MILITARY, PATRIOTIC or FIREWORKS

We have 3 fantastic sponsors this time!

Di's Digi Dowloads

Sweet n Sassy Stamps

My card...

I chose to use this image from Lili Of The Valley as I went for patriotic for my card. I was kind of hoping that England would still be in the Euro Championships when I posted this card, but not to be....as usual! ;) I coloured my image with Promarkers and Polychromos. The background was created using a football stamp free from Craft Stamper magazine a couple of months ago.

Now this is a 'different' card, but I can't show you why for a few weeks....keep popping back! ;)

Fairy Birthday Postcard

Hello everyone!

What a gorgeous Monday...sun is shining, even if it is a little chilly!

Ok, first of all, sorry for not being around much. I have a lot on my plate at the moment, but also, I'm just not liking this new Blogger Interface. I can't navigate it as easily as the old one and I seem to miss an awful lot of stuff! And it's just not as much fun when you can't find things as easily. I will get there I guess...eventually!

Well today is the start of a new challenge over at Ooh La La and this week our theme is

BOLD & BRIGHT

Here is my card...

I have used images and papers from the newest cd-rom, Fairies & Blooms, and the Card Candi and ribbon are from my stash, and that's it!

Crafty Cardmakers - Fantasy

Flutterby Wednesday - Birthday Card with Butterfly, Fairy or Angel

Vintage at Ooh La La

Good morning! And happy Monday!

Although it was chilly here, it was a lovely bright weekend here, for the most part :)

So today brings a new challenge at Ooh La La and this fortnight it's

VINTAGE

Front

 Inside

This wonderful image is Powder Blue from Passion For Fashion. The only added extras are the lace, the knot 'clasp' and the pearls. I left it very clean on the front as I wanted the inner to be the main event.

I can't wait to see what you come up with as I need vintage inspiration lol!

Have a lovely Monday!

Mum & Dad's Anniversary!

Good morning!

I'm here with a card I made for my Mum and Dad's wedding anniversary. It's their 43rd anniversary! Wow!!

This card was made using Seaside Scene from Ooh La La - Passion For Fashion cd-rom. Fab isn't it?! I chose this image because my Mum and Dad had their honeymoon in Scarborough, and I remember them taking us to beaches full of sand dunes as kids. So I thought this was just right for them! :) The ribbon, doily and pearl are from my stash, and the flowers are Prima.

Challenges
Card Patterns - Sketch #158
The CD Sunday Challenge - Spring Has Sprung (with the weather this week, we should all have been at the beach lol!)

Ooh La La - Challenge #100! On The Move

Good evening everyone!

Well for the first time ever, I was late submitting a DT card :( Slap my hand...it will never happen again! No excuses, but I had such a hectic weekend, and was going to do it last night but I was so shattered I couldn't find a creative dribble anywhere in me!

So without further ado, here is the said card, for our challenge over at Ooh La La this week, where our theme is

ON THE MOVE

The image and papers are from the Boys To Men CD, the poinsettia is a Marianne die (I think) and I distressed the edges of the papers and the image with Vintage Photo and Stormy Sky distress inks.

The background papers used on this card are from Ooh La La Shoes In Bloom CD-ROM...I thought they were perfect for this image!

BINGO!

And here is my card......

I found the template for this card here, plus a stunning card made with the template!
