Let's go surfing....

It's time for another challenge over at Cards for Men and here's my DT card.

The sponsor is That Craft Place which is a fabulous shop based in Eastbourne.  Please take a visit, I'm sure you'll find lots of goodies.

The challenge theme is 'Sports'.  Please pop over to Cards For Men to see the ideas from the rest of the Design Team.

I've used The Greeting Farm's 'Surfer Ian' which has been coloured with my promarkers.  The paper was a freebie from a magazine and the other bits are from my stash.  I'd like to enter this card into the  following challenges:

Let's hear it for DAD at Cards for Men

So, I've not been the best blogger of late - I've had very little mojo.  Hopefully, I can get back on track now, and I'll start with my latest DT card for Cards for Men.

The challenge is sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps and there are two digis for one lucky winner.  The image I've used is Gardening Gus which I've coloured with my promarkers.  The sentiment is computer generated and the backing card is from Stampin Up (probably Chocolate Chip but can't be sure).  The backing paper is from October Afternoon which I love.

Take a look at the main challenge post over at Cards for Men for all the details and to get a look at the wonderful work from my team-mates.

Going Green at Digi Galore

It's time for another challenge at Digi Galore and this time you have a choice of theme.  It's either St Patrick's Day or the colour Green (or both).  Here's my DT card:

The image is Kids Boy - Heart Balloons from Bugaboo Digi Stamps who are the sponsors of the challenge.  I've coloured him with Promarkers.  The backing paper and card are from Stampin Up and the sentiment is an old set I have from Whimsy Stamps.  Please pop over to the main blog to get all the challenge details and to see the ideas from my team mates.

Megan's Birthday

I made this card at the same time as George's.  We don't actually know this little girl but she was having a joint party with George so she got a card too.  I made them both at the same time, hence, the similarities.

Again, I've used a Greeting Farm stamp coloured with Promarkers.  The backing paper is from Papermania and the sentiment is computer-generated.  Since it was a girl's card, I've added a touch of glitter to the earrings, belt and boots.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Scrappy Frogs - Red and/or Pink 
PanPastel UK Challenge - Happy Birthday

A Card for George

I made this card a few weeks back for my youngest to give to his school friend, George.

I made this card for one of my children's friends who was 5 last week.  The image is from Birdie Brown and coloured with Promarkers.  The backing paper is Stampin Up and the sentiment is Hero Arts.  Hope you like it.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Sweet Pea Stampers - week 1 use a digital stamp

Be My Valentine!

This is my DT card for Cards for Men where the challenge starting today is 'All My Love'.  The prize is 5 digis from Kenny K which is worth entering for, isn't it?  Pop over to the main post to see all the details and to see the wonderful cards from the rest of the team.

My image is called 'Hug' which I've coloured with promarkers and backed with Stampin Up cardstock (Real Red).  The backing paper is from Love Notes by Fancy Pants and the sentiments are from My Heart stamp set from Waltzing Mouse Stamps.

Off on your travels?

It's time for another challenge at Cards for Men and this time the theme is 'Transport'.  We are sponsored by Meljen's Designs and I got to work with Skiing Mouse which was really fun.

I've coloured the image with Promarkers.  The backing card and ink are Stampin Up (Baja Breeze) and the paper is from a new paper pad from Fancy Pants called Little Sport.

I hope you like my card and that you are encouraged to join in our challenge.  Hop on over to the main post where you'll find all the details together with more ideas from my team mates.

When I grow up (3) ...

Another of my Stamping Boutique cards, this time a Good Luck (new job) theme.

The image is AJ the Chef and he's been coloured with promarkers.  The cardstock, twine and sentiment are all Stampin Up.  The charm is from Whiff of Joy and the designer paper is Basic Grey.

Hope you like it.

When I grow up (2) ...

Here is another of my cards using an image from the wonderful 'The Stamping Boutique'. I still can't believe they're gone!

I've coloured the image with promarkers.  The paper and cardstock are Stampin Up and the puffy sticker is ATC which I have had for ages.  This card is actually more red than orange in real life.

When I grow up I want to be a ....

builder.  The little chap in my card does anyway.

This is my DT card for the first challenge of 2013 at Cards for Men which is sponsored by Stampin Up, courtesy of Carole Bryson Wood at Heartfully Yours.  The prize is 2 full size ink pads (winners choice of subtles, brights or regals).  Pop over to Cards for Men where you'll find out more information and also get some wonderful inspiration from my team-mates.

My image is from The Stamping Boutique, who have sadly closed their doors now.  I printed out a number of their 'AJ' images with a view to doing a series of 'When I grow up' type birthday cards so you'll see a few more over the next few weeks.  It's coloured with promarkers.  The cardstock is 'More Mustard' from Stampin Up and the background pattern is from 'Cuddly Buddly' which I've had for ages.

On my card I'm using a new image from Scribbled Kidz which I've coloured with promarkers.  The sentiment is from a Greetings Farm set which I've stamped using Lucky Limeade from Stampin Up.  The lace was a bit from my stash.

Devillish Divas Blog Hop

Welcome to the Devilish Divas Halloween blog hop!  You should have arrived here from Cely's blog.  If you are just joining the hop and want to start from the beginning, please visit Dena’s blog and begin there so you don’t miss out on any of the cool projects! 

This is a Halloween-themed hop sponsored by Kenny K Downloads.  One lucky winner will win their choice of FIVE digi’s from the Kenny K Downloads store along with a fun Halloween goodie bag sponsored by our hostess, Dena Jones.  Details on how to enter are at the bottom of this post.  Here is a brief bio on our sponsor:

 

 

 

Digi and rubber stamps from KennyK are a fun and edgy way to add the perfect dose of attitude and style to all your creations! 

The creator, the artist, the man:  KennyK is a NYC-born professional illustrator who has brought his funky-but-slick, urban-influenced look to the cardmaking and papercrafts world.  His signature style can be seen throughout his various collection of pinup babes, sweet ‘n sassy girls, cool rockin’ dudes, kid’s stuff, retro characters and more at KennyDownloads.com.

 

Now, on to my project:

 

My image is Scarlett West and I think she's wonderful. She reminds me of the 'Melody Pond/River Song' character in Doctor Who who's rather naughty.  I've coloured her with promarkers, backed with some wonderful paper from Stampin Up and a bit of web rbbon from my stash.

Have you heard about Scribbled Kidz?

It's a new digi stamp company with images designed by my hubby!!!  As you can imagine, I love them, but I'm biased.  Please have a look and judge for yourself.  In the meantime, here's a card I made with one of his first images, it's called 'Lookin Scary Tonight'.
