Birthday boy!

Another card for my Mother-in-law

to give to her great grandson Curtis.

I thought this cute Mo's image would suit him

well for his sixth birthday.

He has been coloured with markers and cut out

to fit onto the spotty background.

I used papers from Nitwits called big top

and I layered up the stars and added some

sentiments along with a die cut 6

for his age.

Happy Monday!

Today I'm sharing a card for my Mother-in-law

to give to one of her Great Granddaughters.

I went with a lovely image from Mo called

let it grow. She has been coloured up with markers.

I used a Nitwits download called Butterfly Kisses

for the papers and embellishments.

It has been finished of with some 

pearlised metalic effect drops.

Tree Books!

I made a little tree decoration for my Grandsons.

The two snowmen and the penguin images are from Dora

and the Santa is from Mo's Digital images.

They have all been coloured with markers.

I made the book using mirri card and inside

there are pages for the boys to write what

they want, what they get. They can also

add New Year wishes and then fill them in

again next year and see how much they have

matured over the year.

I ran the cover through my dotty embossing folder

and added the first letter of each of their names.

I also added some silver twine and a star bead

to hang on the tree and a clear clip

with a tree brad attached to hold it closed.

They only measure 2 1/2" x 2"

so should hang ok on their trees.

Autumn fun!

It's time for my midway post for our

Autumn challenge theme over at

Tag-along (and ATC's).

For this one I used some background paper

from a set I bought years ago from Lidl would you believe!

It is gorgeous papers, partly embossed and sparkled.

So I ran it through my printer with this gorgeous image

from Mo's Digital Designs and printed the sentiment,

dog and leaves.

I then stamped the little dog out on my colouring

card so I could add colour with my markers.

I then cut him out and stuck him on top

of printed area.

I added some colour to the leaves and

finished the tag with some ribbon and a

cute bone brad from my stash.

******************************

For my ATC I just used some scraps from my stash.

I cut my base in deep purple and

ran it through my embossing folder.

I then cut the scraps to fit with

a little hint of gold mirri here in there.

I only had a tiny little big left.

I then stamped and gold embossed the

dragonfly from Dragonfly Garden (SU),

punched it out and stuck in place.

I edged it all in black and added

a black word (Hunkydory).

Rustle, Crunch, Repeat!

Mo's Digital Images had a sketch challenge for

this lovely Patreon freebie so I had to have a go at it.

The image is just adorable and it comes with the

gorgeous background papers.

It's called 'leaves n biscuits'.

I paired it up with a paper pack from Nitwits

called Tailwags.

I used an old leaf punch to add some leaves

and the sentiment is also free with the image

so punched it out and layered it up

with an added paw print.

Perfect little autumn buddy!

He has been coloured up with my markers.

Retire to the garden

Happy Monday!

I had a busy weekend as we were revamping my craft room.

It was long overdue and still a work in progress lol.

But nice to get organized and get rid of rubbish.

This card was made for a teacher's retirement

and she is destined for the garden lol.

So I thought this lovely image from Mo's Digital Pencil

called Eileen, would be ideal for her.

The papers I used are from Nitwits called

Porch Swing.

I printed off the papers and all the embellishments.

She has been coloured with markers.
