It's a Sketch at Bearly Mine Designs

Woo Hoo Peeps,

It's the first challenge over at the new Bearly Mine Designs Challenge Blog and it's a skecth by Donna to kick us off. We have three sponsors, so that means 3 prizes, yep, hope you can come and play.

I've used one of the fab Kenny K images which are great for Men's cards and I thought I'd get ahead by making a Valentine Card. Sexy little madam isn't she, lol.

I have of course used the Bearly Mine Digi Papers, which can be found HERE.  I have used a combination of the new Loves Dream, if you scroll down to my previous post but one, you will see a beautiful Hanglar card using these new papers released yesterday.  I have also used valentine papers from both the Extreme Volume I and Volume III.  So you see you can mix and match.  If you check by my blog tomorrow you'll see I've used another new set, Cheery Days, fabulous papers.

First and Last of 2010/2011 and Some News

Hi again Peeps,

Here's my last card that I did in 2010 but didn't get time to post and my first finished card of 2011.  Couldn't wait to ink up this new Hanglar cutie but then again I say that about all my stamps, lol.  I am currently spending time with the family but  saying that they are both belting out Summer of 69 in my ear and all I can say is I didn't have any cats before, but it sounds like I do now, lol.  Do you think if I got up and went to my craft room there'd notice...........

Look at me being so super organised, let's see how long it lasts.  These gorgeous papers are the new to be released tomorrow Love Dreams by Bearly Mine Designs.

Image is by Hanglar and Stanglar and coloured using copics and prisma pencils

Lade from stash

This card was kinda hard to fulfil, I was given the recipe from the lad in my office for his girlfriends card which he left to the last minute.  Not so good for me as it was housework night, lol.  He required stitching, christmas tree and the magnolia image chosen, swirls and the snowflakes. He did want layers but with this paper it just would have spoiled it.   I think I achieved it all or thereabouts.

Materials Used:

Magnolia Image

Tree stamp was from Stamp Addicts

Papers are Websters

Snowflake christmas decoration topped with Marianne Design Snowflake and a Martha Stewart Punced one

Everything else from stash
