A Card for the 1st Challenge over on Aurora Wings Blogspot.

Good Afternoon Crafters, I do hope you are not experiencing the horrible funny weather Im having at the moment, one minute the sun is out and the next its raining, anyway to bring a bit of permanent sunshine to your lives I have used this gorgeous image from Aurora Wings and created a card for their very first Challenge "Anything Goes".
I have printed "Fairy Orchids Luna Moth Fairy" and you will find her here, you will find some gorgeous images and they are quite tricky to colour them but rewarding when you have finished.
After colouring her with my copic pens then cut it out with my rotatrim and mounted it onto a piece of lime green card. The base card is a 7"x 7" white card and the papers are from Nitwits brand new digi paper set "Daffodil Joy" and I have used two papers, the first a white background with a yellow trailing rose pattern on it, and the second a yellow patterned background on which I have used a Tonic border punch down both sides and a yellow organza ribbon down the middle.
I have then placed my mounted image in the center and in the two opposite corners I have placed six green pearls.

A Card for Sundays with Santa Facebook Challenge - "Non Traditional Colours"

Good Morning fellow Crafters, well its not raining at the moment but the clouds are on their way back so I guess we shall have some presently. My hubby and I are feeling rather tired this morning as our dog Missy was up every 2 hours with a tummy problems (I wont go into details) and needed to go outside, poor little girl she really did look sorry for herself this morning. She unfortunately does have a sensitive stomach and it causes no end of problems and this is probably a bug shes picked up with her sniffing in places she shouldnt. Ive rung the Vet (even on a Sunday) and shes suggested just giving her a Kaolin paste and no food so keep your fingers crossed it works as we certainly need a good night sleep tonight.
Todays card has been created with the Knitted Heart image from Funky Kits and as the Challenge is all about non traditional colours for a Christmas card I had to put my thinking cap on and this is what I came up with, I coloured her with my copics then cut her out with the new Labels 34 from Nestabilities and I have used a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment was stamped onto a banner and cut out and another for the mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of purple card and the papers are from Nitwits "Snow Princess" digi paper set, the first a purple paper with white stars on and the second is a floral one which I have cut a strip and I have used a snowflake border punch from Martha Stewart. The third a green strip one.
I then placed my mounted image in the center and stuck three different sized pearls down the side in the two alternative corners and the sentiment across the bottom.

Happy New Year to All

Good Morning All, and a Very Happy New Year to you I hope your Christmas was wonderful, ours was very quiet as both of us were suffering with a chest infection and didnt think it would be fair to pass it on to any of the family, though it was one of them that past it onto us. Anyway Missy enjoyed opening her present and we both had a few between us to open and Ive a feeling she thought she should have opened them to.
I made this card just before the New Year and posted it on the Facebook Sundays with Santa Challenge page, its a page were each week some of us start to collect our cards for Christmas and its a good way of getting ahead of all those that we need these days. This is a Funky Kits image and I have printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens, I then cut her out with the new Tonic layering dies, and after I had cut her out I used glitter on her wings and some of the other things like the bobbles on her coat and the want.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first layer of blue card, the papers are from Nitwits "A Merry Christmouse" and as theres a mouse in the image I thought it was quite appropriate for this card. I have used four papers and layered them as shown. The mounted image was then placed towards the left, and the sentiment which is from my stash and cut out with one of the labels Nestabilitie Dies down in the right hand corner.
To finish of I have punched out some snowflakes with my Martha Stewart punches and then glittered them with German Glass glitter and latered them up and then placed them three at the top on the right and one at the bottom on the left.

Never mind thank goodness its a dry day, its also the 48th anniversary of my baby sons death, although it get easier as the years go by, it doesnt stop you thinking or remembering what happened on that date, and I also wonder how well he would have grown up especially as my future may have taken a different turn, oh well you just have to accept what youve got.
Todays card has been created for this weeks challenge over on Facebook its Sundays with Santa's "Christmas Birthday Card" although I dont actually have any girls whose birthday is at Xmas I do have several boy ones, not to worry perhaps I can pass it onto someone who does. Ive used this gorgeous image from Sugar Nellie and coloured it with my copic pens, then Ive used Nestabilitie Die No.1 to cut it out and a larger die for the mount. The sentiment was one I created on my computer and printed it and mounted it also onto some red card.

