This weeks challenge over at Polka Doodles has been set by Brenda!!! She has asked us to use summer blossoms as our inspiration! I have been struggling as it is wet and overcast as i look out my craft room window!!! But I have been inspired once again by the latest CD which is all round and everywhere! I have choosen to use a blue and brown theme this week! The flowers are smaller versions of the pumpkin I made last year, they are super easy to do, all you need is a scallop circle die or punch and some glue!!! I have added some brown leaves that I rescued from and old brooch that was destined for the bin and I have added some beads in wire for some bling!!! Please pop over and join in with us!!!!

I thought while I am trying new things ( promarkers ) I thought go on give this whole masking malarky a try and here it is!!! BevvieBoo now with wings!!!

Well I must admit that I have had these stamps for a few weeks now and this is my first card that I have made!!! My colouring is not great so I have been practising before I made Nikkys fab stamps look poop!!! This fairy is my fav she is called BevvieBoo and she is so cute! Now she has a bueatiful butterfly that she comes with whixh you can use to give her wings but for my first card I decided babysteps!!! This is a C6 card which I have decorated with some elements from an old QVC kit I had hiding in my stash, I inked the edges of the flowers and the sentiment for a bit of depth! The butterfly is from tonic studio and I bought it at HobbyCraft. Finally Bevvie is stamped using versafine onyx black ink then I have used pro markers to colour her in! I only have one set so expect to see alot of purples until next payday!!!

This weeks challenge over at Polka Doodles has been set by Ruth! She has asked us all to alter something!!! I had seen this fab idea online which involves putting the ingrediants for cookies into jar as a gift, I loved the idea so I thought I would have a go myself! It was all going so well until butter fingers Stacey struck! I dropped my first jar and it smashed into a huge delicious glass covered mess!!! After spending a silly amount of time trying to locate all the chocolate chips ( they fly far ) I was overcome with panic! I had to find another jar which was larger than the first then i had to refil it!!! Well of course I had no actual cookie ingrediants left so. . . I had to make do. My jar contains among other things a whole layer of bi carb!!! But dont panic the chocolate chips are not the ones I picked up from the floor!!! Anyway after all that I had enough time to make a quick wrapper using the polka dot papers from the new CD All Around and Everywhere. I turned it into a corset at the back so the wrapper is easily removed and can be put onto something more edible! I finished it off with a cute round tag from the same CD! Wish me luck for next week guys!!! How I don't fall down more is beyond me!!!

Another quick one!!! These are a few cards that I have put together using the new polka doodles CD!

Just a quick entry today as I am so so busy and I have fimo things to make!!! This is a card that I made for a friend in work! I love the colours! It was simple to make! The glitter letter are K & Co the mirror butterfly I got from work and the papers are Polka Doodles from the new CD!!! The size is DL!!!

This weeks challenge at Polka Doodles was set by Nettie and her challenge was Monochromatic ( I hope thats right ) We had to use one colour but we could use different shade of that colour! Given the lovely weather we have had recently and all the fields I see everyday I have used green! I cut a scallop card using wild card on the cricut at 5 3/4 then chopped it into 2 and folded one side in half, I have then cut anothe slightly smaller from one of the awesome papers from the new CD All around and Everywhere ( its ace ) Next was some flowers from the same CD in shades of green finished off with a sentiment and some cute buttons! As you may have noticed acetate is my friend lately and there are more to come when I can pop them up here, anyway I have added a super cute tiny flower as a dangler with a spotty green brad from my stash! Check out the new CD it launched today on create and craft it is sooooo pretty!!!

I had this tiny card blank left over from a kit that Konrad bought me ages ago but it was so cute I couldn't bring myself to throw it away! So I have used a scrap of DCWV rockstar paper and just cut a 2" skull in 2 different types of gold card! Done!!!

Sometimes I wonder if I am cut out for blogging! I am so behind this week! This is my card that should have been posted friday for the animal magic Polka Doodles challenge! As the title would suggest better late than never!!! It is a simple card using one of the fab backgrounds from the back to nature CD and the super cute sheep!!! I have done a little bit of decoupage to add some dimension, and clever Nikky has even considered the back of our cards when designing this CD so I have put the sheeps bottom on the back for a finishing touch!!! Don't forget to check out Nikky and the amazing new CD on create and craft Friday at 10am!!

It is time for another Polka Doodles challenge! This week has been set by Kerry and it was to create a wedding card using the love and cherish CD!!! Now I know I keep banging on about how fab this CD is but its true I just love it!!! I have decided to use the grey and silver papers as they are so subtle and elegant. The card base is A4 folded plain white card, I have they layered a piece of grey card that I have punched with my MS punch and ontop of that is a grey rose background paper with has also been punched. Using the cut off from my rose paper I have punched the edge then using and acordian fold made a paper flower! To embellish the flower I have cut out 3 butterflies using my tonic studios punch, I have cut 2 in the solid grey and one in a filigree background paper from the CD. To my butterfly I have added some pearls on string and some liquid pearls fabric paint! The sentiment is my first competer generated sentiment, I have used the title of the CD and it has then been printed onto the filigree paper and matted onto the grey card. Finally to finish of the card I have used some pretty ribbon and a diamante buckle! Fab challenge Kerry!!!
