Good Afternoon Everyone, again I have been very slow posting a card, Ive sort of lost my mojo I find I really not in the mood for card making, last week I was asked to make samples and that motivated me to work but this week I really not in the least finding the urge to get myself into gear. Maybe it was because so much went wrong last week that I was so wrapped up with the stress of that, that my mojo went of for a holiday. Anyway I did get around to creating this card today its for the Sugar Bowl Sketch Challenge and for the Sugary Sunday one on Facebook. Its one of Funky Kits gorgeous mermaids and I stamped her onto white card before using my copic pens to colour her. I also put some glitter on the tails of both the mermaid and the seahorse.
I then cut her out with a large rectangle die from Spellbinders and the two papers are from one of the Maya paper packs, I used the darker blue paper for my first mount and distressed the edge of it, I then used a lighter on on the other mount and distressed the edge for that one to.
Ive created the card as the sketch required and then used three buttons with bakers twine tied in knots in the holes and a seahorse charm on the side.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

Good Morning, it seems so long since I actually created a card with these images and because we have a weekly challenge on Facebook for "Sundays with Santa" I thought I would incorporate it with the "Sugary Sunday" and "Sugar Bowl" Challenges, so heres the result.
Ive used this sweet image from Funky Kits and coloured it with my copic pens then used Nestabilitie Die No.7 to cut it out, afterwards I used the die to draw around to create a mount for it. The sentiment is one that I had in my stash.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white easel card, and the first mounts are red card and the backing papers are from the new Wild Rose Studio Christmas Pack, they are gorgeous the ones I have used are white backgrounds and decorative bauble designs on. I have created the inside identical to the outside and placed my mounted image towards the left. I have placed the sentiment at the bottom on the left and used Card Candi (chipboard) in the spots.

http://sendasmile4kidschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/

anyway I hope you think I have, Ive then used Nestabilitie Die Labels No.5 to cut it out then used the die to draw around to create the mount for it.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card, and for the first mount is a pink card then on top I have used one of Donna's brand new "Christmas Light" digi paper set, there are some gorgeous papers in this set and you should pop across to the Bearlymine Design Shop and see for yourself. I have then wrapped two ribbons around the middle and placed my mounted image towards the right. I then created a ribbon bow with two smaller ribbons and popped a Santa Charm on it, then stuck in the middle of the larger ribbon on the left hand side. The final flourish are the four dew drops stuck in the two corners on the left.

Im not sure what she thinks shes doing, but we found her like this several times yesterday, she doesnt normally sleep on her back with her legs in the air, but oh well I suppose when its hot you have to find away to cool your tummy.
Anyway todays card was created for this weeks Sugary Sunday and Sundays with Santa "Anything Goes" Challenges on Facebook, Ive also used the Sugar Bowl sketch so I can add it to that challenge as well. The image is Im not totally sure a Xmas one but felt it was near enough so Ive stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Die Labels no.17 to cut it out and then drawn around the die to create the mount. The sentiment is one of the LOV circle stamps and has been also mounted on a piece of the same green card as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of green card and the papers I used are from Echo Parks "Holly Jolly Xmas" paper set, the first is a green background with white snowflakes on, the second is a strip of red and white spots and the third a sentiment paper which was stuck as the sketch required. The mounted image was then positioned towards the left and the sentiment at the bottom on the right. To finish of I have used several punched out Martha Steward snowflake shapes which I have mounted up and popped a large pearl in the center of it and placed at the top on the right.

Good Afternoon All, sorry again for not posting much this week but Ive been struggling to get all my stuff onto my brand new desktop computer, hubby has built me a new one and of course you know what we are like we want it to have everything to hand straight away so Ive still got a few more bits to sort out, but at least I did manage to get a few cards done today, and this one is for this fortnights Sugar Bowl Sketch one and for the Facebooks Sugary Sunday one, add something metal.
Ive used this cute little girl is called "Telltale" so I guess she might be listening to a bit of gossip or telling tales to this little bird. Ive stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her. Then cut her out with my rotatrim and mounted her onto a piece of blue card.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card, and the papers I have used for this card are Kaisercrafts "Utopia" paper set, and I have made it up using Fiona's Sketch. The sentiment is one of the CC ones and this was also mounted onto a piece of blue card. To finish of I have used a metal sunflower and some promarker pens on it just to give it a bit of colour.

