Anything Goes

As expected.. I'm so busy at the office now and we got the end of the financial year coming up next month so we have auditors as well!!! Awww how I wish I was still on vacation leave.. but of course all good things come to an end and I have to go to work ...... I do try to play the lotto he he but no luck :P  .. Ooops I am really moaning today.. sorry ... so better get to my card for the day as

it's time for a new challenge at I ♥ Promarkers. 

The theme for  this week is an easy ANYTHING GOES 

The theme was perfect for me too as I need a baby girl card, so just righty for my card which I had done in advance he he  :)

We are this week sponsored by Digi Doodles and so we lucky girls could use one of the gorgeous images from the store. Paper on my card was a magazine freebie, lovely border die is from Crafty Sentiments, leaves are a Martha Stewart punch and yellow roses are a Marianne Design die.

I wish to thank you for stopping by and for all your lovely comments and support. I am struggling with myself lately to keep on with my blog as I am finding it so difficult to keep it up... but seeing all your hellos and comments just make me keep on trying and hoping that I will be able to come and say hello soon as I feel so rude not being able to come at all lately. Please just be a bit more patient with me .. but I will come soon for sure. thanks

Flowers

Hello everyone ... Hope you are all well and fine. Me and hubby are still on vacation leave he he :) .. Having so much fun going for a swim everyday, waking up late, going for evening walks on the promenade and eating out  :) .... as I said last time... this doesn't happen so often so really enjoying it!!! .. ... still no internet though. We were going to get it, but our boys get carried away so much with it and so we decided that it's better if we don't get it... Of course....... I'm suffering with them!!! In fact, this time to upload this card I hopped over to the Mc Donalds! ... Took the opportunity when hubby was watching football yesterday and off I went and scheduled my Crafty Sentiments DT card for today.

The theme for this week is FLOWERS .. a nice and easy one.. just add some flowers somewhere on your card and you're in for your chance to win.

For my card this time I decided to use this sweet image and coloured it with my promarkers. Papers are from Papermania, and gorgeous hearts border die is also from Crafty Sentiments. 

The prize for the winner this week is three digis from the store.

Well that is all for me for today, I'll be back tomorrow with another DT Card.

Weddings / Anniversary

Hello good morning everyone. Sorry haven't been around at all lately, but as I said last time, me and hubby are on vacation leave... which doesn't happen so often that we get to take time off from work together and so we have took this opportunity and moved to our summer residence for a while to enjoy some relaxing time there. Got no internet there unfortunately and so I get to squeeze in a little time to use the internet when there is free wi-fi outside.... just enough for me to upload my DT Card.... and today being Saturday it's time for a new challenge at the Sweet Stampin.

The theme for this week is Weddings/ Anniversary and again for this week I decided to use one of my lovely Lili of the Valley gorgeous stamps.

 Coloured image with my promarkers, papers were a magazine freebie, computer generated sentiment, and just two flowers, die cut leaves and a bow and ribbon to finish it off.

Our Sponsor this week is

Thank you for looking and hope you will be able to join us.

A Blog Hop with Crafty Sentiments

Hello there... sorry I'm so late today and not in such a good mood too as had news that my cousin who was just three years older than me was killed when he was run over by a car today.. .. such a shock for everyone ..

.. anyway couldn't sleep and then I remembered that I hadn't posted my card for the Crafty Sentiments Blog Hop as today we have our monthly release.

... such gorgeous stamps being released this month again with the theme of Pirates and The Seas and to celebrate we are having a blog hop where you can also win two of the new stamps if you hop along with us. Just leave a comment on each of the DT Girls blogs to let us know you have visited.

So if you are hopping along with us you should have arrived from Lorraine, but if not, then you must go from the start which is HERE. Your next stop on the hop is LISA.

For my card, as you can see I used this gorgeous image Beach Ball which I had so much fun colouring with my promarkers. Quite a simple card, the paper was a freebie in a magazine and then I just finished off my card with some of my new twine, a charm, card candy, sentiment, a flourish die cut and two pretty flowers which lucky me I had received in a swap from the lovely Karen.

Vintage

Good afternoon, another card for me this week and this time I have a totally different card as today I've gone vintage for the new challenge at I ♥ Promarkers

The theme for this week is

VINTAGE

Just not my usual style, so I must tell you that I had a really hard time to choose the image and to choose everything to do my card but then I'm pleased with how it turned out... found the image already stamped for me, coloured it with my promarkers, paper is a wrapping paper, gorgeous pins from our Karen ..... 

who happens to be also our sponsor for this week as she is giving the winner a lovely selection of beautiful pins similar to these.. 

I think this is good enough excuse to have a play with us this week as they are really beautiful :)

I'll be back with some challenges hopefully as now I'm off to visit mum.
