Lost my mojo!

Today's post is long overdue,I have officially lost my mojo over the last couple of weeks & can't get into making cards at all! I am starting to panic as I only have 30 Christmas cards made so need to get cracking!!!! This is one of the 4 new baby cards I have made for all the new arrivals that are due in November. I find the scalloped edge cards work well for baby cards. Hope you are all well, any tips on how to inspire me will be gratefully received!! xxx

Promarkers challenge

Back at last with a card for the promarkers challenge blog. The sketch can be used with any colours of your choice, I loved the clean & simple lines of this sketch. Recipe

• Daisy & Dandelion papers
• Coredinations card stock
• Magnolia stamped image coloured with Berry red,Burgundy,gold & Mint green as well as the hair & skin tones.
• Gold punched stars
• Die cut letters

I have not posted for ages as there has been lots going on at home, so I've not felt like crafting. My Hubby's job is looking uncertain & my little boy is poorly. Hope you are all well, and looking forward to blog hopping soon.

Promarkers challenge

Today's post is my entry for the Promarkers challenge blog. This week you could use any colours with the following recipe: 3 shapes,2 papers,1 ribbon. I love doing recipes as they are a bit more creative than a sketch. Recently I have not been so keen on doing all the sketch challenges,its nice to have a bit more input. Particularly as I love the simpler,fresher card layouts. Hope you are having a good week, Autumn collages went down a storm at Toddler group,so just a night shift on the ward to get through now lol!!!! xxx

In the pink!

Quick post today as we are off to a friends house for lunch & then I have toddler group craft to prepare this afternoon! I have made this card for a friends birthday next week. The card is also my entry for the "3 clovers" challenge blog,this is the first time I've entered this one. I have used Marshmallow from "Daisy & Dandelion" stamp set. Coloured with Promarkers, I have got a few of the new shades which are very pretty. I would never spend all that money on collecting the full set, I have about 40 pens now and feel this is enough to achieve good results. Happy Crafting xxx

Back with a challenge at last!

Today's post is my entry for the "JCBC's" challenge blog,I loved this clean & simple sketch this time. This is my first post for about 10 days, what a bad blogger! I have not really been in a crafty mood. However today I have sorted out my shed & unpacked a few Promarkers and a "Daisy & Dandelion" kit I treated my self too. I never usually use kits anymore but I am really enjoying making a few cards with decoupage & stickers for a change. I know its cheating,but it can be satisfying getting a few more done when time is short!

Recipe

• Daisy & Dandelion papers,stickers & greeting
• Gold ribbon
• gold bow

Hope you have a nice weekend & hope to get some blog hopping done soon!

Tilda I missed ya!

Today's post is a card I made yesterday for the Christmas box,this is number 29!!!!!! I used one of my Magnolia's from last years Christmas stamp club. I have not used any Tilda's for ages and I had forgot what a joy to colour they are!!! I must make more use of them, instead of buying more new stamps!!!!! Instead I could buy a few more promarkers ;) I am off now too prepare the kids craft activity at Toddler group, tissue paper flower gardens! xxx

Double Challenge Christening!

Today's card is a Christening card for a friends little boy,it also is my entry for two challenges this week. The first challenge is the "promarker challenge blog" ,the theme this week is polka dots & you were able to use any colours you choose. The Promarkers I mainly used to colour this image were saffron,sandstone & pearl blue. I also used one of the two sketches from the "Sweet Sketch Wednesday" challenge blog,I really enjoyed the simplicity of this sketch. Recipe:

• Papermill card stock
• DCWV paper
• FF image coloured with promarkers
• Prima flowers
• pearls
• Gingham ribbon

Hope you are having a great weekend,we have had a really relaxing time!!!! xxx

21 again!

Today's card is my Brothers 21st birthday card,he is a fishing fan as you can guess! The Daisy & Dandelion stamp was coloured with Promarkers & I also hand stamped the back round. I am enjoying being a bit more creative again with my stamping,instead of just using printed papers all the time. I am also officially tired of Christmas cards for a while, so am looking forward to making a Christening card this weekend. xxx

Scrappy Christmas!

Just a quick post today to show you another one for my Christmas box, was up to 27 Christmas cards last time I counted! My aim is for about 30 by the end of September,then I will be half way there! This card is also my enrty for the "Creative Inspirations" challenge blog,where the theme this week is animals! A nice easy one for me,as I love the cute & cuddly animal images. This card was made using a free stamp from "card making & paper craft" magazine, and scraps from my Christmas papers box. Ribbon off cut and glass beads to embellish. Quick post today as I am getting all my washing & cleaning done today before I go to work tonight. Then I have peace of mind its done for the weekend before my energy has run out! xxx

Snow time!

Today's card is for the "Just Christmas & Birthdays challenge blog". This week it was another great sketch to follow. I was in a snow flake mood as you can see! Recipe:

• DCWV paper
• CB snowflake embossed card
• PB image from "Jolly Holly" clear stamp set coloured with promarkers
• Punched Mirror card snowflakes
• Star gems

Hope you are having a good week. I have the dentists,doctors & then back to work on Wednesday night! Oh well, Cest la vie!
