DT card for Desmet Designs -showcase

hello everyone sorry its late but it was payday and asda was calling bypassing the range first lol only bought the £10 goody bag 2 quilling sets at £1 each and some paper flowers that was for the jubilee but i liked them and at £1 im sure ill use them lol.


so unfortunately there is no challenge this fortnight over at Desmet Designs instead we are doing a showcase of marie's 'apple tree cottage' digi.....


so here is what i made...




to make this card i found a nice outdoor image from google and printed it off. i thencoloured the apple tree cottage using promarkers and added it to the scene with the apple tree behind it.

i then printed a bigger apple tree off colouring it with promarkers and added it nearer to the front of the card.

i then added the gold banner across the top adding 'home sweet home' in gold peel off's

i hope you can pop along to desmet and see the fantastic creations the other DT came up with.

i hope you like it :)

promarker holder

hiya how are we all tonight i know its late but didn't have time earlier to post.


there is a challenge over on facebook to make a creation using a tin so here is what i came up with...



so after making my grandad have some peas for his dinner i washed the tin out and glued pink paper around it then adding the big pink and white polka dot ribbon tieing in a knot at the back. i then added some different pink gems around the top only at the front though.


as you can see from the side view i also added a pink tag which i wrote 'pinks' on so i know its for my ink promarkers only lol

all i need to do now is make some more for the rest of my pro markers and also buy some shelves for my bedroom wall.


i hope you like it

NEWS and challenge time over at LEJ Designs.....

hello everyone wow what a wet and miserable morning it is today. its a good job i have some news (good for me and im sure some of you will be happy for me)


the other day i received a message on facebook asking if i wanted to be part of the DT for LEJ designs so after thinking about it for the whole of 2 seconds i jumped at the chance to work with the wonderful DT members.


the theme this week is magical, mystical or mysterious. so i hope you can pop along  to LEJ designs and check out the fantastic work done by all the over lovely DT members and hopefull see some of your lovely creations.

there is not only one but two prizes up for grabs this week firstly the first randomly drawn name will receive 3 digis of there choice from LEJ designs shop and the second name drawn will receive £5 worth of goodies of there choice from crafty emblies store.


so here is my first card i made for them...... 









so i decided to make a tri fold card and went with 'the wonderful life of cinders' the card is made of of orange paper and the colourful striped paper (both from stash) i decided to write my sentiment on a tag and added it using the same orange ribbon as what ties the card together.


on the first side of the card i have used cinders in her dirty rags cleaning. i coloured the image using promarkers cutting round her leaving as small border then placing her on that stripy paper. i then added a few leaves around her feet that she has yet still to sweep!


the middle panel i added the sentiment 'spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly' i know cinders hasn't got wings but i think it was appropriate for the next image of cinders as if you believe you are better then a 'scrubber' then you most defiantly  are.


and here is cinders in her princess dress again i coloured her using promarkers making her hair more brighter. again i cut around her leaving the small border and placing on the stripy backing paper. i then added 2 blue and a pink flower embellishment.


this is the full view of the card and you can see the leaves better on this.

fit for a princess

well today was a very special 5th birthday for a special princess i know. Carly the princess likes purple and butterflies so here is the card and presents i made for her...


This is the card i made for princess Carly as you can see its very purple... i printed the image out and decoupaged it then added purple feathers around the princess. i then added glitter to the castle the princesses dress and flowers in her hair.. i alos adde 4 small butterflies then i punched out on a pale purple card adding a bit of glitter... i also punched the ribbon holes at the top to added the purple and gold ribbon and a big bow at the top left hand corner. 

after this pic was took i also added the sentiment at the top say 'birthday girl'


this is the first present i made for Carly it may seem a bit strange that i made this for a 5 year old but they were moving away so i though it was a good idea but they changed there mind now so but still im sure they will love to see my face everyday lol....

i made this buy printing off the picture of me and Carly and adding it to the frame. i decorated the frame using yep you guessed it purple ribbon and butterflies.




i am entering this in to the following challenges:
sunday challenge:


i then decorated this door hanger for her (didn't make it im not that clever) lol
i decorated it using purple acrylic paint O(looks quite dark though) then added pink beads around the edge of the door hanger and mixed coloured beards to the rest of t.


and finally here is a picture of princess Carly at her party earlier today..
such a princess!!!
