Four Legged Friends - Allsorts Challenge #718

 Hi Crafters,

A fun new challenge has started over on the Allsorts Challenge Blog today. We'd like to see your creations featuring our FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS (domestic variety/not fantasy) but then there's the Anything Goes option too. Come and join in the fun.

I have made this comical 50th birthday card for a relative who is a dog walker, although I'm sure she doesn't have this many at once, no wonder the lady in the picture looks in a tangle!

Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit....

 Hi Crafters,

...that's what we always said as children when the first of the month came around in the hopes of a little luck that month. Did you remember to say it this morning? I never liked the 'Pinch, Punch first of the month' saying - at school I'm sure that the boys (and some girls) used this to justify being spiteful to other classmates. Do you have a saying in your part of the world when the first of the month comes around?

Anyway, I've waffled on long enough, it's time to share my DT card for the new challenge starting at

Crafts Galore Encore

Things With Wings at Passion For Markers

 Hi Crafters,

My apologies, it's been a while since I was here and also to visit your blogs but hubby has been in hospital again so things have been a little strange here, thankfully he is home now and feeling a little better. I'd like to thank you for all the lovely comments recently and I will come and visit you soon.

My appearance today is to showcase my DT card for our current challenge at Passion For Markers.

#679 - THINGS WITH WINGS

I have used this lovely, but sadly discontinued image, from Sugar Nellie. Their images are so lovely it is a shame not to use them just because they are no longer available. I'm sure many of you have lots of their stamps in your crafty stash.

Christmas Card Club Challenge #4 - Snow People

 Hi Crafters,

I'm popping in today to share my cards for the new challenge at the Christmas Card Club.

I think these little snowmen are so cute, they were a magazine freebie stamp set (Making Cards Magazine I believe) which I coloured with Promarkers. I made a few of these last Christmas and loved how cute they were so made some more for this challenge.

Take a peek at the other ladies Christmas creations by following the links in my sidebar.

Have a lovely Sunday!

With Love....

 Hi Crafters,

Happy Valentine's Day!

My card for today's new challenge at Passion For Markers was created using this lovely image from our sponsor Colour of Love, called Flower Petals.

Our theme this week is

ADD SOME FLOWERS 

Coloured with Promarkers and Copics I felt this image needed an oriental touch so added the lettering and then some flowers cut from paper that had been 'smooshed' with Distress Ink using a layering die.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Fun with Dies

Crafty Catz - #624 ATG/Add a Little Love

Pearly Sparkles - #81 ATG

Please take a look at the rest of the Design Team's creations here, they have been very busy making some lovely samples to inspire you. Our prize for this week is 3 digital images from Colour of Love, 

they have some gorgeous images on their website so you'll have a great time choosing your prize. Just use any of your Markers and follow the theme to be eligible.

Have fun!

Lorraine
