Random Winner!

I am so excited, I won my first ever challenge, I know it's random but I am so pleased! I hope everyone liked looking at my Christmas theme card, I have managed to make a couple more this week, which I will try and put on here soon.
So....summer is here, although the weather can't decide what it's doing, one minute it hot and stuffy the next I need my jumper! The kids have been off school for 3 whole days.....only 28 more to go! We have done a few things already but I am slightly concerned with the lack of events I have planned this summer, we aren't heading off for a holiday but we have a couple of days in Somerset at the end of the month which seems like a lifetime away at the moment.
Isobel was out today so I did manage to get the creative flow going and made this card. I used my ProMarkers for the colouring, as always and I used my fabulous card from first editions paper pack - Spring Feast. I used Nestabilities for the Gorjus Stamp image to be placed on using 3D foam pads. I added some sparkle for the shoes and cute heart in her hair. I finished off th card with some lovely paper flowers and Whimsy Sentiment Stamp.

I am entering this design in to the following challenges this week:

I love ProMarkers - Anything Goes

Little Darlings - Girly

Christmas Time!

I have been a very busy bee this month, Isobel finished school yesterday for the summer holidays so we have been doing various activities at school, sports day, cake sale etc. I was asked by the PTA to make the Thank you cards for the teachers wo I have been busy making cards which hedgehogs and moles on the front! which has taken some time. I have also been organising Jack's naming day which is next weekend, which seems to finally be in control!! So I have managed to spend a couple of hours making a few cards one of which is below.
I thought it was about time I started on Christmas, I have left it a bit late this year but hopefully I will be able to catch up! I found one of my old Woodware stamps and came across this cute fairy so I though I would start with this one. the paper is from My Mind's Eye - Lime Twist and the fabulous Ribbon Doilies which I have coloured in red using the distressed ink pad.

I added the sentiment from a collection of Sentiment stamps I have. They are all for different occasions and all fabulous!

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

I Love ProMarkers - Christmas in July!

Little Darlings - Button, Brads or Eyelets

I hope you like it!

Lili of the Valley - Donaldas Sketch

John has been in Spain so I have had a couple of night to make some cards with out too much distraction! I decided to enter the Lili of the Valley challenge with the card below. I made this using my fabulous Magnolia stamp. I coloured her using my Pro Markers.

The sentiments are from Craftwork Cards and the flowers and charms just finish the bold look off.

I shall be adding a few more cards tomorrow which I hope you will pop by to take a peek at!

Lili of the Valley Blog Challenge!

This last week has been another busy one.....getting lots of DIY work completed on the house, hopefully so we can start the renting process in August (fingers crossed)! I have been mainly painting doors and my Dad has been doing the rest.....I have tried to fit in a little relaxation time making a couple of cards....

This card is a unisex new baby card, I used my Lili of the Valley - baby blanket stamp which I have coloured using my ProMarkers I used my new Whimsy Stamps - Magical Mini Letter Seals which I am loving at the moment. I used some really cute ribbon at the bottom which I had left over from a project.
