RED WHITE and BLUE

Pop on over and check out the DT cards .. they are fab!!!!!

Here's mine .....

This was actually a card I made for a class I did a while back "Easels Galore" - I had wanted to try this double easel for ages and was really pleased with the results - my ladies enjoyed it too :)

These are both Whiff of Joy stamps Dr Oakley and Little Nurse and I've coloured them with Promarkers, the papers are from Craft Creations, the ribbon is my new love "Retrostitch" and the sentiments are from my own clear stamp design range "Squares with Wording"

All of which are available at my webshop CRAFTS 4 YOU

Hope you likey and thanks for stopping by :)

EASELS GALORE

Afternoon Blogland!!

Just thought I'd pop by and show you a card I made for my class this week on Easel cards :)

I've had such fun making these cards - I've twisted, double twisted and done a circle one too LOL - I'll post the others in due course

This one is a single twisted easel ...

Blue is my favourite colour so really enjoyed colouring this one in .... I coloured with promarkers - this gorgeous "Gorjuss" girl is called LITTLE HEART and the stamped bow is part of the stamp set too and can be found at my shop CRAFTS 4 YOU as can the MINI DIE CUT SENTIMENTS and the BLUE PEARLS

Here's hoping my ladies enjoy making it on Wednesday and Friday!!

Catch up with you all soon :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

Good Morning All and a Very Merry Christmas to you All

No I'm not sad enough to be on here on Christmas morning LOL this is a scheduled post and hopefully I will now be opening my copics from Santa!!!!

Just thought I'd let you know that there is still a week to go over at TOTALLY TILDA so you still have time to enter - the theme this time is EASEL CARDS

Here's another card to give you some inspiration

I couldn't wait to use my Mermaid Tilda and I've coloured her with promarkers, used a couple of sea themed charms and the paper I thought reminded me of tropical waters which I've sprinkled with icicle dust.
The sentiment is one of mine from a set of 6 and can be found at SENTIMENTS 4 YOU
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Day and hope Santa brings you all lots of crafting goodies :o)

SUMMER WEDDING DAYS!!

Evening All!!

Sorry I'm late in posting today - been a busy bee - clearing up my craft room - big job!!!! Anyway .... I've made this card for a wedding i'm going to on Saturday (the wedding is the one my daughter is bridesmaid for).

Unusually for me I haven't stamped or coloured in promarkers but have used a Kanban kit - which i've layered up, added some glitter, ribbon and gems and i'm really pleased with it.

As usual I've found a couple of challenges :

Papertake Weekly - Cutie Patootie

Allsorts Challenge - Summer Days

Hope you like it and thanks for looking :o)

Lots of Love

BEAUTIFUL TULIPS!!

Good morning all!!

What a beautiful day ..... just a quick posting this morning as I have the dreaded housework to do :( .

I made this card, as usual lol, to fit with a few challenges, but it was a brilliant excuse to use this stamp I bought a few weeks ago. I absolute loooooovvvvveeeee Tulips!!!! They are, without a doubt, my favourite flower and when they are in season you can always find them in my home. As the stamp is quite filled in it was a bit of a challenge to colour - but I stamped with memento London Fog to give it a softer feel and them just using greens and pinks highlighted it - I went over bits of it with glossy accents but unfortunately the picture doesn't show it too well. The sentiment is off of a My Sentiments Exactly stamp set and I thought it just about said it all !!

The challenges I am entering are :

Passion for Promarkers - Your favourite things & Promarkers

Creative Card Crew - Easel Card

Sentimental Sundays - Your Favourite Sentiment

Creative Craft - Stamp it Up

Hope you like it and thanks for looking :o)

Lots of Love

FATHER'S DAY :O)

Hello Blogland!!

Well .... I've made a start on the father's day cards I have to make (5 in all!!!) and I thought why not combine them with some challenges lol.  Not surprisingly there are lot of male themed challenges around this week so I wasn't short of ones to choose from.

This is a digi image from Mo Manning and I coloured him with promarkers using colours from one of the challenges. I love easel cards at the moment so that was great. The DP is from the Hampstead range by Papermania. (By the way the card is from my daughter to her dad, she is 20 and still calls him daddy - how sweet!!)

The Challenges I am entering are:

Cards for Men - Fathers Day

Creative Craft Challenges - For the Man in your Life

Color Throwdown - So Saffron, Cool Carribean, Pumpkin Pie

Mo's Digital Challenge - Image and Easel Card

Totally Gorjuss - One for the Boys

Thanks for looking, hope you like it :o)

Lots of Love

ONE FOR THE BOYS

Hello Again

Second posting of the day
Trawling through blogland at some of my favourite challenges and came up with these 3.

I love my Charmed Cards and Craft digi downloads and don't use them nearly enough - but after finding Dotties World challenge I'm making use of them, colouring, of course, with promarkers and using my stampin up goodies from my all day workshop the other week - all in all a good combination I think??

The challenges I am entering are:

Color Throwdown - Cocoa, Saffron, Olive, Tangerine and Sky Blue

Dare U 2 Digi - One for the Boys

Dotties Wonderful World - Digi Image and Easel Card

MY FAVOURITE THINGS

Just cruising blogland challenges and came across this challenge - Crafty Angels - My Favourite Things - and two of my favourite things are magnolia stamps and promarkers so I thought I'd enter this challenge using a card I made for a friend of mine using both those things (the added bonus for me is that Tilda is holding a ladybug which I love !!)

Hope you like it :D

BABY EASEL CARD

Hello Blogland!!

What a gorgeous day - I've been sitting in the garden and gone a little bit pink so decided to come inside and made a card (as you do :)).

A colleague of my hubbies has just had a baby girl so he needed me to make him a card and I decided to combine this by doing a tutorial on my other blog Lynne is In2Crafting (pop over and have a look).

Easel cards are so "in" at the moment and so easy to achieve - I used some new goodies we got in at the shop this week from Kanban

Thanks for looking - hope you like it :)

JUST A CATCH UP

Hi Everyone!! First time on my laptop since Sunday morning as I've had a migraine and been stuck in a darkened room!! Not good when you have lots of challenges you want to enter but cant even look down!  Still never mind .... I thought I'd share with you two cards I made on Saturday for my sister-in-law to give to her friend and her brother for their birthdays I was really pleased with them :) xx
