Pretty floral prints!

Hello! I have a pretty floral card to share today...it's my DT card for Passion for Promarkers. The lovely Julie has chosen FLOWERS as our challenge theme this week, how easy is that?! Here's my card...
I'm pleased to say the photo is a little better than the one in my last post (that was a shocker)...so you can see the colouring better. I have used this super image called BEACH HUT, which was supplied by our very kind sponsor this week, DIGISTAMP BOUTIQUE. I cropped the image at the bottom to cut off the hut's stilts and the sandy beach, as I wanted this to look more like a garden shed to go with this week's flower theme. The papers are old ones from October Afternoon. I've coloured, of course, with my Promarkers. The challenge really couldn't be easier so do join in with us!

Right, I'm in the thoght process (yes I said thought as it hasn't happened yet) of moving my craft room...my rapidly growing 1 year old is now taking over the house with her toys and clothes so I am going to have to vacate my craft room! I am psyching myself up for it, so wish me luck...

Swweeeeeet...

Hello peeps! Oh crikey, it's past 1.30am and I'm still up doing my blog post...there just isn't enough hours in the day! So this will be short and sweet...very sweet! Sugary cupcake kind of sweet...
Firstly HUGE apologies for the absolutely naff photo...no excuse apart from it was taken in my kitchen 10 mins ago under terrible lighting, so my cupcake colours are REALLY NOT good! This looks almost neon, which it is not in real life...grrr! And there's lots of shading (like on the cherry for instance) which is lost here!
This is one of 12 cards that I've done as thank you cards for Darcie's birthday... I've used this sweet SWEET Sundae Cupcake from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. The sentiment stamp is from Penny Black.  Doodles and sequins/pearls finish it off...et voila!

BIRTHDAYS...RAINBOWS...OH AND A FEW CARDS!

Hello everyone! This is a long post...

Sorry my post is a little later than planned today but it's my baby girl's 1st Birthday today...oh how time flies!!! We have had a busy morning opening lots of lovely cards and presents...then playing with all Darcie's new toys (and the wrapping paper cos that's a really fun toy!!!) So a little later than planned, here is my card for today's Passion for Promarkers Challenge, Eileen has chosen the theme FANCY THAT (add bows, lace, sparkle etc)...
As you can see this is Darcie's Birthday card... the digital stamp is so cute, she's from Tiddly Inks and is called Willow the Birthday Fairy... LOVE HER! My interpretation of FANCY is sparkle! She is of course coloured with my Letraset Promarkers (and Flexmarkers). Passion for Promarkers is sponsored this week by Little Claire Designs and Letraset...check out the challenge blog for more details! I'd like to enter this card into the Tiddly Inks Challenge-Anything Goes.

My second card today is for the Little Miss Muffet Facebook Group...our current challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet blog is RED WHITE AND BLUE! And if you don't know already, there's a DT Call at the moment! I've used this adorable digital stamp from Pollycraft, Broasca's Cupcake, available at Little Miss Muffet Stamps...
She's coloured with Copics. Scraps, doodles and buttons finish off the card. 

Ok so now a few photos of my baby girl! HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY DARCIE! I can't believe it's already a year since you entered our lives and filled them with joy, sunshine and rainbows! This was you in the hospital, so small and precious the day after you were born...
And a year on, blowing out your candles! Oh how time flies!

Once again I have enlargerd the stamp on the PC and cropped the image to fit my card (she comes complete with legs lol). I've coloured her with my Tria Markers (don't forget to take part in the PFP challenge you must use Letraset products...Promarkers, Flexmarkers etc We are kindly sponsored by Polka Doodles, you could grap a fab prize if you join in the challenge). The rainbow card has been in my scrap bow forever...ideal time to use it! A bit of sparkle and doodles and she's ready to roll!

Proud Dad!

Well Father's Day is fast approaching and this year I have had to make an extra card for a first time dad...my hubby! He's so proud of our baby daughter, Darcie, I'm sure he'll get emotional on Sunday when we give him his card and present :)

Here's the card I made using Father's Lion from Little Miss Muffet Stamps...
 I was inspired by the lovely Faye's Lion card...pop by her blog cos you won't be disappointed! For me it was CAS...just a dash of colour and sparkle for this proud lion! Check out more inspiration on the Little Miss Muffet Blog, Facebook and Pinterest pages!

Here's a little piccy of Darcie...oh how she has grown! Next month she'll be a year old...where have those months gone?

After Monday & Tuesday...

Hello hello!
I'm here today to share a card for our MASCULINE challenge today over at Passion for Promarkers, and also to showcase one of the new rubber stamps from Bugaboo available at Little Miss Muffet Stamps...
This witty stamp is called Grandpa's Calendar, I thought the sentiment was just fab! I've made this card for a friend, who's a mechanic, hope he likes it! I have used my Promarkers to colour him. There's a few new stamps over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps Store, so pop by for a look!

Our sponsor this week at Passion for Promarkers challenge is Sassy Studio Designs. Check out the challenge blog for more info and to see the other fab male cards the girls have made!

Seeing Stars

Hello from a very windy France! The weather forecast says it's going to be very hot this week...hmm not sure if they mixed that up and meant to say very windy?! It's blowing a gale here!

I, however, am nice and cosy indoors, and I have a card to share with you! This is a little inspiration for the Little Miss Muffet Facebook group using another digital stamp from Pollycraft's Candy Floss Crew...
This little lady is called EBONY and you can find her over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps HERE! Again I have enlarged her, and cropped her on the computer. Colouring is with Copic Ciaos...I don't have many colours but I really like how these pens blend...I feel my collection may well increase...

You still have time to join in with the challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog where it's Anything Goes...simple!

Thanks to all my friends who still visit me regularly, despite the fact that I don't get much time to return the compliment. It hasn't gone unnoticed so THANK YOU!!!
