Swirls & Pearls and a Sketch

This week over at Kenny K's the challenge is for Swirls & Pearls, I also found a sketch challenge (while lurking on Tines blog) at Friday Sketchers so thought I would have ago at that as well.
Used one of the fab Kenny K's downloads Kitty Katastrophe, papers were a freebie with a cardmaking magazine. Rest of the bits are from the stash.
Thank you for stopping by :)

Myth & Magic

Oh wow what a theme. I could have made so many cards for this challenge at I ♥ ProMarkers but unfortunately I just do not have the time. Charmed Cards & Crafts recently brought out a new collection called 'Once Upon a Time' which fitted perfectly for this challenge and I have been dieing to purchase them so today I did :)

This is the first time I have made an easel card and struggled a bit trying to fit pieces in, but i'm pretty happy with the end result
Discovered easel cards aren't the easiest to photograph so took a few from different angles.

Images and sentiment are from Charmed Cards & Crafts and coloured with promarkers. Everything else is from the stash. Thank you for stopping by :)

On the Beach

This week over at Dottie's World they wanted a beach/vacation card so here is my attempt......
Have used one of the images from the Boy oh Boy collection and paper from the English Paper Company, which I brought yesterday from Osbornes for £1.99 for 24 12x12 sheets, Bargain!! Bits and pieces from the stash.

Charming

Where does the time go...........work has kept me very busy over the last few weeks so have not had chance to make any cards never mind take part in the fab challenges. As its bank holiday Monday I decided that today I was going to put some time aside to actually sit down and make at least one card and here it is........

Am entering her into the I ♥ Promarkers challenge, which this week they wanted a charm included and the Kenny K challenge, which this week their theme is music to coincide with some fantastic new images they have just released.

The image I have used is from Kenny K and coloured with Promarkers and used bits and pieces from the stash. The charm I think was from The Works (have had it a long time).

Frame It

The challenge this week over at Dotties World is to create a card with a frame and some dots. I brought a set of the fab Pixie Chicks last week so have used one of these beautiful images for this weeks challenge.

Coloured her with promarkers and copics and used some sparkle on her wings. Made the flowers, papers are from Papermania and a Forever Friends collection, words from tlc.
Hope you like her and thank you for stopping by.

Kenny K challenge No:4

I am very late with this challenge this week, been busy with the kids as I took an impromptu week off work. Anyway the Kenny K challenge is 'On the dark side' am also going to enter her into the I ♥ ProMarkers challenge, which was a sketch and no more than 3 colours (which I have only just read - oops - not sure if a couple of shades of pink is classed as one colour) Anyway I hope you like her.................. The image is from the new Kenny K collection, Gothic Angels, and shes called Kitty Katastrophe. Coloured her with promarkers and added some sparkle, which I can never get to show in photos. Paper is from Papermania, made the flowers and heart buttons, ribbon I think was off a box of chocolates :)

Can't wait for the next challenge!

Manly with a twist

This week over at Dottie's World, Adele wants a manly card and the twist being it had to have ribbon.

Most of the cards I make for my boys usually include a bit of ribbon, so here is a card I made for my sons 16th this year......

Used the fantastic Mikey coloured as always with promarkers and copics, papers were a freebie with a magazine from a while ago (am a magazine addict so no clue what magazine it was) and the rest of the bits are from the stash.
