So onto the new challenge for November. This month the challenge is being sponsored by Little Claire and theme is Pretty Pastels and here is the very generous prize which is up for grabs!

And now onto my card

I've used an image from the Little Claire web site and the papers are really old ones from when I was on Debbi Moore's DT years ago. I coloured the image with Promarkers and added lots of iridescent glitter and a piece of blue ribbon and Bobs your uncle!

Thanks for dropping by and good luck with your entry to our challenge, I can't wait to see what you make :) 

Two in one!

I've combined a couple of challenges here in a card I made yesterday for the Secret Crafter challenge which is to use glitter on your card, then realised that I should have posted the Colour Create bit last night before the new challenge was posted today........a definite blonde moment (but I'm a red head LOL) Anyway, the colour combination was

Blue and green

Papers are by Papermania which is also covering my chipboard flower with the glittered centre (not much but it is there :)) I love the sage ribbon and it matches the textured card brilliantly. Another May birthday sorted, this time for DH's auntie.....I think I'm about done with May now so I can start on June. My nephew's birthday is 3rd and DD1 get's married on the 6th.

Toodle pip, thanks for looking.

Relax!

My next card is definitely a 'chill out' card :) and I used sketch #46 from the Sketch Saturday blog.

Papers and image are all by Pink Petticoat She has been coloured with Promarkers and the bubbles are glittered. The diamantes are from my stash.

Friday Sketchers plus....

...another of Sue's Christmas challenges :) Firstly, the sketch

and Sue says CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE-A-DAY - DAY SIX

yeah it's the week end so you ALL have time today and I NEED A CARD and it MUST be a CHRISTMAS CARD and must include PINK and TURQUOISE

This brings my number of completed challenges to 4 and I've got two questions to do on Challenge 12 but I'm stuck!

Supplies used are Pink Petticoat image (coloured with Promarkers and Sakura pens) and snowy paper downloads, pink paper and Jingle Bell are from Craftwork Cards, and the snowflake is Quickutz. The pink is obvious and the 'frilly' edge around the image is turquoise card.This card is for a quick order, along with the two below, that came in yesterday.

Both images are from Sally-Ann at Loves To Doodle
The top image was ready coloured and I just added a bit of glitter here and there and the bottom image was coloured with a pale pink Promarker. I added glitter to this one too. Papers again are downloads and the stripey one on the boy card is from the Anita's Blue Christmas pad.

Back to make some more 10 minute cards :)

Enjoy what's left of the day.

Secret Crafter

Saturday Challenge #6. This is another great sketch from Wendy and the girls, check out the blog and see for yourselves :)
This is my (quick) take on the card. The papers are off cuts from the English Paper Company, the circle has been Cuttlebugged (is nothing safe ;)) and the Christmas tree is glittered chipboard and was free with Papercraft Essentials this month.
Very quick and easy............thanks Wendy :)

Friday Sketchers

#26.............better late than never!!! :) I've been meaning to do this all week and somehow never got round to it............not to worry though, it's done :) I had three cards to make for DH to take to work this weekend. He has a wedding tonight and a wedding and a 16th birthday tomorrow night. Here is the 16 th.

Paper is Pink Petticoat, flower is by Cuttlebug (the gems in the middle are actually hot pink!), and the 16 was cut with the Curlie Wurlie alphabet. I cut it in pale pink then glittered it ;) I seem to be using glitter quite a bit lately!

Check this out...

I found two new blogs the other day. I can't remember how I came across Jennifer's but I'm glad I did because her work is just lovely. I came across Taylor's blog through Jennifer and her work is just gorgeous too! Thank you so much for sharing ladies, I shall revisit often.


Taylor has a template challenge on her blog and as I need some cards for April birthdays and my stock box, I thought I would give it a go.

and here is my card.

It also fits one of the challenges on Just Bex set by Lis.

Get Stuck In Now there's no excuses for most of you for this challenge Lots of you have been mentioning having this weekend off and soooooo many of you have been boasting on here about all the new stash you've been buying lately So this challenge should be quite simple really, although maybe not for some of you paper strokers.........you know who you are !!!! Simply make anything, but it has to be using your most recent stash.....that means cutting into those new papers girls.

It also fits in with Bea's blog candy shout. She wanted cards with pink on them to celebrate reaching 50,000 visitors.........what a fab achievement.

I used the brown flower and pink paper from my new Basic Grey Sugared pad (I love it) which I bought last week :) Other bits are: cupcake from Pink Petticoat which I have glittered and layered with foam pads, and pink ribbon from Ribon Oasis.

Off to make another couple now then I need to do a couple of bits on my web site before the decorating resumes!!!
