Poppy Power Milton!

Well....I do love this little guy! I chose to colour his poppy pink this time, as it was the colour of a poppy that sprung up out of nowhere in my garden last year. I've kept the seeds so hopefully I'll have loads more this year! Fingers crossed.xx
I've made a criss-cross pocket card with papers from Cuddly Buddly, and edged it with some white lace. I've stamped me little "Milton with Poppy" from Wild Rose Studio , and coloured him with Promarkers. The layered flowers are from my stash, and I've stuck black beads in the centre of each, to match the poppy!
I'm entering this one in the  Joanna Sheen Challenge and the I Love Promarkers challenge both called "Flower Power"!

Pretty Angel spreading the Joy!

Out came the NitWit papers again...I do love them. These are from the "Heavenly" collection. I've layered them onto gold mirri card and made the base stepper card in light blue. I've added some sparkly trim and some gold Stickles. Another one to enter into CraftyhazelnutsChristmasChallenge which this week is to use any greeting/sentiment WITHOUT the word Christmas!
I'm off now to buy some more Nitwit papers, just noticed they have a sale on! http://www.nitwitcollections.com/shop/ is the place to go!
Happy wet sunday! Looking on the bright -side, it is IDEAL card-making weather!

Red Red Robin Christmas Card

Another Christmas Card! Oh yes please! For this one I've layered up papers from Papermania's "Classic Christmas" collection with gold mirri card, with a big splash of tartan ribbon. The topper is from the same paper collection, and it feels like a cheat to me, but I just could NOT resist thoses robins! I've finished it off with some gold holly leaves and red flat-backed pearls.Another one I will be entering in Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge.
That's all from me today. But hooray for me.....another day off tomorrow!

Spring Fling Birthday Card

I've had an extra day off work today to study. I managed to do an hour or so before the crafting addiction took over! So I've made this card with Spring in mind to enter the WOC challenge "Spring is in the air" and the Stampwithsarahkay challenge "Spring".
I've stamped my Sarah Kay "Katie" onto white card and coloured her in with lilac and pinky Promarkers. The backing paper is very apt, it's from Kate Knight's "Spring Fling" collection (a freebie too!), with a matching sentiment. The flowers are mainly from Wild Orchid Crafts . The pearls and trimmings are all from my stash.
Hope you like her!

Dreaming of a Black and White Christmas!

This is a card I've made with men in mind. Lots of matting and layering in holly print paper, silver mirri, white and black card. I've used a die-cut tree which I've added a bit of Stickles to. Then simply embellished (because men like simple!) with black flat-backed pearls and a silver padded reindeer.
This will be my second entry in craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge. And I will also be entering it in tuesdayalchemy challenge-11-black-white

Sparkling Skater Girl

This is my last post for today, honest!
I've used a digistamp from bugaboostamps (one of the stamps I bought with my winnings!), and coloured her in with promarkers, with a sprinkling of Stickles. I've layered her onto blue glitter paper and silver mirri card, then created more layers with Dovecrafts "WinterWonderland" papers. I've embellished her with my favourite Christmas trim...the pompoms! And a snowflake brad, and clip from my stash.
That's it from me today...just got to enter this one in craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge "lots of layers" and sparklesforumchristmaschallenge "Colour me happy". Then it's wine o'clock!
Have a great weekend.

18th Birthday Easel card

I was asked by my neighbour to make a card for her niece's 18th....without a bottle or glass of booze on it! The colour scheme was inspired by the present she bought, which was a chunky glass bead pendant necklace. The papers are from Papermania Birdsong, everything else from my stash.
I'm entering this one in the crazy4challenges make it POP with black cardstock!
