Fabulous


I made this for the Kraftin Kimmie Challenge - Lots of Dots.
 I've never entered this challenge before, because I never had any Kraftin Kimmie stamps but now I do! Yay! I do love these stamps and definitely need to get a few more!
I used Calla Lily for this card, coloured with promarkers (her dress is done with one of the colours from the new autumn set), used digital paper from Echo Park, made the sentiment on the computer and added glitter, gems and a flower (that used to be a hair clip!)

I can also enter this into the I ♥ ProMarkers challenge - Sparkle

3... is the magic number!


I made this for the Less is More challenge. This week it's a ONE layer card with 3 of something. I've done 3 butterflies and added a sentiment from Pink Petticoat. Butterflies are from a digi kit by Summer Driggs - Spring in your step

Sporty gingham?


I made this card for 2 challenges - 
and

I coloured 'Strong Island' (from Kenny K) with my promarkers, used Pink Petticoat (gingham) for the background and made the sentiment myself on the computer.

This is my 4th post in one day. I shall celebrate by eating some more chocolate...yay!

Pretty in Pink


This one is for the Lili's Little Fairies challenge - Pretty in Pink

I used 'Tea Party' form LOTV for my image, a sentiment from Pink Petticoat and my spotty background is digital papers....from somewhere, I forget! When I finished this card it looked in need of something else, so I added a few flowers and some punched leaves and now I'm happy with it (well sort off, pink is not my favourite colour to be honest!)


Circles


I made this one for the I ♥ Promarkers challenge - Circles
and I can enter it into the monthly competition at The Digi Stamp Boutique too as I used one of their images.

I love it when a card goes exactly to plan and this one did! 
I printed out my image and the sentiment I made onto card, twice. I coloured my first image with promarkers, then cut out the football and the word 'boy' from the second print out and layered them on the coloured image. I used a circle punch to cut out 3 circles don the side of my main image and used different papers (from Pink Petticoat) behind them. I used foam pads to give the whole thing a bit of dimension.

I bought a new camera this month and I love it! I've had such fun playing with it and taking pictures of my cards (and anything else that will stand still long enough!). I'm amazed at the difference between the quality of my old pictures and the ones taken with my new Nikon. Can't wait to take it to Wales with me in August.

update - I won at  I ♥ Promarkers challenge with this card! Yay!


Sunshine


I made this for the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge which is to follow this sketch - 


I do love their stamps, especially the sentiments. I made this with their digital stamps from the website, and used Echo Park papers.
