Butterflies & Fairies


I made this for the Lili's little fairies challenge - Butterflies & Fairies
This is one of my rare cards that it all completely hand made, no computer/digital imput at all! The stamp is from LOTV, the sentiments and the butterflies are hero arts. I used my Martha Stewart punch and the papers are from a 6x6 pack from my stash. Coloured with my Promarkers of course.

I can add this as my second entry at I  Promarkers too - anything goes

Edit- I won 2 stamps from Lili of the Valley with this entry! thank you LOTV!

Bunny Birthday


I made this for the Pollycraft challenge (following the sketch for this week)
I was going to make it into an Easter card but my Sister-in-law is somewhat of a bunny freak.
I used Pink Petticoat papers and my lovely limited edition spring promarkers.


Edit - this card was chosen as a favourite at the Pollycraft challenge! Yay!

Mellow Yellow...


I made this card for the Passion for Promarkers challenge for this week - Yellow & Pearls 
I can also enter it into the I ♥ promarkers challenge - Anything goes

The stamp is from Lili of the Valley, the yellow patterned rose paper is an older one from Pink Petticoat that's not available any more (sorry!), the pearls are from my stash and I coloured her in with my promarkers.

I'm pleased with the photo I took for a change, most of them seem to dark to me. I managed to take this one outside today as the sun was actually shining for more than 10 minutes, wow. Maybe it's Spring?

Edit - My card was in the top 5 at Passion for Promarkers challenge blog! Thank you!

with love


I made this card for the Lili's Little Fairies Challenge blog. I followed the Valentines sketch for the challenge and was quite pleased with the way it turned out. I used my new 'limited edition' Promarker colours too, and they are great!

The Papers are from Pink Petticoats 'Old fashioned girl' set 
and I made the sentiment on my computer. 
The Stamp is 'Rosie Posey' From Lili of the Valley.

Shot through the heart...


...and you're to blame darling, you give love a bad name

I love this image from Kenny K (sexy cupid) and thought it would be great to colour! I was going to go all gothic, dark reds and black, but changed my mind at the last minute. I'm glad I did as I quite like how this one turned out.

I'm going to enter this into these challenges - 

Kenny K's Krafty Girlz - 'Show us some love
I ♥ Promakers challenge - 'Love is in the air'
Totally Gorjuss - 'Lurve'

I used my Promarkers and 2 colours from the Spectrum Noir range (better browns in my opinion!) and I made the sentiment on my computer (and now can't get Bon Jovi out  of my head!) . The digi paper was a free download but I'm not sure from where.

(can you spot the mistake?... I spelt 'thorough' wrong and had to do a slight patch up job!!)

Recycled Dreams?


I made this card with two challenges in mind. First at Passion for Promarkers the theme is 'recycle something' - The kraft paper is actually an envelope from a bill and the buttons are off one of my daughters old school shirts! And since this is my first Teddy Bo digi, I thought I would enter this into their challenge too (anything goes)

The image from Teddy Bo, backing paper is Digital (not sure from where), kraft paper & buttons are recycled and the sentiment is from Pink Petticoat. I machine stitched the edge of the kraft paper and I coloured with promarkers.

White on white


I've been wanting to ink up this stamp for the last few weeks (got it for Christmas) and I finally got round to doing it today! I've made 3 cards with her already (well, 2 and a half!) and she is truly Gorjuss ;)
Whilst blog hopping I came across a challenge blog that I've never seen before. The Sweet Stampin challenge blog. The challenge this week is 'White on White' so I thought I would have a go. This card turned out exactly as I planned and I'm really pleased with it!
I'll enter this one into the I  Promarkers - Anything goes challenge 
(as you can enter up to 3 times) 

Stamp- Gorjuss 'On top of the world'
Cuttlebug embossing folder - 'swiss dots' 
I used a flower and swirl die cut out with my Bigshot
(not sure from where, could be Marianne Creatable dies?), 
some white card candi 
and I coloured with promarkers
(I also embossed the edges with my MS score board)


Edit. My card made the spotlight at the sweet stampin challenge! I'm so pleased!! x

Exercise bad... chocolate good.


I made this card for the Passion for Promarkers challenge - humour. I made one similar to this for my brothers birthday and he liked it so it was nice to make one again.

Paper is from a Papermania pack
Digital stamp is 'Relaxing Ronnie' from Pollycraft 
Can't remember where the sentiment came from and I coloured with promarkers

Cupcakes

(I used my daubers on the background, I got pathetically excited with I found them in the back of a draw yesterday!)
