Digi Garden Little Girl with Pumpkin

Hello all
Hope your weekend is going well, and so lovely to see the sunshine back yesterday wasn't it?
The school fete finally arrived and thankfully went very very well, my friend and I shared the table between us and had loads of lovely comments and sold quite a few too! I think we would definitely give it a go again!
The funny thing was, I only made two Halloween cards, being unsure how well they would go and I had several people asking for them-typical eh?
My card today is the second Halloween card I took and is the gorgeous Little Pumpkin Girl from the Digi Garden. I coloured her with my promarkers and added some backing papers from my stash and finished off with a little ribbon and some craft candy.

The Digi Garden has some gorgeous Halloween images on their site and they are so brilliant to colour.  If you fancy taking a little look,  why not pop on over here!

I would like to enter her into the following challenges:
A Gem of a Challenge 56.- For the Girls
Crafy Ann challenge 75 - Film Title (Halloween)
The Squirrel and the Fox challenge 27 - Celebrate the Occasion

Have a fab week and until next time.
Aloha

Evening all, well, autumn has really arrived I think!! Am sitting here now looking out onto a grey cloudy sky and am very tempted to put the heating on-is it too early I wonder??
Am not having the best of weeks-managed to get an emergency dentist appointment where she put in a temporary filling and I have to go back to have my tooth out -on 2 November!!!! Now have over 5 weeks to worry about it as I am so not good with dentists-and of course everyone wants to tell me their horror stories which I so don't want to hear.
On the plus side I have just managed to squeeze in a couple hours crafting as all my lovely lot are out.
Made this card with a digi image from Pink Gem Designs, coloured her with my promarkers and used a Martha Stewart edging punch, some punched flowers, and card candy to finish.

I would like to enter her into the following challenges:

Crafters Companion challenge 28 - Gold
Moving along with the times challenge - Girly Girly
Creative Craft Challenges 2 - Anything goes

Am off to have a nice hot cup of coffee now and get ready for Coronation Street!!.
Until next time.

Ursula's polka dot outfit

Hello all and wow, what a horrible day!!
Not only is the weather awful but my filling decided to fall out last night so that's a trip to the dentist for me - and I am SO scared of the dentist it's untrue so I'm feeling very very sorry for myself!!
To take my mind off it I spent some time out in my shed today!
I made this card using a gorgeous image from the Digi Garden called Ursula's Polka Dot Outfit-I just love these images, they are so brilliant to colour and there are just so many adorable images to choose from.
I used some Wild Rose Studio papers and coloured her with my promarkers. I embossed a background for her and added some card candy and sentiment.

I would like to enter her into the following challenges:
Allsorts challenge 173 - Inspired by a song (Mellow Yellow)
The Crafty Pad challenge 189 - Inspired by a song (Mellow Yellow)
Shopping our stash challenge 69 - Emboss It

If you head over to Facebook and 'like' the Digi Garden page there is currently a gorgeous Friday Freebie called Emily's garden which is just as cute as Ursula!!

Well until next time then.
Aloha

Autumn days

Hello all,
well I don't know about you but I think it is so cold today, it really feels like winter is setting in-not be long before that heating goes on!!
I have spent a few hours in my shed today -only one more week till the school fete so thought I'd better get my skates on and make a couple more cards to top up my collection. Have got the whole day to myself tomorrow so am hoping for a repeat of today and will finally have enough to take with me-just hope I don't bring them all back again lol!!!
This card today is using an image I won from a blog challenge and is from the Paper Shelter, coloured with my promarkers.
There are so many challenges out there at the moment with autumn themes I thought she would be perfect. The papers are a mix of Wild Rose Studio and from my stash-I found it quite hard to find papers with oranges and browns as I think I tend to buy pinks, blues and purples!! I punched out some leaves to match and used my Marianne die to cut the flourish, adding some pearls to finish.

I would like to enter her into the following challenges:
The Paper Shelter challege 82 - Fall images
The Crafty Pad challenge 188 - Autumn Colours
Lollipop crafts challenge 90 - Break out your punch
Papertake Weekly challenge A hazy shade of autumn
Bearly Mine challenge -Fall Colours

Having neglected all jobs round the house today I think I'd better go tidy up a bit before I sit and watch X factor!!!
Until next time.
Aloha

Emily's rainy day

Evening all
Firstly hello to my new followers and a big welcome to my blog.
Oh my word, what a day!! Three hours unexpected overtime -I am exhausted!!!
Had planned to come home and make a card tonight but all thoughts of that have had to go out the window-have just enough energy to eat my dinner and write this post then it may well be a slouch on the sofa instead!
Lucky I made this card last night I guess-it is a gorgeous image from the Digi Garden called Emily's rainy day, how cute is she??? I coloured her with my promarkers and used some of my Wild Rose Studio Bella papers. I printed out a little cloud for her to play under and added some glittery dots and a greeting-and you can't see from the photo but I also added some glossy accents to the rain drops and puddle.

If you haven't yet paid a visit to the Digi Garden why not pop on over and take a look, there's some super cute images for you to play with and they are brilliant to colour. There's also some fab new little image scenes too. If you're on facebook you can also pop onto their page here and keep up with all the news and info-including the very generous Friday Freebie!

My card today is using a really old Penny Black stamp which I have used because it reminds me of my lovely little visitor who comes into my garden every night for his meal worms!!

Evening all,
Well, where did that week go to???  I don't know about you but I do love my Friday nights!!
Am looking forward to tomorrow, got mum and dad for the day and the weather is supposed to be lovely so I think a nice walk around a beautiful place called The Friars is called for-wonderful church complete with monks, gorgeous gardens to walk round and place for a coffee after, just perfect!!

My week just goes from busy to busier-I'm sure each academic year gets more manic than the last!

I have my eye on my daughters bedroom when she moves out but she's showing no signs yet lol!!!
