It's a boy!

A friend of mine is expecting again. As she's already got 2 boys, I jumped the gun and made a baby boy card, only to find out on Friday that she's expecting a girl! That'll teach me!

Anyway, I'm going to enter this card for 2 challenges:

Pennys paper-crafty challenge - anything baby

Cute card Thursday - sketch

This is a digi image by Meljen's designs and is called cuddle cloud baby. It's so cute and I've coloured him using promarkers.

Hope you like it.

Twit twoo

I just love this stamp. This owl is just so cute. It's by Penny Black and is called Nocturne. He is coloured with promarkers.
I'm going to enter this card into the Cute card Thursday challenge where the theme is Tweet and a flutter.

I can't help it, he just makes me smile every time I look at him.

Hope you like it too.

I'd just like to say a big thank you for all your lovely comments. I read them all and I'm so glad you take the time to write to me.

Just a quickie

As the post title says, this is just a quickie from me today. What with work, being ill and one thing and another, I haven't been up to much crafting, so this is a card I made in the summer hols but haven't yet blogged.

I'm going to enter this into Gingersnap creations challenge which is red and black. This is a very simple card and I've used a PEnny Black stamp called fantasy which I embossed in solver.

Hope you like it

Making the most of the weekend

So it's the weekend - hooray!
This card I've made is going to be entered for 3 challenges. They are:
Passion for promarkers - sweet treats
Papertake weekly - sketch
Totally papercrafts challenge - dots

I've used a Penny Black stamp called Sweet Thing which I've coloured with promarkers.

I couldn't get a decent close up of the image for some reason today - not too sure what's happened there. Promise to do better next time!

I really do appreciate all the comments that are made. Some of you have mentioned that I've done a couple of Christmas cards already. I've only done 2. I really can't get in that mode yet although I did buy some Christmas papers today.

Hope you like the card

At last!

Oh my goodness. I have withdrawal symptoms from cardmaking. We've been back at school for just over a week and I either haven't got the time or the energy to do any crafting!
This little card I've just made is for the Pollycraft challenge (I should get it in just in time - fingers crossed), where the theme was Christmas without red or green. I've used the penguin (did you know that I absolutely LOVE penguins?) from the Little Claire set - All set for Christmas and coloured him with promarkers. The stamp was also from the same set.

Hope you like it.

Pennys paper-crafty challenge - birthday
Moving along with the times - stitching The image I have used is a digi from Pollycraft called Cuthbert for you. I've coloured him with promarkers.

Hope you like it

Music card

Oh my goodness. I've been back at work for 3 days, the children have been in for 2 days of that and I'm absolutely shattered. I think a lot of it is nervous energy but I have bags under my eyes that a sack os spuds could easily fit in.
The challenge over on The Stamp Man was music. I'm in card making mode at the moment so that's what I made.

Hope you like it

diamond topped card

Well for some of us, today was the first day back at school. Admittedly there were no children (they are in tomorrow) but I still had to set the alarm. True to form, I didn't sleep at all well either so I'm tired already!!
Anyway, the Lots to Do challenge blog theme was fairies or angels.
I've used this very cute Little Claire stamp and coloured her with promarkers.
Here's a close up of the image.

Now that my leisure days are over I'm going to try and post as often as possible but I'm pretty certain it wont be every day, as it has been for a while.

Hope you like the card.
