Ismaki Blog Sketch #1
This is another new challenge blog, you can visit it here. I have based this card on their first sketch. I have stamped and coloured the boy and guitar by Sugar Nellie and have added 3 stars cut with the George cartridge. I used a Lisa Bearnson font to print out the greeting.
I have made this card for the son of a friend from a forum I am a member of. Kieran is having open heart surgery in February and everyone on the forum is sending him a card so he can open them after his operation.
Tilda + Co Flowers Challenge
This is my DT card for the Tilda + Co challenge blog. I have stamped and coloured the Tilda and used the Cuttlebug to emboss the blue panel.

3 In 1 Challenge Card - DCM, Scrummy Stash Cafe + Scrap Dribbles
I made this card last night and it fits 3 challenges. I used the sketch from Scrap Dribbles, the theme from DCM which is new and the challenge from Scrummy Stash Cafe which is to use up some scraps.
I have stamped and coloured this really cute Stampendous stamp and used papers from the HOTP Citrus pack including some scraps left over from my hedgehog card which I made yesterday. The stars are cut with the George Cartridge using the Cricut. I added some Glossy Accents to the star on the dungarees and 3 gems.
Had a fab day yesterday did a bit of shopping as I had to take some jeans back to M+S why is it the sizes vary so much!! Anyway hubby treated me to some boots which I have been hankering after for a while, a gorgeous black leather pair of Ugg boots which are lined with sheepskin, they are so warm.
4x4 Textured Paper + Beate Sketch #29
I have made this card for both the 4x4 challenge and the Beate Sketch #29. The stamp is by Penny Black which I have coloured with Prismacolors and Sansador and I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the blue paper, the other papers are from the HOTP Citrus pack. I have added a flower and some gems.
Shopping Day
We have to go shopping today as 3 out of the 4 kiddies need new school shoes - think it'll be expensive!! We've decided to go to Hanley as when we looked in town the other day there was nothing the boys liked/ Can't say I#'m looking forward to it at all. Doubt I'll get any challenge cards made today as we'll probably be out most of the day. Here's a quick card which I made last night for Kerry's friend, another Tilda, stamped and coloured with Prismacolors and Sansador and a few added heart gems.
ArtyGirlz Embossing Challenge
The challenge at ArtyGirlz is to use embossing on your project, this can either be dry or heat embossing. I stamped and coloured the Tilda stamp with Prismacolours and Sansador and put her on a circle of card which I edged with Butterscotch ink. The circles are cut with Nestabilities dies from Spellbinders and have an embossed edge. I cut the stars with the Cricut George Cartridge and embossed them with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and added buttons and some raffia.
CPS Sketch #45
I have based this card on the sketch over at CPS. I stamped this image before Xmas but have only just got round to using it. The stamp is by Sugar Nellie and I have coloured it with Prismacolors and Sansador. I have added Glossy Accents to the star on the boys T Shirt and the knobs on the guitar (don't know anything about guitars!!) and a few adhesive star gems for a bit of bling. Sorry the picture is bad but it is so grey here, must be the start of the bad weather we have been forecast.
Anniversary Card
I hope you all had a good New Years Eve and are having a nice day today. We had a bit of a shock this morning as Harvey the dog who we walk in the evenings with our dog Honey was taken ill this morning and is at the vets, they think he might of had a heart attack and might also have a twisted gut. I do hope he will be ok as he is only young about 6 and is such a lovely dog who is always so pleased to see you.
This is an anniversary card which I have made for a friend of mine. The stamp is from Penny Black and I have added glitter to the roses and 3 heart gems.
DCM Four of the Best Challenge
The challenge at DCM is to use 1 or more of their favourite themes for the year, these were cut, frames, ribbons and buttons.
I have stamped, coloured and cut out the Tilda and the frame is made with the Wizard Nestabilities. I didn't have any matching buttons and ribbons so I cut out my own buttons with the Cricut (George Cartridge) and used raffia instead of ribbon. I embossed the strip of card with the Cuttlebug.
The card is much nicer colours than it looks in the photo but unfortunately it's another horrible gray day here.
Wednesday Stamper 'Open' Theme
As it's Xmas there is an open theme at Wednesday Stamper this week. I have stamped Edwin and Tilda's bench and coloured them with Prismacolors and Sansador. I cut the stars with the Cricut.
I hope you all had a great Christmas.
TMTA Mosaic Challenge
The challenge at TMTA this week is mosaic, hopefully this paper will count as mosaic. I have stamped and coloured the Tilda with Prismacolor and Sansador and added a touch of glitter, 3 brads and a Dymo greeting. I am going to try and post this on the TMTA blog but its wordpress so wish me luck!!!
Final Christmas Card
This is the last Xmas card I am making this year. It is a group card for a forum which I belong to. I have used BG papers and another Tilda stamp and coloured with Prismacolors and Sansador. As you can tell by the photo it is another horrible rainy, grey day here today.
I'm off to cut a slot in a piece of card so I can check my Xmas cards for postage size which I hope will save me a long time in the PO queue later today - I can dream!! Still got a few more to write but at least I can post a some.
Wednesday Stamper Toys Challenge
The challenge at Wednesday Stamper is toys, I think this is the only stamp of a toy which I have. Tilda is stamped and then coloured with Prismacolor and Sansador.
