I adore all the Cheeky Chester images and this one is no exception He looks adorable all dressed up in his Christmas outfit. I used more Making Memories papers and a Whimsy stamp sentiment and Christmas list.
I have chosen to use an old favourite , Ethan's New Jumper, on my card from the Felicity and Friends images which I teamed up with Kraft card and Making Memories Christmas papers. I love the vintage feel they have. I added lots of sewing and a punched border and tied on a little bell with some twine. The sentiment was created on my label maker and stuck on a Stampin up punched tab. I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge for the chance to win a voucher from Crafty Emma's store. 
I layered up different dotty papers to make a little scene for Tilda to stand in and added some stitching and a Hero Arts sentiment. The ribbon is Bobunny double dot in a gorgeous duck egg blue.
I dotted around a few little butterflies, one has settled on Tilda's hand...The finishing touch was some little flowers and sticky back pearls and gems.
I used an image from Di's Digi Downloads called 'On the bench'. Jack is footie mad and this little boy actually looks like him a little and the little dog is like our Puppy Charlie.
I printed the cute little Daisy out and coloured her with Promarkers before cutting her out. I stamped the Hero Arts sentiment in the top right hand corner and added a couple of little flowers and gems.
I covered the front of the plaque with Making Memories paper and poked through the holes with my pokey tool so I could thread through some wire I had shaped around a pencil.
The football buttons were some my Son bought at a craft fair when we went together ages ago and I found them under his bed when I was clearing out. The sparkly letters and the white ones are from Making memories and the larger ones are my favourite Prima ones (you will have seen these a lot lately on my Projects...)
I used Bazzil card, Making Memories and Papermania paper and the letters are from Prima. I edged all the layers with ink and added the squares to the backing paper with foam pads. I cut the image out with my Nesties, I just love that Pinking circle!
I used the Passion for Promarkers sketch and of course coloured Ronnie with my Promarkers!
I printed the image onto ribbed card as an experiment...not as good as the linen for blending with Promarkers but it was well worth a try!
I decided I would follow the Sketch and Stash Challenge sketch to make my card as it is a lovely clean and simple design. I cut all the paper pieces and inked the edges before layering them on to the card.
The sentiment was printed using a font I downloaded from the Web and cut it out using a Nesties label die.
Here is the lovely sketch to follow this fortnight. I replaced the flowers with American Crafts buttons tied with string.
I love this little Lion and he looks so sweet on this simple Thank You card. The sentiment is by Hero Arts and the paper is Making Memories. I replaced the orange stripe with some orange ribbon.
More stripes on this card made with a scrap of American Crafts paper. I coloured the little Monster in bright colours to match the lovely stripes. The sentiment is by Hero Arts.
The last card has a bee image printed on smooth card for a change. I used another scrap of the Making Memories paper to cover the front of the card. I layered the image on yellow card and stamped an Elzybells sentiment. I added glitter glue to the bee's wings and a flower with a K+Co gem for the centre.
I just love these Bugaboo images and they are so much fun to colour in. I used a Making Memories ledger paper to print the sentiment onto. I then printed the image and coloured it in with my Promarkers. I added glossy accents to the clock. The little stars are stick on earrings from Claire's accessories.
The cheerful stripey backing paper is from Making Memories and I used a Hero Arts Background stamp behind the bunny.
The orange pearlescent card is from Payper box. I coloured my bunny with Promarkers. The linen paper gave a mottly look which I think looks a bit like fur. The little star I topped with a button is from Paperchase. As a finishing touch, I added glossy accents to the carrots and the bunny nose.
The sketch was really lovely to work with. I used red and aqua plain card and embossed my DCWV aqua strips with a star embossing folder. The spotty paper is by Making Memories and the buttons are from my stash.
Here is a close up of the little Mad-Hatter, I think he looks really cheeky! I love his little stripy trousers too.
I used the Lavender collection Wordbook and decided to make similar Wordbooks for both. This colour scheme is just fabulous. The green is an amazing shade. It matches so well with the Lilac and Purple and looks really Funky. I printed out all the letters to start and then cut out the pages, trimmed them to size and scored the two top pages. I then stuck the book together and punched the bound edge with my Bind it all.
I tied coordinating ribbons through the punched holes. The ribbons are from various sources. The green ribbon was bought in the sale from Tesco's after Christmas and is a perfect match.
I printed small letters which I cut out with my Nestabilities, inked the edges and mounted them on to the card with foam pads and added a heart gem. I finished the cards off with gems and with Prima flowers. The little purple clips are from Making Memories.
I decided to do something constructive with my scraps and made a couple of gift tags to match the cards.
I set an eyelet for the ribbon, added small Making Memories letters, flowers and gems to finish them off. I did make matching flowers for the tags but Charlie, my Puppy, ate one, it has been a day for Charlie eating things he shouldn't, while we were having Dinner tonight, he chewed the end of the Laptop charger! He is not the most popular person in our house right now and I will be making an unscheduled trip to PC World tomorrow!
I used Kraft card to make a card base and layered up scraps of DCWV, Bobunny and Basic Grey papers.
I used some recycled Kraft card to cover my base card and layered on a square of Camouflage Making Memories paper. The circle mounted on to a Kraft scalloped circle is also from Making memories and the paper string was bought in John Lewis.
Challenge Rules
I received these stamps from Elzybells yesterday and was dying to have a play with them. When I chose my papers and had made the card, I discovered... quite spookily...that the colours I had used to colour my image, cool aqua and cocoa, are the colours to use in this week's Passion for Promarkers challenge! I am entering this card in to all 3 Challenges.
The backing paper is from the Making Memories ledger stack. I love this stack, it is so versatile! The ribbon was a scrap from my stash and the felt flower is Making Memories topped with a button from my stash tied on with linen string. The sentiment is from Elzybells.
While the snow fell outside and still keeps falling, I started work. It took me a long time to get a card I was happy with. About 3 hours altogether! I started by surrounding the button with a rosette made from ribbons from Crafty ribbons. I matted and layered Making memories and a Nesties label shape cut from Papercellar paper and sewed around the edges. I added a strip of vintage lace from my stash and then stuck on my button embellishment.
I added some Cuttlebug swirly rose vines, some letter stickers from Making memories and some tiny gold gems which I bought in Claire's.
Here is a close up of the button. Isn't it just amazing! I hope you like my attempt at 'vintage'. I am not quite hooked yet but I may give it another try one day when I have a spare 3 hours!
I used an image I downloaded from the internet for the helmet and coloured it in with Promarkers. The papers I used are Making Memories and the cardstock is Sizzix and DCWV.
