Right back to the challenges

A wonderful sketch by Lily of the Valley
Fab n Funky's metal mania as the flowers are metal
Sweet treats by Charismacardz cards
 Saturday Challenge, which is also metal

Upclose and Personal

The cherry and the chocolate chips have got 'glossy accent's' on to make them 3d

Cute n cuddly

I bet you thought I had forgot about this Shell, but how can I forget one of my bessie mate's 1st challenge!!

I know puddy cats aren't everyones cup of tea  lol ......but I couldnt resist this very cuddly ball of fluff as he looks just like my daughter's cat, he helps me cover two challenges, cute and cuddly from Crazy Challenge oh and while you are there take a look at their fabby crotchet flowers that they are giving away!!

The other challenge is the great sketch I followed so I could put 'puddy' on the card over on MAWTT

Challenge cards

Hi all....I havent had a great deal of time this week but have managed to squeeze some time out for a few challenge cards...here they are


The first one is for Sentimental Sundays challenge which is "for that someone specail", and as my family are very special to me this is what I came up with

Upclose & Personal

The bear was coloured with my promarkers of course lol, the ribbon was threaded through the card then pulled together to make the bow

This card was made for a few challenges and I hope it ticks all the boxes lol....the challenges are "Crazy challenge" their great theme is "Bling".....it also covers "I love promarkers" challenge which is "Wings"
I also added some "fancy edges" for the Fab n funky challenge ....last but not least is the brillliant sketch I followed over on moving along with the times

Thankyou for taking the time to look at my cards, it is really appreciated, dont forget to leave me a comment to tell me what you do (or dont) like

Hello blog friends...I havent been doing much crafting this week as I have been busy with other things, I have been spring cleaning my craft room, but now its all tidy I dont want to mess it up by making cards in there lol.... also over the bank holiday weekend we were working in the garden as we are building a raised bed at the rear of the garden to grow vegetables and salad stuff in, cant wait till its finished and we can get onto the growing stage!!




So as I havent done any cards for challenges yet (notice I said YET) lol .....I thought I would put some cards that I had to hold back as they are for my FIL and I didnt want to spoil the suprise for him, see if you can guess how old he is

I did two cards for him as I wanted to do a "special" one and I did put a jokey verse in this one, its a verse that Brian came up with and it goes like this....

70 yrs have passed you by
Think back on  the good times you’ve had
But when you look in the morning mirror
Doesn’t it make you mad
To see those lines across your brow
All deep and crisp and jagged
Happy 70th birthday old man
My god you’re looking haggered ! ! !







So now you know why I needed a sentimental one as well lol
Here is the other card

Its a "framin" card from La Pashe and as he loves to potter in the potting shed it was ideal for him

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look

Another Challenge

Wow this is a record for me updating my blog!!...lol

I am loving these challenges, I am beginning to wonder why I haven't tried them before now, this next one is for "I love promarkers", another attempt of me following a sketch....I have had these stamps for ages and never got round to using them, I bought them because they appealed to my sense of humour!!....thats another reason for me loving the challenges, they get me to use things I forgot I have!!

Upclose & Personal

I have added some "A B C's" with brads for my embellishments, have coloured the babies in with my trusted promarkers...not sure if my colouring in is improving but I am trying lol

Here I have added some fibres from my stash and punched the corners of the card to thread the fibres through




Hope you have enjoyed looking at these little treasures and that they have made you smile as much as they did me when I first set eyes on them.
