Panda Hat!

Ok, I've been at the wool again... This time I made an panda hat.  It's not really the right time of year for wearing hats (although it is meant to get cold with morning frost at the end of the week and into the weekend), but I'm still taken with my animal hat book.  This one I might keep for myself to wear next winter.

 

Thanks

A thankyou card this time using a Pollycraft image.  I will enter the card into this weeks Retro Sketches (sketch) and Little Miss Muffet (anything goes) challenges.

 

Magical Christmas

This is the first time that I have used this Pollycraft image and I am quite pleased with the way it has turned out.  I will enter the card into this weeks Little Miss Muffet (anything goes) and Sketch Saturday (sketch) challenges.

 

I spy with my little eye...

... something beginning with 'E'.  Yes, Lauren and Debs got it right the other day and I had made a crocheted elephant.  The stuffing arrived this morning and so he looks a lot happier now:

Admiring the view out of my bedroom window!

Back view (thought you might like to see his tail ;-))

The pattern is one that someone gave to me from a Womens Weekly magazine.  I used a 3mm hook and DK wool.  He turned out better than I thought.

A little birdie...

... in green! I love the idea of colouring these images in different colours (inspired by the DigiStamp Boutique DT).  I will enter this card into this weeks Mojo Monday (sketch) and Cute Card Thursday (green and blue) challenges.

 

Number One

I really like this Pollycraft image that was released last summer.  It just had to be printed and used again.  I will enter the card into this weeks I love Promarkers (hats), Little Miss Muffet (anything goes) and Passion for Promarkers (sketch) challenges.

 

Chick Wedding...

... or should it be chic wedding?  This is a card I made today for my cousin who gets married this summer.  I loved the way the DT from DigiStamp Boutique have been using this set of birdie images so much that I just had to get them.  I would have only coloured them yellow had I not had their inspiration (more cards to come!).

I will enter this card into this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch) challenge. 

Sail Away

I made most of this card on Monday but only got round to finishing it today.  It follows this weeks Mojo Monday sketch.  I decided to got for background stamping rather than backing papers for a change.

I will enter the card into this weeks I love Promarkers challenge (hats). 

A card for Dad

I think it might be a bit early for making Father's Day cards, but DigiStamp Boutique released their Father's Day images this month.  Also, with things changing in my life in the next few weeks, best to get all the essential cards done now...  Anyway, I think this image is perfect for Dad who loves his sheds.  It was a dream to colour too.  (BTW.  My PMs are starting to run out- lots of colours all at one go.  Got to make a decision I guess, on whether to replace or buy something else.  Any advice??)

I will enter the card into this weeks I love Promarkers (hats) and Retro Sketches (sketch) challenges.

A quickie

Amazingly, I was inspired to make a CAS card today using this weeks Stamplorations sketch (normally it is like pulling teeth to get myself to do CAS).  What do you think?  I just couldn't not add some colour to it.
