Tag It

This week at Kenny K's the challenge is Tag It. I keep finding ideas for these little bags, which at I am enjoying making (think i'm just trying to avoid making Christmas cards!) Any way I found this bag on the Whiff Of Joy Tutorials site.
Have used a Kenny K image and coloured her with promarkers, used a glitter gell pen on her fur trim, but I can't get the photo to show the sparkle.

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment as I love reading them :)

Snowmen & A Sketch

This week at I ♥ Promarkers the challenge is for Snowmen. I used my one and only snowman stamp for last weeks challenge and didn't really want to use it again so had to go hunting for another image. Luckily Charmed Cards & Crafts came to the rescue and I remembered I had Dottie & George Christmas collection.
I used the fantastic sketch over at Friday Sketchers, coloured Dottie and her snowman in with promarkers (used a white glitter on the snowman - makes him look fluffy in RL hehe) The papers are from Nitwits, but were free with a magazine :)

Am also going to enter this card into the 2 Sisters Challenge.

Red Challenge

Dottie's World are running an anything goes - red challenge with a fantastic magnolia stamp as a prize! I have admired these stamps for a while but as yet have not purchased any (may have to put a couple on my christmas list :) )

Anyway wasn't sure what image to use for this challenge, I knew I wanted to use a Charmed image but which one. I ended up downloading their new collection called Santa's Little Helpers and I'm really glad I did as they are all just gorgeous. I used All Wrapped Up and coloured her with promarkers and then got stuck with what papers to use, I just couldn't get anything to work. I ended up just putting her in the middle of a blank white card in frustration to look at it later and thought that works! So ended up going all white :) Hope you like her.

Am also going to enter this card into the Creative Inspirations Challenge as they want anything Christmassy/Winter :)

Icy Colours and A Sketch

This week at I ♥ Promarkers the challenge is for Icy Colours and I followed another great sketch from Friday Sketchers.

Dug out a really old stamp for this card, which I brought years ago when I first took an interest in card making, but was never able to stamp it up properly until now. I love using digital images but there are so many beautifull stamps out there, which I have recently been buying, and through trial and error i can now, fingers crossed, get these stamps to work for me. I must thank Rachel Jakes, who makes the most stunning cards, who uses Neenah Classic card and Memento Ink to stamp her images. So off I went to The Hobby House web site and purchased myself some of this card and all I can say is WOW, it work wonders, soooo I have been having ago with all my stamps old and new :)

Anyway back to the card, snowflake paper was a freebie with a magazine, probably from last year and the sentiment is from TLC. Oh and the image is coloured with Promarkers :)

Anything but a square

This week at Kenny K's they wanted anything but a square, so I decided to make a little gift bag. I found the tutorial for this bag on the Wiff of Joy Inspiration blog, think I will be making a few of these for the girls at work :)
Used the fab Mistletoe from Kenny K's Chritmas collection and coloured her with promarkers, the trim of her dress, hat and boots I used a glitter gel pen and used the same pen to colour the snowflakes. Paper is another freebie from a magazine.

Am also going to enter her into this weeks challenge over at I ♥ Promarkers, which is for snowflakes, I hope purple ones count! hehe.

Thank you for stopping by :)

Anything Goes and a Sketch

This week the challenge at Catch The Bug is 'Anything Goes'. Sooo I have been dieing to use JJ from Bugaboo Stamps, which I won a couple of weeks ago for coming in the top 3 :)

Here she is coloured with promarkers. Used a fab sketch from Friday Sketchers. The papers are a freebie that came with my Quick Cards magazine yesterday. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, managed to stick them down better this time as well (Thank you Paul for pointing me in the right direction :))

Thank you for stopping by.

Whirling, Swirling, Twirling Autumn

The Catch the Bug Challenge this week is for a Whirling, Swirling, Twirling Autumn, which I really do struggle with as I dont seem to have anything that says autumn. I did actually start this card on Saturday for halloween on Sunday, but only just managed to finish it. Hope its Autumn enough :)

Used a Halloween witch from Bugaboo Stamps with some other images from TLC and photo shopped them together. Coloured with promarkers and copics with papers from Papermania.
