Happy Birthday ...

Today at Passion for Promakers we don't want to see any squares/rectangles so I have gone for my first ever rocker card using this delightful Tilda from the new collection called 'Lost & Found'

by Magnolia.

Card base was cut with a scalloped die and folded in half using some card from my stash.

I have used flowers, cloth, ribbon, sentiment, hand stitched & clear heat embossed

the balloon along with a few layers of decoupage.

The polka dot paper is from Nitwit collections and also the pressie pile too.

Kit currently on sale!

This weeks sponsors are the

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

Please come and play along this week

take care love

Birthday Boy ...

Here is some more inspiration for our challenge at

A Little Bit Crafty which for the month of February

is titled 'Man Up'.  Really pleased with how this turned out, Edwin came to me this

Christmas and I have used another Wobble Spring for the football for some movement.

This card is for my Son, grown up now but loves his football.

The papers are once again from Nitwit Collections

I have used ribbon, netting, gems, turf.  Hand stitched complete

with football corners.  Coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment  

was made on my Silhouette.

Why not come and play along with us, we do neglect the boys in card making

and I know it is hard to make for them but if you play along with us that will be another

card off the list!

Sending U my Love ...

Clean and simple but a cutie from me today with James & laptop.

Totally 'dotty' about this one, took me hours!!

Tried to get a bit techy with the wording too.

Pretty simple, Kraft card base, mat, layer & sentiment on my Portrait

and coloured with Promarkers.  A little hand stitching and a glittered dome heart to finish.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge -

Graph'It Marker Challenge - Floral/Love (I Won Top 3)!

Love is in the air ...

Look at this fabulous new kit from Nitwit Collections

called Truly Madly Deeply, plenty of papers and elements (as always)

and a kit that is going to be very popular me thinks!

I have really enjoyed playing with it, all I have added is a card blank, white ribbon,

a charm, pearl heart, hand stitched and a button.

There is a sentiment in the kit which says 'all you need is love' which I was

using until I had a light bulb moment and made my own using the papers.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, have a good week love

L O V E ...

Nitwit Collections have released the most adorable kit titled

  'Ladies & Gentlemen'

and I couldn't wait to have a play with it.

Now I have only used one layer to show off the gorgeous papers but you can see

a selection of the others incorporated in the bunting!

Not forgetting all the other goodies in the kit, plenty to inspire, love it.

I have used Tilda, flower, ribbon, ladybird, buttons, pearls & butterfly.

A little hand stitching, goes without saying.

The 'Love' embellishment was inspired by the paper and quite simply

is six or so layers of cardstock cut out and stuck together, finished off with Gesso.

I am back again tomorrow, see you there.

Celebrate in Style ...

I have been playing with one of my new Tilda's for this card using the gorgeous new kit

from Nitwit Collections called 'Snow Princess'. 

 As you can see there is no snow to be seen, there are some gorgeous snowflakes papers & embellishments in the kit but there are plenty of non snow papers too, soooo pretty.  Aqua & purple look great together don't they?

Nitwits also have 25% off selected kits including the lovely 'Cottage Charm' kit I used 

on my last post, so why not go and have a browse and spend a few pennies too!

I have used dressing table, sentiment, die, flowers, ribbon, doily, charm, Frantage and some Gesso.

Completely hand stitched and if you want to know what colour I used to match the papers

in the land of Promarkers, well mainly Bluebell, so that will give you an idea of the kit.

Almost the weekend, yey. 

Hip Hip Hooray ...

Today at Passion for Promarkers we are launching a new challenge

and this week we want 'Ribbon, Lace & Twine'

and I am so excited to finally share this box card.

As soon as I saw this delightful stamp I new she would look great suspended and

if you can see from the picture below she is also on a wobble spring!

I have stamped the image underneath for extra depth.  I have used springs

in the past but only just discovered these fabulous wobble springs, they are plastic

so don't loose there shape and have clear adhesive, perfect, really pleased with it.

Enough of my excitement to share, I have used papers, lace frame, sentiment is CG, banner, flowers,

butterflies, ribbon, twine, charm, pearls & gems.
