Love & Marriage....

love & marriage, go together like a horse & carriage!! I won't do any more, my singing is dire lol.

Another selection of cards for hubby to take to work when he is djing at a wedding. I used an assortment of digi stamps from Pink Petticoat and Digistamp Boutique, some paper offcuts and lace, ribbon, gems and flowers which were in a pot on my desk. 

See you soon

Butterflies Flutterby

A pinch and a punch on the 1st of the month! Right that's got that out of the way so that we can move on with things!! I realise that this is the 2nd of Feb but I actually started rewriting this post yesterday morning as I wasn't happy with the one I wrote last week....I got a bit side tracked though which is why I'm just finishing it now lol (I've been weather watching on the Watering Hole  web cam in Perranporth. It's quite frightening as a huge chunk of sand was removed from the beach in the last storm last month which left the Watering Hole, the pub on the beach, very exposed and not far from the edge. I just hope that it's still standing in the morning after more terrible tides have hit on yesterday morning as predicted.

So yes, let's now get the ramblings in check so that you understand what I'm talking about :) It is new challenge day on the Crafting Muskateers blog and the theme this month is

"Butterflies"

and this month we are sponsored by Dreemees and here is a bit about them

"Dreamees is run by mother and daughter team Carol and Hayley Bignall."Founded in 2010, Dreamees has grown from strength to strength over the past months. We've managed to secure stands at shows around the country (venturing from Worcester up to Sunderland and across as far as Manchester & Hull!) and have recently decided to aim for larger shows including Whichcraft and the NEC (Nov 2012). With over 15 CD Roms and a range of polymer stamps that grows weekly, Dreamees has successfully featured in many leading papercraft magazines such as 'Complete Cardmaking with your PC', 'Papercraft Essentials', 'The Complete Guide to Digital Crafting' and soon to be 'Creative Cardmaking'.
Dreamees became manufacturers of Polymer plates in January 2012 and have since supplied growing and established businesses, along with providing custom stamps for paper crafters.
As of November 2013, Dreamees have appeared on Create & Craft TV multiple times and continue to do so."

Friday Sketchers

times two!!! I have finally got round to posting last week's sketch card too. lol

The image is another we had been sent us to work with by DZ Doodles, coloured with Promarkers. Papers are from Craftwork Cards, My Mind's Eye and Animal Antics by First Edition Papers. All the gems etc are from my stash. I've left the sentiment off this card as I think it can be used for numerous occasions and I can add a greeting at the POS.

 

Another card with no sentiment using assorted papers from my oddments box, Prima flowers and gems, pretty simple really :)

New sponsor

This week over on the Inspirational Card Sketches blog we are being sponsored by My Creative Classroom. Sketch #93 is another of our very talented Stacy's

The sentiment is from a DCWV Quote Stack that I have had for years, I think the patterned paper is from a 6 x 6" pad by Basic Grey, punches, die cuts, decorative scissors and a gem complete the card.

Wanna play? Come on then :)

One world, one heart

I got my two winner's gifts off at the beginning of last week and am pleased to say that Lorraine has received hers. Lisa is on holiday at the mo so hopefully it will be waiting for her when she gets back. I made a couple of small cards too to say thanks for entering my give away. I was unlucky again this year and didn't win anything :)

 

  

 

I can't remember which card I sent with which earrings! The card above was made using punched flowers, a handmade flower and rub ons.

The card on the right was made with a butterfly from The Digi Stamp Boutique, rub on sentiment, gems, ribbons and nestabilities.

Thanks for looking.

Friday Sketchers

weeks 51 and 52 and Papertake Weekly's challenge which is to you animals on your card.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong with blooming blogger but I can't seem to do anything I want to do. I can't add multiple pictures any more and I can't drag pictures to where I want them and can only add one picture at a time. I've just tried editing my 'Friday Sketchers' post as I showed the sketch of one and the image of another and it wouldn't let me! Anyway.......



Papers are Pink Petticoat and left overs by Papermania (from the albums I made during the week), the gems are Anita's and the other bits are from my stash. That's a birthday card for DH's neice, at the end of the month, off my list.

I used some more fabby papers from the Patti Picklicious cd and a little left over piece from Papermania wedding paper, my cutie little owl stamp stamp is from Stamps Away, the blossom stamp is from Debbi Moore, the fabulous swirl is a Quickutz Revolution die (and I love it), the flowers are Prima and the gems are from my stash.

I'm really happy with this card (which makes a change!!!)
