Seeing Spots

Long time no see! My first challenge card for absolutely ages is for Clearly Besotted Challenge #2 - Seeing Spots. I'm into a more simple style of card at the moment which I think is reflected in this card.

The butterfly stamp and die is from Clearly Besotted and the Happy Birthday die is from Britannia Dies.

Cute Kitties

Today I thought I would share with you one (or seven!) of the things that have been keeping me busy lately. Having lost my beloved cat, Oliver, at aged 18 earlier in the year the house seemed too empty without a cat so in April we had a trip to the local Cats Protection... and came home with Lola who was expecting kittens! A week or two later six little bundles of fluff arrived and for the following ten weeks we watched them grow into beautiful bundles of mischief.  Lola, Lily and Maurice are staying with us and are keeping us on our toes!

Pink Tulips

Two cards in two weeks, i'll give myself a clap ;) This one is for Sketch Saturday #216, I Love Promarkers #125 - Circles and Passion for Promarkers #157 - Ginghams/Checks.

Penny Black Saturday

My first blog post in ages, no excuses I've just been lazy! This card is for the Penny Black Saturday July Challenge which is 'Summertime'. I'm also entering Stampalot July Challenge which is 'Whats your Crafty Passion?' and my favorite thing has to be colouring with my Promarkers.
Flowers, leaves and sentiment Petal Party from Penny Black, coloured with Promarkers. Paper and Candi from Craftwork cards.
If there is still anyone out there still looking at my blog I hope you like my card and fingers crossed there may be some more. :)

Mellow Yellow

One of my favourite colours is yellow, I love everything yellow - daffodils, ducklings, lemons, the sun and of course yellow roses - so I really enjoyed making this card. I'm entering it into two challenges - I Love Promarkers #73 - Clean and Simple and Passion for Promarkers #107 - Tie a Yellow Ribbon.

I've used... Kanban Stamp...Promarkers...Joy Crafts Ribbon.. Papermania gems and card

Enjoy your evening.

Skateboard Dude

Happy Sunday everyone, hope you've had time to enjoy the glorious weather (could it be too hot!). We (thats a royal 'we' I actually mean hubby) are still slogging away in the garden trying to get this pond sorted but seem to be cursed with leaky pipes. For the sake of my sanity I escaped to make this card for the following challenges -Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #140 - Embossing, I Love Promarkers #71 - Anything goes, Passion for Promarkers #105 - Park Life and Cupcake Crafts #147 -  Sketch.

I've used a another fab freebie digi from Sliekje coloured with PMs. Red cardstock is WRMK embossed  using a Crafts Too folder and green DP is Pebbles inc. Ticket digi stamp was a freebie but I'm not sure were from and sentiment is Papermania.

Enjoy your evening.
