Daring Card Makers - Wedding / Anniversary

I'm the host for the new Daring Card Makers challenge and the theme is

Wedding / Anniversary

I get a lot of requests to make these wordbooks and this one was requested by a work colleague as she was to be a bridesmaid at the Wedding.

Made from linen effect white card with my own letter templates.  The letters are added to the pages with foam pads and I've dotted liquid pearls around the edges.

Sizzix cut tag has been handwritten and I've used ribbon from my stash (bought especially as that is the bridesmaid colour!) and half pearls also from my stash.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or Bright Colours

It's time for a new Polkadoodles challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to make something bright and I've gone with the cute Kitty Whiskers die set from the Great Outdoors Collection.  The backing paper is from the Just Smile paper pack and the frame has been made with the Fabulous Mitred Frame set.  The letters and frame have been cut from the Fur and Skin papers and the letters are a Sizzix die.

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 26 - Bugaboo

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 again I couldn't decide which image to use so I've gone for both!  First up is Kidz Jack which I've coloured with Promarkers and I've added papers I found in my stash along with ribbons, button and half pearls to make a cute little boy card.

And I've used Dottie Baking, again coloured her with Promarkers along with papers from my stash and ribbons and a cute birthday cake charm.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Little Miss Muffet Challenge - 192 - Anything Goes

It's time for a new Little Miss Muffet Challenge and the theme, as always is

Anything Goes

The challenge lasts for two weeks and you could win a $10 gift certificate to the store!  I've used Pick Me Up Truck, coloured with Promarkers and I came across the papers when looking for something else!

The 'sand' is an embossed cardstock 12x12 stack from The Works (£3 for 24 sheets) and the aqua and patterned paper were in a starter pack when I bought my Sizzix machine.

Sizzix die cut tag that I've handwritten plus a bit of freehand doodling with a black fine liner pen and the clouds are Memory Box dies.  Good luck with the challenge!

Another Father's Day Pint

Here I am again with another Father's Day card using Pint Glass from Dr Digi along with a sentiment from the Father's Day sheet which I've printed onto kraft card.  The image I've shaded with a black fine liner pen - its so nice to be able to do this rather than use colour!

The papers I found in my stash when I had a tidy up a while ago.  Not got a clue where they are from but they fitted the theme perfectly!  Black elastic has been recycled from something else - not got a clue from where - just found it!

Daring Cardmakers Challenge - Wonderful World

New Daring Cardmakers challenge!  And this week the theme is

Wonderful World

Kathy has chosen the lyrics from Louis Armstrong's A Wonderful World for inspiration and I've made this funky card using a no longer available sentiment from Jellypark.  I printed it directly onto the cardstock and cut round it, adding glitter to the stars and then making the banner with an X Cut star die cuts attached to two BBQ sticks.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 25 - Blog Candy

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

Anything Goes

This week we don't have a sponsor for the challenge but there is some blog candy on offer for the lucky winner!

I've used a no longer available Kenny K image, coloured with Promarkers and then added to the large numbers which are my own templates, using papers from Dovecraft - Back to Basics 3 which I've had to paper piece together as the stack was only 6x6.

I've added liquid pearl dots around the edges of the numbers and also on the banners plus half pearls here and there.  Sentiment has been cut with Clearly Besotted dies.  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Bear Frame

And some more Polkadoodles loveliness from the recent Hochanda show!  This is the Beary Cute Great Outdoors Die and all the papers used are from the Great Outdoors paper pack.  The letters have been cut with a Sizzix die and the frame made with the Fabulous Mitred Frames die set.  The background is a paper from The Great Outdoors pad and I've added some waxed cord from my stash to make the frame hanger.

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 161 - Anything Goes

Time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme, as always is

Anything Goes

This week, I'm sponsored by Dr Digi and the prize is two single images of the winners choice from the store.  I've used Snowman (who won't break the bank at just 50p!) and coloured it up with Promarkers.  Papers are random offcuts I found in my stash and the ribbon, half pearls and wooden snowflake are also all from my stash.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Little Miss Muffet Challenge - 191 - Inspiration

We are half way through the current Little Miss Muffet challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

For inspiration, I've used Polka Dot Pals Morgan and coloured her up with Promarkers and to represent one of my local U7s girls teams (who are actually very good!)

The papers are from a now retired Polkadoodles download and they were offcuts from a previous project and I had to be clever as to how to get them to fit on the card base - so there are gaps underneath that you can't see!

Sentiment is a magazine freebie stamp and black card is from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!
