Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Have a Heart

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week the theme is Have a Heart, for my entry I have used a photo from a wedding I went to a couple of years ago and never got around to doing anything with them. The scrapbook page is made in Craft artist and everything is coloured using the backing paper to take the colours from.  The backing paper is one I got from Chocolate Baroque, Glenda was selling what she called a Stash-e-Lope and there was some lovey stash in it.

I do hope you can come on over and join us, there are some lovely samples from the design team. I am a bit late posting this as I usually do my posts in the morning but these days don't have the time but forgot to do this one last night.

CD Sunday - A La Mode

Good morning everyone and yes it's Sunday so we have a new challenge over on CD Sunday, this week it's A La Mode but because we are being sponsored the team have all used an image from the newset cd Shoes in Bloom 2.

The prize this week is any cd from the range at Ooh La La and they have a pretty good range so well worth a look and also entering to see if you could be the winner. We choose the winner by a random draw but also have a top three chosen by one of the DT.

My card is an 8 inch square, no surprises there then, the image and backing papers are printed onto 160 gsm text and graphics paper and mounted onto lilac backing sheets. A few gems, flower and a bit of my precious lace and it's done. I hope you like it.

Rainbow Lady's challenge - Wear red

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge this week Cynthia wants you to wear red, well not you unless you want to but as it's wear red day it's seems a good idea for a challenge.

For my card I've used some much loved backing paper that I've had for ages and really struggled to use it as I am not sure where I got it from so probably won't be able to get any more. I know it's daft there's no point in having these nice papers if all you do is look at them.

The flowers were in a Kanban kit but they were cream so I coloured them with the two promarkers I used on the hat and dress then stamped thme with a patterened stamp in Versafine. The gems came in my carousel that I bought from Create and Craft last year when it was on special, just the tiniest touch of liquid glue and they are well stuck.
I do hope you can come over and join us this week as we love to see you. x

CD Sunday - Tag You're it!

Good morning and welcome to my little home on the web. This week over on CD Sunday the theme is Tag You're it, now it's not as bad as it sounds, it just means use a tag or make a tag and you'll be there.

For my card I've used the backing paper and tag from an artylicious cd and although you will struggle to see it on the picture the page is floral. I used a friends die and have had it for ages so decided that today I would use it, I had already coloured it blue when I cut it so had to arrange the rest of the card around it. now that was a challenge in itself never mind having to use a tag and a cd but I managed in the end. I picked out the colour of the book for the backing layers and the strip across the front, this was a bargain and I usually miss things like this but for once I was in the right place at the right time. I bought what Glenda from Chocolate Baroque called a stash-a- lope and it was full of 12x12 pages the like I haven't seen before and a couple of packs of rub-ons and this die set from Spellbinders, all for the princely sum of £10.  Glenda has quite a few lines she is clearing and now and again has some used products at fab prices so well worth keeping your eyes open on that site.

Anyway back to the card, the ribbon was white but I used the prussian blue promarker to change it and the I finished the card off with some flowers from Wild Orchid.

I do hope you can come over and join us this week as we love to visit you and see what you are doing.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Something Scottish for Burns Night

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge this week the theme is Burns Night so something Scottish. I decided to go with the one thing I know best and that is dogs and although there are quite a few Scottish breeds the Scottish Terrier and the West Highland White are probably the best known.

I decided to do a simple scrap page with one of the cutest pictures, some people think they are the same breed with just different colouring but they are so very different as you can see in this picture.

I do hope you can join us and show us your thoughts on Scotland, pop over to the blog and see the rest of the teams ideas they are all very different.

CD Sunday - Zodiac

Good morning and as it's Sunday it's another challenge over on CD Sunday, this week the challenge is Zodiac and I decided to use the Enchanted cd from Card Creations + ,  the funny thing is I had started to make it for my mum but chose the wrong image and realised that her birthday doesn't fall within the Aquarius period so it will have to do for  friend in work whose birthday is early next month.
I cut the scalloped circle out on the Cricut and then stuck the decoupage onto that, the backing paper is a faded one which comes on the cd.  Once I'd done the card it looked a bit unfinished and although I don't normally use loads of bling I thought this needed something so went a bit mad with the gems but I think it works ok.

I hope you can come over and join us, it's a little lonely without you all.

