Get Ready for Christmas

Still a few months for Christmas, but the Crafting by Design DT are already making Christmas Cards as the theme for this week's new challenge

GET READY FOR CHRISTMAS

For my card I chose this cute cat playing with a Christmas cracker kindly given to us from our sponsor Ike's Art and I colored him with my promarkers. Then I added some Christmas trees embellishments, gems, ribbon and the sentiment.

The prize for this week is $20 gift certificate to the store

Wishing you a lovely day and thanks for looking

Things With Wings

Hi everyone. It's already mid June and the weather is already so warm and nice here. We've been going to the beach every weekend and so I'm really happy :) Works will soon start at our new place and so I'm extra happy, can't wait. Besides that, am nearly fully booked for summer at our Holiday Home in Qawra, Malta which we rent out. Just next week, a week in August and September left, so I'm triple happy :) :)

Anyway, I have a DT card for today's new challenge at

Crafting By Design

The theme for this week is

THINGS WITH WINGS

We are this week sponsored by Fred She Said and I used this gorgeous image

Humming bird and Petunias

I colored the image with my promarkers. I added some leaf die cuts on the image and on the top right hand side corner of the card ..... NEW dies :) some pretty DP, lace and ribbon, pearls and a beautiful 3D sticker butterfly. Love how it turned out.

Anything Goes with Crafting by Designs

Good morning, I hope everyone is fine. I am not so well unfortunately, felt dizzy and fainting while driving to work yesterday!!! Luckily as soon as I realized something was wrong I immediately stopped the car and managed to park on the side and called hubby. Doctor just said it could be fatigue .. boq !! Still not very good but much better! Now some good news about the permit for our new home and it's finally out and we can start :) The bad news... the builder can NOW only start in July : / this thing is getting a too long.. I just don't want to say anything more :(

Anyway, it's a new month, and so a new Anything Goes Challenge has started at

Crafting By Designs

We have a fabulous sponsor again this month, Beccy's Place and lucky us we could again choose a digi image to make our card. I chose the Dalmation dog from the Dog's Tales Set. So cute I think :) I just colored his collar and nose and then added some grey color around the edges. Added some dies of course, another new one again, the sweet birds on top.
