As i said in my last post last night, i have some pictures from my trip to London, but first i have a card that i have made. it is for a friends sister's birthday, i have a couple of them over the last couple of weeks.

Any way back to my pictures of London,

Lack of posts

I feel as i have been neglecting my blog a bit lately, i haven't had much time over the last couple of weeks, with doing my veg patch in the gardening and last week i was on holiday in London meeting friends. I had a fab time, we went to see Wicked which was fab, the London eye again ( my hubby proposed to me on the London eye 6 years), and a trip to the Kipling shop on regent street, where purchases were made. i will hopefully bring you some pictures later in the week and some more cards. It's my hubby birthday on Saturday so i will be posting then with his card. will be back in the week......see you then.

A friend asked me to make her sister a card for her birthday, and she said anything goes, which is great for me as that's the name of this weeks Passion for Promarks challenge.

Blue for a change

Well i have enjoyed the first of my two days off making lots of cards and blog hopping, i have found a couple of new blogs that i like the look of, and some new challenge blogs, one i have decided to enter today. Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenge. There challenge is a sketch challenge, and here is my entry

die cut but I like sketch challenge's as they make think, i have to use more colours, papers and any else i can find in my craft stash. So for today card i have used Daisy the camper van stamp from Little Claire Designs, coloured in using promarkers and again in my new favour it colour of the moment blue, and cut out with nestabilities - classic scalloped circles large, the paper is DCWV, flowers, card stock from my craft stash, brads are from Papermania Glitter brads and the swirls the top right corner and bottom left, i used a Sizzixdon't know what it's called as i have had it for so long, but cut them out in blue glitter card

I do have a top tip for you today. I have been making a card for a friend, she loves glitter and i had finished making the my stamped image kept falling off. A couple of weeks ago i went to the Secret Crafter shop as it's only 10 minuets away from me, and told me about Collall Photoglue, they said it will stick anything - and there were right. I used it on the card (after it had fell off 3 times) and it works (it hasn't fell off all afternoon). So now I'm really happy and thought I'd should pass the information on to fellow crafter.

Hope you like the new card until next time

A new challenge

I have finally made my new challenge card for the Secret Crafter - Saturday blog challenge 82 - 3 embellishments, 2 papers, 1 image. I have been finding it hard the last couple of weeks to have any crafty mojo, but i hope it back this week. I have a real blue theme going on, i really love the duckegg blue promarker and i have found some really great papers that i had tucked away in the cupboard.


so for this weeks challenge i have used Pollycraft's shorbet - daydream stamp, coloured in using promorker(duckegg blue), papers are from Docarfts Big one (over 200 papers) silver mirror card, flower, ribbon and gems from my craft stash. Hope you like it, i will be back later in the week with some new cards as i have booked a couple of days off, so I'm planning on card making.

New Baby

I can not believe that a week has gone by and i haven't posted a new card, i feel like my creativeness had gone on a walk this week, this is the first week that i haven't entered a challenge. I have made lots of cards but nothing i would enter, my card that i made for the Pollycraft challenge - make your own flowers was going really well until i stared having problems with the ribbon, so i decided to leave it for this week. I have made a new baby card from my friend, this is her third boy, she was hoping for a girl.

I have used the Pollycraft Freebie Willie, coloured in using promarkers, background paper from buzzcraft, buttons, banner and ribbon from my craft stash. I do like this card it is one of my better cards made this weekend. Here is another card that i think worked out ok.

I have used Pollycraft's Sherbet - Seeds of Love, (one of the many new stamps i have purchased this week), coloured in using promarkers, DCWV butterfly background paper and the butterfly punch from Docrafts. Hope you like them.

Pollycraft Challenge

I'm really last entering this weeks Pollycraft challenge, yesterday i went to a craft class at the Secret crafter, where i was shown how to colour using promarkers, where i learnt how to shade and blend my colours in. Since then i have been playing with my new stamps and pens. But for the Pollycraft challenge - sketch by Sue, i have used Fluffy which i have to say i really like, i have coloured him in using promarkers, papers are from hello spaceboy from prima, buttons and banner from my craft stash. I'm not very confident when it comes to putting more than one piece of background paper on a card, but i do like this one that i have made. Hope you like to

Weekend in the sun

What a lovely weekend it has been, the sun has been shining and it's time to go in the garden. I had a lovely afternoon at a local garden centre on Saturday where i manged to get all my flowers and vegetable plants for this year.

I have still had time to make some cards, i have made a card my cousin's son's birthday.

I have used fluffy from Pollycraft, coloured in with promarkers, and paper from the Docrafts men's range. I have also made a card from my mom's friend's birthday.

I have a blue theme going on today, i have used Codi with flowers from Pollycraft, paper from DCWV and ribbon and flowers from my craft stash. Hope you like, and i will hopefully be back later in the week.

Spring is here

I think spring is finally here, after a horrible winter, it's really nice to have some sun. So today with that in mine i thought I'd make my challenge card for Just Cute Bears - Green and Yellow Challenge and also enter in to the Secret Crafter - Saturday Challenge How Does Your Garden Grow.

I have used Lili of the Valley bear with flower stamp,coloured in using promarkers, paper from DCWV The Glitter Stack, yellow glitter card stock and flowers, brads and ribbon from my local craft shop. i am really getting in to stamping at the moment and love using promarkers, i do also us watercolour, but the promarkers are winning hands down at the moment. Hope you like my card, i will be back later with some more cards.

I'm back after making Easter card, to making challenge cards. I am going to try and enter two challenges with one cards. Lili of the Valley - who's theme is Blue and Sliver and Pollycraft Monday Challenge - which is anything goes. I have used Thomas - big bunch of flowers stamp, coloured in usingtpromarkers, sliver mirror card, and blue paper from Docrafts the Big One, which i have for ages, and flowers from my craft stash.
