My First DT Card!

I'm very excited to show you all my first DT card for Skattykats. The theme of challenge 6, which runs until next Wednesday, is 'Think Spring' and there are some lovely papers, blooms and ribbons up for grabs for the lucky winner.

I've used K&Co paper, Sizzix flower die and a gorgeous Tina Wenke stamp which is available here.

Carol's Sketch Fun #22 - Sketch
Cupcake Craft Challenge #81 - Flower Power
Tanda Teaser #137 - Simply Spring

A very Happy Oliver!

This post has absolutely nothing to do with card making or any other craft for that matter but I just had to share this photo with you. It's of one of my cats, Oliver, road testing the new sofa. I think he approves, don't you?

Best Wishes Puppy & Shades of Grey

With the nicer weather we are having at the moment and the fact that my house is just about back to normal I've been feeling a little more inspired and I've managed to cards today.

My first card is for three challenges
1. Sketch Saturday #93 (I really liked this sketch and will be using it again!)
2. Die Cut Dreams #38 - No Flowers Allowed!
3. Allsort Challenges #42 - Just For men.

I've used Bazzill card, K&Co paper, Craftwork Crads Card Candy, nestabilities, Personal Impression sentiment stamp and the super-cute puppy (Wilbur) digi stamp is from Pollycraft, coloured with PMs.

My second card is just for the one challenge, Secret Crafter #73 - Shades of Grey. I used Papermania card and paper, nestabilities, card candy and the stamp is a foam one from QVC. I had every intention of adding more embellishments and bling but I got this far and decided I quite liked it nice and simple. 

Friday Sketchers, PFP and Crafty Catz

My second card today is for 3 challenges;
Friday Sketchers #91 - Sketch
Passion for Promarkers #41 - Theme, Back to Nature
Crafty Catz #21 - Fancy Edge and Ribbon.

I've used K&Co paper, Papermania card, Nestabilities, digi image from Pollycraft and ribbon from stash

Skattykats Make it for Mum Challenge

Kat at Skattykats has a new challenge 'Make it for Mum' and she is giving away this yummy candy to the lucky winner, it includes 12 sheets of 6x6 paper from the MME wild-asparagus collection, around 20 blooms and 3 yards of ribbon. The challenge closes at 8pm 10th March, so you have plenty of time to enter.

I will update this post later with my card, I have a couple of images that I coloured yesterday which I had in mind for Mother's Day so watch this space.

As promised here is my Make it for Mum card....

Home again!

I'm back from my hols, two weeks in a not so sunny Gran Canaria! To be fair we did have some nice weather but for 4 days it rained heavily and the wind was so bad it uprooted a few trees! We did our best to have a nice time though and consoled ourselves with the fact it was still warmer than in the UK plus we didn't have to go to work.
I did miss my crafting though and I can't wait to get back into it once we've had our carpet fitted tomorrow and I can at last unearth all my craft stuff from the conservatory. I'm also very excited to be given my first DT post over at Skattykats and looking forward to sharing my creations with you soon. I believe Kat is looking for one more DT member so if you fancy giving it a go pop on over to her blog.
