Fast Cars and Camper Vans

I would firstly like to say hello to my lovely new followers, its fab to see you and always appreciated!  I will be popping round to visit your blogs very soon and see your wonderful creations!

Last Friday was my friend and her husband's birthday (they share the same date).  Doing a card for my friend was easy, she loves pigs but her husband - groan.  Both my friend and hubby love camper vans, I haven't got a thing with camper vans on so it was a quick text to her to say 'help!'.  Anyway, apparently he also loves fast cars and I do not think you can get any faster with these:

I made a very simple card using a kit from Hunkydory which has a lot of male images in it - a life saver!  The image is decoupaged with about six layers.  

Red, White and Blue

Which is the challenge for this week's Lili's Little Fairies!

Please do pop over and join in, we would love to see your fab creations!

The Lili of the Valley image has been coloured with Promarkers.

Papers are  : Me to You With Love and Boofle Designstax.

The corners are just some I had floating round and as I have lost the packaging I cannot tell you what make.  

Hot Stuff

And it has been quite warm last week here, this week not so good with rain and then sun, typical British Summer!  

Anyway, this month's Without Words Challenge is to use hot colours : red, orange, hot pinks etc.  I don't quite know if you could say my card used hot colours but it was certainly warm in my craft room when I was making it!

 

The Whimsy stamps is called Sweet Sparkle and I have coloured her with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens.  

The paper is Wild Rose Studio Floral and the green card is from stash.

I have used a die by Die-namics to cut the corners.

In The Garden

It's Thursday and its Lili's Little Fairies Challenge Day!  These Thursdays come round so quickly, is scary!

The theme this week is In The Garden.  Now I don't know about you, but I am not at all green fingered.  I wish I was, but I am not so our garden at the moment is flower free.  It has pebbles and decking and that is it.  I am wanting flowers but they will have to go in tubs and luckily a good friend of hubby's loves gardening so at least I will have someone to plant, prune and generally look after them for me!

I do apologise for the qualify of the photo, it isn't squint, its just my photo taking!

The Lili image has been coloured with Promarkers.

Papers used are: Milton & Co and Wild Rose Studio Floral. 

The butterfly has been cut using a freebie I got from a magazine and you cannot see it very well but I have used crystal glitter on its wings.

So, pop over and join in the fun at Lili's Little Fairies Challenge, would love to see you there!

Good Luck!

Hope you are managing to enjoy the lovely sunny weather we have here, so nice to feel warm for a change!  As I type this I have been sat out in the garden and admiring my new purchase: a sleepy dragon!  Anyone who knows me know I love and adore dragons of any description, I have loads of dragon ornaments scatter about the house, in fact I am running out of places to put them!

As soon as I saw this cutie I just had to have him!  I have only got one other dragon in our garden and as he was feeling lonely I got him a play mate!  

Anyway, on to this week's card for Lili's Little Fairies Challenge, so pop over, join in and have fun!

The Lili image has been coloured with Promarkers.  

Papers are Me to You Spring Chic and the sentiment is from a set by Craftwork Cards.

Spots & Stripes

Hello bloggers, its Thursday so that means it is Lili's Little Fairies Challenge!  This week it is spots and stripes which are a favourite of mine, not to wear just to craft with!  When I started this card I decided to do the girl with a blue dress, which turned out green and I ended up doing green and purple, one of my favourite colour themes.  It was not planned like that but just developed! 

So come on over and join in all the fun at Lili's Little Fairies, looking forward to seeing you there!

The Lili image is coloured with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens.

Papers are Papermania Capsule Collection - Spots & Stripes Pastels.  

The heart is a Memory Box die.

Everything else is from stash.  

Where Has The Sun Gone!!!

And I wish it would come back!  After the glorious Bank Holiday when we were walking round in short sleeves and feeling quite hot, we are now back to the wind, rain, bitterly cold and wearing long sleeves!

Never mind, at least my house is extra clean due to staying indoors and not soaking up the sun!

This image is Mulberry Wood - Birthday Wishes and is coloured with Promarkers.  The sentiment comes from the same set of stamps.  The pink card is from stock.  

Sorry for the quality of the picture, my photo skills do not get any better!

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
