Quick cards Sunday!

Good morning Campers!! How are we all this morning? It's miserable grey and windy here at Scruff's Corner and I have ironing to do.......now how is that for a bad day already!?!

I have more cards in my blog folder so here goes

 This card was made for one of hubby's nephews whose birthday is on Christmas Day! The Man U badge was pinched from somewhere on t'internet and the footballer is from a stamp set by Papermania called Nostalgia Pastimes, he was coloured with Promarkers.

 This is a card made in a hurry with a pre coloured image from Lili Of The Valley, a piece of b/g card and ribbon from Kanban and a typewritten sentiment

 I don't know where the cupcake is from on this card, I've been all through my documents today and can't find any trace of it. I coloured the heart with a poppy Promarker and then gave it a good squirt of Glossy Accents. The doily and ribbons are from my craft box.

I love this image. It's one I bought from Funky Kits ages ago and have loads of uses out of her. A quick colour with Promarkers, a piece of white satin ribbon and that's it finished.

I hope you've liked my quick run down of quick cards.
Thanks for looking.

It's hard to believe that it's week 12 of the PFP challenges already! "Onto this week's challenge, which has been chosen by the lovely Natalie - she wants us to use Cocoa and Rose Pink predominantly on our images."

I used the week 99 sketch from Mojo Monday and I also used the challenge set by Wendy on the Secret Crafter's blog which was "Cute as a bug - The answer is in the title - we want to see cute bugs!"

Snail is by Stampendous
Papers - Making Memories Cosmopolian Collection
Brad - Papermania
Ribbon - Stash

And finally

.........for now is my card for Just Christmas & Birthday Cards challenge #21



Albie the Rabbit stamp is from Funky Kits and he is coloured with (yes, you've guessed it LOL) Promarkers! buttons are Papermania, ribbon is from Ribbon Oasis and the ric rac is from Crafts By Carolyn, the sentiment was done in Word using Word Art.

Friday Sketchers & Colour Create

I used the sketch for the colour challenge this week which was We are being very gentle with you this week, using a tried and tested colour combination with an extra option you're sure to like. You see, we don't make it difficult every single week, lol! So here is the colour combination

For this week's extra option we would like you to use lace and pearls, but please remember that this is not compulsory.

...Challenge #18 plus one.

This week's challenge is set by our lovely KIM - "Recycling". Any project but must have some element of recycling on it!

So here we have the ultimate in recycling!

The whole card front was recycled as it was (obviously) the front of another card but I had put it on wonky and when I tried lifting it to straighten I tore the card underneath. So rather than throw the whole thing away, I re-used it! The ribbon is from a pair of pyjamas from Santa :))


The image stamp is by Elizabeth Bell and is available from Funky Kits She was coloured with Sakura Stardust pens. Paper is by Brenda Pinnick.

Hi Maggie!

Yesterday saw the release of the new DCM dare and the brief was

"This week's Dare theme is a team effort rather than a challenge just thought up by just one of us. We'd like you to take the phrase"Hot and Spicy" and make of it what you will.
It could be colour themed, food themed or maybe have just a hint of saucy spicy-ness"

so I decided to use my Maggie stamp (hence the title!) and here she is

The papers are from The Funky One by Anice and they are lovely. As you can see, I used pale pink and green together and decided that my accent colour would be hot pink. Maggie was watercoloured using Marvys and a water brush (colouring isn't my strong point but I think it is passable :)) Flower, ribbon and eyelets are from the Papermania embellishment kit and the greeting was generated on the computer. The front was cut off the card because i decided to be clever and stamp straight onto it..............but it went wrong LOL so rather than waste the card, I 'trimmed' it!!

The rest of my week, apart from the cards I've already blogged, was taken up with a wedding order. The colour of these is lovely. It's almost like Cadbury's purple........

but the colour doesn't show up too well in the picture.

I've just taken delivery of a new stamp and found another template challenge so will have a go at that shortly. We haven't got anything planned for today as DH is working this evening and tomorrow we are popping over to have a look at my parents new house. They are moving back to the place where they met 52 years ago. It's an ex RAF camp, dad was stationed there and mum worked for NAAFI, and they are moving into an ex married quarter! I think it's so romantic..............but I'm like that :))

Whatever you are up to, have a good weekend.

Take care.
