WOJ money card

It has been a while since I managed to join in the WOJ challenge to make a money card or gift card and as it was my sisters birthday this was the ideal opportunity.

I made the card from an A4 sheet as I wanted the flap to be part of the card and not as an "add on".





Papers are Basic Grey Lemonade, flowers are a mixture of prima, punched and accumulated unknown stash! The fastener thingy (technical term) is Papermania and image coloured in with promarkers.

Creative Craft World DT PRIMA card

Hi all

This is my DT card for Creative Craft World, the challenge this week is all about Prima flowers! All entries must be in by midnight Sunday 18th April 2010.

Before I get onto the card we are giving away some candy to a random follower of Creative Craft World once we reach 100 followers.... so get yourself and your blogging buddies over there as you never know... you gotta be in it to win it!

Lou is selling some of the gorgeous new 2010 Prima flowers, take a look here. I have used the Prima Love Story - Kissing Pink (the large flower on the left) and also Prima Hydrangea (the large one on the right), the roses are from my stash.



Papers are the gorgeous Blueberry Hill by Papermania and the stamp is Whiff of Joy - coloured with promarkers.

I am also entering this into the following challenges:

Fussy and Fancy - Sketch

1 card loads of challenges!

Hi all

Been a hectic week this week but I finally made time for some crafting - well thats if I don't count a scary tiger mask for my nephew, a fairy wand and bookmark for my daughter, a lightening bolt sword for my son (all for the Book Week at school)! Well today I am one year older and not much wiser hahaha!!!

Really enjoyed making this card with some new papers I treated myself to today (I am naughty cos I have LOADS and it was a want not a need).

This is one of my all time favourite stamps from Whiff of Joy, makes me feel all cosy and warm when I ink her up haha!! It is ages since I entered the challenges over on the Whiff of Joy challenge but this week there is a gorgeous colour combo of "coffee and cream" so I just had to have a go!

I have followed the lovely sketch by Karen over at One Stitch at a Time, I really enjoyed working with this sketch and it was perfect for the paper I used as there was no layering and this particular Victorian Classic paper from Paper Cellar looks great on its own, in fact the whole pad is beautiful!



I have coloured the image in promarkers (Satin, Cinnamon, Henna, Pastel Beige and Cocoa), the challenge this week over on Passion for Promarkers is Back to Nature and with all the flowers and the Hero Arts dandelion frame stamp which I have used behind Willow fits the bill!



I quite like the sepia look on the card and as it is all one colour I am entering it into the Crafty Creations Challenge which is all one colour and the Stampin' for the Weekend which is Monocromatic. It reminds me of the vintage photos which fits in with the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge of Back in Time.

The challenge over on Simon Says is Mothers Day/girly and with all these flowers it is defintely that!! The flowers are a selection from Hobby Craft but the fabric flowers I made following Bev's tutorial over on Whiff of Joy Inspirations and Tutorials Blog which is great for me as I don't have a sewing machine (even if I did I wouldn't be able to use it as I took Metal Work instead of sewing at school, made this choice after an absolute disaster making a pencil skirt that was so tight it bound my knees together and I could only walk by moving my legs from the knee down LOL).

Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturdays have put a DT call out, check the details over on their blog and this weeks challenge is sparkle and shine!

The punched leaves meet the challenge at Quixotic Cards which is Leave it Out!!!

Challenge card for The Pink Elephant

Finally got time to craft after a hectic month! I have started a new job, kids and all been ill and then kindly passed their bugs onto me!!! Charming, thats just typical, you get run down looking after them and how do they thank you... by passing on their nasty little germs thats how!!

Anyway, I have made this card for one of the sketches on The Pink Elephant challenge blog. There is a choice of 2 sketches you can enter.



MME Wild Asparagus papers which the lovely Rozzy from Trimcraft sent to me.
WOJ stamped image coloured in using Promarkers
Sentiment Penny Black.

Bizzy Becs Creatalicious sketch

Here is my card for the sketch DT challenge at Bizzy Becs Creatalicious Blog

The photo is a bit rubbish as the lighting in my house at night is not great for photography!!



The papers were from a RAK, WOJ stamp, flowers from stash, the sunflower one at the top left is the middle of a silk flower (which I dismantled) from a local garden centre! Image coloured in using pro markers and the stamp is Basic Grey.

The sketch was lovely to work with and one I will almost certainly use again:



Thanks for looking

The Crafty Pad sketch challenge card

Hi all

Here is my entry for the sketch challenge on The Crafty Pad following the sketch I posted about on 2nd August. I have turned the sketch and instead of adding a separate snetiment have put it on my stamped image (hope this is OK as she was a little bit too tall for the sentiment to go underneath!) The stamp is from WOJ (coloured in using my new promarkers and using Bristol Board which is the only card I have used so far which doesn't bleed at all), papers are DCWV Floral prints, lace I won in a recent sketch challenge from Tracey AKA Lalkygirl as is the flower, brads from stash!

Thanks as alway for looking and for any wonderful comments which I may receive... I truly do appreciate them!

WOJ challenge card

Whiff of Joy card for sketch challenge

I was SUPPOSED to be working on a baby girl paper bag album for my sisters friend, BUT... started getting the urge to use the WOJ stamps, you know how it is, you sit at the crafting table, surrounded by all your lovely stash and something amongst it all catches your eye which you simply MUST use LOL!!!

So... here is what I made using the new Whiff of Joy Summer collection stamps. I (kind of) followed Lee-Anns (from http://www.trimcraft.co.uk/) sketch for the layout. To make a change from using flowers I used the strawberry stamps which came with the stamp set, coloured them in using brush markers then put 3 layers of clear embossing powder on them. I think they look quite effective! Funnily enough I am allergic to "real" strawberries though.

Thanks for looking!
