Papertake Weekly Challenge

This is my entry for Papertake Weekly Challenge, the theme being SHOES..........I bought the stamp at the SECC back in 2008 and this is its first outing! You can't see very well in the pic but I have used a glittery sakura pen to highlight the fluffy shoes and the flower shoes.........and on the patterned paper, when a bit mad with it!

• Image- Dimesion Fourth Clear stamp
• Paper- dovecraft and from stash
• Flowers and brad- from stash
• Sentiment- Sticker I have had for ages!

Another cracking day here in the Fort, my eldest had her school trip today to the Science Centre in Glasgow and she said it was raining there!

Last minute card

Aaarrgghh just realised it is my best mates hubbies birthday tomorrow, well I didn't forget I knew it was on the 11th just didn't realise it was the 11th tomorrow!....... anyway I had this image from Digistamp boutique coloured in when I was playing with my promarkers. The paper is old from my stash and I printed off the sentiment from the computer......he is only gonna be 36 I hope it isn't too old looking for him :(
Another lovely day here in the Fort, I have been cycling to work everyday for the last couple of weeks..... feeling very fit lol! I work in the local High School as a dinner lady..... tho we are not called dinner ladies anymore it is "Catering assistant" oooooo!lol Great holidays.... 3 weeks tomorrow I finish for 7 weeks!!woohooo!!! Lots of cardmaking to be done inbetween playing with the girls I think!

Last night I was very naughty and ordered all the promarkers I need for the next few challenges on PFP, I was gonna be soo good this month. And I just had to order the luckybag from Funkykits...........couldn't resist! But that is me for the rest of the month!

Card Swap on CraftBubble

This is the card I made for a card swap over on CraftBubble, using the lovely paper and flowers I got from my shopping trip last month. Again using promarkers (surprise surprise!), I am not bad with the paler colours but finding it hard to get the blending right with the darker colours, just looks blotchy....will have to practice more before I post any piccies.
I used a sakura pen for the dots and band on her dress and I have added a little diamonte in her hair.

Thanks for looking

My first Challenge Entry!

This is my first go at a challenge (apart from a couple that I emailed before I had a blog).

I thought seeing as I am loving the promarkers I would have a go at the challenge over on Passion For Promarkers

The colours this week were Pumpkin and Cinnamon, really nice combo! I only realised when I had finished the card that I have cut the Gorjuss Girl a bit squint :(


I can't remember the make of the papers, I got them at the SECC, the flowers are from a stash I got on ebay and I have used chalks to try and age the white card.
From now on I am going to try and take note of what I have used to make the cards.....well I will do my best!

A lot of people I see are doing the inside of their cards...so I thought I would have a bash at that using the leftovers!

All in all I am very pleased with it.

Thanks for looking!

Lazy Sunday

Well was totally lazy today, no housework...... no cardmaking!.....nothing, well thats a fib I did do a tiny bit of weeding in the garden and actually I did wash the windows in the conservatory, a womans work is never done! LOL! It was another fab sunny day with just a couple of tiny showers so I couldn't justify sitting in my little cubby hole. So the piccy I am posting is a card I made ages ago. The Dress Up Maggie stamp from FunkyKits I saw at the show at the SECC and didn't buy cos I forgot to go back for and then it took me ages to get it online!

It makes me think of my youngest as she is always dressing up and playing with make-up!

Thanks for looking!

It's Friday!!!!!!

Well I hope that this is just a shower but we had hailstones this afternoon, huge ones! Please come back sunshine!!

This card I was asked to make for an Elvis fan, the papers I have had for ages, thought they would be good for mens cards and the little guitar button I bought at the SECC show and I coloured it in with black pen. Still trying to get the nack of distressing....think I might have to invest in one of these distressing tools everyone seems to have!Tonight I am finishing off my card for the swap on Craftbubble, I will wait until they have received it before I post a piccie!

I have resisted all week but have finally given in and ordered another 6 promarkers....

Woohoo the sun has just come back out.. off to sit outside til the next cloud comes!!LOL

Loving this Weather!!

Evening All!
This weather is Fab! The girls are loving playing in the paddling pool after school, long may it last!
This is an engagement card I was asked to make the other day, I have had this stamp for a while now and this was its first outing! I have spent most of the last few days playing with my promarkers, I am up to 25 now!, trying to get the blending right. There are some great tutorials on youtube, which I have found very helpful, Just need to get some more colours I think! They truly are addictive!

Enjoy the rest of the day!
