Sealed with a Kiss!

I joined in the fab challenge at Double Dutch to make this "fun file folder" creation for my hubby to mark our 6th wedding anniversary!

Stamps: Magnolia images

Colour Medium: Prismacolor pencils

Paper: MME Ooh La La paper collection

Embellishments: Making Memories ribbon, Prima flowers, We R Memory Keepers bradlet, unknown pearls

And here we are...the happy couple....6 years ago today....gosh it's flown in!! We had a fabulous day...couldn't have asked for more....here's to the next 6 my love! bx

What were you doing 6 years ago.....?

.. ...I was busy getting ready......

.....I'd decorated my shoes..... bx

Howdee Pardnur....!

Ok...I know there aren't any horses in this scene...but I just couldn't help thinking of "howdy pardnur" when colouring this WOJ image...think maybe the chewing of straw and tip of his hat did it...!

I've used 2 of the images from the WOJ autumn kit as well as the WOJ tree stump to create this scene. I used the fabulous sketch from WOJ Challenges - thanks girls I LOVED it! Although I did have to slightly alter one of the layers to accomodate my large image...but I hope a lil flexibility is allowed...?!

I'd also like to enter this card for Stamp with Fun's autumn theme!

Stamps: All images by Whiff of Joy

Colouring Medium: Prismacolor pencils blended with Sansador

PP: A mixture of MME collections, Making Memories and SEI

Embellies: Prima flower, brad from the lovely Sharon, the leaves I think are from Leonie (sorry!!), pearls unknown!

AFA - Funky Flowers

May I present to you my 2nd Guest Designer card for Anyone For Anya...?

The theme is Funky Flowers - we want to see something flowery on your cards. You can use bought or made flowers or you could use flowery papers - we don't mind as long as it's fab and funky.

Using my nesties, I cut a circle in the front so that the face of Anya was showing, then adhered flowers around the circle. I split my sentiment showing "if friends were flowers" on the front...then when you open up...

...ta daaaa....you see the whole Anya, with a basket of flowers, a flower in her hair and the second part of the sentiment "I'd pick you!" stamped on a Magnolia tag!

Here's how the whole inside looks!

Papers: My Mind's Eye - Irresistible, and a few "scraps"

Stamps: A Muse sentiment, Magnolia tag

Emellishments: Prima flowers, unknown gems, Bersford Ribbon

So that's my 2 weeks GDT'ing for Anyone For Anya. Thank you for the fab opportunity, it was soooo much fun. And thank you to everyone who left such lovely comments on my GDT card last week, and for any you might leave on this card!! bx

Get Better Soon...

Oh no...late again!! I made this card using the sketch at "Stampin' for the Weekend"....this is a fab sketch to use up some of your scraps...although I didn't on this occasion!! I just got stuck in to more of the gorgeous Oooh la la papers from MME!

Oh......normally I try and stick as close as possible to a sketch but I needed to change a few things to make it work for my card!

I coloured this cute nurse (Stampin Bella) using Prismacolor pencils, used lots of Oooh la la papers, a Fancy Pants stick pin, heart brad unknown, wide ribbon from Walmart or Michael's (I think!) a sentiment by "Will n Way" and a lil scrap of ribbon! bx

Rock on...!

Ooooooh la la....c'est tres chic.....! Hope you all had your bestest french accents on there!! lol Ooooh la la is of course the name of these gorgeous yummy delish papers by My Mind's Eye!! Love 'em, love 'em!!

I've used this dancing queen (my name for her, not sure of the official name!) Ketto image...she is teeny tiny but a joy to colour...I love hip chicks like this 'cos you can have some fun with your colours!!

I've simply added some Making Memories epoxy buttons (with a bit of embroidery thread through), a few teeny gems (not sure of maker) and a Melissa Frances rub on sentiment and of course the stickles...always the stickles!! lol

I've used the fab sketch by Truly Scrumptious...but I am old hat with it...now there's a surprise!! bx

Wedded Bliss!

I needed to make another wedding card....what better image than this sweet Magnolia couple..? I've coloured again with the Prismacolor pencils....I recently invested in a larger set and love the extra colour choices!!

