Last afternoon of freedom!

Hi All

Hope you are all well this evening. I have enjoyed my last afternoon of half-term by doing a little bit of crafting! Probably my last, until the weekend at least, although I have applied for a new job so fingers crossed I get an interview….if so, it might mean giving up a crafty weekend! Lol!

I have had a go at a few challenges today but also used a few stamps that I haven’t used before. I have also coloured in lots of different images so they are waiting in the wings to be made into cards ;)

My first card today is a gorgeous Penny Black image. Love these little hedgehogs…they are so sweet. I have used some Papermania fairytale papers on this card…think I have fallen in love with them. I have also used my ProMarkers to colour them in. I used: tan, sandstone, blush, buttercup and pear green if you are interested. I would like to enter this card into a number of challenges today: Penny Black Saturday Challenge this week which is ‘Pearls and Lace’, Cute Card Thursday which this week is ‘Flower Power’ (have flowers in the image and backing paper), I Love ProMarkers challenge which is the theme of ‘Nature’ and finally the Sketch Saturday challenge which is this fab sketch.

My next card today is another Bella one. These are definitely my new thing! Love the images and I can give these cards out to so many of my friends…they will love them! Hoping to purchase some more at the end of the month…although I need to save as am thinking of going to the NEC in March! This Bella image is her having a brew or latte depending on preference! Lol! Again I used some of the Papermania Fairytale papers and coloured her in with my ProMarkers. Wish I had her skinny arms…hehe! I’d like to enter this into the Allsorts Challenge this week which is ‘Anything Goes.’

Another new stamp next (I haven’t had a shopping spree by the way…they are just ones I have had for a while and not used!) is a gorgeous little Christmas Sugar Nellie. This is such a cute image and I have used my favourite Christmas colour scheme which is blue and white! I have also used some of my seam binding to make a bow…another favourite embellishment of mine at the moment! I would like to enter this into the Winter Wonderland challenge this week which is to create a ‘Christmas card’ to start off their Christmas card challenges again and I’d also like to enter it into the Totally Papercrafts challenge this week which is ‘Ribbons and Bows’.

My final project for you today is a tag that I have made for the Just Magnolia challenge this week….which is to ‘Make a Tag’. I have used my lovely Princess Tilda and couple it with some gorgeous girly papers out of my stash. I have used a doily and some pearls/gems to add a little sparkle.

Hope you enjoyed looking. Am trying to get round to a big blog hop, update my blog and also thinking about some blog candy so will keep you all posted! If I get chance this week then I might be able to sort it then…so keep a look out ;)

Hope you all have a lovely week and thanks for the lovely comments you leave, they are really appreciated.

Hugs
Arline
