 Hi Crafters,

We have an exciting new challenge for you starting today at Passion For Markers.

We'd like you to use your FAVOURITE TOOL/PRODUCT/EMBELLISHMENT plus your Markers on your project...here is mine

I love using my dies and embossing folders so I combined them with this fabulous image from our sponsor this week.

Dr Digi's House of Stamps

My background was created with a Crafters Companion Music embossing folder then several dies were used from my stash to frame the image which was coloured with Promarkers. I've added glitter and gems plus glossy accents for the cake icing and candle flames.

Christmas Card Club Challenge #18 - Use Kraft Card

 Hi Crafters,

Our hostess this week at the Christmas Card Club is Margaret and she has chosen the theme of

USE KRAFT CARD

Now I wasn't at all surprised by her choice of theme as Margaret always makes the most fantastic kraft and white Christmas cards. I thought I'd give this a go and so here is my card using a Paper Boutique Snowflake Frame Die set, some glitter embossing powder, an old snowflake embossing folder from Sheena Douglas and a few gems.

 Love To Craft - #70 ATG

Aud Sentiments - #297 Christmas + Sentiment

Alphabet Challenge - K is for Kraft

I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

Happy Birthday Mum!

 Hi Crafters,

This card was made for my Mum's Birthday.

She is 91 years young today!

...and as you can see her favourite colour is blue so I thought that this blue Hydrangea Charisma and die set from Tattered Lace would be prefect for her card. I also used some other dies in the Tattered Lace Collection - Lovers of Lace Heart Frame, Hemstitch Square, Leaving a Trail and Oh So Floral dies.

I'm so lucky to still have my mum with us and in fine fettle too, I will be going to see her later today, we always have a lovely chat and put the world to rights along the way.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

C.R.A.F.T. challenge - #649 Shabby Chic

As You Like It - Favourite Card Base Shape and Why ( I love to use square card bases as these give me so much more space to add details and elements to my design)

That's all from me today, I'll see you tomorrow for my Allsorts DT inspiration.

Passion For Markers Challenge #656 - Christmas

 Hi Crafters,

Today marks the start of a new challenge week at Passion For Markers where we would love to see your CHRISTMAS creations alongside using your Markers.

The DT were given some sweet images from our sponsor this week Lili of the Valley Stamps and I used 'Robin Cracker' for my card.

Coloured with Promarkers and using freebie papers from a magazine this card came together very quickly, I love it when that happens - often I sit at my desk and Mr Mojo just laughs and walks off.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

CHNC Every Saturday - #609 ATG Christmas

Colour Crazy Challenge - #34 ATG Colouring Challenge

Sparkles Christmas Challenge - #139 Sentiment as Main Focus

Please take a look at the other lovely makes from the DT HERE.

To be eligible for the prize of 4 Digital Images from LOTV 

you must use your Markers on your project and follow the theme.

See you soon,

Lorraine

Christmas Card Club Challenge #17 - Blue Christmas

 Hi Crafters,

I'm back again today with my Christmas Card Club creation.

GranMargaret has asked us for BLUE CHRISTMAS and this is what I made following the theme.

This lovely vignette and die set are from Carnation Crafts, I seem to be using them a lot lately :o) I die cut a few of them and layered up the image so it is 3D.

The backing paper is also one of theirs but the picot edge die is from Tattered lace. The blue pearls have been in my stash for ages and matched beautifully.

How is your Christmas Card making coming along?

I had quite a few and felt in a good place but then last week at the craft fair I attended I sold a substantial number of them so I'm back to making as many as I can again to boost the pile.

See you soon,

Lorraine
