These cuties are from Whimsy Stamps as is the sentiment which made me smile. The papers are from Basic Grey, Green at Heart. The sketch I followed is this week's Sketch Saturday so this card covers two challenges.

My favourite things

This was the challenge at Passion for Promarkers this week. The games console is one of my favourite things - not because I play it but because when my boys play it I get peace and quiet and the chance to indulge in crafty time!!! :0)
the image is Lili Of The Valley, isn't he cute. He is of course coloured with Promarkers. The papers are Basic Grey, can't remember which collection offhand. Cardstock is SU.
The layout is from this week's Sketch and Stash challenge but I have rotated it to make the image fit.
Thanks for visiting and for any comments you may leave

Promarker Challenge take two!

Stooopid old me used the sketch for this week's challenge correctly but as well as the sketch the card was to have a "male" theme. My sweet little girl on her trike didn't really fit so I have made another card for the challenge using an image from the Boy oh Boy collection from Charmed Cards and Crafts. I remember having one of those space hoppers - long time ago when I was fit enough to bounce around on one!!
The papers are Basic Grey Ambrosia.

I do love my Promarkers!!!

This week's challenge at Passion for Promarkers was a sketch. I have used the gorgeous Bye Bye image from Mo Manning for my card. The papers are My Mind's Eye, La Paperie. I just got a huge pad of these beautiful papers, thanks Rach for alerting me to them. Have yet to add a sentiment but will do that once I decide who to give the card to.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a had a nice Father's Day

In The Pink

Pink Birthday is the challenge over at Passion for Promarkers this week. I've used pink roses and embellies as well as papers with pink in them, I hope that is enough to qualify. This card also uses this week's sketch challenge over at Midnight Madness and meets Mo's Digital Pencil challenge of merging images. The images are both by Mo and I eventually managed to merge two of them. Sizing is a bit out I think so more practice required. The images are Jill and Toby Two and are coloured with Promarkers of course.I think Jill has had enough of Toby's tantrums don't you? Actually, I think she is in a huff at reaching a BIG birthday(like a friend of mine is soon lol!)
Papers are Basic Grey Bittersweet, a gorgeous collection of pinks and chocolates. The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

A challenging Sunday!!!

I decided after making my way through the ironing that I would put a couple of cards together. The images I coloured during the week. My first card covers two challenges - the sketch is this week's Friday Sketchers and the Passion for Promarkers challenge was "books". The gorgeous image is Harvard by the uber talented Mo Manning. I have coloured him with my Promarkers and have tried some new colours and techniques for the skin tone following some tuts on the Passion for Promarkers blog. I wasn't too sure about it- what do you think? The papers are Basic Grey Lime Rickey. My eldest son wants this card for his teacher at the end of term, which is only a few weeks away in Scotland.


The second card is for Karen's Doodles challenge which is "distressed" this week. I have used "Tea with Grandma" and coloured the image with Promarkers before blending in some Distress Inks in Antique Linen and Tumbled Glass. All edges were distressed with my TH distressing tool and inked with a brown chalk ink pad.The paper flower was made with my medium Retro punch and the rose was distressed with the chalk ink as well.The papers are from a mixture of pads.
I hope you like my efforts and thank you for visiting. All comments are much appreciated.