Good Afternoon All, well Ive been rather lapse and blogging lately, but that doesnt mean that Ive not been working, Ive been trying to get well ahead with my DT work as I know that August is going to be a really busy month for me, not only are two of my grandsons due for a week but my eldest grandson will be getting married on the 18th so I really dont want to have extra pressures on my plate around that time.
Todays card is for this weeks "Folds" Challenge over on Facebook, this is a weekly challenge to help us collect a good amount of cards made ready for this years Christmas, if youd like to join dont hesitate to find out more. Anyway Ive used this gorgeous Sugar Nellie image and stamped onto white card then used my copic pens to colour, afterwards I used my large oval from Go Create dies and a scalloped one for the mount. I also used some glitter on her wings.
the base card is 6"x 6" white card with two folds instead of one and I have used blue card for the first mounts and a paper I found in my Sweetshoppe Digi Downloads and felt it was just right for my card, Ive also used the birch tree die from Memory Box and cut it out twice, then after I stuck it to the card I used some cosmic shimmer drys white glue on the branches to imitate snow. I then positioned my mounted image towards the middle and it just covered the side fold and Ive also done the same with the sentiment.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card, and the sketch I have used is this fortnights Sugar Bowl one, and the papers I have used are Dovecrafts handmade papers, the first one is a mulberry one in a soft beige colour, then on top I have used a piece of rose paper that I tore along the middle these where then stuck as the sketch shows.

Good Evening Everyone, I know Im late but its been a busy day, we always go swimming twice a week and today was one of those days, I really need the exercise so I have to put my mind into trying to more lengths each time I go, but it doesnt always happen but I did manage to do 22 today so at least it made a difference after only managing 14 on Tuesday. Todays card has been created for this fortnights Sugar Bowl Challenge and the Sugary Sunday on on Facebook that is a colour one and here the colours theyve chosen for this week.
A bit of a difficult choice to play with, but I think Ive covered them all, there is a bit of the light blue in her wings if you look a bit closer you can see it. Ive used "Rosie" from Funky Kits and stamped her onto white card before using my copic pens to colour her, the Nestabilitie Die No.1 is what I used to cut her out and a larger one for the mount. The sentiment is yet another from my stash and has also been mounted on a piece of pink card.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card, the papers I have used are the Authentique "Uncommon" Im sure there must be another name for it but this is the one I found on the front. Anyway the first paper is a cream/beige background with roses on in black, pink and red, then on top is a dark grey script paper thats been placed across the first mount then on top is a patterned paper in circles thats been stuck down the card. I then positioned my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the left hand side.
I have also used one of the Die-namics swirl die to cut out in pink card this has been stuck down the right handside, then I used some of the left over script paper with the Royal Rose rolled die from Die-namics cut it out then rolled it up and placed it at the top of the swirl. To finish of I have used 6  black pearls in two sizes down the left and right hand sides.

Good Evening Everyone, yes I know Im late but Ive been out most of the afternoon, it was Missy's date with the Groomer at 3pm and we decided to pop into Ross on Wye while she was there, and you know how quickly the time goes when you get back, what with dinner, and cutting the grass the whole evening is almost gone. Well anyway back to my card, this is for this weeks colour Challenge over on Facebook
yes I know its a strange combination of colours and I couldnt quite make my mind up how to use them, anyway as I had already started to colour up my Ribbonista image I thought oh well lets go for it and Ive used the colours as you can see in my image. I then used my large rectangle Nestabilitie Die to cut it out, and mounted it onto a piece of yellow card, the sentiment is one from my stash.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and the first mount is a 3piece of yellow card and Ive used three papers from the Sweetshope Digi Downloads and this one is called "Fit to Burst" the first paper is an all over flower design on a cream background, I then used my Martha Stewart border and corner punches on the second piece of orange paper, and for my third is a yellow damask pattern paper and has been mounted on yet more yellow card and placed across the middle of the card.
My mounted image was then positioned in the centre with the sentiment was placed down the left hand side of the card. To finish of I have punched out two leaf flourishes that have been placed on the right hand side, and then I used two left over papers from the same set of papers and these were then used with two different sized Royal Rose rolled dies from Die-namics, then rolled up and stuck on top of the flourishes.

The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of orange/pink card and the papers Ive used are from Sweet Shoppe Digi Downloads, and this set is called "Grace" I love the colours and patterns, the first paper is a all over small flower pattern and the second one which is a little difficult to see but it has large flower heads on, the third is a damask paper in brown and this one was mounted down the card with some cream paper streamers tied around it.
I then positioned my mounted image towards the left and the sentiment down the bottom on the right hand side, to finish of I have used several of the left over papers and the Royal Rose Die-namics rolled flower dies, to create the flower spray in the top right hand corner, these were stuck to the card with silicone glue on top of some punched out fern leaves.

