Great image, I love this large snowman with his warm jacket and lovely buttons.

As is the norm, I have coloured him with my Promarkers and have layered him up with pastel pinks, purples and blues.

I decided to enter him into three challenges :-

Thoughtful

I have used an old and faithful image that I then coloured with my promarkers, the backing paper is pearlescent green card that I have had for years and have used a circle stamp and the word sorry from Personal Impressions. I then layered up a couple of colour co-ordinated flowers to finish.

I used the sketch from the current Sketch and Stash challenge #40, which I have duly entered.

Hallo Again, I seem to have saved all these posts up for one day. The children are all busy, nice day and they are playing in the garden, yippee the computer is free for a minute.

This is my good luck bear card, made using one of my fave stamps with a mulberry flower behind on small square card. Coloured of course with my Promarkers.

overdid the bubbly

See I said it would only be a moment or two.

I decided as we have no lock on our bathroom door (still have young children that do the 'locks stuck again mummy' bit), that I would make a hanger for the door. They will probably not notice it, but one has to try!!

I have used DCWV stickers, coredinations card and a penny black stamped image.

This is my third and final entry into the PennyBlack @ Allsorts Monthly Challenge which ends in 2 days.

P.S. Overdid the bubbly refers to the fact that I forgot to turn the images before posting!!??

New Home Hedgy

This is just a quicky for my friend who has finally moved into her new/very old home. She loves hedgies, so there was no contest had to use a penny black image, again with the squiggle stamps backdrop(so so useful). Overexposed the image a bit so it all looks a little pale, never mind hedgies just so cute!

Have entered it into the Penny Black @ Allsorts monthly challenge which only has a couple of days left to run, you can enter up to three times so will post one more in a moment or two.

P.S. Am away now for a couple of weeks camping so will have to cope with the crafting withdrawal symptoms.

A new Porpoise for life

I have had great fun with creating a scene, especially as I love a bit of theatre.
Papermania Aqua capsule collection papers have been shaped like waves and I used an old stamp (can't remember where I got this one from, but it is one of a set of sea creatures)
I coloured the dolphins / porpoises with my promarkers and also the rocks that my decoupage mermaid is sitting upon. she is from the "Dreamtide " Series by Christine Haworth Design.
The wee metal charms are Scrapbook Basics.

Classic Christening Bear

I have made this cute card for a christening that is coming up soon, so as I have decoupaged it I have decided to enter it into the Just Cute Bears Challenge #24 which has a decoupage theme this week.

I have used various papers and have reused a gorgeous ribbon from some lavender bubble bath that I received back in March this year. It was just too nice to throw out!

Enjoy and thanks for looking

Summer love bird

This pretty little love bird, from Squiggle Stamps, just had to be centre stage, I have used sunshine papers from papermania (again, seem to be hooked on the gorgeous summery colours). I matched in the colours on the butterflies and coloured the bird and the flower train that crosses the middle with coordinating promarkers. I have used the sketch from Friday Sketchers challenge, very challenging.

I have decided to enter this card into

Highly contagious this desire to upload your cards, so here is another one.
I have used a SeeDees Botanical image coloured with my promarkers, a beautiful lace butterfly from the papermania people and have embossed another butterfly onto coredinations card , which I then sandpapered over to bring out the paler colour (this was a first for me as I had not used this type of technique before)
