ArtyGirlz Red Challenge + Claudia's Blog Candy
I have made this card for the ArtyGirlz red challenge and also for Claudia's friendship blog candy. I stamped the Tilda and her cat (which arrived this morning) and coloured them with Prismacolors and Sansador. I paperpieced Tilda cardy and added black glaze pen to her buttons and the cat's nose. I used my Dymo for the greeting and added 3 little heart gems.
Nearly time to go and collect the boys from school and it's decided to rain again - roll on the summer!

DCM Mid Week Tribute
The challenge at DCM this week is to make a card as a tribute to either Lynne or Gillian who have recently left the DT. I chose to make a card which I think is in the style of Lynne's work. Whilst looking through Lynne's blog I noticed that she used the Cuttlebug for embossing on a lot of her cards and also that a lot of her cards are very unfussy, so this is the card I have made. I stamped and coloured this cute hedgehog from Penny Black and layered the image onto 2 shades of pearl cardstock, the darker blue one has been embossed with the Cuttlebug. I have added Glossy Accents to the bow to make it nice and shiny and I also added 3 little heart gems for a little sparkle.
Hope Lynne thinks it's ok.

Ismaki Sketch #2
I have based this card on the sketch over at Ismaki. I have stamped and coloured the Tilda and put her on circles cut with Nestabilities dies. The sentiment is printed off the PC and is a Lisa Bearnson font. I have cut the flowers with the Cricut and than ran them through the Cuttlebug to get the embossed effect.
I'd best go and have some dinner as I got so into making this card I lost track of the time! Then I'm going to take the dog for a walk and guess what after a fairly nice dry morning the heavens have opened - looks like I'll be getting wet!

TMTA Photostamp Challenge
The challenge at TMTA this week is to use a photostamp on your ATC. I have stamped this stamp with Vintage Sepia Versafine ink and even though I have put the stamp onto EZ Mount I still put a paper pricking mat under the card before I stamp as I find this gives a better impression. If you don't have a paper pricking mat the underside of a mouse mat works just as well. I printed the word Love off the PC using a Lisa Bearnson font and I added 3 Prima flowers.

Birthday Tilda + Samm's Birthday Candy
Another Tilda card which I made earlier this week, it was for a challenge but it didn't quite work out for that so I used it for this card. The Tilda is stamped and coloured and I have matted her onto ovals cut with Nestabilities dies. I have added a few touches of glitter and used a black glaze pen on the poppers on her shoes.
Marlou has just reminded me of Samm's Birthday candy so if it's ok with Samm I will enter this card. happy Birthday to Samm and don't forget to pop over to her blog and see the fab cards she makes.
Yesterday morning when we took the dog out we noticed this icicle on the bin but we can't figure out how it was formed as there is nothing above it. Has anybody got any ideas?

DCM Me + My Shadow and Scrummy Stash Brads Challenges
I made these 2 cards for the DCM Me and My Shadow challenge and then realised they would also be fine for the Scrummy Stash Cafe brad challenge as well.
The challenge at DCM is to use the same materials to make 2 different cards. I have stamped and coloured this really cute rabbit by Penny Black and used papers from HOTP and Bazzill. I cut the flowers with the Cricut and added white brads.
My new magnolia stamps arrived from Sweden this morning, can't wait to have a play with them!

4x4 Friday Music Challenge
The challenge at 4x4 Friday this week is to use music on your work. I have used the Sugar Nellie guitar boy which I have stamped and coloured. I cut 3 stars with the Cricut and added 4 antique brads.
This challenge came at just right time as it's Grant's friends birthday this week and this card will be ideal.

Thank You card for Michelle's Blog Candy
I have made this card for Michelle's blog candy challenge. Michelle makes wonderful cards and you can visit her blog here.
I am having one of those days and it has taken me about 3 times as long to make a card and lots of things have gone in the bin! This is what I have eventually made. I'd like to thank Annie for the image of Tilda which I have coloured with Prismacolors and Sansador. I then cut out the ovals using Nestabilities and I have embossed the white one with the Cuttlebug, I also added glitter to the flowers and Tilda's wings.
I had to cut the Tilda out as I wasn't paying attention and coloured outside the lines!!

Bunny Card
I made this card this morning for no reason other than I wanted to use my new Penny Black Transparent stamps. The stamps are lovely but are a bit smaller than I thought. I stamped and coloured the bunny and then cut the circle and scalloped circle with the Spellbinders Nestabilities dies. I have added a drop of Glossy Accents to his nose to make it nice and shiny. The greetings stamp is by Hero Arts and the papers are from K + Co.

Chilled Out Hedgehog
I love this stamp from Penny Black as the hedgehog looks so chilled, roll on summer when we can join him sunbathing in the garden.
It's been quite nice here this morning but really cold, I even went outside and brushed up. I think I'm going to take the dog for a walk before the rain arrives.
Have a good day.

DCM LE New To Me Challenge
The little extra challenge at DCM is to use something which you had for Xmas on your card. I was lucky enough to get this really cute Penny Black stamp which I have coloured with Prismacolors. I also got some money and used some of it to buy a DCWV paper pack, the pink and green glittery patterned card is from this. The pink and white flowers are Primas. I couldn't find a green flower so I cut this one with the Cricut and I added a touch of glitter to the roses but it doesn't show up in the photo.
