Here is a card I was commissioned to do for a colleague.  A special friend of hers is going to be 70 years young and this car is his passion.  I have made a zig zag card.  I printed the car onto glossy photo paper and decoupaged it to give depth.  Hope she likes it, thanks for looking.

It seems ages since I had time to make a card other than a DT one.  This is one I made at craft club last night.  I have coloured Tilda with promarkers and glittered her wings before attaching with foam pads.  I cut some panels with nesties, chalked the edges and layered them with foam pads to add height.  The centre one has been embossed and a little glitter added.  I didn't have any flowers of the right colour so I coloured the edges with promarkers.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Time for a new challenge at Lili's Little Fairies and this week the theme is 'Anything But Square' so let's see what fancy shapes you can make your cards with.

If you saw my post on Monday you will see I made my first 'triple easel' card.  Well, I've done another one!!! 

This time I have used lacy circle nesties for the base card and the LOTV stamp called 'Coffee Break'.  Everything has been coloured with promarkers and a little pink chalk to pare down the whiteness of the cardstock.  I have highlighted some areas on the cakes with diamond glaze and attached them with foam pads to give added dimension.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Here we are Monday again, which means a new challenge for you at Whoopsi Daisy.  This week the theme is 'Shape It' so we don't want to see square or rectangular cards.  I can't wait to see what shapes you all come up with.  The DT have excelled themselves once more so make sure you check out their fantastic creations.

For my shaped card I have made a triple easel (using heart nesties), at least that's what I call it.  This is my first attempt at this type of card so you will have to forgive me if it's not very good.  As you can see I have made a new baby card as I just adore this cute little baby boy cuddling his giraffe.  I have coloured him with promarkers and 3D'd him in place.  The flowers are all punched (with the exception of the roses) and I have placed shimmer dots in the centres.  The sentiments are stamped and have tiny gem hearts attached.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Here is a card I was asked to make a little while ago (it went to China) for a computer geek.  I have coloured the image with promarkers and chalk and layered it using nesties.  I then mounted it onto a recycled CD which also added some sparkle.  The embellishments have been cut out from digi paper.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Apologies for the late posting of this card.  My son and daughter in law are moving house tomorrow and I have spent all my spare time lately helping them to get the new place habitable.  It has been neglected for the last ten years or so and there is a lot of work to do, a complete renovation job in fact.  At the moment this has to be my priority, along with working full time, so I have not had the time or energy to craft. 

Time for a new challenge at Lili's Little Fairies and this time the theme is 'Bear Essentials'.  The DT have worked their magic once more and provided a lot of inspiration for you so let's see all those cute little bears on your creations.

I have done a quick and simple male birthday card for you today using 'Football Shirt Bear'.  As usual I have coloured the image with promarkers.  I stamped the footballs and attached them with foam pads.  I have kept the design simple as I don't think many men want their cards covered with ribbons and flowers.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

It's Thursday again so time for another challenge at Lili's Little Fairies.  This week we want you to use 'Your Favourite Craft Tool' on your creations.  Don't forget to tell us what it is.  My favourites are my Big Shot, Nestabilities and Dies.  These are definately tools I cannot live without.


Today I have made a baby card using this sweet little image (Heaven Sent) which I coloured with promarkers and edged with chalk. The flowers and leaves have been punched and die cut and I have added pearls to the flowers. The lovely sentiment comes with the image stamp, bargain. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Time again for another Whoopsi Daisy challenge and this week we have a colour challenge for you which is 'We Love Pink'.  The DT have made some wonderful creations so make sure you check them out.

Today I have made a fold-back card using this gorgeous little tooth fairy which I have coloured with promarkers and added lots of glitter.  I then mounted her onto a doily which I sprayed with sparkle.  The corners and flower spray are stamped and heat embossed.  On the front panel I placed some punched borders which I topped with ribbon threaded lace.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Time for another challenge at Lili's Little Fairies and this week the theme is 'Anything Goes'.  We are being sponsored by 'Which Craft' with a great prize and I have used one of their 'Elegant Step' card blanks this week.

I started by covering the whole card with this gorgeous digi paper from Nitwits.  Next I added the image which I coloured with promarkers and layered using a nesties label die.  I then stamped a sentiment and made a tag using another nesties label die and attached to one of the steps.  I then die-cut some leaves, added punched flowers with pearl centres and added these to the other step.  Finally I threaded some satin ribbon through this gorgeous lace and added it to the bottom.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Here is another quick sporty card for a man.  The image has been coloured with promarkers again.  Having layered the card following the great sketch I then stamped 'howzat!' across one corner.  I then added a sentiment and to finish added some card candi.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.
