Scrappers Delights, Emma & Michael's DT cards

Afternoon my dear blogger friends..

It is time for one of my favorite blog post's of the month.

My wonderful childrens DT post for Scrappers Delights.

This month they choose to work with the new images of out favorite dragon, Draco.

He is a favorite of everyone in this house, and even Emma begged me to work with him. I had originally picked a girly image for her to work with, but she gave me those little puppy eyes that mamma cant say no to lol... So I get the girly image for next week and she got draco...

Here is their cards for this month:

Emma:

Michael:

For some reason, they both went for blue??? Michael decided to colour Draco in red. Amazing how similar the cards really are... they were sitting in seperate craftrooms when they made the cards...

Hope you all like their card, they look forward to read all your comments

Thank you for stopping by.

Craftymess Challenge "X-mas with non traditional colours"

Morning blogger friends

and

THANK YOU for stopping by.

It is today that the new challenge over on Craftymess challenge blog.

The theme for this challenge is : drumroooool lol

Christmas, with NON traditional colours...

When I first saw the theme I thought, WOW that was early, but truthfully, as many of you will agree, its never to early to start your christmas cards. I make about 60 christmas cards a year, so that works out at more then one a week. So for me, this challenge is a good way to pull out the christmas stach and get started. And now that I have it out, Ill be making a few more, just to get ahead of myself.

Here is my DT card for this challenge:

 I used an old paper pack from god knows where, but never fails. The papers are acctually more purple then blue, but its hard to see on the picture. I stamped my favorite christmas stamp, added a bit of colour and glitterglue and matted. The little flags are just little strips I cut out and shaped with a bonefolder and attached with pinflair. The little dot boarder, is made using a white gelpen.

Hope you all like my card, and I look forward to see all your creations for the challenge.

THANK YOU for stopping by

Stamping Dragon Design, DT Card

Morning my dears...

It is Friday YEAH... for me, that means 2 things..

1. Hubby is coming home tonight, YEAH 

2. its time for my project for

Stamping with the dragon

This week is for inspiration as we already have a challenge going here. Pop over for all the details as things are a slight bit different for this challenge. All is explained over there so wont do it here...

For our inspiration weeks, we, the DT get to choose anything from the store that we wish, to work with.

This week I choose something a bit different, a frame.

I had big plans for it, but when time came to do a project, nothing came together. In the end, hubby helped me on my way and I came up with this card.

 

I love this frame, and its one that I could see myself using over and over again. It would look fab printed bigger just used on its own, or as an element on a scrap page. The flowers could also be made into decoupage, or it could be decorated with even more flowers. the possibilities are endless with this one.

All I did was print the frame and colour with promarkers. I then cut it out and mounted onto a piece of purple cardstock that i distresed with a sanding block. The heart is diecut from black card stock and I just added the entiment in the middle.

To finish off, I used my trusted glitterglue to jazz it all up a bit.

Hope you all like my card, and THANK YOU for any comments left. They really do make my day.

BIG HUGS to everyone, Marleen xxx

Scrappers Delights DT card.

Good Morning blogger friends..

Its tuesday and for me, that means it's time for another card using the FAB digi's from

Scrappers Delights.

Current Challenge here, theme: May flowers...

Here is my card for this week using the digi called Tears of a clown.

I coloured the image using Promarkers. The papers are a freebie from the Creativity club over on http://www.docrafts.com. (you have to be a member to get your hand on them im affraid).

I distressed the papers with distress ink and then roughed up all the edges. I tied a bow, added the charm and the pins. The faux stiches are made with a brown fine liner, and finished of with a few gems.

Hope you all like my card, and THANK YOU for stopping by.
