Creative Craft Challenge Card - Here Comes The Bride

Gosh it's been ages since I've posted anything!!! I've been without the Internet for so long it was like I'd lost a part of me. I'm now back online so hopefully will get back to normal with my postings.

This fortnights challenge over at Creative Craft Challenge is "Here comes the bride" and there is a mystery prize for the winner.

Here's my design team card for the challenge and I have used a gorgeous Hanglar image that I received from one of the members over at the docrafts forum. It's been coloured with copics and the DP's are from a Create & Craft paper pack that I picked up as a freebie the last time I went to Hobbycraft at the NEC (I do buy crafty bits...honest, it's just coincidence that the image and papers were freebies!!!!)

Missing In Action & exciting news !!!!!

Just a quick post to show that I haven't disappeared from the face of the earth. I have been busy moving house and that just happened to fall at the same time as going to see Bon Jovi at the O2 Arena in London (twice - once is never enough!!!), so things are a bit hectic at the moment.

But I do have some exciting news which is that when I finally managed to get round to checking my emails I had received an offer from Creative Craft Challenges to join their DT!!! So have quickly had to unpack a few of my crafty bits and pieces in preparation.

Haven't got a card to post yet so instead you will have to make do with a couple of my pictures from the O2. I've seen Bon Jovi about 20 times but these were the best shows ever!! (I probably say that every time!! lol)

Papertake Weekly Challenge - Sparkly Ladybug

The past four weeks have gone by so quick so here is my last card as part of the GDT over at Papertake Weekly. The theme this week is shiny/sparkly.

I have used the new CC Designs stamp " Ladybug Nora" coloured with copics. The DP's are a mixture of Papermania "Henbury Lane" paper pack (Pink dots) and DCVW "Nana's Kids" mat stack(Ladybugs).

You can't really tell by looking at the picture but the dots on the pink paper are all glittered, the ladybug paper is glittered and so is the green scalloped circle and if that wasn't enough I also added lots of gems. You can never have too much "bling"!!

I'm entering this in the following challenges:

• Totally Gorjuss - Pink & Green
• Stamp Something - Birthday something

It's sponsored this week by Sassy Studio Designs and I have used one of their images - Little Honey - Mad Hatter coloured with copics, The DP's are Papermania.

I've scheduled this post for about one o'clock so when this appears online I should be out enjoying the sunshine somewhere (If the sun come out!!!) - I'm on holiday this week - can't decide what to do so I don't know where we'll end up!!

I'm So Distressed

I don't do distressing very often and I think I got a bit carried away with it on this card.

I have used the Mo's Digital Pencil images "First Mate Kate" and "Pirate Stuff" coloured with copics. The DP's are from the Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby paper stack.

I've used Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink and then Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls on the paper edges and lace and then went a bit over the top with my distress tool.


I'm entering this in the following challenges:

• Quixotic Challenges - Distressing
• Stampavie and more - Distressing

Now I'm off to enjoy May Day - Mountain Ash Crafts have an event on so that sounds like an excuse to visit and then perhaps lunch at the adjoining vineyard, hopefully it's not going to rain!!
