June Card Challenge 'MIXED UP'

Okay people.....
This is my first attempt at creating a challenge so if it doesn't work properly...be nice to me!!!

Heres what I want you to do:

Create a card using 2 different pollycraft designs! Use elements from one, and combine them with elements from another, to make a whole new mixed up design!

here's my take to give you more idea of what I mean....

I've used 'Lily Springtime Wired' and the flower and wording from 'Scamp Flower Friend'

To enter either post the image of your card on your blog, then leave me a comment here with a link directly to it, or email the image to me: paula@pollycraftdesigns.co.uk and I'll add it to a special page on my Community site. (Don't forget to add a comment though!)

1 winner will receive a £10 voucher to spend in the shop!! and also my card, if you want it!

End date is 30th June....so you have 3 weeks to do all your cutting and sticking (and thinking!)

Winner will be chosen by my little man, he doesn't know it yet though!!

Good luck....

P.s Just using a design and a backing paper is cheating.......

Favourite photos....

Been moving some of my pics off my memory cards to try to tidy them up a bit....
Thought I'd share a couple of my fav's with you.....
Took this one at the zoo a few weeks ago .I love watching these guys, I think they are Brilliant!!! Managed to capture this one just as a plane flew over...He looked up wishing he was on it going on his hols.....
Another one from the zoo, caught this guy just peeping out from his little hidy hole. 2 seconds later he shot back in....







My Little man digging to Australia..... this hole ended up about 4ft deep when Dad started helping...no-one fell in though....shame...
Took this a couple of weeks ago ......











My naughty little Puppy Lily...she's nearly 6 months old now...and this is the first time we've got a photo thats not her tail as she runs away...or her mouth wide open yawning.....
I'll post more as I find them.....

P.S blog candy coming soon.............

Pollycraft update....

Hi bloggers...
Just wanted to inform you of my new Pollycraftcommunity site
I wanted to create a place where pollycraft customers could share their views, photos and stories.

At the moment you'll find a Forum where you can meet other customers, suggest new design ideas, share tips and just have a good old chat....
You can sign the guestbook to give me an idea of what you think of me, the designs....the site
You can view photo gallerys of my completed projects, a user photo gallery and my new works in progress photo's.
Why not pop over and have a look?!

A bit of a change.....

Thought I'd have a bit of a break from the computer last week... and found out some of my crafting bits and bobs....
It was SO enjoyable, and reminded me why I started crafting in the first place...I'd been so busy creating new designs and building the website, i'd not even thought about cutting and sticking!!!

Heres a few of the Toppers I made...



I've decided to sell them on ebay, with the hope of adding a new dimension to the business...
Check the rest out here

I'm making some more today, as I'm enjoying it LOADS, and then I'm back on the job.....so keep your eyes peeled for new designs.....

And the winners are....

Suprise Suprise....everyone who left a comment!!! (as there were only 4 of you!) think I over-estimated that one a bit!!
Thanks to all of you for great Milly ideas, some of which are already complete!
I'll work on the rest soon, but i'm a bit behind this week, the site was down for a couple of days earlier in the week, which threw things into turmoil a wee bit!! Plus I rather cleverly threw an entire mug of coffee into my keyboard on monday, needless to say It passed away shortly after...Finally got a new one last night.......
Cheryl, Emma and Linda I'll send your Millys shortly...anonymous...I can't send yours because I dont know who you are!!...please get in touch!
Been to the seaside today, was really nice to have a day off, havent really had one since I left my 'real job'. In a moment of stupidity we decided to hire a row boat, and went out on the lake.... and lets just say my husband is NOT a rower! we spent most of the time being attacked by bushes up on the banks! and we were late getting the boat back! but it was hilarious!! I've now decided that I need a holiday....much to the annoyance of hubby, who's been telling me for weeks he needed one, and I wasn't interested!! Just got to decide where now.....
Suggestions? good for kids, but not Spain.....and no rowing boats!
Anyway must get some work done now I have a keyboard again... (just realised as I typed where my coffee is....oops!)
More 'blog candy' coming soon.....
