Sunday Sketch & Stamp Challenge #14

Here's my GDT card for this week's Sunday Sketch & Stamp Challenge.  It was a fab sketch by Ger.  Unfortunately I didn't do it justice!  The lovely ghost image is from Your Next Stamp which we were kindly given to use (we had a set to choose from, I choose this because my printer didn't like them and neither did my pens!).


TFL!

Sketch Saturday #73

Hope you are well. It's the middle of the week and not long now until the weekend.  This is the last card I made on Sunday and I used the sketch over at Sketch Saturday, it was right up my street!  I used my lovely Henry mouse stamp from WoJ and used those very lovely (and colourful!) MME papers.

I really hope you are not bored of my Christmas cards especially as I seem to have repeated the stamps and papers a lot!

Sentiment - Daisy & Dandelion
Paper - MME

Simon Says Stamp and Just Magnolia #27

Here's the second card I made yesterday.  This time I used the sketch from Simon Says Stamp Challenge.  I really liked this one.  I love how the card turned out, a bit different from the usual Christmas colours, nice and Bright!  In fact I have entered into Just Magnolia too as their challenge is bright and zingy - I think this qualifies, even if it is a Christmas card!

Used some more lovely MME papers and my WoJ Henry the Mouse which I have well and truly fallen in love with.



Supplies

Papers - MME
Tools - Cuttlebug, Nestabilities and snowflake punch

Mojo Monday #108

I had a great day today.  My friend, Lyndsey came to craft.  I made four cards and was very pleased with myself as we tend to do more talking than anything else!  Again they were all Christmas cards, so sorry I'm going to bore you with those over the next few days.

This is for Mojo Monday.  I slightly altered the sketch to fit my card but you can see the basis of the sketch.  I used my WoJ santa again and also those lovely MME papers.



Supplies:
Image - Whiff of Joy
Papers - MME
Tools - Cuttlebug Snowflake Die and Snowflake Punches
Other - Snowflake brad, gems and Pearls from stash

Thanks for looking!

4 in 1 Card

I've outdone my self on yesterday, I managed to get 4 challenges for this card!!  I used my other new santa WoJ stamp and more of those MME papers - yummy!  I used fluffy stuff for Santa's suit.  I was so pleased with this card when it was finished.

The first is the sketch from Stamp with Fun.  Second was Creative Card Crew which was scalloped - I used a scallop punch to create a border.  Third was for Whiff of Joy Challenge  which was to use die cuts and I used a Cuttlebug snowflake die.  Last but not least was for My Time to Craft which was quick and cute - Well I think this santa is super cute!

3 in 1 Card

I managed to get 3 challenges out of this card!  I really like this one. I used another new WoJ stamp.  I just love the santa stamps.  I only just got a couple of them but I think I need a couple more!!  I used some new MME papers, yes I finally broke and bought some papers!!

Firstly I used the sketch from A Spoonful of Sugar. Another great sketch.  The second is for Cupcake Craft Challenges which was buttons and stitching.  So I only used one button so I hope this is okay but I did go overboard with the faux stictching!  The last one is for Crafty Angels which was buttons and bling.  Again I hope it was okay that there is only one button but I used a lot of bling in the middle of the snowflakes.

Sketch & Stash Challenge #21

I'm a bit annoyed with myself as I forgot to enter the cards I had posted over the past couple of days!  I had scheduled them and just forgot, that and the fact I had two days without internet.  Ah well.  I'll start over again now!

Here's my card for the Sketch and Stash Challenge.  Nice simple sketch.  Gone for Christmas again.  Well isn't it best to start early and get them all done??  I used my new WoJ stamp, isn't Henry cute??!! I also pulled out some papers which were my faves from last year.  Still love them.  I'm still loving that snowflake punch from Papermania.



Supplies:

Paper - K&Co
Medium - Promarkers
Tools - Papermania Snowflake Punch

Friday Sketchers #73

Here's my card using a lovely sketch for this week's challenge at Friday Sketchers.  Now ordinarily I would have changed it to fit a square card as that is the shape I mainly make, however I thought what the heck and did a DL!  I do like a change.  Again I used those Cosmo Cricket papers and an old Magnolia.  Coloured in using promarkers again.  I thought I would carry on doing Christmas whilst I had the papers out!  Please click on the image to make it bigger, I can't seem to change the size it's either too small or too big, grrr!

Papertake Weekly Sketch #25

Here's my card for the sketch at Papertake Weekly.  Not my best card I have to admit.  I did kinda just throw it together in a hurry.  So I found the image in and amongst my coloured images and thought I would use it however I didn't really have any papers to use so just pulled out the K&Co pad again.  The image is coloured with promarkers again.  I really must get a few more, I don't have nearly enough!!

Sentiment - Stampin Up
Paper - Wild Raspberry by K&Co

Without further a do, here is my card.  The sketch is a fabulous sketch by Clare.  I hope you all enjoy working with it as much as I did.  It's been a while since I made such a vibrant card.  I choose my new Magnolia stamp coloured her with promarkers and pulled out a very old pad of papers which I had never used (tut tut!!).  Please go and visit all the other DT members to see their fantastic cards.

Cute Card Thursday #81

I had made this card just because, for no reason, no challenge.  However I noticed that it fits into Cute Card Thursday which was to make a card with a charm.  Ta-da! I'd actually made one with a charm.  So I have decided to enter this into the challenge.  I dug out an old stamp and coloured it with Promarkers and used some more of the old Cosmo Cricket papers.

Two that got away

Ok whilst having a look through the folders of my cards, I noticed I had never uploaded these two!  So here they are.  The first is using some Basic Grey papers, a gorjuss girl stamp coloured with prismas (I think).  The ribbon I got from the local garden centre!
