Get Funky - April Showers

Get Funky April challenge is "April showers" I kept thinking about the 4 seasons and decided to design my card around them. I used papers from "Dreams come true", I cut out the flowers from the "Just happy" collection for Summer, Winter came from "Blue Magic", Autumn from "Kidding around" and Spring from "Sticky Lemons". I added the glittery letters from my stash.

Polkadoodles - Animal Challenge

This weeks challenge on Polkadoodles is "Animal", i mulled over lots of papers i had printed out from Candy doodles, Paper boutique and back to nature and decided to make a dog house and tie it into a new house card. Trying to make life difficult i thought i would have a bash at making a round easel card - not as hard as i thought it was going to be. The animal i have included is the dog from Candy Doodles which i have modeled on my dog Molly (including her white paws), i used promarkers and white glitter and a glossy accent nose - cute!!!

Polkadoodles week 11 challenge

Well I've been busy over the weekend making a variety of crafty delights - I've got so many birthdays and special days coming up i thought that i would make a start. I couldn't resist the sketch challenge at Polkadoodles, I made a little gift bag from the "Paper Boutique" cd rom, following the sketch on the front of the bag. I embellished with a papers and toppers also from paper boutique and a few ribbons from my stash, oh and some brown glitter.

Dunblane Craft Fair 7th March 2010

This is my niece Stephanie, my crafty assistant helping me out at the Dunblane craft fair on Sunday 7th March. Most of the cards on the day were made using the polkadoodles "Back to nature" cd rom which i love. I got loads of really good comments about my cards - i managed to sell most of them! It keeps the bank manager happy.

Get Funky Challenge march

This months Get Funky challenge was Girls, Girls, Girls - not being particularly girly myself I wasn't sure what I was going to attempt. I recently bought the Polkadoodles "Paper boutique" cd rom which has some fab card templates, I decided to use the star cake template.

I used the very pink range of papers "Friday night out" from Funkydaze cd rom. I embellished the card with lilac glitter, purple stars and glitter pen and some pale pink satin ribbon.

Hopefully its girly enough!!!

I have also just got the new papercraft factory "dreams come true" cd rom from Funky Hand - its fab!!! great decision to give us the choice of colour scheme/ font colour for the word books.

PolkaDoodles week 7 challenge

I've used the birdie backing paper, stampie topper and flowers from Candy Doodles and added some co-ordinating lime green/orange satin/organza ribbon, very very bright - but funky!!!
