Valentine Card

My daughter wanted a Valentine card to give to one of her 'best' friends - no boys yet, thank goodness! :)

The papers I used are from Crate Paper - the Katlin range. I used my new Martha Stewart doily border punch for the first time on this card ..... and I'm loving it! :) The Magnolia images are coloured using Promarkers.

Cutie Sunday #27

The snow has almost gone here now - in fact today has been a lovely day weather wise. It was very cold this morning when walking the dogs. Very wet too. The fields are quite flooded and the dogs don't really like to get their feet wet, so weren't too happy about having to practically swim through the deep puddles by the gates :)

I hope we don't get any more snow or icy roads. It was lovely for the kids to see it and be able to play outside in it for a couple of days, but when you have to drive in it, it's a bit of a nightmare.

I've just found another sketch challenge site and decided to give it a go today.


The papers are a combination of K & Company, Hopscotch Boy and Hot Of The Press, Classic Cardmakers collection.

The image is by Rachelle Anne Miller - Lola with Bird.

Sketch Sunday - #18 Crafts 4 Eternity

More circles for this one! I found it a little easier this time :)

The papers are again from K & Company, this time Brenda Waltons Dolls House collection.

Sketch Saturday #37

The latest Sketch Saturday challenge. This was hard this week! I haven't done circles before and both the weekend challenges used them.

The papers are from K & Company's, K-Ology range - Peabody.

Sketch Saturday #12

Another lovely sketch from Sketch Saturday. For this one I have used K & Company Hopscotch Girl papers. The image, as usual, has been coloured with Promarkers.

Sunday Sketch Challenge - #14 Crafts 4 Eternity




This was a tricky one for me! I had a few problems trying to get the diagonals right. The result is quite a busy card, but I think it works ok : )

I used papers from DCWV - Nana's Kids collection.

Sketch Saturday #21



I'm gradually working my way through these challenges :) I quite like this one, although my image is a lot smaller than it's suppose to be in the sketch. I'm not sure of the balance and may put a greeting or something in the bottom left .... haven't made up my mind yet though :)

The papers are from K & Company - Brenda Walton's Chocolate Neopolitan collection.

Sketch Saturday #1

Papers are from K & Company Hopscotch Boy ...... again! What can I say ..... I like the colours! :) I am trying to use other papers ... but these just look exactly right with the Promarker colours I currently have :)

I really enjoyed making this card this morning. The sketch was lovely to work with and I am pleased with the final result.
I used Blue Hill papers from Crate Paper. As usual, the Magnolia stamp is coloured using Promarker pens :)

Sketch Saturday #36



This was my 3rd attempt today on this sketch challenge. In the end, I had to turn the sketch on its side to get it to work for me.
The papers are Rob & Bob and the Magnolia stamp is coloured with Promarker pens.

Here are my previous efforts ......

Papers are K & Company Hopscotch boy together with a little Bazzill cardstock.



Was a little side tracked with this one! I wanted to use this Magnolia today, but couldn't get it to work with the sketch as it is quite big. Finally produced this with it :)
The papers from the Hannah range by K & Company.