CD Sunday - Enchantment

Over on CD Sunday this week we want you to think enchanting thoughts and show us what the word enchantment means to you.  For my card I have used an image from Joanna Sheen's - Country Garden, this image makes me think of an enchanted forest and the children are fascinated by the spider.
I coloured the background of the card with three distress inks and it's not as dark as it looks in the picture, I used spun sugar, scattered straw and one of the new ones iced spruce, before putting the ink on I stamped the swirls and embossed with silver pearl embossing powder.  The flowers were in a Kanban kit I bought from C&C, they were cream but I used the spun sugar ink directly onto the card before rolling them up. I have used a punch for the leaves and I was going to put a sentiment on but it didn't look right so used a few pearls instead.

I do hope you can come on over and join us, you know we love to see your entries as it gives us a chance to have a sneaky peak at all the other things you do.

Less is More - Single layer and Birds

Over on Less is More this week the challenge is single layer with birds, now I'm not sure this picture is very flattering to the card but it's the best I could get in the light I've got.


I spritzed the background with some Glitz Spritz that I've had for years, once it was where I wanted it to be I took a paintbrush and moved the liquid around to give it a dappled finish. I took a pen a went around the inner edge of the spritzed area to give an edge to it. 

The bird stamp is from Chocolate Baroque and is huge, I stamped it in Versafine and coloured the berries and tree edges with promarkers then stamped a sentiment on the bottom. It looks a bit squiffy but it's just the angle of the camera.

Rainbow Lady's challenge - Many faces of women

Good morning all, over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week we want you to think of the many faces of women, I have used a Kanban stamp for my main image and the swirls in the background are from a set I picked up at the Port Sunlight stamp show last year. I have coloured the backround with Distress inks and then used one of the Texture Fragment stamps from Chocolate Baroque to add to the detail.
I have left the main image uncoloured apart from the flowers in her hair which I painted with the same distress ink as the texture stamping.

I hopwe you can come over and join us, I know there are a lot of things that you can do with this challenge, see you there!

CD Sunday - Sea Life

The challenge over on CD Sunday this week is Sea Life so I decided to do a scrapbook page with some photo's I took when I was in Australia, I thought they had been doing nothing for enough years now so I need to make an album with them.

These two photo's were taken in the aquarium at Sydney, I was totally fascinated with the large fish because it looked like it was made out of stone, I used a digi kit that came on one of the cd's that came with the original Craft Artist programme I think it's called dunes.


I do hope you can come and join us this week and you like what the design team have done with the theme.

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week we are Travelling in Time to 2012, for my entry I have chosen to use the steampunk stamps from Kanban, I love these stamps and really would love to use them all the time as they stamp so beautifully and are great fun.
I have used a spllbinders die to cut out the backing piece which I have coloured with alcohol inks and used a LOTV stamp for the message.

I do hope you can come and join us and let us see your interpretation of time travel.

CD Sunday - O is for Olympics

Good morning all and a very Happy New Year to you all, this week over on CD Sunday we are being sponsored by the lovely Sharon Duncan with a fab prize of  Embossibilities Elegance and Embossibilities Texture Prints CD with some printable papers and embellishments.

Sharon gave us some files to work with and I used the one with the roses on but changed the colour in Craft Artist to fit in with my theme. I found the main image on the internet and the rest followed on from there.
I do hope you can come and join us and maybe win this great cd, and hopefully you won't have the issues that I have had trying to get these posts done, blogger is driving me daft these last few days, it's taking me hours just to do one little post.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Your choice

Over on Rainbow Lady's this week the theme is so easy that you have no excuse not to join us, Cynthia decided to give us a bit of a break and chose the theme of Your Choice.

For my card I used a stamp set from Joanna Sheen, this cat image comes with the flower so I stamped it all over and added a hint of colour with Promarkers making a pretty background, the cat image is coloured with Promarkers and I used a Sakura pen to do the eyes giving them a touch of glitter. I used the Weatered Wood Distress Ink around the edges and stamped the sentiment which also comes on the sheet, added a bit of ribbon and some gems and it's finished.

I do hope you can come over and join us, we love to come visit you. 

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my blogland friends. Have a lovely holiday and a very Happy New Year. xx

Rainbow Lady's challenge - White Christmas

Over at Rainbow Lady's this week we want you to dream of a white Christmas, for my card I've used the wonderful Thomas Kinkade cd, printed onto some lovely matt photo paper and plenty of glitter added but that doesn't really show in the picture. The ribbon is coloured with Promarkers and the slider stamped and embossed with WOW glitter embossing powder.

