Meet Gorgeous - Pollycraft Freebie!

Wow, the end of the week already, how did that happen?? I would like you to meet someone special:

This is GORGEOUS isn't he just?? I made this card for my Hubby for our Anniversary this week. I used an acetate blank and added Sassafras "Monstrosity" papers. Gorgeous (es) are coloured with promarkers. What would you call a group of Gorgeous I wonder?? The sentiment is from my talented Pollycraft teamie Marit.

Gorgeous is available from Pollycraft.

Pollycraft Monday Challenge #100 - Celebrations

Good Morning all! Today is meant to be another gorgeous day, so my fingers are crossed! I'm so excited about this week's challenge - why? Because:

It's the 100th Challenge over at Pollycraft, woohoo!

This means something a bit different prize wise for this one - the lucky winner will receive:

and Paula is also going to include a disc of 100 digis!!! (so wish I could enter ....). Now, all you have to do to be in with a chance is to create a project with the theme of:

CELEBRATIONS (optional Stars and Stripes)

Now, if your creation also includes Stars and/or Stripes you will be entered twice into the draw - how fabulous is that?

But that's not all, oh no. If you are kind enough to leave a comment on my blog you stand a chance of winning one of the digi images I have used and I have to tell you they are fab - it's the new Little Stars Collection - aren't they gorgeous? There are 4 altogether but I have used 3.

So here is my DT card for the Celebrations challenge, a little shaker card:

The papers are Pink Petticoat and the sentiment is from talented team Marit. This little cutie is called "Sent from Above".

My other 2 samples both use Pink Petticoat paper.

"Little Star"

and

"Moon Lullaby"

So if you fancy the chance of one of these digis winging its way to you, please let me know which one in your comment.

I will announce the winner of the digi on Sunday night.

Please pop over to the challenge blog to join the celebrations and see the fab creations of the DT.

Wedding Card

Good afternoon all - we are having glorious weather at the minute, hooray!! We've just came back from a 1st Birthday Party so we are suffering from a sugar high!!

Got a little wedding card to show you, it is very similar to the bottle tag I made for a CES challenge a few weeks ago. It is always handy to have a wedding card made up!

CES Challenge #43 - Woodland Creatures

Oh dear, it's Saturday night and I didn't schedule this post - slap on the wrist for me! Wonderful cards last week folks - you guys are very inventive with shaped cards! This week's challenge has been set by the sensational Shell and is:

Now this could be animals or butterflies, etc - the theme is open to interpretation!

The winner will receive a £10 voucher (not incl) P&P from Crafty Emma's Store which has some absolutely delish pre-orders on:



and other fab papers and if you're a fan of Fizzy Moon the Christmas range is coming soon, woohoo!

Anyway onto my card:

The image is from LOTV and was already coloured (great for a quickie card!). The papers Prima "Fairy Flora", Bakers Twin and flower are all from Crafty Emma's Store. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards. The filigree corner is from Wild Orchid Crafts and the wooden butterfly has been distressed by me!

Please pop over to the Challenge blog and have a look at all the fantastic creations by the DT! Thanks for visiting!

Promarker Storage

My favourite colouring medium is ProMarkers but it always annoyed me when I had to hunt around for the colours that I wanted! I saw this idea in a magazine and decided to give it a try! It's fab, easy to use but sadly not too portable!!

It's basically a DVD storage box from Ikea and DVD boxes without covers. In Microsoft Word I created boxes which I then named with the colours and a space to colour it in. I put the colours into order using one of the colour charts you get with the packets of ProMarkers - this makes it really easy to work out which ones to blend together! I then put the little tables along the spine of the DVD box. I put a coloured adhesive dot at the end of each pen to make it really easy to find the colour needed.
