candle by Whiff of Joy Stamps

Sarah's Cards.....

.... fabulous November kit which features the Crate Paper - Season Collection, is now starting to arrive at the homes of many crafters, so i can now share a few of the cards i made with it.
I have posted before (way back in September), where the tutorial can be found on how to make these flowers, but for those who missed it and have asked about how to make them, it's here.

Passion for Promarkers week 26

This weeks PfP challenge colours are Marsh Green and Burnt Umber. I've used my favorite image from the Whiff of Joy winter 2009 set, Willow with Santa's Stocking, and made an easel card, i love these and i'm having to stop myself making all my cards easel cards at the mo.
The sentiment is part of the CHRISTMAS CARD INSIDE GREETINGS....PRINTABLE STAMP SET from The Cutting Cafe'.

and the colours i used are

Middle of the week already!!!!

Hope you're all having a lovely Wednesday, i can't believe how fast the weeks are zooming by, i have three different projects on the go at the mo, and the deadline is looming for one of them.

I managed to finish this card yesterday, i took me about three days, as i kept pushing papers around, and leaving it for a while, coming back, changing my mind, but in the end i went with this.

The cutie image is Cupcake Chef Daisy, which is another of the soon to be available new stamps from Squiggle Stamps. There's been a delay in the delivery of the rubba, but i'm sure they will be here soon.

The 'kiss the cook' is part of the From My Kitchen printable stamp set from The Cutting Cafe'.

 Here it is.........

Friday at last!!!

I'm so glad it's Friday, that means i can have a lay-in in the morning, as i won't have to get up to do the school run. I'm still trying to catch up with my much needed sleep after last weekend, so hopefully i'll feel more with it next week.
I have managed to make a card today, actually this is the second one i made today with this image, i hated the first one, so took the image off it and made this one instead. I'll show you the reject too, so you can see what i mean.
This cutie image is another one of the coming soon stamps from Squiggle Stamps, isn't she adorable?
The sentiment is part of the DRESS SHAPED CARD TEMPLATE - CUTTING FILE AND INVITE SET from The Cutting Cafe'.
This one was the keeper,

This is the one i rejected.

I welded the castle from Paper Dolls dress up to a square from George cart using the Cricut Design Studio, so the castle is actually the front of the card.

Passion for Promarkers week 25

For this weeks PfP challenge you can use any colours you choose, but you must follow this sketch.

The cute image i've used on my card is the soon to be released Oscar on a sledge stamp from Squiggle stamps.

I covered the punched out snowflakes with Twinklets Diamond Dust, and i've used fun flock for the white 'fur' bits.

We played with paper too.

Here's a couple of the cards i made this weekend, yes we did do some crafting too, lol. I even made a layout, which i haven't done for almost two years.
Both images are from this years Whiff of Joy Winter stamp set. I have also used the one of the Oval and Rectangle Nellie's Multi Frame dies, which you can find here.

Fabulous weekend!!!

I've just had the most fantastic weekend with Sarah, Lianne and the Sarahscards design team girls. I've not laughed so much in ages or eaten and drank so much in one weekend, or had such late nights, or should i say early mornings lol. The whole weekend was perfect, and i have come away feeling really sad it had to end, but i have made 11 new friends, who are the friendliest/funniest and most talented bunch i've ever met. I can't wait until the Sarahcards retreat in March when we will all meet up again. This is where stayed..........

Anyway back to what i came on here to post. This weeks PfP challenge colours are Grass and Canary, and i've only just managed to make this quick card in time.

The image i've used is Snow Pals from Squiggle Stamps.

Busy, busy, busy.

I have been busy beavering away in my craftroom and i've managed to make 11 cards this week, but i'm unable to share most of them just yet, but i can show you these two very quick and simple ones i've made today.
