Include a Number

Hi crafters,
Well it's been another busy couple of weeks.  We've taken our youngest son back to Lincoln to start his second year of Uni and we've been down to Oxford for my eldest son's graduation.  We had such a lovely day and it really was a day to remember!

I'm back into my crafting to take my mind off the fact that both my boys are away from home!  There's a great new challenge at Passion for Promarkers and this week, our lovely Lorraine C has given us a theme of 'Include a number'.  We are kindly sponsored by Cowling and Wilcox and there will be 2 lucky winners this week.  1 will win a pack of 6 promarkrs in Neutral Tones and 1 winner will win a pack of 6 promarkers in Vibrant Tones.

 

I've made a 1st Birthday card for a friend's daughter this week and used an old Digistamp Boutique image,

I decided to go with a white and yellow colour scheme and found the perfect dotty paper for the background.  I embossed some white card for one of the layers and added some punched flowers and swirls.  I added a bit of glitter to the image and die cut the number one,  A bit of ribbon and some pearls for the flower centres finished off the card.
 So why not join in with this week's challenge,  You can an enter using any type of creation but as always to be eligible for the prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products
I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations!
Hugs, Karen xx

Fave Colour Combo

Hi crafters,
Well the time came at the weekend for my youngest son to return to Uni for his second year and I was very brave!!  The house is very quiet now that both my boys are away.  Ah well, more room for my crafty stash, hee hee!!
It's also time for a brand new challenge at Passion for Promarkers and this week, our lovely Linda would like your creations to have your fave colour combo - nice and easy!
We are kindly sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digi images from their online store - a fantastic prize!

We were lucky enough to have one of their images to use on our cards this week and I chose this gorgeous digi called -Alice the Alpaca'.

I chose my fave colour combo of pink and green for my card.  I just used a bit of Tea Green promarker for my Alpaca to match my papers and added a bit of glitter here and there!  Aren't all alpacas this colour?!!!
I added a grass diecut as well as a pearly border to the bottom of the card and a bit of ribbon and heart diecut on the top.  The sentiment stamp was a magazine freebie and the enamel dots just finished it off.
So why not join in with this fab challenge and be in with a chance of winning a great prize.  Just remember to use your Winsor and Newton products on your creation and I look forward to visiting your blogs.
Hugs,
Karen xx
