The Crazy Challenge

Hello Crafters!

I've been off-the-grid for a week or so as I was away on holiday and would have to have fought a teenager for the laptop, and he's getting sooo big these days that I think he would have easily won!

Over at The Crazy Challenge this week we are being sponsored by Digi Doodles and you can win $10 to spend in their store.

The challenge is to use Embossing on your project, and this is what I made:

I made the card for my mum to send to Canada, as her cousin's daughter is getting married (I think the wedding was last week to be honest). She was going to pay me for it,but as she childminds for me free-of-charge I could hardly be taking money for a card now could I.

The image is from Digi Doodles 'Jr. Bride and Groom'. Aren't they so sweet. I used my Nestie to Emboss round the cut-out.

I also used my 'Dots' Cuttlebug folder to emboss some maroon CS and sanded the dots to make them stand out, before adding the foiled sentiments to the card.

So - come on over to The Crazy Challenge and have a go!! You can also add GDT after your name for a chance to be a guest designer!

Ingredients:

Image: Digi Doodles 'Jr.Bride and Groom'

Medium: Promarkers

Papers: Wild Rose Studio 'Butterfly Garden' and CS from Stash

Embellishments: Foil It and flowers, charm and brads from stash

Summery card for my Cousin

Thought I'd bring a wee bit of summer to my page, since the weather is not bothering to sun-up!

This is a card I have made for my cousin, she is a nanny in Switzerland, so I will have to be extra careful when posting it so it gets there in one piece.

I must say this is one of my favourite cards and it will kill me posting it LOL. Might have to make one to keep myself, kinda cheers me up looking at it.

Coloured with my Promarkers.

Sentiment foiled with pink with my Foil It machine to match the card, it's murder trying to take a photo of this stuff as it is soooo reflective, looks great tho :oD.

My flowers, some Wild Orchid ones, some from my local craft shop. They have Frosted Lace stickles on them, but it hasn't come up to great on the photo.

Ingredients:

Sentiment: Computer generated foiled with Foil It machine

Sugar Nellie's Sugar Bowl!

Hello again. Really enjoying my blog now that it's up and running properly!

This is a card I have made for my Nanna for her birthday, she will be 93 years young! She's not your typical old grannie, so hence the younger style card.

The stamp is a Sugar Nellie stamp - Sitting with Bear by Elisabeth Bell coloured with my Promarkers and the card shaded with chalks (it's sparkly although you can't see it in the picture).  The papers are from Wild Rose Studio (Milton & Co), card stock, flowers and brads from stash.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenge:
