Cowgirl's Sunday Stampin Up Challenge - GDT

Good Morning All, It's my pleasure to be Guest Designer for the month of August over at

Cowgirl's Sunday Stampen' Challenge.

This week the theme is Animals /Bugs. I was given this real cool sassy image to work with, his name is Dolby and he is a brand new release available Here along with all the other new animal/bug releases.

I've used my pro markers to colour him. The backing paper is Basic Grey, the sentiment is computer generated, a little wooden button, some string and you have the perfect male card.

Our sponsor this week is Whimsy Stamps who have a great selection of digital images within their store along with some fantastic other rubber stamps and goodies.
One lucky entrant this week will have the choice of choosing 5 digital images.



The Top 3 will receive 1 rubber stamp image of their choice from CJ along with the new designed blinkie to proudly display on their Blogs.

Do please pop over and take a look at the wonderful creations the Design Team have come up with for you this week.

I look forward to visiting you all this week to see your gorgeous creations.

Bye for now - see you all later.

Tilda in Green + Challenges

Good Morning, It's a bright sunny start to the day here, I do hope it lasts. I'm off to a craft show later on this morning where they are introducing all the new Xmas stash that will be around this year. It's the last day of July and we are thinking of Xmas already in the crafting world. Not sure I'll be buying much, I have loads left over from last year.

Here is my little card made for a few challenges that have inspired me this week. The lovely Tilda, I think most people love her, so so cute. I followed the sketch this week from Friday Sketchers and the colour theme came from Passion for Promarkers, the MS heart border punch used will make it eligible for 2 sisters and Doodle Shops best Challenges.

Prairie Fairy Fun Fridays - A 3d Creation

Good Afternoon my Friends, Well TGIF, I've had a trying week with sick Grandchildren, unexpected visitors, my DH who is not very well, I've been running around like a chicken without it's head. On top of all that I had 5DT projects and 1 GDT project to complete for this week. I'm just so glad the week for me is over.

Anyway I digress!!! It's Friday and that means there is another wonderful challenge over at
Prairie Fairy Fun Fridays. The theme for this week is a 3d project. I know mine could be classed as altered art, which I suppose it is, but to me 3d means anything raised or jutting out of the project.

I bought three of these 10" x 10" canvases, they cost me £1.00 for the three of them, about 50 cents, I was going to hang them in the kitchen but they didn't match the colour scheme so I decided to use them to make myself some Christmas wall hangings, I love decorating my home at Christmas time.


The image I've used is Roberta's beautiful Sugarplum Fairies (available HERE) , aren't these girls adorable, I love how they are giving and receiving the sugarplum gift. Anyway I printed them out 4 times, used promarkers for the skin tones and the hair, and then two different contrasting papers to paper piece their dresses. The rest of the recipe is below this post.

You MUST go visit Fairy Fun Friday and see the absolutely beautiful projects my friends on the DT have created for you this week, they are astonishing and I am so proud to be working with these very talented ladies.

Thank you for popping in to visit, I do hope you enjoyed your stay and I look forward to reading your comments on my little creation.

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge 61 - Hot n Spicy DT card

Good Morning my Lovelies, It's time for another challenge over at C.R.A.F.T. this week and the them is - wait for it -..................... HOT 'N' SPICY - wow hows that for a theme. We want to see those flaming pinks, oranges, sultry browns with maybe a little lime thrown in. I've used a fab DP but I don't know it's name or maker, I won it from Pile it on challenge ages ago and was waiting for a project that was just right. This theme is ideal for it. I've used the gorgeous Fleur Anya with her pretty flowers in her hair, I've tried to pick up on the colours of the DP with my promarkers, It's quite a good match don't you think.

Our sponsor this week is the lovely Rosemary Merry's 'Crabapple Crafts' who I'm sure will have a wonderful prize up for grabs from her amazing store. Rosemary is appearing yet again on QVC with some new releases all through August ( The dates are on CRAFT main blog page.

Do pop over and take a peek at the wonderful designs my friends on the DT have created for you this week. They are an amazing bunch of girls.

K.K's Movie Star

Hi Friends, It's been ages and ages since I made a card specifically for a challenge, I do enter challenges but they are based on my DT cards/projects for that week.

It's my Great Niece's 16th Birthday soon and I was going through my stamps and digi images to see what I could find for her. She is not into sweet or cutie, she is a Sassy 16yr old with attitude. So I went browsing the net to try and find something, look what I found - the perfect image from Kenny K.

She is called Movie Star and is ideal for my purpose. I used promarkers to colour her, the Hair is actually French Navy and not black as in the picture. I used Kaban DP's and DCWV texture card for the background. The purple and dark blue embellies on the corners are actually stud earring and I just cut off the studs. The little green sticks are wooden coffee stirrers, I cut them and coloured with lime green promarker. The sentiment is from Create with TLC. I finished it off with prima flowers and a few gems.

Thank for popping in to see me, hope you enjoyed your visit..

Creative Inspirations Challenge - Anything Goes

Good morning everyone, I am so late in posting my DT card for Creative Inspirations Challenge today. It was scheduled, but blogger must have forgotten!!!! again.

This fortnight the theme is Anything Goes, so there is no excuse for not joining us. We were all very fortunate to be given a few of Whimsy images to work with and mine is called Great Day to Fish by Chrissie Armstrong. They certainly are a cute if not an unusual couple. I've coloured them with Promarkers and used K&Co hopscotch papers. The little fishes are printed out from clip art, cut them out and stuck them to the appropriate place on the card. It's a great source, if you need little embellishments that you don't have in your stash box. You will find it in your Word program on the computer.

