any sentiment at Aud Sentiments

Yep, its week two of our "use any sentiment" challenge at AUD SENTIMENTS, so that means its time for the Team B cards, and as you can see this is my DT card. This fabby image came from our lovely sponsors, and I do have to say that she was a little treat to colour!

the gorgeous gingham was a freebie download from Bev Rochester's blog, the dotty paper came from a Fizzy Moon paper stack and the buttons and ribbon are from a local haberdashery.

So hop on over if you'd like to join in, and also come and check out some more fab dt cards and meet the rest of our new teamies!!

Its all about dies and punches.....

Hi all, hope you've all had a lovely weekend....how gorgeous is this weather!!! Yesterday I painted my front garden fence, once of my sheds and wallpapered one of my lounge walls, a busy old day but there is stuff I wanted to get done as im off on my jollies soon!

Anyway, enough ramble and onto todays Cutie Pie challenge, and this time we'd like to have a nosey at the yummy dies and punches that we all love!

For my DT card I have used this adorable H&S image, coloured with promarkers, the polka dot paper is from a paper stack that I found in The Works. So for my dies and punches I have used: Go Kreate circular and scalloped circular dies, X cut border punch, woodware flower punch and a Nellie Snellen label die.

Our sponsors for this challenge are

use any sentiment and come and meet our new teamies

Our theme for the next challenge at Aud Sentiments is a nice and easy "use any sentiment", we are also unveiling our lovely shiny new DT peeps, so we'd love you to pop on over, say Hi and join in.....I will be back with my DT card next thursday.

Hope you're all having a fab week and enjoying this glorious weather....do hope it lasts! Major case of the boohoo's here last night from myself and Megan as we sniffed our way through the season finale of Glee. My gorgeous girl is now counting down the days till the boxed set comes out!!!

Im still here....just!!

Hi all, well it has been a busy old week with work and the ongoing  redecorating of my lounge, so not had an awful lot of time to craft this week, did manage to squeeze a little bit of time in earlier in the week and made two dt cards for forthcoming challenges and this card..............

how cute is this LOTV stamp.....just adorable, as always have coloured with the promarkers, I really like using blue and beige together, the gingham paper is a freebie download from Bev Rochesters incredible blog, made the sentiment using tempus sans font and rounded off the corners to create tab effect and added a few extra bits and bobs.

Hope the fair weather we enjoyed yesterday will hold out for this morning at least, as hubby is working today, so im planning on swapping the pasting brush for the lawnmower. Only managed to ger my front done last weekend but the grass in my back garden is like shin high..........and I've only got short, little legs so this is not good for me, lol! Im raring to go and crack on with it now, but im thinking that at 7am, my neighbours might not appreciate it!!!!

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:
I Iovepromarkers - anything goes

Hi to you all from my wet and miserable corner of Kent.

Ho, hum, so I cant get green fingers today, I guess i'll just have to stop in and craft instead!!

Aud Sentiments........DT call and anything goes!

I posted last week to tell you all about our DT call and anything goes challenge at aud sentiments and this week its time to share team B wonderful and gorgeous cards with you all. This challenge is sponsored by Wild Rose Studio, who also very kindly gave us these wonderful images to work with, so this is my DT card:

The image is called Kitty Picnic and is from the new Annabelles Meadow range. This was coloured with promarkers and a little bit of stardust stickles on the flowers. I found this super yummy paper amongst my mum's stash, but we dont recall the name of it (pity, I'd like more of this!!), sentiments created myself (used tempus sans font), flowers, pearls, ribbon and the hat charm are from stash, the swirly frame thingy was a donated label die that I cut in half (just to see what it looked like!). Am loving using the old Kraft paper at the mo, it just seems to give a different feel to the card.

I would also like to enter this into these challenges:
little darlings.......flowers
paper pretties......flowers
papertake weekly.........anything goes
forever friends.........flowers
the pink elephant.........spring time

Just wanted to close by saying a farewell to the teamies that are standing down from Aud Sentiments, its been wonderful working with you all, thank you for making me welcome when I was the newbie and I wish you all well xx
