Anything but a card or anything goes over at Creatalicious Challenges

Morning and hello! I am back again with a new creation this week. We have already come to the end of March and that means it's time for a new challenge over at Creatalicious Challenges. This time we would love to see anything but a card or just like always anything goes. 



We are sponsored by Cute as a Button which offers one lucky winner 2 digis of their choice.




For my card have I used the fabby image called Mexican Beauty from our sponsor. It's an image filled with details and maybe I should have coloured with something else than my promarkers which tip isn't very fine. LoL However I love how the colours turned out. 

I have used a Prima paper pad for this one and used a Magnolia border die to add some details and a pink butterfly in two layers. The white blobs are card candy that really turned out white on my photo. Wonder what I did to make that happen?

Anyway, it is simple to play along with us as our theme is anything goes or anything but a card for this two week challenge. It's up to you how you wanna play it.

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

It's a spring thing over at the Paper Shelter

Morning and hello! Hope you're having a good week so far. I am terrible tired and almost forgot that I had this challenge post to write up as well as our new challenge over at the Paper Shelter. Good that I remembered before I fell asleep. LoL

Our theme this week over at the Shelter is "It's a spring thing". So anything related to spring would be nice. It can be spring flowers, Easter, some sunny weather or even rain. You know April showers brings May flowers, right?


I have used the fabby image called Adorable Easter Bunny. For some reason I love making Easter cards and colour Easter images but I never send any cards for Easter. I think that love making these cards because of the colours. I make Christmas cards all year around and love it but when the sun starts to shine and the days gets a little longer the soft pastels are like sunshine to the soul.

I have once again used a lovely old paper pack, probably Me to You from at least 6-8 years ago and it's perfect for these kinds of cards. It looks a perfect match and I don't have to dress up the card so much, so if I would like to send the card it would be a cheeper one. LoL. I have used a Marianne Die set to make the egg decorations and left it with that.


As always, we have a gift voucher up worth $30 when you play with the Paper Shelter brand. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning 3 digis of your choice. Nice and easy to play along, right? You can enter our challenges up to three times, but at least one of your creations needs to have a TPS image on it.

Well my friends, I hope you will take the time and come and join us over at the Paper Shelter this week. I am pretty sure you can figure out a way to fit our theme of "It's a spring thing".

Love n hugs
Marie

Springtime over at Passion for Promarkers

Morning and hello! It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers. This time are we in the mood for spring so our theme is set to Spring time. Nice and easy we hope? You could make an Easter Card, some spring flowers or what spring means to you.

Our sponsor for this  challenge is Bugaboo Stamps and I have for my card used the fabby image called Spring boot. It's so much fun to colour the images from Bugaboo. Love the thicker lines in their images. I have of course used my Promarkers to colour my image, just like you have to so you have a chance on our prize for the week. Any of the old Letraset markers or their sibblings are ok for colouring and playing along with us. :)


I have used yet another old paper pack. This one I have used some old papers from BildmÄlarna. I don't remember the name of the pack but it's kind of cute, isn't it?

I have used some glossy accent for the pool of water around the boot and some pearls for decorations. Nice and simple. And tons of fun to colour just as I said before.

Ingen fotobeskrivning tillgänglig.
The prize up for grabs for this challenge is a gift voucher worth $12. How great isn't that? We will have one lucky winner for this challenge.

Anyway, take good care and do something that makes you happy!

Digital image over at the Paper Shelter

Morning and hello from a cold Sweden. Hard to believe that soccer season will start soon and flowers to be show. It's totally freezing and not very nice at all. Not even the cats wants to go outside. So maybe it's not as strange as you might think that I have used a winter image for my creation this week.


As always, we have a gift voucher up worth $30 when you play with the Paper Shelter brand. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning 3 digis of your choice. Nice and easy to play along, right? You can enter our challenges up to three times, but at least one of your creations needs to have a TPS image on it.