I then cut out the reindeer in the left hand bottom corner and stuck it down there, the mounted image was then positioned in the centre with the sentiment along the top for a change as it wouldnt fit at the bottom.

Sundays with Santa "Holly"

Good Afternoon Everyone, well its gorgeous outside and quite mild, I will have to take her ladyship out for a walk presently as she always starts to get fidgety about 1.30pm, as hubby normally takes her but as hes volunteering today its my turn to take her. She loves her walk and weve also started letting her of the lead to run around, and she loves that but Id better but my wellies on as the field is still rather wet and muddy and I dont want to come back with all the mud on my shoes as hubby did this morning.
Anyway todays card has been created for this weeks "Sundays with Santa" challenge over on Facebook, this week its themed "Holly" and I didnt bother looking for an image with holly on I thought as Id printed his gorgeous Paper Shelter one Id use this one instead. I coloured her with my copic and tria pens then used a circle Nestabilie Die to cut her out, and used the picot edged circle die for the mount. The sentiment is a Just Rite stamp thats been cut with a small circle die, Ive coloured the holly also before mounting it on a larger circle mount.

Sundays with Santa "Food"

Good Morning Everyone, well here we are at yet another Sunday, I dont know about you the days go so quickly when your crafting you forget the time and before you know its time to go to bed again. Anyway before I start telling you about my card I have some good news our dog Missy actually ate something this morning, weve had a problem with her over the last few days shes experiencing a phantom pregnancy and hasnt been eating its been so worrying and scarey that we took her to the vets yesterday morning, he didnt give her any medication and just suggested that she would eventually start to eat of her own accord, the problem with that is shes not the best eater at the best of times so its a real struggle to get to eat anyway and to have this extra worry has really been so upsetting, but at least today she ate a few of her dried food nuts and licked the top of a yougart pot so Im hoping that she will enjoy a bit of meat at lunch time when we  have our roast, keep your fingers crossed for me.
And now back to my card this weeks challenge was to find a image of food for a Christmas card, I dont know about you but it was a problem anyway I found this gorgeous housemouse image and stamped and coloured it with my copic pens, then used a rectangle die to cut it out, then cut a mount with my rotatrim for it. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card and one of three papers from the Nitwits "Comfort and Joy" digi papers, the second paper has been cut into a strip and punched along the edge with my holly punch, the third paper a stripe one has been mounted on yet another piece of the same red card and stuck to the left side of the card and then across the middle I have wrapped a red holly ribbon and attached it to the back of the first mount.
I positioned my mounted image in the centre with the sentiment at the bottom on the right, and that it, Ive decided this year not to make my Christmas cards to big as the postage of them is astronomigal and thats why Ive not put any flowers on it.

I do apologise for not posting many cards at the moment but Ive been taking a bit of a break, I have done my DT cards but nothing to post on my blogs, actually this card was made a couple of weeks ago for the Santa for Sunday Challenge over on Facebook, and do you know Ive just noticed the sentiment is on the card upside down, how daft is that? dont answer, I think I must have been having a serious senior moment.

The challenge was for a Gingerbread man, and as I dont actually have an image or a stamp I used this digi set from Nitwits for my card, and the sentiment was a Just-Rite one, but I must have put the little chap in the stamp upside down and didnt realise till just now that I had, so so sorry about that.

The papers are quite gorgeous as you can see, its a 6"x 6" card with three of the papers from that Gingerbread set, even the image is as well, and this was printed onto white card then cut out with my oval Nestabilitie die, and I used the scalloped one for the mount.

I shant be around on this blog for a couple of days as tomorrow Ive got the Paper Shelter Challenge to deal with on my No.1 blog and we are of to the NEC on Thursday hopefully lets hope my back/hip quietens down by then, I did it on Saturday when I decided to do the mowing of my grass, oh well such is life and old age.
