This card was created on 30th November; day 30 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. This was going to be my entry for this month’s progressive challenge over at Gerda Steiner Designs, but I’ve finally been caught out by last minute creations. Normally the link-up is open until the end of the last… Continue reading Christmas: Puppy with gift
This card was created on 4th November; day 4 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. I don’t have a lot of full-size background stamps, but I just had to pick up these balloons from Create A Smile. For some reason my brain came up with the bright idea of colouring it and then… Continue reading Thanks: Balloons
I just love these yetis. Last year it was the Create A Smile santa that got used repeatedly; this year it’s these yetis. They are just too adorable. How: First I created a background panel by stamping lots of small images from the beast friends set. Once I’d coloured them, I was very brave and… Continue reading Christmas: Yetis on stamped backgrounds
A bit of a last minute rush to get a card done for the latest challenge from The East Wind. Lots of house tidying and the like had to be done and that combined with trips to the physio and the dentist had pretty much robbed me of any energy recently! But, I missed the… Continue reading Hello: Diva Lisa
This card was created on 8th November; day 8 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. The latest challenge from The East Wind is a little different; rather than specifying a particular technique or element to incorporate, this time the challenge is to create a project based on a memory in honour of Alzheimer’s… Continue reading Christmas: Trimming the tree

November (already!) and that means cute critters and blackberries for my mum’s birthday. (It's not for another couple of days, but as she's the only person I know who isn't on the internet, it's safe to post it now 🙂 ) I’m running a bit behind schedule this year — this would normally have been… Continue reading Birthday: Mice and blackberries
This was created on 19th July: day 15 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Like a lot of the cards I created during the colouring challenge, I didn’t start out with any real idea of what the final card would look like; I was just colouring images for the fun of colouring. This… Continue reading Ice-cream & Polaroid beach scene
This was created on 7th July: day 3 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. What is it with all the masculine cards in the middle of summer? This one was for my neighbour, who does like an occasional tipple; I didn’t have any whisky bottle images to hand, so had to go with… Continue reading Birthday: Cheers
This cute hedgehog wrapped up warm in his chunky scarf is the image for October’s progressive challenge from Gerda Steiner Designs. I have to give credit to my other half for coming up with the great pumpkin idea; I love how it turned out. How: I printed the hedgehog on Neenah solar white and coloured… Continue reading The great pumpkin hedgehog
This little spidey is just sooooo cute! I didn’t have a plan for him when I coloured him, but I quickly realised that he would be perfect as the centrepiece of a birthday card for a friend of ours. How: I printed spidey out, coloured him with Copic markers and fussy cut him out. I… Continue reading Cute Spidey
This was created on 6th July: day 2 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. This card was directly inspired by Kathy Racoosin’s colouring book card on day one of the challenge. It’s nice to find a use for some of the pages from the various colouring books I’ve bought and been given.… Continue reading Just a Note: Colouring page
This was created on 13th July: day 9 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. These art deco style roses were a little time consuming to colour — there are a lot of tiny areas in there — but I love the designs. I may have gone a bit overboard with all the faux… Continue reading Blank: Art deco roses
The colouring was done on 12th July: day 8 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Another cute free digi stamp from Just Inklined and some more Copic colouring; I do use other mediums occasionally, but I have to say that me and Copics just get on 🙂 I didn’t have a plan for… Continue reading Thanks: Red-headed girl
This card was created on 30th July: day 26 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. I loved the black-stamped version of this bear so I decided to be brave and make one of my infrequent attempts at no-line Copic colouring and try to recreate it using the same colour palette. For me, no-line… Continue reading Birthday: No-line bear
