Mo’s Digital Challenge #26 – Black, white and Kraft!

Yay, I’m back on track with my DT cards!!  As I have mentioned I have been burning the midnight oil of late but not in a good way!  We have started a new business (Estate agents) which is taking a lot of time and my usual few hours I have a week to devote to my beloved crafting have been reduced to zero.  However, I did mangage to find a wee bit of time to get my card done for this weeks challenge over at Mo’s which is to use black, white and Kraft on your card.  You can obviously use other colours but the challenge ones must feature predominantly.  I love Kraft on cards and the DT have made some stunning creations as always.  Please hop on over if you get the time and check it out.

Excuse the photography on this one, it was not my best effort!!!  I have used my new scallop border die from PTI on the Kraft borders and stamped them with Polka Dot Basics in Vintage cream ink.   The image is coloured with ProMarkers and I have used a teensy bit of left over paper from the Pink Patterns collection (PTI also).

Right, it is a gloriously sunny day here so I am going to abandon this computer now and take my cuppa outside where the children are all currently soaking each other with water pistols!!!  I may stop to put on a waterproof on my way out!!!

A few more belated Easter treats!

Thought I’d grab a minute to share a few more pics of the little treats I made to sell at one of our school fundraisers a few weeks ago. 

These are just some little bags of mini eggs made using SU’s small cellophane bags, a nestibilities die and PTI stamps (Tags for Spring – thanks again Kate), Fancy Flourishes and Mega Mixed Messages

These next ones were totally inspired by my lovely friend Steph.  They’re done using the Sizzix shaker box die and again, PTI stamps and inks.  These are also filled with scrummy mini eggs.

I’ve also just noticed that I have now reached the amazing 400 mark on my blog followers list!!  Wow, thank you so much to everyone that visits me and always leave such lovely comments.  I think it calls for a wee celebration so I will put together a blog candy when I get a chance to say a huge THANK YOU!

Have a great day,
Hugs,

A very quick post!

Hello all.  Just a quick message to let you all know I haven’t dropped off the face of the planet!  I am so busy at the moment with our business committments and haven’t had time to even look at my craft desk never mind sit down and make anything!!  I am hoping to get on top of things a little more once Easter is over and be back into the swing of things.  It’s killing me not being able to create!!!

Ok, although I have no card to share, I just wanted to remind you all there is a new challenge over at Mo’s Digital Pencil today which is to use Pastel Colours.  Mo has released loads of new images lately (none of which I have had had time to play with yet!!) so please hop on over for a look.  Also, check out the current challenge at Passion For ProMarkers – we have been joined by two new DT members – Tracy and Emma – and they are both AWESOME! 

 I do have a little something to share with you all for today.  I made a load of little Easter and Mother’s day treats a few weeks ago for our school fundraising day and haven’t shown you any of them.  These are just some little treats using a mixture of PTI and Stampin Up stamps.  LOVE those Haribo strawbs!!

Right, we’re meant to be on our way to Anglesey right now and I haven’t even packed!!  Hope to see you all soon.

Hugs,