Good Afternoon Everyone, sorry Ive not been posting to much lately, but have been busy trying to catch up in advance with my DT cards but also I wanted to spend sometime with my Yorkie Missy, as she had to have several operations yesterday, she was spayed, six dew claws had to be removed and two baby teeth which werent going to come out on their own as they were rather impacted in her jaw. Anyway fortunately everything went well and shes in a good condition though she has removed some of her stitches from one of her back legs, and has now got a hole and Im hoping it will heal of its on accord and wont need stitching up again, we have to go to the local vets on Saturday for a check up so we will be able see what they say then.
Anyway back to the card Ive posted today, as you are probably aware Sugar Nellie also run a Sunday challenge on Facebook, they are mainly colour challenges and are great fun, you really out to have a look for yourself and join in the fun. Ive also found that the sketch Ive used is the one they are using for this weeks Sugar Bowl Challenge and so Im going to enter it in there to.

Good Morning Everyone, well the sun is out and it looks as if its going to be a lovely day, lets hope so. We had a fabulous time at the NEC yesterday and yes I did spend lots of money but hubby seemed ok with that thankfully, I also got to meet up with the lovely Marianne (Fisher), Lisa (Baker) and Lynsey (Warren), we had a right old chat and even had a couple of photos taken so dont be surprised if you see it out there in blogland. Anyway at the begining of the week I actually made two cards for this weeks Sugary Sunday over on Facebook, I posted my first one of my No.2 blog and I thought for a change I would post this second one here on my No.1. As Im going to be quite busy over the next few days creating cards for Sarah Hallam of Peerless Designs (will be posting my sample cards on my No.2 blog in next few days) I felt Id rather neglected you and thought you might like to see a card for a change, hope you like it.
Anyway this is one of the new Pip digi images, and I love this little one with her lamb, Ive printed her onto white card and coloured it with my copic pens then cut it out with the Nestabilitie Die Labels No.4 and then used a larger one for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and for my first mount of blue card on top I have layered up with papers from the Nitwits "At the Park" digi paper set, the first is a white background with multi coloured flowers on, the second is a yellow and white stripe and the third is a blue spot one. I then positioned my mounted image towards the left and the sentiment at the bottom on the right, and to finish of Ive used some of the left over papers and a die-namics flower die and stuck it to the top of the right hand corner on top of some punched out leaves. The final flourish I used two of the Epiphany buttons which were cut out of some of the left over paper then positioned down the right hand side.

Good Morning Everyone, the sun is out and its quite mild, so it looks almost like Spring is on its way, but dont bank on it. Missy is asking to go for her walk but so far no-one is taking her seriously so shes getting more anxious that daddy is not going to take her out. Hes just got back from Monmouth after having to return a new saucepan he bought me yesterday as it had a split down one of the edges so obviously it couldnt be used, we were told if youd tried to use it, it would have either exploded or split even further down the side.
Anyway todays card has been created for this weeks Sugar Bowl Challenge, and I have used Rosie for my main image, this was the stamp I won in last weeks Sugary Sunday on Facebook, its one of the weekly Challenges on there that I take part in, and Ive stamped and coloured her with my copic pens, then used Nestabilitie Die Labels No.1 to cut it out, then used the larger one for the mount. The sentiment is on the tag which if you look closely is tucked behind the image.
The base card is  6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card, the papers I have used are by Nitwits "One Birdie Lane" digi set I used is so pretty I thought it went well with my image. The card has been made up to the sketch that was to be used, and for the final flourish I have used my brand new Epiphany Button maker (brilliant for making homemade buttons), its like a punch with a facility to turn it into button or embellishments, and I created two buttons with some of the first paper and stuck them down the side on the right hand side.

Anyway todays card has been created for this weeks Sugar Bowl Challenge "A Sketch" and Ive used this sweet digi image for my card and coloured it with my copics before cutting it out with my Nestabilitie Die No.1 and then drew around the die to create the mount for it. The sentiment is one of the Whimsey Christmas stamps from last year and Ive cut this out with a circle die and mounted it on a larger diecut.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of turquoise blue card and one of two papers from The First Edition "Christmas Joy" paper pack this first paper is a patterned one with snowmen and penquins on a blue background, on top is a stripped one in similar colour tones, across the card Ive then wrapped a film strip ribbon of snowmen and penquins to and attached it to the back of the first mount, The mounted image was then positioned in the centre with the sentiment at the bottom on the right.
