New Challenge Blog

There is a new challenge blog in blogland and you can find it here http://thepinkelephantchallenge.blogspot.com/

The first challenge is a colour scheme one, the colours are Pink, Black & White. i love this combo and just had to have a go. I had no card stock in bright pink to match the colour that i used on tilda's dress so i just used the fat end of my magenta pro marker so it matched pefectly, the image was in a lovely wallet full of images i got off alex whom i met in blackpool a few weeks ago. papers are pink petticoat so is the sentiment. thanks for looking

Cupcake Craft Challenge

morning all, this card i made following another fab sketch, first time having a go at this challenge for me. the papers are basic grey, the image is Sarah Kay which I've had for ages and only used once so thought I'd better get her inked up and she is coloured using pro markers. Sentiment again is pink petticoat, buttons and charm are from my stash.

A new challenge blog

It's called Sketch and Stash..... It couldn't be simpler to enter! Every 2 weeks there is a sketch to follow and all you have to do is use your new or never used (or hardly used!) stash on your creation! This is your chance to fall in love with all that stash again or just to show off with your brand new stash!!

I've only just started taking part in all these different challenges and i must say I'm really enjoying myself. I have a week off work this week so I'm planning to take part in a least one a day. My card for the first challenge following the sketch i used my new Lizzie stamp part of the blog candy i won off Heather(thanks again) coloured with my lovely pro markers then i added a border using a small flourish stamp i got from a show, the papers are Pink Petticoat Little swirls, hand written sentiment and circle flower thingy is screwed up paper and inked around the edges and then added a brad. thanks for looking. I'm off to find another challenge.

Hubby's Card at Last

I have struggled to make this one every time i started it, it looked too girlie. Mrs j answered my last post and suggested i used Santa suit Lola i had forgotten all about her, this is what i came up with.

The papers are from Summer Driggs, the image is Lola occasions from pink petticoat coloured with watercolour pencils and pro markers, i cut some nestie shapes and covered them with a versamark ink pad then clear embossing powder, sentiment done on comp. do you think its OK? still a little unsure but gonna give it to him anyway.

I've got my works Christmas night out to night, Hopefully it'll put me in the Christmas mood, I dont know what is wrong with me this year maybe it's because the boys are growing up but i cant get in the mood, my tree is still in the loft. i may put it up over the weekend.

hope you all have a great day

pink petticoat comp entry

Here is my entry to Liz's comp at pink petticoat. The prize is a slice wow I'd love to win this, i made this card using the new mini download little swirls. I think this is my fave paper collection yet it will be useful all year round. I made it using the positive and negative in the same colour, the tree was made by doing some t bag folding which i learnt to do on Monday at a card club i joined, never ever done any before but thought it looked great on this card shape which is also new to me, tree then matted onto nesties. hope you like it and good luck to everyone who entered.

cuttlebug and pink petticoat

a few cards using pinkpetticoat and cuttlebug folders i really like the way the baby cards turned out. they were inspired by the brilliant heartprints site

just made a quicky card. never used this shape before. i spotted these in one of my old mags last night and thought i'd give it a go. i dont think it looks too bad. what do you think? another pink petticoat

maybe one day will pass when i dont use these images(i hope not)
