Bling it on December Challenge

Another Fabulous digi image from the great Kenny K, coloured with Promarkers and the papers are a free download from http://papercraftinspirations.themakingspot.com/

Clean and simple

Made using a Marieanne emboss and cut folder, the stamps were freebies from a magazine and the big swirly thingy has been sprinkled with glamour dust, so its sparkling away like little ice crystals, but they dont show up on the photo.
And I've entered it into http://craftybloggersnetwork.blogspot.com/ the challenge is "Keep it simple"

"Blingiton" challenge blog

This month (May) I was honoured to be asked to be a guest designer over on http://blingitonchallenges.blogspot.com/ so, why not pop over and have a go,I chose to do a twisted easel card. I was given 4 images to choose from and picked this cute little bird on his cage, I printed it out onto this pretty frame that I found in my stash, coloured it with Promarkers matted and layered and added flowers from http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/ The pearl heart ribbon buckle is from there too,

Cobie age 5

Wow It's hard to believe that Cobie is 5 tomorrow, this time 2 years ago we couldn't begin to imagine how well he would be now. He still has another year of chemotherapy to do, but things are looking really promising, that he has kicked this terrible illness up the butt. All thanks go to Sheffield Children's Hospital. 

He WAS...... really into Ben 10, so I made a card accordingly, only to be informed on Saturday night when he and his little sister Lillie had a sleep over at ours, that he don't like him anymore (he's rubbish) and Pokemon are now in vogue, so while everyone else is sat out enjoying this glorious sunshine that we're having at the moment it was back to the drawing board for me!

At least I got another play on my Cricut, I really must use it more

Masculine

This is my take on a masculine card the image is a Flippin coloured with promarkers, I've added the sign on a brad so it actually swings, I'm entering it into a challenge over on http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.com/

Margarita time

It was made for a friend who loves margarita's, I made a gift box using the same lemon background paper and put in 2 lemons ! also bought her other ingredients to make her own margaritas, but I'm not responsible for any over indulgence!! LOL

Getting a bit clever now trying it for another challenge on http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/ something lemon, hey I'm really getting into this linking and blogging thing.

Trial and most probably error!
