  This sweet little robin digi comes from angels landing, I added the sentiment before printing and coloured as always with my promarkers. Papers are from a craft creations christmas pack, layered on green card. It's difficult to see in the picture but I love how the holly paper has red glitter on the berries. I used a little wooden bow and some gems from my stash just to complete the look.

  As I've probably mentioned before I'm not the worlds biggest fan of pink... but I realise I'm in a minority and most of my female friends (and my sister) love it so I do occasionally cater to them. The image came from Kenny K, coloured with my promarkers. The papers are from a make & create pad I picked up in the works a few days ago. Sadly the image came out a little dark when I took the picture so it looks a bit darker than it is. It's actually a much brighter pink. The pad has a lot of pink! My sister will be thrilled, lol!  I used a white card base, but purple card to layer and added a little twine, some flowers and gems to embellish.

This bicycle stamp is from a freebie set I got with a magazine a few years ago. I think it was cardmaking and papercraft, but can't be sure. I stamped it directly on the craft base and used my promarkers to colour the frame and wheel rims. The sentiment was two stamps from the same set. The paper was from make and create and I added a few gems and a single flower embellishment to complete it.

This cute stamp came in a stamp set I got with a magazine, months and months ago. I can't remember what magazine, but I thought it was perfect to go with this sketch from TSOT. I coloured it with my promarkers The papers from the Oliver pad by My Minds Eye, layered on slate grey card. And added a few gems and flowers for embellishments.

How cute is this wee pupper from digi doodle shop. I've had him cut out waiting for me to decide what to do with him for aaaaages! I finally coloured him with my promarkers and decided on this side stepper card. The various elements were cut on my cameo. The paper is from the Nit Wit Paws-ativity collection. I stamped and cut the sentiment by hand and added it to the tree with a bit of twine, to make it look kinda like a swing (and it does swing, side to side at least, lol).

  Isn't this tie from silhouette store adorable? I thought it was perfect for a good luck card for a new job. I used a scrap of paper from my scraps box for the pattern, stamped the sentiment and added a few black gems, mounting the whole thing on a black card.

  I just love this cute image and sentiment from Jan's digital stamp shop, I've had it printed forever just waiting to be used. Coloured with my promarkers.

  I cut the leaves on my silhouette. The paper is from a pack from Craft ID. On a brown card base, with some brown pearls to finish. The sentiment stamped, but I can't remember where the set came from. Challenges: Color Throwdown #756 - Green, orange and Brown Krafty Chicks #677 - CAS

I loved this cute little sketch from Atlantic Hearts, so I knew I wanted to use it. I used papers from a pack called Merry and Bright from make&create, on a green card base. The sentiment was stamped from a set I got an age ago, from a magazine freebie, I think. A gem above the 'i' on christmas and a little wooden reindeer embellishment from my stash to finish it off.  Challenges: Atlantis Hearts Challenge - #538 sketch Incy Wincy Designs - Sentiment and/or Die Cut only

  This Sassy Studio Designs image was perfect for my friends sister. I coloured it with my promarkers and used papers from lipstick basics and black card layers, on a red card base.

This adorable Santa is from loobyloo, coloured with my promarkers. The Ho Ho Ho was cut on my silhouette cameo, from the same colour card as my card base, mounted on a layer of white. Finished with a few gems from my stash. Challenges: - Inspired by Challenge - Alphabet (Big Bold Sentiment) - CAS on Sunday - #263 Holidays - Krafty Chicks Challenge - #676 Christmas

  I just loved the sketch this week from freshly made sketches and immediately knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. A couple of my friends take halloween every bit as seriously as most people take christmas (maybe more) so I wanted to do halloween cards for them. The web and tree/bats are cut on my cameo. I inked a bit behind them - I've never played much with that sort of inking, so I don't think it turned out to badly considering. The sentiment was from stampin up and a few black gems to finish it off. Challenges: Freshly Made Sketches - #FMS598 Sketch 613 Avenue Create - Anything goes w/optional CAS

  This cute image from Pollycraft was coloured with my promarkers, and I added some glitter glue on the wings and around the 'fluffy' bit of the jacket. The sentiment was just hand printed. The papers were from the make&create 'Joy to the World' pack. I used green for the layering, on a kraft card base and a few gems to finish it up.

  I've had this image in a stack of other ones, pre coloured forever (almost literally). It was one of my few attempts with oil pastels that weren't a complete disaster. I will update where the stamp is from just as soon as I can - it's a digi and I forget where, but I can find it, as soon as I have my flash drive back - it had to go to the computer doctor because it got broken (yes that's every bit the disaster it sounds like, all my digis are on there, fortunately, they've assured me it's no issue to get them back as it's the usb bit that's physically damaged, the chips inside are fine). The sentiment was from a sentiment set I picked up somewhere - maybe a magazine freebie. I wanted something that could be used for a variety of possible occasions - or no specific occasion. The papers were a new pack I picked up a while ago from the works. I just loved them and really wanted to use them, so when I came across tis image in my stash it was perfect. And s

  I always prefer to keep a couple of these handy, even though they are never nice to need, but  unfortunately, can't be avoided forever. I used the colour palette from Color Throwdown, nice and simple as I prefer my sympathy cards to be. I can't remember where the background stamp or sentiment came from, I have a feeling it may have been a magazine freebie, but honestly no idea. The flowers and wooden embellishments came from the range, I think. And a few pearls from my stash. Challenges: Color Throwdown - #754 Kraft, White and Green Unicorn Challenge - #90 CAS

  I love this old stitchy bear stamps image, it's just so pretty. I coloured it with my promarkers. I stamped the greeting with black and then gold ink just off-center.  The papers were from the First Edition Gilded Winter pack. I deckled the edges with scissors and added some gold ink, crumpling the paper before flattening it again.  The die cuts were cut on my cameo. They were originally grey card, so I used gold ink on them and a few gems to finish it all off.  Challenges: Jingle Bells - Neutral Noel Dream Valley Challenges - #298 Christmas in July Try it on Tuesday - Pretty Papers

  My friends boyfriend turns 30 on Wednesday, so I made this card for her to give to him. He's a big fan of gaming and so that was a natural theme to follow.  The stamp is LotV coloured with my promarkers. The sentiment was just typed. The papers are from a craft sensations pack called Lipstick Basics. A little twine and a few gems for simple embellishment, all on a black card base.
