At Last A Card .......

It does seem like ages since I made a card for some challenge's, I have been busy finishing a couple of DT creations but not a lot else???  I think I just lost my mojo for a little while, but I have not lost the ability to shop, I have bought a few gorgeous new stamps that are waiting patiently to inked!!!

This is my new Greeting Farm stamp, meet "Ruby" she is just soooo cute!! I love the expressions that are captured in these stamps.

I have made this card for the following challenges;

Anyone for Anya, "heart 4 heart's sake".

The Pink Elephant challenge 51 "polka dots, a bow and pink".

Fussy and Fancy Challenge 3, "hearts".

Papertake Weekly sketch 33,  I have used the nice and simple sketch, my favourite kind. 

Saturday Callenge 67, Donna's colour challenge

                                                                                 

                                           

I have couloured Ruby with promarkers, stickles stardust, glossy accents, DCWV c/s, BG Eva, MS heart punch, ribbon, flat backed pearls, nesties, swiss dots embossing folder.   I have used a scrap of card under the punched heart and used glossy accents between the latice.

At lat I have got this posted I have struggled all afrternoon to try and get my computer to pick up the SD card so I could up-load my pictures from the camera????  Arrrgh!!!  I will be back later with my card for the new challenge at Just Bears.  Thanks for stopping by I love to know what you think about my cards, so please leave a comment then I can return your visit.

A New Baby Boy Card ......

I have made this card for the following challenges;

Cupcake Challenges 72 "a baby card".

Stampin for the Weekend "new beginings".

Papertake Weekly "new Beginings"

Crazy 4 Challenges, "Polka Dot Fun"

The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge, "new beginings"

By the Cute and Girly, something "new"

Fussy and Fancy Fridays challenge,  something "new"

I have used the gorgeous "vintage baby" stamp from Sugar Nellie, coloured with promarkers, copic spica glitter pens, nesties, MME wild asparagus papers, DCWV c/s, ribbon, gems.

I thought I would post a picture of the snowy trees at the back of our garden, they do look lovely but getting to school was hard work today!!  I have had to put Philip into his 3 wheel pushchair and it just about managed to get through the snow but it was very slippy as there is ice under the fresh snow, if we get much more I think we will have to stay home.  I dont like driving in the snow, but as my car has been in the garage for 2 weeks, I just need it back to get around!!

We dont seem to have a problem with salt here, so I guess that is lucky, we have had days when no roads have been gritted, but again today they have gritted my road as both ways in and out are a long hill, they had filled the salt bin on the corner too, so I went out to get a little just to keep things clear for carrying Philip in and out, last week there wasn't a grain left but it was interesting to see how many had lovely clean drives while the road is packed with ice!!!  If that wasn't enough I saw a man pull up in his car in the lane at the school and get out a "large" bag and spade and fill his bag to take home!!  There are 2 schools and nursing home using the lane!!

Hope the snow is not too bad where you are, take care,

I have coloured the very pretty Willow with Hot Chocolate stamp from Whiff of Joy stamps with promarkers, using the brown & turquiose colours from the Secret Crafter Challenge. I used my nesties for the circles for the ABC challenge ( I changed the rectangle from the sketch to a circle as I thought it suited my stamped image better). I did cheat a little with my torn edges and used my fiskars fancy edged ruler, I just can't help being neat!! I used lots of small gems for my "bling" for the Whiff of Joy challenge. Papers are BG Pheobe & Archaic.

Going to try and get another card made ready for tomorrow, I coloured a few images last night so they are ready to put together, I just need to find the papers to match, I usually colour my images then choose papers, It works for me most of the time!!
