ALLSORTS #640

 Good morning our new challenge at 

ALLSORTS 

starts today, the theme has been chosen by Wendy and is

ANYTHING GOES WITH OPTION 

FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE

Our Sponsors are

BEE CRAFTY 

& 

RUTH HAMILTON DESIGNS 

I have used a romantic image from

Hetty Clare called Pony Flower

I first found these digital images while visiting blogging friends and fell in love with them

I have once again used the card fold that looks like a star, I have added scalloped die cuts, flowers, double satin bow and a stamped sentiment, due cut sentiment (inside) the papers are from my stash.

In memory of Kath: Next weeks challenge would have been hosted by Kath and in her usual organised fashion she had selected her theme months ago. We are still having that theme but with a slight amendment to celebrate her style of crafting with some special prizes. So we hope lots of you will join us on 11th September for 'A Challenge for Kath'. Please feel free to share this information on your own blogs.

IT'S CHILLY CHARLIE

 Hi I am back again but this time with a Christmas Card, I have used the same card fold as I did on the card I posted yesterday but this time I put the flaps at a different angle Margreet told me that they can be placed either way so in fact I did not make a boo boo after all, lol.

I have used an 8 x 8 card base the papers are from my stash I have added some die cuts being the Poinsettia, Leaves and Snowflake, I bought the image called CHILLY CHARLIE from Di's Digital Designs and can be found HERE

I coloured him with Nuvo ad Graphic markers, I added some liquid pearls for the centre of the flower and as snow effect on the image. I fell in love with this cutie as soon as I set eyes on him.

GOING GREEN

 Hi all, firstly can I please thank everyone for popping by and leaving me a comment they are so appreciated

I have done 2 months as a GDT for Conie Fong and was pleasantly surprised when I was asked if I would do a further two months GDT stint for September and October I could not refuse and this is my first card for this month.

I have used the image CANDY SALLY 

I have coloured her with both Nuvo and Copic markers I added some die cut flowers and flower pearls the card fold is an unfortunate mistake, I saw the proper card fold on Margreets blog I thought I had studied it and then I attempted to recreate it unfortunately I put the flaps up the wrong way but I was actually quite happy with it as I think it looks a bit like a star. The papers are from my stash and I have added a Tonic die cut 'with love' sentiment on the inside.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

CREATALICIOUS - A/GOES

KRAFTY CHICKS - STAMP ACT 1

I am hoping to do a round of commenting this evening but I have been to my mums today as I do most days I try to do as much as I can for both mum and my brother, I didn't have to do much in the garden as it is looking ok.

Well that's me for now see you soon stay safe

BACK TO SCHOOL

I chose to use the image called MEGAN she looks as happy as I used to when I had to return to school, lol.

I printed the image out several times so I could decoupage her I did some doodling on the matching papers that come with the image and added some liquid pearls.

My second card features one of the other images that I won at Di's Design Challenge this one is called 

Peek -a-Pot Mice 

I coloured the image with Nuvo and Graphic markers, the papers are from my stash I used a stamp for the sentiment and added some flowers, liquid pearls and Bee die cuts.