I hope you come over and join us for our final Christmas challenge of the year, there will be one other one before the new year though so hopefully you will find time amongst the madness for a bit of crafty down time.

CD Sunday - Fifties Fun

Good morning everyone, it's two weeks since the last CD Sunday challenge and this time as we are so busy over the christmas period it's another two weeker. The challenge this time is Fifties Fun and judging by the teams efforts this was popular with them so hopefully it will be with you too.
For my card I used My Craft Studio, A Carousel of Classics I don't use these discs very much but knew there would be something on there to fit the bill and I didn't even change the colour.

The trim at the bottom is done with a Martha Stewart punch and what looks like a thin ribbon is a piece of the backing paper.

Please come and join us we love to visit you in return.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Angels

Over on Rainbow Lady's this week we want you to think of angels. For my design I used Craft Artist and an image from Joanna Sheen's Angels and Fairies cd which I have had for years.  This is an 8inch square and I have used various digi kits to get the look I wanted, I do hope you can come over and join us.

Things with Whiskers week 2

As we are being sponsored by Elegant Inspiration for two weeks I have made another card to go onto the blog. A fairly simple decoupaged card but time is tight at the moment.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Trees and Baubles

What an eventful week I've had, on Sunday my pc died, it was quite old and had had a hard life but it was so sad to see it go. I have been saving for such an event so happily I could afford to go out and buy a new one so was only without for a few days. The only thing is all my favourites and contacts and lots of other things are still stuck in the old one, I do hope my friends lovely hubby can manage to get something sorted for me so I can retrieve the things I need.
Anyway on to this week over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog, she has asked us to do Trees and Baubles and I decided to use a LOTV image as they are so cute and most of my friends and family are into cuteso this kind of card goes down really well.
The backing paper is from a Polka doodles cd and the the stamped sentiment is also a LOTV embossed with WOW powders.

Hope to see you over on the challenge blog so we can visit and see what you've been up to.

CD Sunday - Things with Whiskers

Good morning all, it's Sunday so another challenge from us over at CD Sunday and this week we are looking at Things with Whiskers.  This being the first Sunday of the month we are once again doing a sponsored challenge and this time we are running the challenge for two weeks so plenty of time to get your brains working and add something to the challenge.  I know some people are still doing Christmas cards and there are so many with mice and rabbits that I'm sure you could come up with something, in fact Santa himself has whiskers, lol.

My card didn't start out as a valentine's card but it sort of evolved into one, I have used an image from Lili of the Valley and the backing paper is from the Faye Whittaker collection from Joanna Sheen. I have used the fleur de lis  die from spellbinders but it wasn't large enough to do what I wanted so I cut out two one white and one red and cut them into four. I then fastened them to the back of the topper so it looks like the are just layered on top of each other. I then cut the corners from the same die set and put some gems on them. Once I'd done all that it looked like a good card for valentines day so I stamped the greeting and used the WOW embossing powders which I'm loving and it was complete.

We are giving away the fab Rachelle Anne Miller cd for this challenge and although the team got a cd each from the very generous Jo they arrived a little late for some of us so we will be showing you some more of the designs on the cd on the challenge blog next week but if you would lilke to see a few things I've done previously you will find them here

Hope to see you over at CD Sunday with some fab projects for us, see you there!

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Christmas Carol

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week we want you to think Christmas Carols, after all it's not too long to go now and I think it's ok to start getting a little excited.
For my card I have used a stamp from Artprints by Hero Arts which I have had for years, I have stamped and embossed in glittery gold powder and matted it onto gold card, the swirly embossed background was done with a mask through the Cuttlebug. A plain and simple card but it works for me. Hope you can come and join us as we are offering a voucher from joanna Sheen again this week.

CD Sunday - On Safari

It's time for another challenge over on CD Sunday and this week the theme is On Safari, I was going to use one of the big cat images on the JNM collections from Joanna Sheen but then I remembered that I had this image on one of the Cupcake cd's, this one is Walk on the Wildside.  I have used JNM for the backing paper which I'm not sure if you can see properly but has zebra's all over. I have used some of my precious tapestry card which I have punched with a deep punch from Martha Stewart.

I am quite pleased with the look of this card as I think it could quite easily be used for male or female birthdays, the sentiment is from a set by Lili of the Valley stamped in black and clear embossed.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Cards for Men

Over on Rainbow Lady's this week the theme Cynthia has chosen is cards for men, well we all know that men can be tricky but recently I have been buying some stamps that fit the bill perfectly.

