Well keeping with my promise to myself to enter more challenges, here is the next one! Again this was a great sketch to work with and was perfect for a 16th birthday card I had to make for my cousin, who does love his XBox 360!! The fab image is "Video Boy" from Digital Pencil coloured with ProMarkers. Thanks for looking!
This is the first time I have entered the Mojo Monday Challenge! I have decided that I will try to enter more challenges in 2010 so here goes! The sketch was a great one to work with I had the perfect image in mind for this one - Digistamp Boutique's "Coco and Roses" coloured with ProMarkers and given a little Glamour Dusting. Thanks for looking!
Here is my entry for the latest Pollycraft Monday Challenge. My sister asked me to make a Granny and Grandpa card for my parents so I saw the perfect opportunity to combine it with this challenge! I will admit this did take a moment or two due to the shape of the card (which I love - thanks Bev Rochester!!) which required some precise measuring. Although the photo does not show it too well, the die cut snowflakes have been glamour dusted and diamond dusted to within an inch of their lives!!
This is a little card I made to celebrate a colleague getting a promotion - the image is so cute and kind of appropriate! Just back from a lovey weekend of shopping Glasgow with my mum and sister - stayed in a hotel, ate lots of food and have very few pennies left, lol!!! 
I have a few birthdays coming up (well not me personally lol!) and this one is for my cousin who is a fireman. I love the Dustin Pike images and this fits the bill perfectly. Kept it simple - I always find it difficult to find the right embellies for a male card. Anyway, hope you like!
Love this little guy! Did some paper piecing for his parcels and some glamour dust for snow. Again this from a sketch which caught my eye but can't remember where from, lol! Been making good progress with the christmas shopping although there are a few sticking points, eg DH!! Maybe inspiration will strike soon.
This sign was very straightfoward - used a Pollycraft Friday Freebie from a few weeks ago and layered him up for some depth. My Quickutz provided the lettering (before anyone complains about my spelling, I meant it!!!). The circle is just some chipboard covered in white card onto which I had printed the phrases. The spinner hand was in my stash - I'd been wondering how to use it!!! A litte bit of red ribbon as the hanger finished it off. All we have to do now is hang it up and hope Santa's in a good mood!!!!
I do love the Forever Friends bears. I also love card sketches, especially when you need a bit of inspiration. So these 2 cards are based on card sketches - using the same images and nearly all the same papers but they look so different. Paper pieced his coat and then used the same paper on the card, thought it tied it in nicely. As usual, used the old Promarkers and some glamour dust for snow. 
Here is my entry for the latest Pollycraft Monday Challenge based on a sketch by Paula. I was lucky enough to win the "Sweet Dreams Christmas Kit" in the last challenge so naturally I used it for this entry! It was a fab sketch to work from and I will be using it again. I used Promarkers to colour the image and Glamour Dust on her hood.
This gorgeous image is "Bronte and Bella Ice Skating" from Digital Pencil. I decided to go for blues and pinks for this one and used some paper from Pink Petticoat's "Fairy Lights" collection. Ice skating is one thing I can't do - always afraid I would hurt myself!!
The weather here in Scotland has not been very good for the last few days so getting a decently lit photo is not very easy! Usually I have made all my christmas cards by now but not so organised this year! I used the same image for these 2 cards and went with traditional colours. 
Don't know about you but I'm a big fan of Pink Petticoat and have a lot of the CDs and Downloads. These 2 cards are made from their latest Christmas release "Fairy Lights". Apart from the fab colourways and paper designs this one also has paper pieced christmas trees - all you have to do is a bit of cutting out and sticking and its done!
