and the moral of the story is...............

         Derr brain here had wondered why no one from Whiff of Joy had visited my Hippie hippie Birthday post, so getting that nagging feeling I went back firstly to check I had actually entered the challenge and not dreamt it; yep there I was number 8 so what else could it be ? Five minutes of backwards and forwards, check the links there....   Yep,  check the challenge is current....... yep   scratch your head allot , read the rules  da da da da da da daaa,   da da da da da da daaa,  must use a whiff of joy image,   whoops !!!!


So Sorry Girls   won't be making that mistake again

  Love that sketch soooo much just had to be done ; so quickly ordered a digi or two or three and then some stamps  and hey presto!

    

couldn't decide with or without the flash so here's with the flash

Image is a cute little gal called Nora coloured with Promarkers.DP's are Bo Bunny  lace and trims from my stash.

Still not 100 %  might have to make some tweaks but it's to late 2.45 am needing some sleep will link it all up tomorrow

Happy Father's Day

There seems to be loads of men's themed or Father's Day challenges at the moment so I thought I'd use another sketch which I thought would lend itself to a more masculine card. It's from Sweet Sketch Wednesday so I'll just about make it for the end of the challenge LOL

Here's my card

I've used some of the Bo Bunny paper left over from the card I posted this morning.One girly card and one manly card from the same paper!

The image is Mo's of course coloured with Promarkers,

I also have the two ribbons, four buttons and six eyelets needed for the Critters Challenge lol I nearly forgot how to use my cropodile haven't used eyelets for a while

Thanks for taking a look and if you'd like to leave a comment I love to read them hugs Dea xx

Hippie Hippie Horray

I have been desperate to do this fabby sketch since last week but been busy busy. My sons wedding is  looming I've loads to do so knew it had to be today!
 It's designed by Kathrin at the Whiff of Joy Challenge and it's definitely going in my favourite sketch folder

So here's what I made............... Drum roll      da da

  I pick up a real bargain at my local craft shop and these Bo Bunny glittered papers were in a box marked 3 for a euro . They were a bit distress too which is just how I like them ...... perfect.

   The  Saturated Canary image is coloured with Promarkers , paper pierced and distressed . The lace, ribbon, charms, and stick pins are from my stash, and finally I used a couple of little spellbinders dies to embellish

                                              Sure got snap happy with the camera lol

    Hope you love her as much as me .  Thanks for visiting   big hugs Dea  xxxx

Summer lovin' had me a blast

Had this card made last week but didn't post it coz it just needed something............. Sometimes I find if I leave a card I'm not happy with for a few days then come back to it I look at it with fresh eyes and what it needs usually jumps right out at me. A few sea shells and some mega pearls later '' et voila! ''

The image is Mo's coloured with Promarkers and cut out with some dies. Papers are by Papermania distressed and pierced.

 Stamped sea horses and starfish are retired stampin up stamps I've had them ages and will never tire of them. Pearls ribbon and sea shells from my stash

The little cupcake thief!

I hope you've all had a great bank holiday, shame about the weather but it could have been worse.Thank you to those of you who take the time to leave such kind comments I read and truly appreciate them all  : D


 I just adore this naughty little fairy, running off with her big pile of cup cakes and who could blame her they look delish !!

 I love making cupcakes but the trouble is after I've finished licking the bowl , spoon and whisk I feel to sick to eat them;  mind you they still don't last two seconds in our house!

This is one of my one of my favourite mo digi's at the moment but they are all sooo cute how could you decide? I've used Promarkers and glitter on the image, spellbinders dies and Tim Holtz distress inks on the torn paper background.
Fabric flowers , lace,  bling and doilley from my stash.

Strawberry Girl

I haven't been able to post  for a week as I've had a bit of trouble with the pc . But it seems to be behaving tonight so I'll quickly load up a couple of cards I made last week for challenges that are over now lol. I'll see if they are suitable for any challenges  and edit  another time. Hope you are all having a great Jubilee weekend

Picture's a bit dark but managed to get the detail shots alot brighter.

I tried to keep this card simple but the flowers kept spreading hee hee. The really cute image is from Mo's Pencil sketches coloured with Promarkers. Papers are from Digi Scrap Delights her Etsy shop is here.I have hand made the floral roses from the matching paper and the lace flowers too. Other flowers are from my stash.