Today have I been using the fabby image called My snowman and coloured it with my Promarkers. Still loving those markers. :) I have used a paper pad from Glitz Design if I am not totally off and it has nothing at all to do with winter or Christmas. But it worked out pretty well I think. I actually did this card in my bed and was to lazy to go and pick up another paper pad. But really pleased with how it turned out. 

I have used a few die cut snowflakes and a few sequines as decoration together with my fabby silver web ribbon. Only a tiny bit left of that now. What will I do? I can't remember from where I got it from. I have to look around again in the on line craft stores I think...

Well, I hope you enjoy our theme this week and remember you don't have to colour you image if you don't want to but it has to be a digital image, not a stamped one. Theme is DIGITAL IMAGE.

Take care and do something that you really love!

Love n hugs

Happy Birthday over at Passion For Promarkers

Morning and hello! It's time for a new challenge over at passion for Promarkers and the theme set is a favourite, "Birthdays". Nice and easy, you have to agree! Do you know what, we had 14 degrees  outside the other day, today is it snowing again. Jippi! It has been a hard week with tons of pain and being unable to move. The only good thing, I have gotten tons of colouring done! And even a few cards without colouring. 

Our generous sponsor this week is Dr Digi’s House of Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  

Remember you can enter using any type of creation but as always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers). Please can you help us by stating which products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc. Thanks!


I have used the fabby image called Duncan Disorderly. I needed a card for my brother's birthday and as he can take a card like this, I just had to make this one. I love how it turned out. I might even be even happier about the fact that I have used a love collection of designer papers and it doesn't show at all does it? I am really happy about Duncan's hair as well. First time I managed to get a good blend with blue and grey.

I have only used a few foam numbers as decoration. I have raised the image as well for some more interest of the card. But that's it and I am really happy about the creation!

Anyway, I hope that you take some time and join our easy and fun challenge. Just remember that you have to use the former Letraset Markers.

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs
Marie

Fuzzy Wuzzy Christmas over at Winter Wonderland

Morning and hello! Time for a new creation once again here in my blogging spot. This time is it Winter Wonderland that goes live for you all to play along with. This months theme is Fussy Wussy Christmas. So we want to see some fluff on your creations. Some fluffy beard, ear muffs or maybe fur. You probably have more ideas than I do. 




Living in Leeds, Yorkshire in the UK, working full time as a Management Accountant, currently working on 2 design teams and an obsessive crafter and creator of cards. I have no actual style as yet but do love the unusual and quirky. I may be known for producing cards in soft pastel colours. I love anything arty. I've always drawn stuff, for as long as I can remember. In my younger days I sold a few watercolour paintings. I recently found mixed media which is a joy and love creating canvases with flowers. I had a battle with digital drawing for about a year and finally found some software I could gel with. January 2016 a challenge team I worked on was short of a designer's images to create with so I drew some. I opened my shop a month later so I could sponsor challenges and give something back to the crafting world, to the lovely ladies who have supported me on my journey. I've a Facebook group SheepSki Designs where I hold challenges, some for fun to win digis as well as my monthly card challenge. I've a SheepSki Designs challenge blog as well. Things are growing slowly (thankfully) so I still manage to spend at least a little time with my hubby. Welcome to my world Andrea xx

 PRIZE:
Andrea is offering 3 images of choice for the random winner.

I have used the image called Taking a Break. It's filled with details and take a bit of time to colour in but it's a nice sweet image. I know if I am tired after Christmas that's nothing compared to how Santa Claus must feel. LoL

I will change the photo during the day, bad battery.

I have used a paper pack called North Pole if I remember right and I have added a few die cuts. The sentiment is a free one from a magazine and the stars are from well. If I only had a memory, could it maybe be Memory Box? I have also die cut with Gummiapan dies and some Spellbinder dies. On top of if all have I used some glimmer mist in gold.

I hope you take the chance to make a Christmas card or two during the month and join us over at the Winter Wonderland. We will do our best to come and visit you all and give you some love. Take good care and do something that make you happy.

Love n hugs
Marie
