BUTTON UP

Hi everyone,
I'm here today with my DT card for The Crafter's Cafe where the them this week is "Use Buttons".
We have the fabulous "Art by Miran" to sponsor us, love her images!
I have used "Chef Charlotte" for my card, coloured in with Copics. I have used backing papers from Raspberry Road's "Raspberry Jam" collection. It was quite a tear-jerking card to make, as I've made it to give to my "jam-lady", one of my customers who makes and gives me loads of jam every year. Sadly, she is very poorly, and I fear she won't be around much longer, so this is a thank-you/thinking of you card for her. Such a lovely fun lady....sad times.
Anyway, it is now over to you...."Add Buttons"!
Hugs

HAPPY SNOWY DAYS

Hi everyone.
A month ago, I thought I was posting my last card for Crafting for all Seasons because our lovely leader, Carol, decided it was time to move on to ventures news, and our blog would be closing. But the lovely Erin has taken over so here we are....I wish Carol all the best (we'll keep in touch!), and here's my first card under new management!
Our challenge for this fortnight is "Christmas in July" and our sponsor is "Scrapper's Delights".
I have used Penguin Willy North Pole, coloured in with Copics. The background is made up of papers from Michele R Designs "Winter Frost" collection, and I've added a touch of Stickles for a little snowy sparkle!
So now it's over to you....maybe it's time to start your Christmas cards?!

PS. There is a DT callout on The Crafter's Cafe challenge blog.....please take a look for details. We're a friendly team!xx

OVER THE RAINBOW

Hi everyone.
It's time for a new challenge at Lacy Sunshine and the theme this time is "Over the Rainbow".
I have used ""Rory Sitting On A Rainbow"", coloured in with Copics. The background papers are from Raspberry Road Designs, (Bear Necessities and Faded Love collections) which I chose because one looks like "rain" and the other gives a musical feels, and together with a sunflower...."sun" and "rain"....you get a rainbow! See what I did there?! 
So now it's over to you.....try making a RAINBOW card without singing THAT song!
Hugs

STARS AND STRIPES

Hi everyone.
Second card of the day and this is my DT make for The Crafter's Cafe where the theme this week is Stars and Stripes.
Our sponsor is Melonheadz Doodles.
As I write, I can't remember where I got the backing papers from, and I only got them yesterday! My mind is definitely elsewhere....little girl gone away with school, and it's also her last week before BIG school....and my little mind is a bit emotional! Sorry all!
I will update soon.

RORY REINDEER

Hi everyone!
Today's card is my mid-month inspiration for Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra, the challenge as always is "Anything Goes".
I have used a Lacy Sunshine image called "Rory Lil Reindeer", coloured in with Copics. A little more practice for my Kit and Clowder Animal class! The background papers are a mix, mainly from Michele R Designs, the "wood" paper is from Digital Stores on Etsy.
Halfway through the year now.....how many Christmas cards have you made?!

Hi everyone.
It's time for a new challenge at The Crafter's Cafe and the theme this week is SUMMER FUN!

The tags and sentiment are from Michele R Designs and the background paper and shells from my stash.
Now it's over to you....think fun in the sun!
