This one took me ages....

A flying visit from me today....I have to say although I like this stamp, it took me ages to colour and I wasn't really sure what to do with her hair. Originally I set out to make a card to fit the challenge on the sugar Nellie Facebook page with spring like papers and colours however it went completely up in the air...so the stamp is Entangled from Sugar Nellie which I stamped onto kraft and coloured with polychromos. The papers are MME - Lost and found which are really lovely and layered onto kraft and bazzill card which I distressed. I added some raffia, ribbon and button twine to which I attached a flower and button, the flowers have been cut with my favourite die...MFT flower trio die and I used felt and kraft to do that and then added pearls to the centres. The message is from Personal Impressions. It's a bit different but hope you likey...

Well here is the next one and there may even be another card today depending on how much housework I decide to do!! I thought I would make a wee Halloween card...I just love Halloween and all the bits and bobs that come with it!! so when the lovely Abi sent me a little surprise package the other day....well of course I had to use them!! The papers are from MME - Boo to You, the tree and massage is from the set Creepy - Personal Impressions, I layered the papers onto kraft card, added a picket fence which I cut with a TH sizzix die, I tied a piece of twine around the card and added a pumpkin charm...hope you like.

Paper Sundaes DT card

Hello all you Sundae bloggers and once again my scheduled post however I am on holiday for 5 days after today....woo hoo...guess what I'' be doing when I'm off?? That's right...lots of cards. todays challenge over at Paper sundaes is "masculine3 colours"...now it doesn't have to be a masculine card but as long it has masculine colours.

Our sponsor is once again Simon Says Stamp who is offering a $15 gift certificate to somebody picked at random.

For my card I have used Basic Grey - archaic papers which have been in my stash for ages and I think are perfect colours for a man. The image is Edwin on his bike which I coloured with promarkers...I am not totally happy with the colouring but I think it looks alright against this paper. I have entered the following:
