Pollycraft Monday Challenge #117 - Anything Goes!!

Morning all - the last day of October already! My parents had a family Halloween party yesterday and we all dressed up. Hubby was a Rock Star (in his dreams!) and I went as a Clown (no comments thank you!!)

I really enjoyed all of last week's spooky entries - you really like Halloween! This week's challenge has been set by the marvellous Marit and is, quite simply:

ANYTHING GOES!

This week's winner will receive a 5 Pack of Promarkers from Letraset - a great prize!

So what did I create for my Anything Goes?? I went for some christmas decorations!

I die cut the snowflakes using glitter card. The cute images are Pollycraft's Chester who is currently on special offer over at the shop - £2.50 for all 4 Chester Christmas images - a total bargain!! Promarkers and some sparkles finish off my little Chesters (the same image is also on the back of the snowflake).

Please make sure you visit my teamies blogs to see fantastic anything goes and I hope we inspire you to join us this week! 

Thanks for visiting!

Pollycraft Monday Challenge #116 - Spooky Goings On!!

Morning all - back to school here in Scotland after our October holiday - boo!! Boys are of course looking forward to school and my department get to move back from the huts into the "big" school after 6 years - hooray!!!

Anyway, this week's challenge has a decidedly spooky feel to it as set by the marvellous Mary J:

SPOOKY GOINGS ON

It is, of course, nearly that super spooky time of year (although not a big fan to be honest but the boys have a halloween school disco) when things go bump in the night (usually me trying to get to the loo with the lights off lol!)

Up for grabs for one lucky winner this week are 10 Pollycraft Digis:

Over at Pollycraft at the minute you can grab yourself a bargain - I do love my Promarkers!!:

So, onto my spooky creation! Went a bit pink for this and of course used Pollycraft's Luna Bitterfrost - Vampires Rock. The digi papers are from Pink Petticoat and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The sentiment is a rubon and the charm was lurking in my stash as was the pink rafia lace.

Thanks for visiting and do pop over to my talented teamies blogs to catch up with their spooky creations and I hope we inspire you to join us this week!

CES Challenge #59 - New Beginnings (2 week challenge)

Just missed the morning, so good afternoon to you all!! As always you may have noticed I'm a little tardy with my post - I do have a reason!!! With the boys being on their school October week holiday, we went down to the Lake District for 5 days - being as organised as ever, I had to rustle up a card yesterday which I couldn't photograph until today. Am I forgiven????

This week's CES challenge is going to run over 2 weeks - we are all too excited waiting for Emma to have her little one that we can't concentrate!!

So, this week's challenge is appropriately called:

NEW BEGINNINGS

Now this could cover babies as well as new home, new job - you get the idea!

The lucky winner of this challenge will receive £10 voucher (not incl P&P) for Crafty Emma's Store:

Emma currently has a ***MASSIVE CLEARANCE SALE WITH UP TO 80% OFF*** plus an extra 20% OFF EVERYTHING (excl. gift vouchers & digi images). You just need to enter this code at checkout... SALE20 

There maybe a slight delay in despatch of orders due to the fact that Emma is due to give birth any day now!

Well I had a thought to make a New Home card - the idea worked in my head but not sure it worked in practice, but here we go anyway!!
 

The paper is Basic Grey "Out of Print" which is available from Crafty Emma's Store. I just did some tearing (which is not like me at all!), added some little flowers, buttons and pearls.

Please check out my teamies fabby cards and I hope we inspire you to join us this fortnight!

Pollycraft Monday Challenge #114 - Boys Boys Boys!

Good morning (or as good as it can be on a Monday!). Why is the weekend only 2 days long? Spend yesterday afternoon tidying the boy's playroom - this was the room that would be their responsibility to keep tidy so they could play in it - did they? Did they heck. As less of the carpet became visible I totally lost it and tidied it up. I suspect the boys knew this would eventually happen so were happy! Managed to fill a black bin bag so it was quite theraputic!!

Anyway, onto this week's challenge as set by the fantastic Faye:

BOYS BOYS BOYS

I know I can hear some of you groaning - but boys cards are fun!!

This week's winner will receive a 5 pack of Promarkers from Letraset:

Here's my card:

This gorgeous fella is Casper Silvermist - My Board from Pollycraft. Perfect for teenages! The numbers are Thickers. The sentiment, card blank, buttons and twine as well as the paper "MME Everyday Flair" are from Crafty Emma's Store. The charm was lurking in my stash.

Please check out my very talented teamies and I hope we inspire you to join us this week!

CES Challenge #57 - Seeing Red

Good morning all - the first day of my October holiday - 2 weeks of no school!!! Anyway, this week's CES Challenge has been set by Jenny and she has chosen:

Now my 2 boys would probably see I often see red if they are misbehaving but in the crafty sense we want to see RED as your main colour - how easy is that??

The winner will receive a £10 voucher (not incl P&P) for Crafty Emma's Store:

So here is my card:

The image is LOTV and the gardenis is from (I think!) Wild Orchid Crafts. The papers (MME Everyday Flair), the card blank, sentiment and Card Candi are all from Crafty Emma's Store.

Pink {Ink} Sketch Challenge #7 - Erica's Sketch

I'm sure I've said before but I do love using sketches - it means you can concentrate on the papers and embellies!!

Erica at Pink {Ink} Sketch Challenge has created a fab sketch which was great to use.

I had this little LOTV fella coloured up (using ProMarkers) and looking lonely so I teamed him up with an old MM paper pad "Kids Collection Sam", used my new Marianne punch and added some card candi and a sentiment from Crafty Emma's Store.

I am finally on my 2 weeks school holidays but of course have a million things to do - I might even manage a little crafting!

Thanks for visiting!

So, do you want to see my card?? I really wanted to use this image but didn't have any suitable DPs so I just used card and embossing folders - I quite like how it's turned out! The sentiment is computer generated and the teenie buttons and pearls were in my stash:
