Here's another lil' cutie from the Rollcal set by The Greeting Farm via Dies to Die For The oval card is distressed with Antique Linen and stickled, and there are more stickles on the star I'm entering this into the current Create4fun Challenge which is another colour challenge, this time red, white and blue. The blue bp and card are from stash, the spotty red is from the MME 'Quite Contrary' pack that was free with a mag this summer. I used a Martha Stewart doily punch to give a bit of interest. Ribbon is from stash - I am loving the bow-maker, as I'm sure you can tell! Ok, time for bed. Thanks for looking! luv, Mags x Promarkers: Blush. Dusky Pink, Pastel Pink; Vanilla, Tulip Yellow, Gold; Lipstick Red, Azure

This little lad is so sweet! He's from The Greeting Farm, part of a set that I got from Dies to Die For The papers are Nitwits eerie-sistable too . I'm really getting into digital papers, as you can see! I'm going to enter this for the Anyone for Anya challenge which this week is a colour challenge of green, blue and brown. The card candy is Paperchase, from stash, and the brown ribbon for the bow came from a sweater! I always cut those ribbons off so I can recycle them on cards! Thanks for looking! luv, Mags x Promarkers: Blush, Dusky Pink, Pastel Pink; Cinnamon, Cocoa, Burnt Sienna; Lush Green, Denim Blue

This is for Pollycraft Monday Challenge where the theme is Autumn Colours. Image is from the Critters and Cogs digi set. Text is The Greeting Farm Papers are Bearly Mine for the orange background and Nitwits for the yellow patterned strip (Harvest Delights too) Promarkers: Vanilla, Honeycomb, Burnt orange. Green card for matting and everything else from stash. Sorry about fly-by post, I have a fish pie in the oven! Thanks for looking luv, Mags x

It has taken me forever to make this card! Every time I settled down to craft this afternoon I was interrupted. The phone. My neighbour (though that was a nice interruption, because we had a cuppa). The postie. The phone. A man selling stuff. The phone. You know what it's like! Some days you just can't start making a card! I persevered! I ordered pizza! This is the result. The lovely sketch is by Dawny P at Just Magnolia Challenge 72 Papers and gems are from stash (I'm trying very hard to use up my stash before it takes over the house!) I used Promarkers, and glittered Tilda's lace and the middle of the flowers in her hair. The sentiment is PB. I cut out the image (she is sooo cute!) and raised her on foam pads for some dimension. Thanks for looking! Night night! luv, Mags x Promarkers: Vanilla, Tulip Yellow, Gold, Mint Green, Blush, Dusky Pink, Pastel Pink, Orchid, Powder blue, Amethyst

I love this sweet bear, talking to a little bird in a field full of summer flowers! The stamp is Stampavie and I found it at Quixotic Paperie I only wish the colours had come out a bit brighter in my photo! The challenge for this week's Just Cute Bears is a photo of a peacock: Isn't that gorgeous! I picked out the blues, greens, dark pink and brown colours, and the texture of the tendrilly bits on the tail feathers. Papers are: Lilac mottled card from stash; Basic Grey Porcelain; DCWV (I think - it was loose in my paper drawer); and a scrap from a magazine. Sentiment is Penny Black. Apart from stickles on the image I left off any embellies: I wanted the papers to be clear, and also the A6 card is a bit small for anything elaborate! It's also for Early Birds, the Toddler Group where I work, and I don't want a little sweetie to eat something she shouldn't! Thanks for looking! luv, Mags x Recipe: Promarkers: Vanilla, Honeycomb; Duck Egg, Cocktail Pink, Antique Pink, ...

It's another digi image! I'm getting the hang of these, I hope. It's so helpful to have a daughter or son to explain the mysteries of the digital age! This is for Pollycraft Monday Challenge whose theme is 'In Stitches.' The image is from Pollycraft's Critters and Cogs set which I think is brilliant for boys, girls and Science Fiction fans like my hubby! The stitching is doodled, so I hope it counts! I like the effect round the image and sentiment, it gives a nice defined outline without being fussy. Hubby smiled when he saw this card, so it's not triggered his 'I Don't Do Cute' Meter. Go, me!! Iused Promarkers: Leaf Green, Lush Green, Tulip Yellow and Gold. The star has been stickled and the card candy is from Paperchase - originally I was going to use star shaped jewels, but because the recipient will be under 3 I had better thoughts! Paper is Daisy Bucket 'My Little Monsters' which came in a special offer pack from Dies To Die For w...
