DW- No Designer Papers

Our lovely Sheila has set us a challenge at Dottie's World this week and it's a great one! She wants us to make a card without using any designer papers.

Well Charmed Cards and Crafts have just released a new collection called Meet the Martians so it was the ideal opportunity for me to have a play. Here's what I came up with using one of the delightful alien wrinklies...

Look at the cheeky monkey with his love guns! Thank you to Adam for these fabulous drawings. xx

DW Challenge - Father's Day

It was my turn to set the Dottie's World challenge this week and it was an easy choice because next week it is Father's Day! I love my daddy so I had heaps of fun with this one......

I enjoyed using Karen's fab Easel card tutorial the other week so I had another go. My dad loves golf so I used the Golfing George Digi Download (from Charmed Cards and Crafts of course) and lots of polystyrene balls.....
Please pop on over to Dottie's World for more details and to see what the rest of the team came up with.

Here is what I came up with...

The only absolute rule for the DW challenges is to use a Charmed downloadable image (designed by me! ;)). Here I have used and image from the Sugar n Spice collection, click here to see all our digital downloads.

Here it is with the Boxalope that I made for it. I'm going to give this card to my friend Dawn, for no other reason than to tell her I love her and she is one of my dearest friends ever.

Have a lovely week everybody xxxx

Good morning friends,

I have been away from my Blog for some time due to personal issuses but i am managing to patch my life back together now thank goodness. I sat down to make my Dottie's World challenge card example yesterday but i got a phone call with the most devastating news i think I have ever had. So, here I am with an old card that fits the bill as I am in no state for crafting. Sorry for the depressing post :(

There is a free one off- never seen before digi image on offer for people who play along this week (following the rules) so please get your lovely bums over to Dotties World to check it out.

Dottie's World - Pocket it!

Hello friends,
It's my turn to set the challenge at Dottie's World this week and I've asked people to make a project that has pockets. Here's what i came up with.....




the little bag was made using a K&Co die cut sheet and I simply made a tag to go into the pocket. I added a band at the back to hold money or a voucher, I'm really pleased with the result.

Dottie's World Challenge

Hi Folks!

I'm back from holiday and all refreshed, how is life treating you? Isn't it different what a difference a little sunshine can make!

I come to you this sunny Sunday with my example card for this week's Dottie's World challenge.

Gunn set the challenge this week and she wants us to use the colours Pink, Turquoise and green along with our Charmed download.

Now turquoise is always a funny one to identify, it seems to be a matter of opinion - especially for men...have you noticed that they seem to have some sort of colour blindness going on with blue turquoise and green? !!!

Well I think maybe this week the colour blindness was mine because although the colours looked right when i selected them - now i look at the photo the just don't! My husband came into my work room he looked over my shoulder and said, "What was the colour scheme you had to use? ....blue, purple and green??" Arrrgh!!!!

Ah well, less waffle and more photo......

Hmmmm, see what I mean about the colours? Ah well never mind :)

The papers are from one of my BG pads and the image is one of my earliest digi drawings and it's from the Dottie at Work collection - available from Charmed Cards and Crafts.

Have a great week!
