A couple of men's cards...

This first one was made for my brother in law, who is a keen bowler. My sister, spends her summers complaining she's a bowls widow normally - this year she might just wish she was, lol! I got the fab image from Polkadoodles, coloured with my promarkers. The paper is from Jen Hadfield, on a kraft card base. Challenges: - A Bit More Time To Craft Challenge - #114, Anything Goes - Daisy Chain Challenge - #40, Birthday This one could do for several of my friends, I have a lot of gamers in my life, not sure how that happened, as until a few years ago I'd never owned a gaming system (yes I now own a PS3 and 4). I cut the die on my silhouette and the papers came from papermania's happy days pack. A bit of blue ribbon from my stash and a sentiment stamp from teddy bo & co, coloured in the buttons with promarkers just to round it off. Challenges: - Cardz 4 Guys - #243, Use Dies as Main Feature - CAS Colours & Sketches - #368, Sketch - Paperminutes - #638 - ...

With Love Mum at Christmas

So my Mum is obsessed with deer. So when I came across this stamp from Jan's Digital Stamp Shop, I knew it was perfect for her x-mas card. I coloured the image with my promarkers. With papers from Craft Sensations, a bit of twine, gems and a charm from (somewhere?!) to finish it off. Challenges: Dream Valley Challenges - #244, Our 4 Legged Friends Sparkles Christmas Challenge - #111, Christmas Critters Creative Craft Cottage - #128, CAS or FULLY LOADED Thanks for visiting!

Naughty Boys List

I think I'll use this one for my Aunt. She's widowed, 70-something... and never at home! That's more to do with Bingo than toy boys (or tall boys as my granny use to call them! lol!), but it amuses me nonetheless and I know she'll find it funny! I used an image from Bugaboo - I have recently re-acquainted myself with their site, omg my bank account is going to take a hit, lol! - coloured with my trusty promarkers. Papers from dovecraft back to basics christmas modern pack. Challenges: - Alphabet Challenge - A is for Anything Goes - Sketch Saturday - #606: Sketch (I did flip it, hopefully that's okay!) Thanks for checking out my card!

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."

I use to make cards. Honestly, a ridiculous amount of cards. But for a variety of reasons, I stopped for a long time, other than the occasional special occasion. Well this year, I'm determined to get back into it and have challenges myself to make all handmade Christmas cards. I'd decided that having 3 weeks off in April/May was the perfect time to re-organise all my craft stuff and get back on the wagon... that two weeks doesn't actually start 'til Saturday, but on account of basically not leaving the house in weeks, other than work, well... no time like the present. So I present (hell but English is weird) my first card in... a really long time, lol! I used Vintage Christmas stamps that came free with a magazine a looooong time ago and coloured with my promarkers - which colour me impressed not so much as a little dried up after 2+ years with very little to no use! - on a red card base. Hopefully I remembered how this challenge thing works and didn't mess it...