This card is made with a fairly new set of stamps from Chocolate Baroque, I found the check background on the net and used Distress Inks to colour it, I liked the fack that it was already looking a bit grungy. The main image was stamped in black and embossed with clear then the bits of colour were done with more distress ink, I like the bigger chess pieces so wanted to use them so decided to ue them as focal points on the card. 

When I was putting the card together I noticed I had cut the background a tad too short so used a punch to do a border and hope it looks like it was designed that way. 

CD Sunday - Trees

Over on CD Sunday this week we are using trees as our theme for the challenge, I have chosen to use a stamp set from Glenda at Chocolate Baroque for my card. I know my card is a little plain but it is for a man and when I went to get my card candy I only had brown or blue and niether of these colours looked right so I have left it as it is, just the excuse I need to go shopping. The backing paper is from the Artylicious cd Decadent Brocade, I wanted something that would look as if it fitted in with the tree, not sure if it totally works but it's not bad.  The inked background is done with Distress inks, I used Stormy Sky, Scattered Straw and Forest Moss.

I hope you can come over and join us and have a look at the rest of the teams cards, some really nice things this week.

Rainbow Lady's challenge - Thanksgiving

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week we are thinking about our american cousins so the theme this week is Thanksgiving. For my sample I used Craft Artist, not sure where I'd be if I didn't have this fab little programme.

I guess if you have no need for a special thanksgiving card then you could just do a thank you, but please join in with us as we love to visit and see your wonderful ideas.

CD Sunday - Paisley Fun

Over at CD Sunday this week the theme is paisley fun, well it may be fun for some but as it's not my favourite design type it wasn't really fun for me. I didn't have a clue what I was going to do so this card is done in a bit of a panic as I only finished it yesterday.

I found the image on the internet by googling paisley images so I don't know who did it originally but I won't try to claim it as my own. I printed the backing paper from Joanna Sheen's Enchanted Dreams and the lace is some I bought earlier in the year and have been using it sparingly, I really need to get some more.  The sentiment is Lily of the Valley and is embossed with Sparkle and Sprinkle in Blueberry.

I do hope you can come and join us and I'm sure you will have far better ideas than I have, just check out the rest of the team.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Inspired by a picture

Over on Rainbow Lady's this week we want you to do something that has been inspired by the picture that Cynthia has taken. The picture is of a beautiful pink pointsettia so we really needed to use something with pink and green.

My choice for this week is a pretty stamp that I've had for years and I'm not sure where I bought it but it's an Inca stamp, I have hardly used it but decided to give it another go and it has turned out all right this time, I stamped it in Versamark and then used green WOW embossing powder, I bought a kit at the NEC and it was a real bargain so am well pleased with it, I will be buying more of these powders.

I have used a Marianne folder to do the background and the sentiment is from LOTV, another NEC purchase.

I do hope you can come and join us we love seeing the beautiful things you produce.

CD Sunday - Sunset

This week on CD Sunday we have a great sponsor and she has given the design team a kit to play with, I have been playing with the images and all the bits and pieces but as soon as I saw these stamps from Glenda at Chocolate Baroque I knew I wanted to include them into my card for this week.
I used the backing papers in the kit for both the piece behind the stamped image and the backing paper I used as a base. I also used a sentiment from the JNM cd as it was already done and the colour matched perfectly.

I love the little kit Caroline has given us and I will be buying more as everything matches so well. I do hope you can join us and as Caroline is offering a digi image of the winners choice then it is worth giving it a go.

Looking forward to seeing you during the week.

La Blanche Stamped Card

I got a couple of new stamps today, I have seen them around but never tried them and now, well I'm going to be hooked I think. The stamps are so fine and stamp perfectly, this one is the first image and it's so crisp I am blown away with them.

The backgound is a piece of paper from the Basic Grey pad Indian Summer which I have overstamped with a small swirly design using Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. The wordy backing is a stamp from Creative Impressions stamped in black and then tinted with the Frayed Burlap, the bits of colour are done with Promarkers. I am quite pleased with this so wanted to show you all.

CD Sunday - Puss Cat

Over at CD Sunday this week we have a great theme, this week we are thinking of Cats. I have recently been adopted by a cat and we are trying to get the dog to accept her, not with a lot of luck at the moment but given time I know we will get there.

I decided that as it's so close to Christmas that I would make a Christmas card, I don't know where time has gone as last year I had all my cards made by November but this year I've done very few. This image has come from Joanna Sheen's Ivory Cats cd, I just love the look on the cats face but then all the cats on this cd are lovely and I could have opened up any of the sections and found something I could have used.

