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.

First Incy Wincy DT card!!

Today's the day I make my debut DT appearance over on Incy Wincy Designs.

This weeks challenge is something for everyone with an "anything goes" theme so no excuses not to join in the fun!!

The new DT girls (and one boy LOL) have made some amazing cards using the digi stamps from our sponsors Squigglefly, go and check out the other DT creations as we were all given a different digi stamp to work with!

Sponsored by

The lucky challenge winner gets 3 digi images from Squigglefly!!! how cool is that?

The image I got to work with is called "A bird song" and can be bought from here where you can see this and loads of other amazing images!

I coloured her in using promarkers and I must say it was a real pleasure to colour as it is a very clearly defined image, you know how on some images you can't tell if it is meant to be hair or shoulder there was none of that with this one LOL!

Incy Wincy supports the South Australian charity "Aspire to Thrive" which raises money to help children in South Australia with getting help they need. They have a store which sells digi images for your crafting use (all profits go to charity). Why not have a look as you may find just the perfect image.


I used K & Co papers (Roam), the sentiment stamp is Hero Arts (Hello Birdie), the catch thingy (technical term as I can't remember the right word LOL) is papermania, flowers from my stash, leaves made with a punch. I softened the whiteness around the image with chalks.

Cowgirls DT card!

Well the first challenge starts today over on Cowgirls Sunday challenge here is the rest of my DT card which I gave you a little peek of yesterday! I coloured CJ's "Spring" image (she is making a new store which should be open in the next few days) with promarkers, not sure what the backing papers are as they were received in a stash swap! Flower from my stash and Martha Stewart doily punch.



The theme this week is Mothers Day or Spring - take your pick! I chose spring as we have already had Mothers Day here in the UK!

2 Sneak peek and my news!

Hi all

All the details are on my original post here, I am chuffed to bits and will wear my badge with pride ;-)

Whats cooking?

Hi all

Another Magnolia card from me today! Had great fun with this one, I thought that while the kids are at school I would make some time to get crafty, funny really how although I do iron it never has the same appeal as crafting LOL!

I coloured Tilda with distress inks and watercolours, still need to practise with skin tones though well either that or I need more distress ink colours. The papers are DCWV Sweet Stack and Making Memories - Eliza. The Strawberries are from the summer WOJ set last year and coloured with promarkers then triple clear embossed. Flowers and ribbon from my stash.




I am entering into the following challenges:

Charisma Cardz - Girly with flowers
Stampavie and More - Distressing
Stamp Scrap and Doodle - Girlie
Our Creative Corner - Blossoms
Quixotic Paperie - How distressing! (however this is not the case if buying from their store - super fast delivery!!)
Fussy and Fancy - Birthday card with a sweet treat!

Prima challenge and 15% off

Hi all

Well the weather here today is thoroughly miserable, the only time I have been out is for the school run :-( didn't even get any time for crafting as my husband was at home and I had to show willing by spending some time with him LOL!

Lou from Creative Craft World has got an amazing 15% off offer on until 2nd May, don't forget she has some of those amazing Primas and promarkers in stock ;-)

Also she has promised a surprise giveaway over on the Creative Craft World challenge blog when we reach 100 followers!!! We are nearly there already.

The current challenge of using primas is running until 2nd May as Lou is poorly with food poisoning at the moment she extended the deadline (get well soon Lou).

Off to make a card while my husband is visiting his Mother!

C.R.A.F.T and Crafty Sentiments challenge card

Whoohoo this is my 100th post!!! Can't believe I have waffled so many times hehe!

Again I used one of the Tilda images from the lovely Choccy (thanks) and coloured her in using watercolour pencils and paints. The gorgeous pink and brown colour combo is for the current challenge over at C.R.A.F.T Challenge.



I followed the FAB sketch over at Crafty Sentiments which my lovely blogging buddy Lisa Jane is a DT for (waves madly and says hi to Lisa). I rotated the sketch clockwise.



The papers are a combination of DCWV The Sweet Stack and some freebie ones from last year. Used Martha Stewart punch, prima flowers and core'dinations card. Ribbon from a swap, pearls from stash. Tim Holtz distress inks (frayed burlap) and glamour dust.

I followed the sketch over at Trimcraft which the lovely Rozzy put together for us to follow!



Not sure which Tilda this is but I loved colouring her in using Promarkers. Papers are DCWV Nana's Nursery and the flowers are prima and the small rose and lace from my stash.
