DW Challenge - Vintage

Hello Folks,

Hasn't it been a beautiful week! I LOVE IT! It's been very busy at work though, I'll be so glad in two weeks time when I'll have six lovely weeks off.

Today I made my DT card for the Dottie's World challenge. The theme is 'vintage with a summer twist' to be honest I'm not sure if I have achieved either but I had good fun and that's the aim of the game after all! here goes...

I've been itching to use the prince from our new digi collection, do you like him? I think it was a bit of wishful thinking when I drew this one, some day my prince will come...I hope!

DW Challenge Hot it Up!

Hi Folks!

I'm all excited because the new collection of Charmed digital downloads is almost complete! Karen and I have been working super hard on a fabulous bundle of images and sentiments for you. I couldn't wait to give you a sneaky peek (nor could Karen) so this week Karen and I are giving you a preview on our challenge cards.

To find out more about this week's challenge please pop over to Dottie's World

He is my card....

This is one of several 'panel' style images you will find in the new set. I love these because they can be used in a variety of ways. Here I have used it in the most simple way, the picture forms the card - nothing more- nothing less! but very effective don't you think? I filled in the background colour on the computer before printing it out for a nice even finish then coloured the rest by hand. I finished it off with some gems and glitter, super speedy and ever so priddy! even if I do say so myself ;P

Pop over to Dottie's World to see what the rest of the team came up with and for another preview from the new bundle xx

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

Pop over to Dottie's World and play along.

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.
