Anything Goes - Charisma Cardz! :)

Back again today with another card to share :)

Now this is an exciting week on Charisma Cardz as not only is it 'ANYTHING GOES!', but we have some very awesome sponsors too! :) 

Firstly we are sponsored for the first time by Saturated Canary - WOW!! :) and the DT were given some stunning images to play with.  I used 'Gothica' -  isnt she gorgeous?  Secondly we are also sponsored by the very generous Crafty Emmas Store, (I love that shop!) and our third sponsor is Digi Stamp Boutique. 

I distressed and hand-stitched Prima papers, and the dangly is from a section of a deconstructed necklace I bought for 75p from a charity shop (t'was a bargain!) :)  I had to cut the image out, following an accident with some ink - tut! lol :)

I am entering this card in the below competitions:

Tags - I ♥ Promarkers

Something bright and fun from me today :) as I am fed up of all this dreich weather!

Todays challenge over at I ♥ Promarkers is 'Tags'.  Now I often neglect to add a sentiment or greeting to my card, but I do like tags.  We are sponsored this week by Digi Doodle Shop who are giving the winner a $10 voucher to spend online.  I have used 2 images on this card, raising the speedy snail on top and adding googly eyes.

This card is also another 8 x 8 biggie, and the card base, backing card, candi and flowers were all from Craftwork Cards.  I was quite taken by this jolly 'christmas flowers' pack and it felt like a really easy card.  The borders and layered tag were cut from my digi-die cutter and the googly eyes and pearls were from stash.

I am entering this card in the below competitions:

Totally PaperCrafts - Layer upon layer

Crafters Companion - Pink and Green

I am just fiddling about with a few blog settings atm, so its currently a WIP.  Not sure if I like it or not yet, but if you have difficulty seeing anything please let me know :)

Thanks so much for looking, and good luck to everyone entering the challenge.

Eat, Drink and be Scary! :)

Morning campers! :) T'is the weekend - Yay!

Now, I love this time of the year. :) Being a Scorpio I likes the dark stuff, and Halloween has always been one of my favourite excuses for getting upto mischief ;) 

BOOOO!!................ (lol)

So anyway, our theme over at Sweet Stampin this week is Halloween and we are sponsored by the fabulous Bugaboo Stamps.  The DT were all given some smashing digi's to play with, and I loved colouring this kooky image in.  There are quite a few Halloween themed challenges in blogland this week, so I hope you find time to play along and check out the other DT's gorgeous creations.

My digi-die cutter did most of the work on this with the webs and spideys, and the orange glitterboard and textured paper was from very old stash.  The sentiment I nabbed from the Teddy Bo website on its 'wordy wednesdays' post - they have some great quotes on there. :)

Cute - I ♥ Promarkers

Morning :) Hope everyone is having a good week.

So, todays theme for our new challenge on I ♥ Promarkers is 'Cute'! :) and this is another one of my favourites.  We are sponsored this week by Crafts 4 You who gave the DT some really fab sentiments to play with.  I love using digi-sentiments, as you can resize them as you see fit and either make them the focus of your card, or squeeze them in the smallest of tight spots. :)

I used a really cute Teddy Bo image - I love the elephant in this range, and coloured the image with flex markers for a really soft, cuddly feel.  I used Prima papers and an MS doily punch, and this was a really quick card for me.

I am entering this card in the below challenges:

TeddyBo Challenge - Clean and Simple

Stamptacular Sunday - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp & Show - Stripes

Thanks so much for looking, and good luck to everyone in these challenges.

I used a fab image called Alice Mae as she looks just like my neice who is almost 21 :) 

This card is 8 x 8 inches (its huge!) and I hand-stitched and distressed K&Co papers, layered, punched and die cut bazzil kraft coloured card, and followed the great sketch over at Sketch Saturday.  The flowers are WOC, dies are spellbinder and the PATP is Martha Stewart.

I used a gorgeous Sweet Pea image on this card and hand stitched and distressed Prima papers.  I used Spellbinder dies and McGill punch for the frondy leaves and the flowers are WOC.  The larger leaves are from quite old stash, as is the old necklace bead, and I also used an MS punch for the loop border.
