Cute and pretty in pink

Happy Monday everyone and wherever you are in the world I hope it heralds a good week for you!!

NO work for me this week...yay...so it's going to be super good chez Wills!!

Anyway I am really here to share my DT card for the new challenge at

The Cutie Pie Challenge

and in keeping with the Breast Cancer Awareness Month the theme is

PRETTY IN PINK

We were supplied with digis from one of our sponsors, Crafty Sentiments, and typically my printer just would not play nicely. Thankfully I had a rubber stamp set from the same company that I could use...phew!! I used my favourite Lawn Fawn set to create the pretty layered panel using Nitwits Country Meadow digital papers and Promarkers to colour the image.

I'd like to try my hand at these challenges

Down the local!!

Hello everyone, unusual for me to be here on a Sunday evening but have managed to grab a few minutes to myself for a bit of blogging and thought why not?!! Anyway, I know I am not alone in saying that the male species are often difficult to make cards for. However, I think this one fits the bill for almost any age.

 It's a digi from Buddly Crafts called " Down the local" that I coloured with Promarkers to compliment the digi papers, also from Buddly Crafts. The pint's "head" was glittered, the glass had a touch of glossy accents and I added the button and twine from my stash to finish off. 

Some challenges to play

Enjoy the rest of the day xx

Black and White or Colour?

Hello friends. My card today is my DT piece for

Those of you that visit often will know that I love patterned paper and always colour my images to match...so here is the latest effort!!

The From The Heart digi was just too cute to resist. The Hobbycraft pad was still on my desk so I used that again together with the snowflakes also from Hobbycraft.

P..P...Pick up a penguin

Another Christmas card from me today and I make no apology because it is such a fabulous stamp and I would like it noted that I do not endorse penguin throwing in any way, shape or form!!

The fabulous Archie was coloured to compliment the Frosty Friends papers, matted on some teal card and adorned with some ribbon and a pearl slider...simples. Ooh and the sketch was borrowed from the most generous Jules...again!!

A challenge or two

I should be in the saddle but it's a pea souper out there (thick fog for those of you not in the UK!!) so Surprise gets a reprieve this morning, which I am sure she won't mind!! I haven't shared any photographs for a while so this is what the mornings were like at the beginning of the week. 

Have a lovely Sunday whatever you are doing xx

No stamps allowed

I simply CANNOT believe that September is over and we are welcoming October today...how on earth did that happen!?? 

Anyway, it being October 1st it means a new challenge at

Christmas Card All Year Round

and it's No Stamping 

...think pre-coloured toppers, die cuts...that kind of thing but definitely no stamps!!

Struggling? hmmmm I did too until I bought a crafting magazine that had some really great decoupage and here is what I made.

The sky paper was a perfect colour match to the snow globe base, and came from Hobbycraft. The snow is some shimmery paper and the sentiment was a freebie from way back, so really not that difficult at all!!

You have a month to play so I hope you will find time to join in...go on challenge yourself!!
