Sailor Bear

This card is for a friends Dad, who's birthday is next month, but since I'm going to see her in a week, I thought I'd take it with me now and save myself the postage (and remembering it!) later, lol!

I used an image from KaDoodleBug Designs, coloured with my ProMarkers and a computer generated sentiment. The papers are from Jen Hadfield's Pebbles pack, layered on grey card from the papermill. The Anchor border and the rope frame were cut on my cameo and I finished with a few little grey pearls, because we know I can't resist.

Snappy Birthday

I used a Pollycraft image for this card, coloured with my trusty promarkers. The orange paper is from Pebbles love you more pack and I used my cameo to cut the 'stitched' rectangles and the film strip, finishing with a couple of little gems because well I'm me and I never met a gem I didn't like, lol!

Three cards in one day, almost unheard of, lol!

I used a pollycraft image for this card, coloured with my promarkers. The sentiment is computer generated.

The papers are from papermania, layered on a black card base. The music note and chevron banner was cut on my cameo. And I added a few little black gems, because gems!

Happy Birthday To Moo

I do love a good (or bad!) pun! Actually I may like bad ones better! lol!

I used images from Digi Doodle Shop, coloured with my promarkers, cut the card base and gingham paper (from papermania) on my cameo and cut the computer generated sentiment on there too. And of course gems, because gems are important! All in all, only 20 mins including the colouring, that may be a record for me!

Basketball Star

So one of the challenges this week, was to make something based of your favourite sport - well, let me tell you, I do not sport, lol! I don't watch or play any sort of sport as an adult - unless coffee drinking counts. But when I was growing up and in high school, I loved netball and basketball. Because netball is more of a 'girl sport' we played that more often, but I prefered basketball, mostly because I was better at it! So I figured that would count even if it's been at least 10 years since I played, lol!

I used the adorable Slam Dunk Barclay from Pollycraft and coloured him with my promarkers. The papers are all from the Papermania Happy Days pack, layered on light red card from papermill. I cut the sentiment, stars and circles on my cameo and added a few gems - naturally! - to finish it off.

Have A Heroic Birthday

So in a confession that will shock exactly no-one who knows me, I'm like a major geek. And the moment I saw this stamp I knew I had to have it. It's just a pity I don't know more people who would appreciate it, because Superheroes are awesome and Captain America is my favourite and yeah, I'm a geek, I don't even hide it (I really don't, in a twist of irony, I am even wearing a Captain America t-shirt today, although I didn't think about that when I started making this card, lol!)

I used of course, Captain Colin, from Digital Delights, coloured with my promarkers. The sentiment is computer generated and the little shield inside was found through google images but it linked to pinterest and I could not find a source!

I used papers from The Paper Stack Magazine, Volume 4, layered on red and blue card, on a blue card base. My cameo of course cut the stars and borders for the image/sentiment and yes, gems, because, gems are awesome.

Flying Roxter, Birthday Card

Look a card, yay! I spent yesterday afternoon in my craft room and (all being well!) plan to spend most of the weekend in there too! So there should be more soon!

This card uses Flying Roxter, from Digital Delights, coloured with my promarkers. The papers are from Pebbles Inc, Love You More/Boy Pack, layered on chocolate brown card. Cut the clouds - including the computer generated sentiment - on my silhouette and added a few little gems to finish.

It's been so long since I've submitted to any challenges, hopefully I still remember how this goes!

I got to play with the brilliant, Farm Boy Petey, the Down on the Farm Accesssories! And a sentiment from the Down on the Farm, Sentiments set!

Ewe Rock!

Oh the trouble I had with this card, I started it yesterday and ended up finishing it this morning because I was slowly losing my mind, as it wasn't doing what I wanted it too! (nothing new there, I know, lol!)

I cut a black cardbase, grabbed my washi tape, from stampin' up and created a herringbone pattern, layering that on red card.

The image and sentiment are from bugaboo, cut out and coloured with my promarkers. I added a little more washi tape to the sentiment banner, finally embellishing with just a few punched stars and gems.

Have a Heroic Birthday

A mans card today - although my inner geek!girl really thinks there is no reason I can't send it too any of my similarly geek!girl friends, lol! - with a cute little image from Digital Delights, coloured with my promarkers.

The paper is from papermania, the sentiment is computer generated and of course, I couldn't resist adding a few gems *g*

Happy Birthday, Cousin

I've gone red, black and white, for this card for my cousin's 40th birthday, later this year. He's a football fan, Manchester United of course, so hopefully he'll like this!

I used an image from pollycraft, coloured with my trusty promarkers and paper from papermania, layered on black card.

The sentiment is computer generated and I printed some football patterned paper and cut them with my dies, the 40 is computer generated cut with dies too.

I finished it off with just a few little gems, because we know I can't resist gems.

Another male card, twice in one day, that's almost unheard of, lol. This time I've gone with a Bugaboo stamps image and sentiment, coloured agian with my promarkers. The papers are from Authentique's Curiosity collection, layered on navy blue card. I kept the embellishments to a minimum with just a few gems.

Red Truck

A male birthday card today, inspired by listening to too much country music (is that even possible) especially Aaron Tipping 'There Ain't Nothin' Wrong With the Radio'

All in red, I used papers from papermania, layered on kraft card and coloured the image from Digi Darla, in reds, with my promarkers. I used a sentimetnt from crafters companion and added a few punched stars and some gems to finish.

Have A Dawg-Gawn Great Day

Another quick card this afternoon.

The dog image is a freebie digi from The Alley Way stamps, coloured with promarkers (sandstone, caramel and slate) the sentiment I wrote and printed myself.

I mounted the three images on black card, added a twine bow and a couple of small gems, before mounting the panel on dimensional stickers, on a kraft card base.
