Good morning everyone, I'm here today with a make for the Polkadoodles challenge.

I have used the Skateborder image from the Work and Play 11 collection. The image is also available on it's own HERE. I have coloured him with my Prisma pencils. All the papers, embellies and borders are also from the same collection.

Happy Birthday to me

Good morning blogland, I know I'm not normally here on a Wednesday but today is a rather special Wednesday. "Why is that?" I hear you ask, well it is my birthday! Yep I'm another year older, not sure about the wiser bit though! lol So today will be spent eating strawberries and ice cream, drinking champers, listening to my favourite tunes of the moment, that will be Olly Murs, Robbie Williams and Meghan Trainor. And maybe doing to odd bit of crafting!!!

Anyhoo to celebrate this rather special day the fabulous Nikky Hall has been really generous and given me a CD to give away! So up for grabs today is the Work & Play Collection 8 - Feel The Music and it is the BONUS edition.

This CD is crammed to the brim with so much loveliness, there's sure to be more than one person you know who would love to receive a card or home decor item made with this. Here are a few things I have made with the same collection.

See you can go pink and girly or grungy for the lads!

So what do you have to do to be in with a chance to win this? 

1st I'd like for you to follow my blog, and then to follow the Polkadoodles and Digi Choosday blogs. Also you need to live in the UK. And finally leave me a comment below this post. It's as simple as that. I'll leave this to run for a month to give everyone a chance to enter and then I'll announce the winner here. So be sure to pop back and check to see if it is you!

Things with Wings

Good morning all. It's time for some mid challenge inspiration at the Polkadoodles challenge blog. The challenge that started last week is "Things With Wings" and here is my make:

I have used the Sugarplum Daisy CD to create this card. I chose a background and then placed a house, a tree and a butterfly over it. I then printed all the elements out a few times and fussy cut them to create some decoupage.

I love this CD as it's crammed full of lusciousness which is often forgotten about.

Not a square card

Good morning all, today there is a new challenge starting over at Polkadoodles, and that challenge is to make anything but a square card.
Here is my make:

I used a Tattered Lace die to create the card shape and mats and layers. The backing paper is from the Work and Play collection 2. I have used the lovely Rose stamp set from one of the Pen and Paper circle mags. I stamped one of the foliage stamps around the paper to create a border. I stamped the rose onto some patterned paper from the Work and Play collection 2 four times and cut out and used foam pads to give it dimension. I then stamped the leaves onto some paper from the same collection and cut and mounted those onto 3D foam too. I then stamped the sentiment from the stamp set and matted it onto some more of the paper.

Here is a close up of the rose to show the 3D.

I'm entering this into the following challenge:

Ribbons and Lace

Good morning bloggers. Are you ready for the weekend? It's very nearly here, so let's hope it's a bright and beautiful one for you. It will be for me as I'm currently sunning myself in Egypt! Sorry!
Well on with my make for this weeks new challenge over at Polkadoodles. The theme we have for the next two weeks is Ribbon and Lace. Here is my make:

It started out life as a plain MDF tag that I got at a craft show last year. To start with I painted over it all with white gesso to give it a base. I then covered it in paper from the Dollie Daydream Goes East Collection. I then added some faux stitching around the edges and then painted over it with Iridescent Paste to give it some shimmer. I then coloured an image from the Candy Doodles Collectors Edition CD using my Graph'It Markers. I added a flower from the Dollie Goes East CD and some lace and ribbon from  my stash.

All Things Kraft!

Good morning all, I'm here today with a mid challenge inspiration post for the Polkadoodles challenge blog. The challenge which started last week is "All Things Kraft"
I knew straight away I wanted to use the Double Sprinkles Of Kraft CD rom, as I love Kraft myself so adore this CD. Here is my make:

The image is a pre-coloured one which we tend to forget are on the CD's these days. The blue hearts I have cut out from the backing paper which was left over after making the card. The Kraft heart is from a Tattered Lace die and the sentiment is from Dutch Doobadoo.. I used the Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink around the edges of everything and then added faux stitching with the Graph'It Shake white marker pen.
