Just Magnolia Challenge

Well I just cannot believe it!!

I have actually won this weeks Whiff of Joy Challenge which is absolutely brilliant. The only thing is that I am a nervous wreck now because I will be Guest Designer for 3 weeks - I am sure my mind will just go blank and I won't be able to think of anything.

Thank you to Whiff of Joy for chosing my card using the Random Generator.

On to this weeks Just Magnolia Challenge which is to do masking.

I am sorry that the lighting on this card is not so good but I had to take the photo tonight because I hadn't finished it during the day.

I have used two stamps on this card - Tilda and the bench with the Holly.

I just love this colour scheme.

The papers are Magnolia and the flowers are from Tabbycraft.

I have used some Copics and some Promarkers.

I hope you like it.

I am in a bit of a panic now because I have about 100 of my own Christmas Cards to make and it has taken me 2 days to make 10!!!

Back soon, thank you for looking

A multi purpose card

Good afternoon everyone.

I made a card last night using the sketch from Unscripted Sketches. I used Basic Grey papers so I thought it would also do for the Basic Grey Challenge, and I also used the colours Lavender, Soft Blue and Cream so that also fits in with the Roses on Paper Challenge. I put some faux stitching round the image which ties it in with the Papertake Challenge. So you see it is a multi purpose card - and here it is.

hope you all have a good weekend

Unscripted Sketches

Don't you just hate those days where you know just what you want to get done but then the day goes by and you haven't got anything done that you wanted to. Well today is one of those days!

Anyway I am looking forward to going out for my tea tonight - if David hasn't changed his mind when he gets home.

Itsabrt left a comment on my blog and suggested I took part in Unscripted Sketches Saturday Challenge and whilst looking at Itsabrt's blog I found this fantastic Blog Candy on Debbie's Blog -so I will attempt to put a link to it. I would so like to win it.

Here is the card I have made for the Unscripted Sketches Challenge, the only thing is that I have a full set of Pro Markers but none of them matched the pink on the paper so today I have had to nip and buy a couple of Copic Markers and they do match.

If anyone has any tips on using Copic Markers please email me with a bit of tuition. Thank you.

Thanks for stopping by

Papertake Challenge

I am feeling a bit achy today after walking into Brighouse and back yesterday - about 4 miles or more. It was OK going there because it is all downhill but walking back up with 2 bags of shopping was rather hard work and now my hip is aching!

I am hoping to get chance to do a few cards today and here is one that I did for the Papertake challenge this week.

The stamp is from Funky Kits and the designer paper is from a download from Nitwits. You probably can't tell but I have put the lilac card through the cuttlebug. I don't know if anyone else has the same problem but I do sometimes find that when I have embossed a piece of card and then stuck another card on the top of it, it doesn't always stick very well.

Have a nice day!

Cute Card Thursday Challenge

Hi, it's me again.

I have been to the rugby this afternoon and I was absolutely frozen when I got home - I had to have a bath to warm myself up.

My husband has only been playing for Queensbury for 2 months at the most and they were in a semi final today. He hasn't played for a couple of weeks with having had his hernia operation so I haven't been watching them. Honestly you just wouldn't believe it was a team of grown men playing - I actually asked the coach if he had brought some dummies with him and suggested he brings a box of them next week. You should have heard them all moaning and wittering about each other!!

Anyway back to the cards.

Here is my entrant for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge - the theme being food and drink.

Hope you like it.

The sketch was actually from a Papertake Challenge at the beginning of February but I didn't get round to doing it in time so decided I would have a go at it this week and here is the result. At least it came in for this challenge.

Yesterday I went to a workshop at Craftwork Cards run by the very talented Kirsty Wiseman

Below is one of the cards that we made. We also made a little gift bag, a three fold picture wallet and another card as well as the one below.

I just love the new silver and black papers from Craftwork Cards - they also do the same range in pink and brown.

When I got home I made the card below - and I was very surprised at just how quickly this one came together.

I haven't put a sentiment on it yet because I thought I might give it to my husband for Valentine's Day.

I was very pleased with it so I hope that you like it.

Thanks for looking.

luv
