Pollycraft Challenge A sketch by Marit

Good Morning all!!

I have a confession to make...

I TOTALLY forgot to post my card for the new Pollycraft Challenge !!! (blush)

here it is... better late than never!

The fabulous Marit has created a sketch for us....

now I Love you Marit... but really... what were you thinking?!?!?

I have to say... this one threw me... while I can appreciate its an amazing sketch... I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I was going to do with it!!

There are only so many image combinations that would work... and as the rest of the girls were showing theirs... it became apparent my options were running out!!

So I had to think about ways I could 'cheat'...

how could I get 2 images in.... without 'actually' using images....LOL!!

And HERE is what I came up with...

The '18' is handcut from my 'cheat'... I've printed lots of litte cupcakes from the yummy wishes kit... to create a sort of backing paper...

So In effect I have used images in both the little boxes (pokes tongue out!!)

The larger cupcake is the same one from the kit coloured with promarkers...

The papers are crate paper 'orbit'

The sentiment is from the critters and cogs clear stamp set

The pearls are from my stash...

I've handwritten little tabs that spell 'Adam' as this card is for my lil bro...who becomes a proper grown up in a couple of weeks!!

WOW seems like only yesterday we were making him put a bucket on his head and spin round till he was dizzy... and then watching him walk into things... LOL!!

oh...wait a minute...it was!!

Well thats me for today!!

hope to be back soon with some fun sneek peeks...

The penguins are coloured with promarkers

The paper is Bo Bunny....mounted onto kraft cardstock, and then cut with a nestie labels die...

Pollycraft Challenge Purple/Green + one!

Hi all!! Happy Monday!!

Sorry I'm a bit late posting a card for this weeks Pollycraft Challenge...

Intended to post it this morning, but ended up going out to my MIL's and spent most of the day up there chatting...

oops!!

Anyway... better late than never here is my seriously quick mini card...

The theme this week has been chosen by the Gorgeous Joey, and she wants to see us using Purple/Green and one other colour... I chose brown...

All I've done is coloured Ethan with promarkers, hand written the sentiment next to him, inked the edges and mounted on cardstock!!

'Simples!'

I think this is pretty cool... and I will probably make another to send to my 2 lil bro's for chrimbo!

NOW THEN....

The eagle eyed among you will have noticed that my followers have reached 4 figures!!!

WHOOOHOOOOOO!!!

and you are probably wondering if I've noticed, and if so, what I'm doing to celebrate...

WELL... heres the thing... every time I even mention my followers, I lose a few...LOL!!

I was up to 1001, but I've lost one...:(

SOOOO, I have candy sitting here ready for you all, but I'd like to clear the danger zone a bit first....

So if you are a regualer visitor, but NOT a follower.... Come and help me out...

I promise it will be worth your while!!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Its a Fairytale... Pollycraft Challenge #65

Goooooooooooooood Morning (see all those 'o's??? it must be good!!)

Today we have set you a new challenge over on the POLLYCRAFT CHALLENGE blog...

This weeks its the gorgeous Marias turn to set the theme

And she's chosen

'its a fairytale'

Another nice and easy one for you all!!!

I decided not to go down the route of Fairies and Princesses and came up with this...

Melody is lost in her fairytale world... dreaming of escaping to a castle on a hill top... of course she's got a craft room up in that big tower!! LOL!

For my card I've used...

Melody - My fairytale and Cherry Kisses - Castle

all coloured with promarkers

I think the background papers are Kay & Co... they were a RAK from the lovely Maria

I've handcut the cloud shapes and edged with a fineliner...

used a page from an old book...

and handwrote the 'dream' tabs...

I'm fairly pleased with how this turned out... and am thinking of framing it to go in my new craft room...

 (which my lovely hubby is working on as I type... can you hear all the banging??)

She reminds me of me... lost in my own little world... LOL!!

PLEASE go check out the AWESOME creations from the Pollycraft DT...

I'm SO excited to be introducing you to a brand new DT member this week...

The MEGA talented Sandra... AKA Cherry Pickins...

I'm so chuffed to be working with Sandra... I've been a huge fan of her work for AGES...

infact, shall I tell you a secret? shhhhhhhhh......

In my list of bookmarked blogs... Sandras is the second blog I EVER added!! (around 2 years ago I reckon!!)

anyway.... lol...

please give Sandra a HUGE Pollycraft welcome....

I'm sure you'll agree she will be a great asset to the team!!

well, I think thats me for today...

Hope to have something fun and candy shaped to share soon...

thanks for looking!!
