Baby Card for Daisy May

As most people who know me in real life already know 'I don't do babies' so making this card was really difficult for me. I decided on an actual person and used the photo of my Grand-daughter Erin Kate, manipulated it in Kaleidescope Creator and added the cute dog and cat from Daisy May (coloured with Promarkers). The topic is as you may by now have guessed is 'New Baby' so do pop over to Daisy May and enter this week's challenge - you could win a lovely download of your choice and you don't have to use Daisy May to enter. Well my card was not liked by someone on the DT so was not posted on their blog this week. Never mind - I hope you like it and I am sure my little Erin will.

Pink and Yellow for Daisy May

Here is my DT entry for this week's challenge over at Cute Daisy May - 'Pink and ?' as you can see my other colour is yellow. You don't have to use Daisy May images to enter so for a change I have made my card using a My Craft Studio cd. I created the background on some shaded pink and yellow card and overprinted the pink swirls. The lady was printed twice and decoupaged and I just added a pink flower with pink gem brad and a little glass lookie like sentiment for decoration. I also cut the corners with the corner rounder from We Are Memory Keepers. Do pop over and enter the challenge and maybe win a download of your choice and have fun.

Daisy May Thank You card

The challenge this week over at Daisy May is to make a 'Thank You' card so here is mine. I have stamped the pub image from Sheena Douglass together with the pub thank you sign and coloured using various pens and inks and added a tree stamp from Hobby Art in the left hand corner. I printed out Daisy May onto shrink plastic, coloured her with Sakura pens and added her to the picture - I felt the tree stamp matched with the tree on the Daisy May image nicely. Do try to enter this week's challenge - you may win a download of your choice and it is good fun. Enjoy the challenge.

Blue and Green Daisy May

Here is my meagre effort for Cute Daisy May DT this week. Due to being overseas and not having all my crafty stuff here yet this one is very simply done. 'Blue and Green' was the challenge - do pop over and join in the fun - you don't have to use Daisy May to play.

The Word for Ali

Here is my DT card for this week's Cute Daisy May 'WORD' challenge and also a birthday card for my forum friend ALI. I know she will probably see this here before she receives it but I had to post today as we fly away on Tuesday - sorry Ali.

I will be back posting as soon as we have internet access over the waters.

Till then take care all and love and hugs all round xx

Floral Fantasy

This is my DT card for Cute Daisy May 'Floral Fantasy' challenge this week. I love the new fairy images - this one especially. I coloured her using Promarkers again and added the mandatory Stickles glitter glue - well you could not have a fairy without glitter now could you? lol. The background card is cut from a Create and Craft kit and I added the little Daisy May shrinkie floating in the flowers too. The stamp is from Dimension Fourth. Do pop over and check out Daisy May's blog and see the fab entries by the DT and the guests as well - you don't have to use Daisy May to enter.

Get well soon Nicola

My dear friend Nicola has had an operation and will be out of action for around six weeks and needs to RELAX - hence the sentiment on this card. The topper is one I created for my DT entry for Cute Daisy May - a little shrinkie Daisy May amongst the Cuttlebugged coredinations swirls and the Debbi Moore flowers. The sentiment is from DCWV I think. Get well soon my friend and do as the docs have ordered and relax. xx I am also entering this for

Crazy Amigo 'Free' theme this week.

Another early Christmas card

Here is my DT card for Cute Daisy May 'Early Christmas' challenge this week. Coloured with Promarkers and some inks direct to card and mounted onto a couple of oval frames onto blue mirri card.

FRIENDSHIP

The challenge this week at Cute Daisy May is 'Friendship'. As I live way up North and lots of my friends are down South I speak with them most times on the phone so thought this would be appropriate for my DT card this week. I coloured Daisy May with Promarkers, yes - I still love them, and decoupaged her onto a pink flowered and glittered card and stamped the sentiment from Personal Impressions (which I totally agree with). Hope you like her. Do pop over and enter the challenge yourself if you get chance - you don't have to use Daisy May images.

GREEN, DOTTY AND SWIRLY SKETCH

AS YOU LIKE IT

Here is my DT card for this week's 'As You Like It' challenge over at Cute Daisy May. The background was coloured using Glimmer Mists then run through the Cuttlebug 'Divine Swirls' folder giving a distressed kind of look. I printed out the Daisy May image and embossed using silver embossing powder and coloured with coloured pencils and added some Stickles glitter glues. I then printed Daisy onto shrink plastic, coloured, shrunk and attached with silver thread underneath the acetate decoupaged flower.

ANIMAL PLAYTIME IN THE FOREST

The cat, duck, cow, elephants and owl schoolmaster are all from Cute Daisy May downloads and the background scene is from Helping Hands 'Scenes to decorate' cd - also created by the very clever Linnie.

CUTE DAISY MAY IN THE GARDEN

Here is my entry for Cute Daisy May DT challenge 'Circles' this week. The green holographic circles I found in my craft room - surprise - and I cut the DCWV flowered glitter card circle using my XCut circle cutter and mounted on to the holographic card. I printed out the garden bench from Jayne and Sara's 'Summer Stories' CD and mounted this over the circles. I added some highlights with Promarkers then attached varigated flower soft to the flowers and bush. The basket and watering can are from the cd too. I printed out Cute Daisy May with her dog and coloured again with Promarkers - yes I am hooked on them and mounted on foam sitting on the bench. Just another way Daisy May fits in with other products in our craft stash.

You can enter the weekly Daisy May challenges here and maybe win a download and a blinkie - you don't have to use Daisy May either any cutie will do.

Pink and Green Daisy May

Here is my DT card for this week's challenge at Cute Daisy May 'Pink and Green'. The black coredinations card was run through the Cuttlebug then sanded to bring out the green. I added some patterned paper that I had stamped with Sheena Douglass swirls and embossed and tore the edges. I added a pink and white strip down the left hand side and mounted all onto the black card. I added lots of curled paper flowers from Debbi Moore Designs with central gems and the DCWV chipboard message Relax. Then for the fun part, I printed Daisy May onto shrink plastic, coloured her with Promarkers, cut her with fancy scissors and shrunk her - no pain was inflicted on her I promise lol.

I attached her to the centre of the card and hey ho she was done.

Let's Get Embossed

Here is my card for this week's Cute Daisy May challenge 'Let's Get Embossed'. I printed the image and embossed with black sparkle powder, coloured with Promarkers and glitter glues then attached to a couple of backgrounds made using inks direct to glossy card and cut the fancy corners with decorative scissors.

I embossed the turquoise mirri card with the 'Distressed Stripes' Cuttlebug folder and the black core-dinations card with 'Diamonds in the Rough' folder then sanded the black so the blue would show through. I tore the edges and matted onto the blue mirri and added the chipboard letters for the word FUN and sanded the edges.

You do not have to use Daisy May images to enter just make something cute. Have fun and enjoy.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT - ME AND MY SHADOW

This is my DT card for the 'Monotone' challenge over at Cute Daisy May. I printed the images onto white then coloured them sepia in Picasa and raised them on foam tape. Oh, I added a little sepia Promarkers to her dress and shoes and bows. The spotlight background is from the MCS Hollywood CD and I just added some sepia Stickles and the wording to finish the look.
