Dutch Dare Challenge 46

Why are mens and boys cards so difficult!!! My son Kieran turns 16 on Thursday, where have those years gone, they have flashed by. I am hoping he will grow out of the "Kevin" stage he started the night before he turned 13 in the next year or so. This is the card I made for him, Blue spotty paper is from Dovecraft, image is from the George and Dottie collection at Charmed Cards and Crafts http://www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/ coloured in with my Prismas, the blue buttons are from the blue embellishment pack in this months Docrafts goody bag. Ribbon is from Hobbycraft and gems are from my stash. I have followed this weeks sketch from Dutch Dare Card Challenges http://dutchdare-cardchallenges.blogspot.com/ so am entering it into the challenge. Thanks for looking x

Lili of the valley Challenge 26

This is the another of the cards I made today, its for my Godson Ryan who is 13. I followed this weeks Lili of the valley's sketch challenge http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.com/ so am entering this card for the challenge. The image is a digital download from The Dottie and George Collection at Charmed Cards and Crafts http://www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/ coloured in with my Prismas, I have just doodled around the edges of the scalloped square cut with my nesties, I am no good at Doodling!!! the dotty backing paper is from Trimcraft, I used a Cuttlebug folder on the backing blue card, letters have been cut with my new Quickutz alphabet that came with my new Squeeze tool which I bought on Saturday. Gems and peel offs from my stash. Thanks for looking x

Creative Inspirations challenge 6

I actually had some time to make a few cards today so here they are. This is my entry for challenge 6 at Creative Inpirations http://cinspirations.blogspot.com/ The image has been coloured in with my Prismas, I have ordered some promarkers to see what the fuss is all about but they haven't arrived yet but it will be good to have a play with them when they arrive. The backing paper is from Crafts Too. Sentiment is a stamp from Cuddly Buddly, I have used Papermania brads and flowers from this months Docrafts goody bag and large flower on right hand side is a cuttlebug die and cuttlebug fancy corner die also used on left hand side of image. I think these colours went really well together.
Thanks for looking Julie x

Hooray My new Nestabilities have arrived

Hooray, 3 out of the 4 new nestabilities sets I ordered have arrived today, can't wait to try them out, I'm still waiting for the Peony one to arrive but I was told they should have them in by end of April so hopefully any day soon, I think out of all my crafting stuff my nesties are my absolute favourite. I have also been very naughty and ordered a couple of sets of Promarkers as so many people seem to rave about them, I couldn't make my mind up between Cpics and Promarkers but thought the only way I can decide is to at least try some out. Any advice would be appreciated if anyone can give me tips on the best way to use them. Thanks Julie x
