Getting punchy!

but no violence, promise!!

Hello blogworld,

Well there you go it's been a few days again hasn't it since I waffled on at you!  I have been busy, no really I have, making DT cards, which will appear over the next week but I've also got a niggle of a cold that is throwing me off kilter.

Still I'll sniff, cough and carry on!  Before I get onto business though, I will say hello to my newest follower - thank you for deciding to join me on my bloggy waffles and occasional cards!  Hope you enjoy!!

Can you believe it's my time already for a second DT card for Moving Along with The Times and this week's  theme is 'Punch it Out' - so we'd like to see your punches or dies used on your project.

We are sponsored this week by MazyArt with a prize of 5 digi images of your choice:

The DT were very kindly allowed to pick an image of their choice and this is the card I made with my selection:

Dies / Punches:

So I hope you like, and I look forward to seeing your entries.  I'm sure there will be loads - there's lots of us that like our dies and punches, aren't there!!

See you soon,

Sarah

Oooh I've tried soooo hard!

do you think it's worth it????

Hello blogworld,

Ribbons anyone?  I'm sure you probably know it's Saturday but did you know it's time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin?  This week we'd like to see your ribbon/s on your card - along with the stamping, of course!

Our weekly sponsor, offering a fab prize is:

Our monthly sponsor, with a £10 voucher:

Now I had meant to go to town on the ribbons but I spent soooo long stamping / masking / positioning  then sooooo long colouring that I almost forgot about the ribbon - so there's just the one!

I'd also so ran out of puff that I just left it fairly plain.  Just hope all that effort was worth it!!

Front shot:

The arty farty:

I used:

Stamps (a lot!) (all C C Designs)

Swiss Pixies: Butterfly Fence
Swiss Miss - Rosalie
Sugarplums - Tulip Trevor

Papers:

My Mind's Eye - miss caroline

Dies:

Wot no!

Anything else?

Gems and ribbon from my stuff

Craftwork Cards - sentiment

I think the next card I make will be a tad easier!!!

See you soon,

Sarah

A challenge, or two:

Cupcake Craft Challenges: 226 - Make a Scene

Sketch n Stash: Challenge 105 - I hope this one is OK - I slightly moved / combined the sentiment with the circle on the sketch.  My stash are the stamps - well over 2 years old!!

Crafty Ribbons Challenge: Love/Romance/Anniversay

I love Promarkers: Challenge #152 - Anything Goes (2nd entry)

Inky Chicks: Challenge #2 - Becky's Bingo Grid (I picked Ribbon, Image, Pearls)

Fairytales!

Hello blogworld

Firstly I wanted to say thank you for all the lovely comments you left on my snowy pictures!  I'm glad to know that I'm not entirely biased and other people think Emily is a bit on the cute side ;-)

Also yes we do have a bit of a large garden - all told our land runs to 3/4 of an acre, large garden for non-gardeners, eh!!

And so onto business - it feels like it's been ages since I did a Divas by Design DT card, but here I am with my card for the new challenge.  Which explains the post title - the challenge theme this week is 'Fairytales', now all say ahhhh!  Who doesn't like imagining that life as a fairytale princess would be lovely - and there  doesn't even have to be pink at all either on the image or card - take mine, not an ounce of pink in sight!!

Our sponsor this week is:

with a fab prize on offer for one lucky person.

So onto my card:

Stamp:

Papers:

First Edition - Love Letters

Anything else?

Gems, ribbon and heart from my stuff

Glamour Dust for crown and wings

Craftwork Cards - sentiment

Boy I sweated over this colouring, really, really tried hard with all the folds on her dress, I'm not sure it worked but on the whole I think I'm improving!

I'm really looking forward to this challenge seeing all variations there can be on the theme - my Teamies cards aren't half bad either!!!

Cheerio
