Winter Wonderland ...

Today it is my honor to be the Guest Design over at 

 for the whole month of November! 

Thank you so much Karen.

The challenge this week is titled 

'All that Glitters' 

and James Snow Angel was just perfect for this one. 

Plenty of glitter & puff paint too.  I have used papers, ribbon, border die & domes.

Completely hand stitched, Promarkers & the matting & layering including the sentiment

were all cut on the Silhouette.

Why not come and play along with us, nice & easy for this time of the year with all

those Christmas cards completed, not!

Take care, love 

Boo ...

It is that time of year once again when we celebrate Halloween so this weeks challenge at

Passion for Promarkers is titled 'Spooky'.  

I am not one for Halloween myself so I used this

cute little Tilda to look like she was saying BOO!

I have used papers, sentiment, flowers, ribbon, netting.

The matting & layering once again along with the sentiment & the spider were

all cut using the Silhouette.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is 

who have a £ 10 voucher up for grabs for the winner!

I would like to enter this into the following challenge -

Crafty Catz - Halloween (I Won)!

Take care, love

Summer Fun ...

I am still clutching onto Summer with my shaped card today and the theme this week 

at Passion for Promarkers

as chosen by the lovely Sue is 'Embossing Dry or Heat!

I have gone for both, one layer has been dry embossed using

Co'redinations White Wash card, there is the Frantage which in this case looks

like sand and finally the black on the view finders have been heat embossed using

a basic clear embossing powder to give the look of film.

I have used papers, Tilda, butterflies, charm, corner, web, dew drops,

twine & flowers.  The view finders were cut on the Silhouette along with all the layering.

The base card shape was cut using Go Create die.  Postcard stamps.

Completely hand stitched as always.

Our fabulous sponsor this week is

Peace on Earth ...

Today I have a Gorjuss, I think quite literally!  Never happy coloring in red Promarkers but this is my best yet (well I think so).  I have used Prismas over the pens to add definition and it is definitely something I will be doing again.  These lovely Gorjuss girls look great when they are in such striking colours.

Another fabulous sunny day and I am making Christmas cards, good old British weather.   Onto the recipe, papers are from Summertime Designs and slightly distressed with TH inks.  The flowers are Prima Painterly Petals Hydrageas and the ribbon is from the packaging.  A few dew drops, a pin and some gems and hey presto, done.

The sentiment is a rub on from HOTP in a kit I have had for yonks and they were designed for Great Big Brads.

If Mr Blogger is behaving you should be able to see today's card but I will be on a Thames Clipper on my way to  The O2 Arena to see Lee Evans on this Road Runner tour, can't wait!

Take care, enjoy your evening
