Let it Snow

This weeks CMLI challenge was set by Karen and the theme was 'let it snow'.  Well it hasn't snowed this weekend but it sure feels like winter- sooo much rain and wind here and cold with it.  When is summer, or spring to think of it, going to come??? I hope it improves as we enter May next week.

I will enter this card into this weeks Pollycraft (sketch), ABC Christmas (H is for hardware- metal label holder round the sentiment), Di's digidownloads (animals), Cute Card Thursday (animals) and Passion for Promarkers (die cuts- snowflakes and the shape behind the image) challenges.

With Thanks

Thought I'd challenge myself this weekend to use some papers which haven't seen the light of day for a long time.  I didn't get very far I guess- only made this one card, but there is always next weekend.  Anyone else do that- keep buying more stash without realising that you already have loads???  Can you ever have too much I wonder?

This is a super cute Lucy image from Digistamp Boutique and I have followed the sketch from this weeks WSC challenge.

Cupcake anyone?

I've not used this stamp much, but thought I'd get him out this weekend.  Coloured in blue instead of a more conventional green for a dragon- does it work??

Anyway, I will enter this card into this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch), CES (cupcakes or candy) and Passion for Promarkers (die-cuts- the star and the circle behind it are die-cut) challenges.

Another Wedding Card!

I wasn't expecting to make another wedding card so soon after the last, but someone from a neighbouring office at work (who I don't see that often) told everyone last Thursday that she is getting married next Saturday.  I expect that tomorrow people in my office will ask 'Louise do you have a card for *'s wedding?' and so I pre-empted the question and made one.  The photo isn't the best- the light today is terrible with the rain!

I have used Cherry Kisses wedding from Pollycraft and followed the sketch from this weeks Pollycraft challenge.

A spot of gardening

I have just fallen in love with some of the new Digistamp Boutique designs and the cards that the DT gave made with them.  Here's my first attempt with the 'In the garden-veggies' set.  I will also enter the card into this weeks MAWTT (in the garden) and WSC (things outdoors) challenges.

Lucy and reindeer

This weeks ABC Christmas challenge is 'H is for Hardware'.  This means add something metal to your card. I remembered I bought a box of little bells last year that I hardly used and so got one of them out to add to this card.  The image is one of the Christmas Lucy collection from DigiStamp Boutique and I have decoupaged the little reindeer.  I will also enter this card into this weeks Di's Digi challenge (animals), Cute Card Thursday (metallic) and Willow Sketchie (sketch) challenges).

April Showers

Well in the Uk we have certainly had a lot of April showers this year, haven't we?!  I think there are more due this week too.  This is a Pollycraft image that I bought yesterday after having admired it for ages on the DT cards.

I will enter the card into this weeks Digi Doodle Shops Best (April showers), Willow Sketchie (3 brads), Cute Card Thursday (metallic- brads) and CES (button it) challenges.

Marley and flower

Yesterday, Lauren set the CMLI sketchie and the theme was 'just because'.  Paula from Pollycraft also released 12 new digis yesterday and there is currently a special offer on all Pollycraft images on.  I made good use of the special offer and went and got this super image.

I will enter the card into this weeks Pollycraft (cute critters), Di's digidownloads (animals) and CES (button it) challenges.

Cute Critters

This weeks Pollycraft challenge is the theme cute critters.  I had this Chester image that I hadn't yet used that I printed out and was waiting for me.  I will also enter the card into this weeks Cute Card Thursday challenge (metal elements- paper clip).

Cute dino

Not sure why but I have had this image for ages and not used it.  I saw it at the weekend while I was going through my digis deciding on what to print off and use.  I was intending to make a really bright card with a bright green dino but it ended up blue/purple!

I will enter the card into this weeks Willow Sketchie (spots and stripes) challenge and this months Digistamp Boutique monthly customer competition.
