Daisy Doodles



Hi Everyone

I just don't know where this year has gone. The roofers finally finished on the estate last week & I have to say it is going to be extremely wierd not having them here. They have been a big part of our lives for 13 months now. I did make them a huge cake before they went lol!!

Right onto our challenge this week. We want you to make a card with NO RIBBON!! Easy you think....... thats what I thought lol!!! But after some stressing & blog searching I finally sorted it.


I coloured this cute little elf with my Promarkers & layered him up with red & green card. I then added some Stickles to make him look Christmassy. I then added a 3D sentiment to finish it off x Clare x

Anything Goes With A Digi


Good Morning Everyone & welcome to another challenge over at Daisy Doodles :-) We have a nice easy one for you this week - Anything Goes With a Digi. I wanted to show you this week how versatile Miss Daisy's images are so I have created a Birthday Card using a stamp from one of her Halloween Packs.

I just think this would make a great card for a child. I coloured Frankenstein's Monster in with my Promarkers as usual. I was planning on following the sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday but decided in the end to keep it CAS. The stamp is one hubby made for me (see previous post) & I stamped it using Stazon. x Clare x

Sneak Peek - Daisy Doodles


Hi Everyone

I am quite excited about my card tomorrow as I have used a sentiment stamp that my wonderful hubby has made for me using my fab stamp maker :-) I gave him the sentiment & left the rest up to him. I know it's pretty basic but we all have to start somewhere :-) Don't forget to pop back tomorrow to see the rest of the card x Clare x

Cheeky Lil Devil

Morning Everyone

Well I had a bit of a lousy week so never got my DT card done for the Daisy Doodles challenge, so I decided I would do it instead for my Free Week.

As soon as I saw this image by Jules I knew I had to have him. Isn't he just the cutest? I have coloured him with Promarkers & used the Sketch over at Cute Card Thursday. I found some old Halloween Confetti that I had & cut the letters out on my bug x Clare x

Tableau Tuesday

Hi Everyone

It is our free week over at Daisy Doodles this week & I really liked the card I came up with. I decided to go for a fairly vintage feel (at least I hope that's what I have achieved lol!!)

I kept the colour scheme fairly simple & coloured the image using my trusted Promarkers. I added some Bronze coloured organza, gold gems & the sentiment is a rub on. The butterfly is a K&Co diecut.
I followed the theme throughout the card. Using a mixture of Nesties & Punches. x Clare x

BOO!!!!!!

As there are so many Halloween challenges out there at the moment I thought I had better join in & get a card made. It also gave me chance to play with another Messy Rabbit Stamp. This time I chose Nighttime. I just love the look on his face lol!!!

I coloured him in using my Promarkers as normal :-) The papers are all Daisy & Dandelion & I just love the one with the eyes in the dark. I followed the sketch at Friday Sketch Challenge & cut the letters on my bug.

On the inside of the card I thought it would be a great idea to make a sort of window with the effect of the eyes peering in. Then I printed a sentiment to match the card. x Clare x
