Breast Cancer Fighter

Good morning to you all blog friends. 

Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Diva's by Design. We are being sponsored by Kenny K and we would like you to use pink on your project. Please pop on over and have a look at our DT's work and we will hopefully see you joining in. 

I have used the fabulous Breast Cancer Fighter. 

The papers are all downloads from Pink Petticoat. I love these papers and at the moment they have an offer on many of their papers and digi's. Well worth a visit.

I coloured the image with Copics. The leafy die is from Cheery Lynn called Fanciful Flourish.

The sentiment tags are from LOTV and the ribbons, gems and flowers are from my own stash.

I am entering this card into the following challenges

Afternoon blog friends.

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.

I am feeling really chuffed at the moment. I have been asked by Dream Valley Challenges to be part of their team. And...watch this space for another team I have been asked to join. Gosh I am going to be a busy girl. Little did I know when I started blogging just a few months ago that it was going to be such an important part of my life. So to all the friends who have joined me along the way and the wonderful people from the challenge blogs, I want to say a huge thank you. 

The card I have today is Mo Mannings Talk to the Bear. 

Isn't she so darn cute. And look at the expression on the teddy's face - he does not look a happy chappy!!!

The papers are some I downloaded and love these colours - sure makes a change from pink!!!

Deckchair Dreaming

Evening lovely bloggers.

Nice weather for ducks!!! On a plus side it's too wet for outdoor pursuits which means more time for crafting and that's never a bad thing.

As I mentioned on an earlier post, I was lucky enough to win a paper stash on Bev Rochesters blog and to show how much I appreciate this I have done a card using some of the papers. 

A colleague of mine is retiring tomorrow and I have made a card to mark the occasion. You can always relay on LOTV on having a stamp suitable for any occasion and they didn't disappoint with this one. I have used :-

Deckchair Dreaming

The card blank is from Craftwork Cards. The butterfly  and the clouds are Memory Box dies which I purchased from Oyster Stamps. The leafy flourish is from Cheery Lynn called Fanciful Flourish. It is available in three sizes and I think that this die is the mega Fanciful flourish. 

The flowers are from WOC and the sentiment is computer generated. I have Spellbinder dies to mat and layer the image which are available from many craft stores. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog whether you choose to just have a browse, make a comment  or hopefully follow me so that I can then view your wonderful blogs. The comments I have had so far have blown me away and I am so grateful.

Take care.

I am entering this card in the following challenges.

Simply Create Too - Card for a male

My Mum's Craft Shop challenges - About the Boy's

Tiptoe Fairy

Evening friends.

Hope you have all had a good week with lots of crafting!!! I unfortunately had to miss a day of crafting on Saturday because hubby and I went to a local pub to see the band - Brotherhood and didn't get to bed till 3.30am. I recommend you see them if you get the chance, they were superb. 

As I said the downside was that I didn't get any crafting done because I was soooo tired and I so hate that. All the images I could have been colouring. 

Below is another image from LOTV - Fairy on tiptoes. The papers are from Nitwit collections and the sentiment and metal corner embellishment are also from LOTV. I love these metal embellishments. I fancy embossing them with white embossing powder - may try that tomorrow.

I have used my favourite swirly leafy die from Cheery Lynn called fanciful flourish. The die resting on the image is Spring Border by Memory Box. I have coloured the image using Copic markers. The flower punch I have had for quite a while and I'm afraid I cannot remember the make.

I have used Diamond Sparkles on the fairy's wings, flowers and the sentiment. 

It is not difficult to see that I love LOTV stamps so please please please Mr postman bring me my new LOTV stamps tomorrow which I ordered last week. Dependant on Mr Postman tomorrow's card will be LOTV or Saturated Canary - watch this space!!!

Night to all my lovely blogger friends.