I've kept this card nice and simple (I did personalise it after the photo though) as I tried to do something a little different with the opening.

I have used my favourite embellishment though which is Prima flowers (just looooorve them) so this card qualifies for the challenge at Stamp Something.

I've used embossed Doodlebug paper which means the card also fits the challenge at Just Magnolia. bx

Shopping Queen...

I was asked to be a guest designer at Anyone For Anya this week....woohoo....this is my card!! The theme is "Pink & White + one other colour" (excluding skin and hair). There are so many gorgeous pink plus colour combo's but I opted to include orange!! I love this colour combo, although I must confess I did have to hunt through my papers quite a bit...I had loads of pink and cream but no pink and white!!

So, Miss Anya is coloured with Prismacolor pencils, the papers are a mixture from different companies, I used a Melissa Frances rub on for the sentiment, Prima blooms, a glitter brad from Doodlebug, ribbon from Making Memories, little studs and string of fine "pearls" from stash.

There is a fab prize on offer again this week so do join in and let's see what colour combo you go with! bx

Holiday Magic...

Please meet Doraline...another fabby Motivet image.....she was a dream to colour and she will be used many times this year methinks!!!!

Sketch Saturday are currently recruiting new DT members....the first "round" of recruitment is to make a card using the sketch they've given....and this is my entry!!!

I've coloured Doraline with Prismacolor pencils, used patterned papers by Fancy Pants and Basic Grey, flocked vellum and bobble trim by Making Memories, ribbon from American Crafts, a rub on sentiment by Melissa Frances and to add interest I added glossy accents to give her shoes that "patent" look, some mandatory stickles and at this time of the year some fluffy stuff around Doraline's outfit....oh almost forgot, I threaded a few recycled seed beads onto some embroidery thread!

Ok...I'm off to enter my card....here's hopin'!! bx

Walkin' in a winter wonderland...

Yep...definitely need to get cracking with this year's christmas cards....I made this one a few days ago and forgot to photograph it...almost didn't get it posted!!

It's for the challenge at Anyone for Anya? which is this sketch....I'm not sure it's balanced quite right but apparently my aul brain isn't working on full steam to help me out with it!!!!!!!!!

I've coloured this cutie with the Prismacolors as per, used some more BG Wassail papers, used a yummy big Prima flower (with a lil stickles added for good measure!) and a couple of MF rub on's!

And please excuse me....I know no-one likes a "blow"...but I was sooo excited to receive this that I wanted to shout it from the roof tops.....it's the first "award" of it's kind that I've received so I was absolutely delighted...and yeah, I did check, there was more than 5 entries for the challenge!! lol bx

Look what I can do....

This is the second Motivet card I mentioned....meet Hilda...i LOVE her....her lil expression is just precious!!

I enjoyed using this sketch from Stamp with Fun - thank you girls!!

Hilda is coloured using Prismacolors, I used K&Co papers (shock!!), Melissa Frances rub on sentiment, a couple of Rayher pearls, Prima flowers, and a scrap of Making Memories velvet trim (I love this trim!!)

Look what landed on my mat this morning...a yummy candy prize i won from Andrea in celebration of PTW's 100th challenge!! Thank you so much Andrea, I shall enjoy these new toys immensely!! bx

I thoroughly enjoyed using my Prismacolor pencils to colour these guys in, I used Basic Grey Wassail paper, a Jolee's snowflake and a Imaginsce snowflake, a Melissa Frances rub on sentiment and simply added a lil stickles...didn't want to be over fussy as it's for a guy! bx

Wish

Get me.....it's my card made using The Sugar Bowl's current sketch (option: use buttons)....aaaannnnnddddd....it's not even the last minute!! lol

So, this Sugar Nellie image has just had it's first inking (after growing dust for a while!!) and has been coloured using Prismacolor pencils.....have to say I enjoyed colouring her!

I used some MME "scraps" that were lurking on my desk, a piece of recycled pink satin ribbon, Making Memories scalloped velvet ribbon, a Prima flower, a Hero Arts bling swirl and a couple of Making Memories epoxy buttons complete the look!

And while I was at it, I made another lil gift box...this time a pillow box....so easy, so simple! Hmmmm, must get it a lil tag.... bx