We are being sponsored this challenge by Whimsy Stamps who are giving one lucky winner $15.00 to spend in their on line store. Do pop over and take a peek.

That's all for now folks, I will be back later with my second DT card.

See you all soon.

Hugs to you all, if you were close enough I'd crack open a bottle of wine and a box of choccie's .

Thank you girls. Hugs Suzi xx

Double Trouble - my boys

Good Morning, I hope you are all having a great start to the week, as some of you already know I have 6yr old twin Grandson's Aaron & Ross, well , when I saw this image I just had to have it. Isn't it the most adorable twin image you've ever seen. It's one of CJ's over at Cowgirl stampin' up and I've used it to enter a few challenges, I wanted to add some flowers . Mmmm.... not appropriate for a couple of wee boys.

But I got round it by making the flowers out of string and adding some star buttons. I platted some string to make the other embellishment. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

The recipe for the card is at the bottom of the page. The challenges I'm entering are:

1. Cowgirl's Sunday Challenge: I followed the fab sketch and the colour combo of added turquoise, red or pink. (I've gone for turquoise green)

2. Paper Cutz Challenge: Are looking for a Cowboy/Western theme this week

3. Totally Papercrafts Challenge: have a recipe of 1 image, 2 papers, 1 ribbon and three embellishments

4. Cards For Men Challenge: Also have a recipe this week of 1 image, 2papers, 3 embellishments.

Christmas in July + challenges

Hello again Friends, I wanted to show you the card I've been working on for a few days now.
The sketch over at Midnight Madness MMSC62 started it all off, as soon as I saw it I thought Christmas, and that's what it's become. I have to thank Cheryl Walker for her fab tutorial on how to make Rosettes and Rose buds from ribbon.

I've used a wonderful image called Sitting Pretty from Prairie Fairy Designs. Isn't she adorable.

There were a few other challenges that inspired this creation, so I am entering her into the following challenges:

1 Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge: (MMSC62) I followed the wonderful sketch.

2. Fab n Funky Challenge: Would like to see Xmas in July

3. Winter Wonderland Challenge: Would like an angel and some glitter, I'm not sure this will qualify although I think she is very Angelic she is actually a Fairy.

One Stop Craft Challenge- 89 - A Splash of Colour DT Card

Good Morning my Dears, I do hope the sun is shining where ever you are, if it is then can you please send some to me. It's been raining and very windy now since Wednesday, and I do miss those lovely sunny mornings.

Never mind maybe our theme over at One Stop Craft Challenge will cheer us all up. It's Janet's choice this week and she has chosen a Splash of Colour, pink,blue,green with a dash of red flowers and a sprinkling of bling. Now how could this colour them not cheer you up.


take your inspiration from the above picture. I've chosen one of Stitchy Bear digi images called Ms South. I love her, that spiky hair and attitude are wonderful, I've coloured her with Promarkers, cut her out and mounted her on a Nellie Multi Frame.

Now believe it or not I just could'nt find any DP to match the colour scheme so I had to improvise. I raided my scrap box and came up with as close a match as I could. Apart from the DCWV textured ice blue card, the rest of the DP are small pieces of crap paper that I couldn't bring myself to throw out. I'm so grateful I kept them.

The flourish is a Marianne creatable die, the flowers are from Creative Craft World the blue glittery butterfly, flowers & heart are from the pound shop, a whole bag of hundreds of die cuts for a £1.00. The red pearls are from quixotic paperie and the sentiment is comp generated.

Our sponsor this week is the lovely Sharon from One Stop Card Crafts and she is going to send the lucky winner a kit full of these wonderful colours

Do pop over and take a peek at the wonderful variety of card my friends on the DT have created for you this week.

Thank you for stopping by - hope you enjoyed your visit and that you'll come back and see me real soon

Bye for now - Suzi xx

Prairie Fairy Fun Fridays - 28 One for the Boys

Good Afternoon, Friday is here, another weekend just around the corner
and it's also the day we announce our new theme for the week over at
Prairie Fairy Fun Fridays.

This week we would like you to create something for the boys in your life.
I've chosen to use Norman, one half of the adorable Hippo duo which can be
bought here from the lovely Roberta's Prairie Fairy Designs store.

I've coloured him with my Promarkers and used Dovecraft Masculine range of papers
My little lonsdale badge came from my hubby's new trainers, I think you are supposed
to hang it from the laces or something, anyway I snazzled it, I knew it would make
a great embellishment.

We had some wonderful creations last week for our inspirational picture and it was lovely
visiting you which is my favourite part of belonging to a DT. I look forward to
seeing all your lovely male creation this coming week.

Do please pop over and take a peek at the wonderful array of cards the my friends

The Crafty Pad & I Did it forum Challenge 1

Good Morning Everyone, Well it's HERE our first

Crafty Pad Stamp Designs Challenge

in conjunction with


I did it Creations Forum.


A brand new venture for me as
Senior DT and coordinator of the challenge.
So please be patient and kind to me as I'm sure there may be hiccups ahead.

Come on over and join in the fun.
The challenge will run initially for a month ending on the 13th August,
so plenty of time for you to enter,
The prize for this challenge will be a choice of 5 images from the
lovely Debbie over at The Crafty Pad Stamp Designs.

We have all used Debbie's images for our cards and you can see for yourself
how fantastic they are.

The Theme for our first challenge is " IF THE SHOE FITS"

Once you have made your creation just pop over to the I did it Forum and enter it into the Gallery under The Crafty Pad Challenge. *Simples* as they say

Here are our wonderful new Design Team Members samples made just for you.
