Flutter By Wednesday Challenge

Hi guys,

On the Flutter By Wednesday Challenge blog it was follow a sketch and this is what I made. I used:

Blossoms nesties
Paper from crop box that was collecting dust

Ribbon from stash

Card candy and a sticker

Can not forget the lovely stamp from Lili of the Valley called Rose Fairy

To make this flower I cut 8 smallest blossom nesties and then just screwed them all up. Added a brad into the middle and then unfurled the edges a little bit until I was happy.

Thanks for looking

Another 4 in 1 card

Hi guys,

I made this card for 4 challenges.......I am getting good.......I wish!

First challenge is for the ABC challenge which is C for charm. This is new to me as I don't ever use charms. I have a few but not many....actually I think I have 5 left.

I crochet the flower myself with wool that I have in a box and used my 3mm hook. Because of the wool flower I am going to add this to the Cute Card Thursday challenge. The theme for this is material girl and material had to be used on the card so I think my flower will work for this.

Third challenge is I love Pormarkers, I coloured my lovely image in with Pormarkers and this image is a Lelo Design........he is so sweet. The theme at I love Promarkers is Myth and Magic and I associate Dragons with Myth even is he is so cute.

And the fourth challenge is Inspiration card Sketch challenge using they very nice sketch.

Well I think I have covered everything here.....so thank you for looking and please leave me a comment even if it to say Hi.

Duncan's card from me.Dad and Jennifer

Hi guys,

These are the cards that I made for Duncan's Birthday (Dingusdee).

This is the card from Dad. Well there is a little story on this......Dad is a Leeds Utd fan and Duncan is a Scunthorpe fan and now they are in the same league. So the fighting in the house as started. Dad asked for a card in Leeds Utd colours as he knew Duncan would love it........NOT. It is a good thing that Duncan as a sense of humour.

This is the card from Jennifer. Daddy like's his baking so I stamped a few cupcakes on the background and embossed them in different coloured powders. I then made a 3d larger cupcake.

This card is from me. It was my first attempt at a step card. I am not quite happy with it but Duncan loved it.

I hope you like and thanks for looking.

Spyder's Challenge

Hi guys,


I have been having a look into the blogging world and I had to pop over to see Lyn (Spyder). Her blog is ace and she has a challenge to use one of her digi images. All you have to do is e-mail her for the image and then.......just crafting and add to her blog. So here is my go at using this lovel image.....................




I saw the image and had to drag the pencils out to colour the image in. I used my Martha Stewart punch and card that was in my crop box. I tried to use my sewing machine and if you have a couple of glasses of wine I am sure the sewing will become very straight.........ok maybe a bottle of wine to make them look straight. I also used my oval nesties.

I hope you like.

Cards for Cancer Research UK

Hi guys,

I have been quiet for a little while so i hope you have not missed me too much....LOL.

These are cards that I have made for the local Cancer Research UK. They are so many charities it is so hard to keep up and so hard to afford them all so I saw the empty bags at the local shop and thought that I could do this. I have made a few and I don't think my cards have lasted long in the shop. So I need to make more.

Hope you like them.

1 card 3 challenges

Hi guys,




Yes you are reading correctly 1 card 3 challenges.........I think I am getting adventurous in my old age........be warned!!!! LOL





Here is my card:





I used my circle nesties to make the flowers.
Lace from stash that I have to admit as been sat in a drawer for years.
Chalks to do the little bit of distressing around the image.
Stamps from the Paws-fur-a-moment collection
The patterned paper I do not know where that came from just been sat in crop box for too long.
A heart brad and pencil crayons to colour.

I can hear you asking which challenges well here is the answer:

1) Wild Orchid Challenge which had to feature lovely lace which I have surrounded the bottom flower in. Something a little bit different.

2) Cute Card Thursday the theme was Whateva - Anything goes so I decided this card would fit the theme.

3)Delightful Sketches - Distressing - Which I did around the lovely image with pink chalk and I am happy with the effect.

So thank you for looking and let me know you have a little look.