I hope you can come over and join us, you know we  love to see you and this week we are saying goodbye to Pamela who has been a super guest this last month and has made something a little bit different this week.

More Halloween - Rainbow Lady's Spooks and Witches

Over on Rainbow Lady's blog this week we want you to think Spooks and Witches as it's is almost Halloween and it's time to celebrate.
For my card I have used a few free downloads, the background is from last year from Glenda at Chocolate Baroque and the words and the little witch with her cat is from the Polkadoodles web site.  The card is coloured with rusty hinge distress inks then stamped with Paris Dusk Memento ink. I do hope you can come on over and join us, I'm also entering this into the Polkadoodles challenge too which this week is Halloween.

CD Sunday - Halloween

Hello again and welcome to another Sunday morning, this week on CD Sunday we are thinking about preparing for Halloween so I have started off with this little number that I put together in Craft Artist.  The background was a free download from Glenda Waterworth last year and I have added bits to it to build the scene.

I do hope you can come and join in with us and have a bit of spooky fun, the rest of the design team have been busy and our guest Pamela has made enough for everyone as she loves Halloween and judging by the amount of things she has made is going to be having a party, do go to her blog and have a look.

Use Silver - Rainbow Lady's Challenge

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge this week we were told to use silver, inspired by Cynthia and Geoff's silver wedding anniversary(Happy Anniversary to you both), I misunderstood the wording and thought we should just use silver which I have done but what I should have done was make an anniversary card. So if you fancy joining us don't do what I did but make an anniversary card with silver on it.

Anyway on to the card, the background was done with Distress Inks and splashed with water to make it look like it's snowing, the stamps are all from a set from Chocolate Baroque stamped with versamark and embossed with silver then coloured with Promarkers and sprinkled with copious amounts of glitter. The tree in the front has some peel off bits on it to make it look like it had shiny baubles on it.

Please pop over and have a look at the challenge and have a go, we love to come and visit you.

CD Sunday - Around the World

Over at CD Sunday this week we are going Around the World, so I have chosen to use Egypt as my place. The images and the hieroglyphics are from Joanna Sheen's Egyptian Adventure and the frame is from a digi kit I have in Craft Artist.  I have no idea what the symbols represent but as I got them from the cd I think I am fairly safe and won't be saying anything rude.

I hope you can come over and join in with us and have a bit of fun travelling even if it is only from your chair!

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Falling Leaves

This is my card for our great challenge over on Rainbow Lady's Challenge blog, this week we want you to be thinking of autumn and use the theme falling leaves. The leaves on my card were made by using some colourwash on plain copy paper then spritzing with some glimmer mists. While it was wet I scrunched the paper and then laid it out to dry. Once it was dry I cut the leaves out on the cuttlebug.

We have a super sponsor this week as Elegant Inspiration has given us a copy of the new cd to give as a prize, I'm sure you will have seen this on C&C but if not check out Cynthia's blog as she has some samples for you to have a look at, plus there is a link to the Elegant Inspiration web site in my sidebar where the cd will be available to buy late on Friday.

Hope you can come and join us, we love company.

Rachelle Anne Miller Collection

This is one of the sample cards I made from the brand new cd from a brand new company, the artist is Canadian and her artwork is stunning so it was so easy to work with the images and hopefully produce samples that everyone will like.

For this week the cd is only available from Create and Craft but it should be available elsewhere once the week is over.

The giraffes were my favourite once I started to work with the images but the mouse is also a favourite

Try to catch the shows on C&C, I'm sure you'll love this cd and as it also has cutting files on it then if you own a cutting machine it's a must have.

CD Sunday - Wine Buff

Over on CD Sunday this week the theme is Wine Buff, well there I was thinking I didn't have anything to suit the theme so I was a bit stuck.  I searched the internet for an image and found this one, thought it was a little bit of fun so decided to use it. 

Now I have been making some samples for a brand new cd which has just been launched on Create and Craft this week, The Rachelle Anne Miller Collection from Elegant Inspiration.  I decided to use some of the backing papers from the cd, the different shades of colour work really well together so I decided to use the blue to pick out the colour of the shirt.  I had a bit of a play in Craft Artist and this is what I came up with, hope you like it and you'll pop over to the CD Sunday blog and join us, we'd love to have you visit.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - In the Misty Moonlight

This is my card for the challenge we have over on Rainbow Lady's blog this week, we are being sponsored once again by the lovely Joanna Sheen abd this week the theme is In the Misty Moonlight.

