Mad cat lady!

 We have a new challenge starting today at Passion for Markers and Elaine would like you to use your 'Fave Embellishments' on your projects

I have used one of their images on my DT card which really tickled my fancy as I have a friend who is forever adopting stray cats! 

My card:

Image - 'Adoption Day' - Dr Digi

Papers - Sue Wilson's 'Dots 'n' Stripes' 8 x 8 pad

I used a circle stepper card from Katy Sue and dies from Craft Addiction Uk's 'Scallopstacked Circles' die set

Finished off with some of my favourite embellishments - card candi and of course a bow!

I'm just dropping by to remind you that we have a new challenge starting today at Passion for Markers  and Elaine has chosen the theme of 'Anything Masculine' - 

our sponsor is Dr Digi's HOS where you can find lots of fab masculine images and I have used one on my DT card:

Paper from my stash

Finished off with some cute buttons and a vertical Birthday die-cut and glossy accents on his specs which you can actually see in the photo - wonders will never cease! 😊

I saw this card fold on the Hunkydory Facebook page and just had to try it out!

Bob's Balloons

 Well, it's pouring hard here which is very disappointing after the last few days of glorious sunshine, but, on the plus side - it's a perfect day for crafting! and for joining in our latest challenge at Passion for Markers where the theme this time couldn't be easier! - We would like to see projects made for 'Birthdays' 

The lucky DT got to choose an image from our sponsor Dr Digi's HOS to play with and I chose 'Bob's Balloons' as balloons definitely qualify for our theme 

After year's of struggling to make cards for men - I seem to be on a bit of a roll as this is the 3rd masculine card I have made for our challenges lately

Image - 'Bob's Balloons' - Dr Digi coloured with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir Tri-blends

Papers - Phill Martin's 'Premium Inserts' 8x8 pad

I used 'Square Notched Corners' die from Crafts Too for the image and some balloon dies ( not sure from where) for added decoration together with Sue Wilson's 'Stacked Happy Birthday die from her' Mini Expressions' range

Finished off with some enamel dots

Challenges:

'Anything Goes' - A Gem of a challenge (Polkadoodles)

In The Pink

 Morning, it's been wet and windy here recently - a perfect excuse to shut myself away in the craft room! and my latest creation is for the new challenge at Passion for Promarkers - Elaine would like to see projects in your 'Favourite Colour Combo'

My favourite colour is pink with any other colour, but this time I have combined it with white and kraft, using an image from our sponsor - 

Image - 'Octavia The Ostrich' - Dr Digi's HOS

Pink dotty paper - Sue Wilson's 8x8 'Dots N Stripes' paper pad

Die-cuts are from Sue Wilson's 'Looped Ovals' and I used a dotty embossing folder on the smaller one for some added texture

Finished off with a bow, gems and some ostrich feathers (not real of course!)

Challenges:

'ATG/Use a die' - I Love Promarkers

'Feathered Friends' - Creative Inspirations
