Hi everyone

Hope that you are all well and that those of you celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend enjoy it. Well onto the card itself... the stamps of Bently Bear are from a set of 7 which came with issue 70 of Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine and where coloured using LePlume II pens and Whispers Strokes markers, the backing paper is BoBunny's 12" Tis the season Deck the halls.

This card was really quick and quite easy to make.

Have a great weekend

Hi Everyone

Well as promised I am posting a card. I made this card for the cute card thursday challenge which this is teen terrors - to make a teen inspired project. I had great fun putting this card togeather as it was a challenge to make a 'cool' teen card. I also tried to make the card contempory as well - what do you think?

Onto the card itself, the image was by Personal Impressions and was coloured using Le Plume II pens and Whispers Strokes markers, the flowers at the bottom are by imaginisce, the bow was made using ribbon from stash as was the other glittery pink ribbon, the tag was from Irene's papers -n- things, the backing paper was from K&Co 6x6 'Hopscotch' pad and the lettering was from Colour Connection's Handmade Paper Alphanumerals

I will be posting another card tommorow and am now going to catch up on my blog hopping

Saturday Spotlight with hidden potential

Hi Everyone

Well back again this time with my entry for the saturday spotlight hidden potential challenge which this week was to 'make a scene'. Well I have been racking my brains all week to no avail and then during my card making session this afternoon I had a brainwave and came up with this card. The elements on it are really simple the trees and snowflakes are by Anita's outline stickers, the background is black card the two reindeer are from a set of 12 by Craft for Occasions and the hill was drawn using a gray pencil.

thanks for stopping by

DT Call entry

Hi Everyone

Sorry about the lack of posts this week but I have been really busy with uni work.... now you are probably wondering about the title of the post, well over on the Cards for men blog their is a call for DT members (check it out here) and I thought that I would submit a card to see if I might be selected for the disgn team.....

On to the card... The top picture is a close up of the image as I think its great for a male card. The second image is the better of the two as it shows the whole card. The backing paper is form the 'Hopscotch' paper pad by K&Company, the black ribbon is from paper mania, the senitment (which says 'May your day be filled with fun and laughter') is by Funstamps, the image is from Personal impressions 'cute characters set 2' and is coloured using LePlumeII and whisper stroke pens

I hope to be back with another posting later

Happy crafting

Christmas Tree

Hi Everyone

Well the weather here is awful today - rain and thunder - so I decided to make a quick christmas card this morning. The card design is based on a card that I made for a friends birthday several months ago.

On to the card itself the backing paper is from the BoBunny Back to Backs range and is called 12" Tis the season deck the halls, the black ribbon is from Papermainia ribbon collection, the snowflake (which I recently purchased) is from Crafts for Christmas and the christmas tree stamp was from Hobbycraft and coloured with LePlumme II pens.

Happy Stamping

Forever Friends Happy Birthday

Hi all

Well I am back as I manged to fit in some crafting time this morning. I used the sketch from the Creative Inspiration challenge to make this card - I only hope I am not to late to enter it - the colour combo of blue and green is not a usual choice for me (I usually combine them with other colours) but I love how they have worked out on this card. The papers on the card are from the K&Co 'Hopscotch' paper pack, the image is from the Forever Friends collection and coloured using Whispher Stroke markers and LePlumme II pens and the paper flowers are from imaginisce. I have added a close up of the image aswell as none of the photos do the card justice.

Thanks for stopping by