I have used the Enchanted Dreams cd and this picture is one of my favourite ones. I have used a backing paper from another image as I thouoght the fireworks went really well with the fireworks in the image. The word Celebrate is stamped in versamark and embossed with silver, and I have used my Martha Stewart punch to do the heart trim.

I do hope you can come and join us and maybe win a voucher to spend in Joanna's shop.

A 50th birthday card

I don't know what it is with my friends and family but whenever they reach a grand age i.e. a milestone year they don't want their ages on the cards.

This card and sorry it's not the best picture but it was taken at 11.30pm is for one of my workmates, she will be 50 on Tuesday so I have decided that no age on the card means plenty of bling! The corners are covered with stones, it was a pack I got with two corners but I decided the I would cut away the single line and use that on two of the corners and the swirly bits on the other two corners.

The image and backing papers are from Debbi Moore's Diamonds and Lace cd, I am quite pleased with it and hopefully it will suit her as she is quite a fussy bod,lol. Oh yes and I usedsome of my precious lace across the page too, good job I like her!

CD Sunday - Nature's Wonders

Good morning all, it's another Sunday so that means another  challenge over at CD Sunday. This week we have chosen the theme Nature's Wonders, we were given some stamps from the lovely Sue from Creative Expressions and she has also donated a prize which was so generous that we have managed to get four prizes out of it. There are some Christmas stamp sheets to be won and as they are all different it will be a bit of a lucky dip as to who gets what.

My card this week is made with some fab card I bought at Port Sunlight earlier in the year, I do love dark colours, I also used a spare piece to stamp onto with a background stamp which I have embossed with silver and then cut out with one of my nesties,  the stamped image is from the set the DT were given to use and this has been coloured with Promarkers and a bit of chalk. The cd comes into it as the blue paper is printed from the backing paper section of the Thomas Kinkade cd by Joanna Sheen, it a very pretty pattern but it doesn't show in the picture.  I used Promarkers to colour the ribbon and the top of the pins so everything matches. I do hope you will come and join us and hopefully win yourself a prize, we'd love to see you.

CD Sunday - Winter Wonderland

Hello everyone and thanks for dropping by, this week over on CD Sunday we want you to think Winter Wonderland.

I have had a great time doing my card for this challenge, I know it won't win any awards but it was a pleasant change using the Cricut to cut everything on the card. I printed several different papers from Season's Greetings by Artylicious and then cut out the trees and houses, sleigh and reindeer on the Cricut. Even the background was cut so it was quite easy to do. I cut the different layers out in contrasting papers and the church was meant to have the pattern on the outside the same as the other houses but somehow I managed to mix them up so that ended up plain with the pattern behind. I think it looks ok so didn't have to cut another set out. The snowman is a bit on the large side but we are in fanatasy land here,lol, I cannot find my fine gold thread to make the reins so at the moment the reindeer are on trust to stay put.

I hope you like my wonderland and will pop over to the challenge blog and join in with us, we love to see you.

Oh I forgot to say I used Winter Woodland Cartidge for everything here and I used copious amounts of glitter.

Rainbow Lady's challenge - White Space

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week the challenge is plenty of white space, I chose to use the digi of three daisies from the choice supplied by Card Mad Fairies who are sponsoring us this week. I do struggle with the less is more type of card so this has taken me out of my comfort zone a little bit even though I do try.

The flowers were coloured with Promarkers and the edges done with a fine liner pen, the ribbon is ruffled onto a piece of strong tape.  I do hope you can come and join us we would love to see what you do.

I would also like to add this to the LIM challenge which is anything goes and they are hoping for 1000 entries this week so hopefully they will get there.

CD Sunday - Black and Blue

Over on CD Sunday this week we want you to think Black and Blue, I have used Joanna Sheen's Dancing with Shadows for my card. I used this cd a lot when it first came out but it has been sitting neglected on the shelf for quite a while now so this is a good excuse to bring it out again. I have used a tapestry card for this card, and yes I know it's quite extravagant but sometimes we just have to use our special card and paper.

I was really pleased with the colour of the bow as it was white to begin with and I used one of my promarkers to colour it and I have to say it's a pretty good match.  I also used my promarkers to colour the pearls, I cut the frames with my Cricut and all in all I am quite pleased with the end result.

I do hope you like my card this week and also that you will join us in our current challenge.
