CHRISTMAS WITH THE CUTIES ARE " IN THE PINK "

 Hello there my lovely blog chums......hope you've had a lovely weekend. 

Something of an exciting one here, as we went to pick up my new car on Saturday morning......I had a little red Seat Mii, which had started to develop a few issues so hubby had decided that we'd trade her and now I have a Dacia Sandero...this was all very nice, but it also gave us the opportunity to stop off for lunch at one of my favourite garden centres - at the moment they have  wonderful Christmas displays (I have my eye on a few of the Christmas Village ornaments) so I am hoping to get over there in a  week or so and take Mum for a run out too.

Anyway, on the subject of lovely Christmas stuff....it is time for a new challenge at 

Christmas with the Cuties 

and our theme is 

IN THE PINK 

We have two fabulous sponsors 

And

So that's two chances to win an amazing prize!

We love to see pretty pinks on Christmas cards, so we do hope that you will hop on over and play along.

For my own DT card I am using a favourite of mine, this swet carolling mousie from LOTV. I am using Promarkers to colour, and I fussy cut this digi and attached to a tag die cut, which I had embossed with Swiss Dots folder from Cuttlebug. I also used a little off cut at the top of a Doodlebug paper. The sentiment is a stamp, for a change, from a Penny Black set. The dp is a magazine freebie download, which I edited in serif page plus to change the colour tone, to match. I added a panel in the middle to cover a little ink smudge, which I think I got away with!!!! Finally added enamel dots from YNS  to complete.

Make It Cute, with PASSION FOR MARKERS

 Hello there my lovely blog chums....hope this finds you keeping well. I have a little cough/cold going on which seems to be doing the rounds at the moment. Hopefully it will shift soon and until then I will continue plastering myself with Vicks!!!

Anyway,  its new challenge day at PASSION FOR MARKERS 

and Elaine has set the theme of 

"Make It Cute"

Our lovely sponsors are 

Who, also very kindly provided some adorable images for the team to work with. I am a massive fan and I was delighted to use Little Gardener - she is so sweet and I love the wee neckerchief on the dog. I am using Promarkers for my colouring. The floral paper, was floating around in my remnants box, so I'm unsure of its brand. The curly....or I would call it fluffy...cloud, is a Paper smooches die cut. Its one of those that cuts an outline, but I find running it through the big shot just the once, enables me to keep the inside in place too, which is another nice way to use this die. Again, I have used my new corner dies  - I can see these becoming a regular addition to my cards! Oooh, I also stamped a little sentiment onto the digi image, to complete.

Down on the Farm with The Cuties

 Hello there, my lovely bog chums....I hope you had a lovely weekend. It was a fairly - and much needed quiet one here!

So its time for a new challenge, today, with The Cutie Pies, and our theme is

DOWN ON THE FARM

We would like to see your cutest, farm yard characters featuring on your cards - animals, maybe the farmer, or how about a scarecrow - we will leave it to your imagination, but we cant wait to see your cards.

For my own  DT card I couldn't resist printing off one of my fave oldies from, Digistamp Boutique. I am using Promarkers to colour. This paper combo comes from "My Favourite Things" and I thought the plaid design, particularly was very apt for the theme. I decided to add a little detail with a label die cut in half and a tiny flower added. I had also recently found a pack of corner dies, reduced to a £1, obviously I couldn't leave it there at that price and I certainly couldn't wait to try it out.

I would like to enter these challenges, please:

Santa and Rudolph

 Hello there my lovely blog chums.....hope all is well with you!

I'd had a few days booked off from work, and we had planned to book a last minute little holiday in Devon. However, given the recent petrol situation, especially here in the South East,  we decided to postpone this trip until next year. We were a bit disappointed,  of course,  but I've busied myself today, at my craft desk. I had a lovely afternoon colouring,  preparing a DT card, and made another Christmas card for my box.

This lil' sweetie is a Wild Rose Studio stamp, coloured with Promarkers. I am using a couple of remnants from my scrap box, die cut into a square and pennant. I added a festive sentiment to complete.I used the sketch shown below, as my design for this card.

I would like to enter these challenges please:
