Spring Fever

Spring may be here but these last few days have been more like November!  Certainly doesn't put me in the mood to do a Spring card but definitely need some pretty colours to brighten a very dull and rainy day!

Apologies for the bad photo, this is not the best of days for photo taking!

The image is Wild Rose Studio - Bunny and Bee and the papers are Papermania - Lucy Cronmwell Designstax.  Green card and flowers are all from stash.

I have also used Sakura glitter pen on the bee and some of the flowers in the image.

I am entering this card in the Cute Card Thursday Challenge - Spring Fever.

Fantasy

Good afternoon everyone, where has the sun gone?!  We had a few days of lovely sunshine even though it was cold and now this week we have had thick fog, rain and just generally miserable!  Hay ho, hopefully the warmer weather will be with us soon - I hope!

I decided to have a go at the Squirrel and the Fox challenge.  I came across this one while browsing other blogs and the challenge took my eye as its one of my favourite subjects - fantasy: 

 

The image is from Lili of the Valley and coloured with Spectrum Noir pens and Promarkers.  Papers are Daisy & Dandelion Lovingly Yours and NitWit Country Lady.  Brown card and gems are from stash.

St. David's Day

Good afternoon everyone in blog land, hope you are having a good day.  Gorgeous sunshine and blue sky here, looks just like a Summer's day until you go outside and it is still bitterly cold but the sun just makes you feel so much better and happier!

On the 1st March it was St. David's Day here in the UK which is the theme for Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge.  This is my take on it:

I have used Dreamy Dragon by Wee stamps coloured with Spectrum Noir pens and Promarkers.  Papers are Wild Rose Studio Floral paper stack and Milton & Co paper stack.  The Green and yellow card is from stash.

Something Simple

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend.  Yesterday we had a lovely sunny day but the sun has disappeared and its still bitterly cold.  Roll on Spring time!

Below is a card made for a friend of ours.  He was rushed into hospital last week and had an emergency operation.  He spent and few days on the high dependency ward but luckily he has now been allowed home.  He is still quite ill but getting better every day so wanted to send a quick card to cheer him up:

The image and sentiment is Fizzy Moon and coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.  

Butterflies!

I think there is nothing more lovely than a butterfly fluttering about on a warm sunny day.  Think the warm days are a long way off yet but today it has been really sunny here, so much better than the white stuff!

Lili's Little Fairies challenge is Butterflies:

The image is of course from Lili of the Valley and the papers are from the Nitwit Collection - Promises.  Image is coloured with Promarkers and the green card is from stock.

I know the card looks on the squint but I can assure you it isn't, its just my amazing camera skills!

Howzat!

Hello everyone, hope you are all keeping warm and cozy and not had much snow!  We snow all day Wednesday and by the evening it was quite deep but then it rained all night and by Thursday morning the snow had gone.  Lovely sunny day here and my little Roly is wanting to sit outside and sunbathe even though I tell him its just not warm enough!  Bless him, he loves his sun!

This card is not for any challenge, its for a friend of ours who is 50 today and he is mad on cricket!  We are off to his birthday party tonight so hopefully that should be fun!

The image is from Lili of the Valley and coloured in Promarkers.  The blue card is from stash and the sentiment is computer generated.  

Love Is In The Air

Good afternoon one and all, hope you are all well and keeping warm.  Hope all your snow has gone too.  We are supposed to be having some this afternoon and tomorrow but so far it is just raining and very cold.

It will soon be that time of the year again, yes it will be Valentines Day when we all get bombarded with cards and declarations of love, well some of us do anyway!  I wait every year for the postie to bring me sacks of cards and every year he disappoints me, think I may have to have words with him!

The following card I have done for four challenges:
