I've made this cute simple card using a freebie image from Sherbert Lane and I've coloured using Promarkers and added my own sentiment.  A line of liquid pearl dots around the edge of the image and the card is complete!

 It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Bugaboo and I've used this fab image - Birthday Bird 01 which I've coloured with Promarkers and added glossy accents to his eyes.  I've used some stamps from my stash for the sentiment and the stars are cut using an X Cut die and offcuts I've found in my stash.


Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge - Romance

It's time for a new Polkadoodle challenge and this week the theme is

Anything Goes

I've used the Heart Flourish die and cut it out three times using the same card and then glued to the card front.  I found some sparkly heart embellishments in my stash (whilst looking for something else) and also some half pearls which I've added to the swirls and flourishes.

I've scored a border around the edge of the card and added some ribbon from my stash.


Good luck with the challenge!

Caffeinated Craig

I'm still trying to use up all the digital papers I've got printed in my stash that I've had for quite some time so here is Caffeinated Craig from Dr Digi rocking some Funky Hand papers that are no longer available.  These are all left over bits n bobs so had to be creative with what I had!


Craig has been coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment stamp is one from my stash.

This week we are sponsored by Polkadoodles and the acrylic stamp I've used is no longer available, but I do like it!  I stamped it ages ago and its been languishing in my stash and as I'm determined to use up everything I have, here it is!  I've used Promarkers to colour plus some glitter glue and an old X Cut die for the shape.  Liquid pearls around the edge and I've cut the sentiment twice to give it some depth.

Daring CardMakers - January Inspirational Challenge

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week as it is the first Friday of the month, is and inspirational board - just pick at least 3 different elements to include in your creation (colour counts as one choice):



I've used a retired image by From The Heart Stamps which I printed off years ago and never got round to using it and as I'm really wanting (and needing!) to use what I have, this was the perfect image to use.  Papers, lace and twine are all from my stash and stuff that I've had for quite some time too.  I've used Promarkers to colour and then added some half pearls to finish.


I've used the following elements from the inspiration board:  cup, the rich colours, pattern on the lace, lettering and overall wintery feel.

Good luck with the challenge!

Keep Fit Kenneth

Still with the getting active theme, Keep Fit Kenneth from Dr Digi is trying his best!  I've coloured him with Promarkers and used some really old Funky Hand papers that I've had in my stash for a rather long time.  I also found some peel offs which I've used for the sentiment and the stars.

I'm on a mission this year to use up all the digi's I have already printed in my stash and to work through all the papers too - I'm quite appalled as to how much stuff I have and I need to use it!!  So there will be some creativity with little bitty pieces of paper!!
