A Very Crafty Weekend!!

What a busy weekend it has been! Friday night and Saturday afternoon I spent with my future sister-in-law making a scrapbook for brother-in-law to be as it is his 30th birthday next weekend-bit of a rush job but we were pleased with the end product, may have converted her to cardmaking and scrapbooking too! Lol! Then Saturday night I spent with my bessie mate Becky and we had a craft evening where we made some ATCs! I really enjoyed that as I haven't made any for ages!! Then today I have spent most of the day in Nottingham but when I got home I decided to take part in some challenges!

Here are the three ATCs that I made when Becky and I had our little craft night! I used some Forever Friend stamped images, coloured in with Pro Markers and used some of the Daisy and Dandelion paper pack which is lovely!

I have managed to make three cards and combine them with six challenges! So here is the first!

This is for the Friday Sketchers challenge which was this fab sketch which I really enjoyed using and it is also for the Just Magnolia challenge which was the theme of friendship. I have used one of my Magnolia stamped images that somebody gave to me, coloured in with Pro Markers and the papers are from Daisy and Dandelion pack and a DCWV pack. I really like the purple and green combination although the 'friendship cupcake' is a funny colour-not sure if I'd eat that if someone gave me it! Lol! I added a flower-using Becky's top tip! (I love it when we have craft nights as she gives me loads of fabby tips!) Her top tip was to cut green flowers in half to make it look like the flowers have got leaves behind it!

Here is the next card that I made:

The two challenges that I have taken part in here are the Papertake Weekly Challenge, which was this fab layout, and My Time to Craft which is the theme of Christmas-trying to get ahead of myself with Christmas cards! I used one of my Elzybells Christmas stamps from last year, coloured in with Pro-Markers and I used the new Papermania Christmas papers which are really funky!

And finally...

This card is for the Dottie's World challenge which was the theme of romance and Cutie Sunday challenge which was this lovely sketch! I used one of the already coloured in images of Dottie and George-this image is sooo cute!! Then I used peel offs which I coloured in to fit my colour scheme-have been getting into using my peel-offs recently as I have liked colouring them in so that they co-ordinate with my card. The pink background paper has got a slight pattern on but looks a bit pale, this card does look better in real life I promise! I think if I was to use the sketch again I'd probably use a bolder pattern as a background-thought it might be a nice anniversary card for a young married couple!

That's it for now!! Thanks for looking!! I have got to make my brother-in-law to be his 30th birthday card this week so shall post that when I get a min! TTFN!xx
