The Crazy Challenge #87 - Think Pink (Breast Cancer Awareness)

 Afternoon bloggers

Scotland has been dreich over the past few days, makes me wish I lived a bit further south.

Well what can Iexpect with winter just around the corner :)

Over at The Crazy Challenge this week we are Thinking Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are sponsored by Limited Runs Digital Stamps who have some great digis for all kinds of occassions (I have been over browsing the Halloween section - mmmm - spoookkyyyy) and they are offering 3 digis of choice to the winner. So - here's my card for the challenge and for the party over at Link Up For Pink thanks for the info Celeste:

You can buy the ribboned cupcake over at Limited Runs and the Hope ribbon on the bottom of my card is a wee freebie at the moment. I made the card using my nestie and positioned it on a fold so that when cut it formed a card. Think I need a bigger die-cutting machine now so I can use bigger nesties for making cards (well Christmas is just around the corner).


Wee close up pics of the card:

Ingredients:
Images: Limited Runs
Card: Cut with Lacey Circles Nestie
Papers: Tea House by Dovecraft
Medium: Promarkers
Embellishments: Butterfly punch, paper flowers, brads and pearls from stash, Frosted Lace Stickles & Glossy Accents

Thanks for looking folks, now lets see your pink creations over at the Crazy Challenge and hop over to the Link Up For Pink and join the fun to be in with a chane to win some wee prizes as well as raising awareness of Breast Cancer.

Sunny Monday!

Well- it is trying to be sunny, wish those clouds would just move outta the way and let the sun get on with it!

My wee bit o news - wellll I have been chosen to be on The Crazy Challenge's DT! How fab is that, my first DT!! The more observant of you may have notice my wee badge on my sidebar. Am so chuffed that I was chosen :o)

The theme this week is Summertime and the below card I have made fits the theme perfectly.

This nice summery card was made using Make it Crafty digi images (7 images in all). This is the first time I have combined digistamps and it was quite fun and easy to do:

It is a huge 8 x 8 Craftwork Cards card. Might not be the last 8 x 8 I do as I seem to need more and more room to decorate on my cards these days.

This is a wee close up of all the digi images. Aren't they all so cute!

Bottoms Up!

Evening!

Been fantastic weather here in Scotland today (and yesterday), for a change - hope it continues into next week so I can bask in it (as if I'll get to do that hahahahahaha).

Ross was out playing most of today, so I got a bit of time to craft. I made this wee card for the TLT Challenge, which is a sketch this week.

Here's my card using Martini Nikki from Ladybug Crafts Ink, which you can buy here:

This is the first time I've inked up Martini Nikki. Ain't she sweet, although likely a teeny bit tipsy...
The DP is from Dovecraft - Sugar n Spice. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and she is coloured with my PMs and cut with Nesties and I added glamour dust to her top and her eyeshadow so she sparkles a little. The sentiment is also from LCI, the whole sentiment is 'Sit back, relax and enjoy!' Just stole the enjoy bit for my card!

...and looky here - I did the inside too, only coz I had a bit of peace to do it :o). Tried to reflect the outside of the card, and I think it looks okay!
This is the sketch, and you still have time to enter if you're quick!


I'd like to enter the following challenge with my wee card:

Happy Mother's Day

Morning!

Hope all you mum's out there are having a lovely day. I got a humungous box of chocolates this morning from my boys, knowing them they will be finished by noon - kinda makes me wonder who the choc's were for ??? I am going to sit and craft all day and do hee-haw housework... just like most other days really LOL.

I popped up to my mum's yesterday with her pressies and card. This is the card I made for her, which she thought was beautiful.

The PP is Tea House from Dovecraft and the CS is from stash, puched with my MS punch.

The image is a Digistamp from Mo Manning, when I purchased this all the proceeds were going to a chartity for the Japanese Tsunami. Coloured with my PMs. Isn't she sweet.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the little heart charm is from stash.

I hope you like my wee mum's card.
