Here I Go Again

I'm off again tomorrow - this time to stay with my neice Terrie so we can go to Sheena Douglass' workshop in Milton Keynes on Sunday. I won't be back till the middle of next week but I didn't want to miss

Rainbow Lady's challenge this week - especially as I was lucky enough to win the Joanna Sheen voucher on her challenge last week. I had to make a few Easter cards before I went so am entering this one into the current week's challenge - 'Springtime'.

The Sarah Kay image was stamped and sent to me by my friend Martha and I coloured it with Promarkers. The background stamp is from Sheena Doulgass' Busy Doing Nothing set and I used watercolour marker pens to ink it. Sentment - computer generated and ribbon from my stash.

Thanks for calling by. I'm off now to pack ready for an early start to the train station in the morning.

A Little of What You Fancy....

This card is my entry for Rainbow Lady's challenge this week - 'Lilac Wine'. No lilac the flower on here but the colour fits I think. The image is a Rubber Romance image given to me by blog buddy Jane of Jem's Crafting Blog. It's coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment was also a gift from Jane but was to big for the card so I used the phrase and typed it in my new favourite font - Sandscript. The bp is from a Crafty Individuals pad and the borders also a gift from a crafty friend - Martha in the States.
Thanks very much for visiting today. Hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather.

Pies? What Pies?

It seems quite a while since I joined in the Bah Humbug challenge. Oh dear. Slacking already and it's only April. I plead gallivanting around the country. That's my excuse. On to the challenge which this week is to raise a giggle somehow. I saw this image on the MCS Craft e Christmas cd and the question just had to be asked.
The spotty bp is from the same CD and the diagonal bits were put through a Cuttlebug folder. The black snowmen were punched and then given a blast of silver glitter spray.
Thanks very much for visiting. I'm looking forward to a blog hop this evening when I can hog the chair by the fire and tuck into my mother's day choccies at the same time.

For a Special Grandson

This weeks the challenge from the CD Sunday team is to make a card for 'Someone Special'. This card is for my youngest grandson - Joe. Special enough I think to qualify. The base card was printed from the Artylicious Essence of Nature cd. It printed out darker than expected so the leafy pattern is hard to see on the screen. The frog image is a stamp I bought from Stamp Addicts a while ago - coloured with watercolour pencils and then cut out with a Nestie shape. The card candy I bought at the NEC last week. This is my first play with card candy - much simpler than brads I think. The leaves were punched with a Woodware punch and the little fence I'm sure is a Martha Stewart punched one, and was some of a selection sent to me by my friend Martha in the States. The sentiment was computer generated.

Thanks very much for visiting today.

Rainbow Lady Goes to the Movies

Rainbow Lady's challenge this week is 'A Night at the Movies'. Now I know these little fellows aren't scary but when I looked at the finished card 'The Birds' just popped into my head - so into the challenge it goes.

The stamps are from Creative Expressions, coloured with Promarkers and the bp is from Joanna Sheens Fashion Boutique CD. Not a lot else to say about it really.

Thanks very much for visiting today. Hopefully I'll manage my usual catch up on Tuesday evening (unless it pours with rain and then you may see me call by before then.)
