I'm back! A new card for the Graph'it Markers Challenge - Denim

Hello Everyone! I am back! That was a very long couple of weeks...I can't believe I haven't posted on my blog since the 10th of January. Needless to say, it took me a lot longer than expected to recover from my hand operation. I am truly on the mend now and am slowly getting back into crafting again. My card today is my first attempt at colouring again so please be gentle with me. I am not 100% happy with my card today but I have to start somewhere. The card I am sharing below if for the Graph'it Marker Colouring Challenge. Our theme this fortnight is 'Denim'.

I have used a fabulous image from the Dollie Daydream Polkadoodles CD on my card. I love her outfit and her hair is amazing! I used Echo Park papers from an older pad and a Paper Smooches sentiment from the 'Scripty Sayings' set.

I added some Dutch Doobadoo die cut embellishments, including the Laser Art A5 Butterflies, Laser Art A5 Swirls and a Kraft Star which I topped with a vintage button.I also added some Ribbon Girl flowers and ribbon and some stick on pearls.

Here are the pens I used for my colouring. I used the Glitter Shake it pen to give her some fun glittery trainers. I hope you will be able to join us for our Challenge for the chance to win a Graph'it colouring DVD. Have a lovely Friday!

And the award for the best dressed Post-it note goes to.....

I woke up very early today after going to sleep very late, thought I might manage a lie in but nevermind!
I checked blogger while still in bed and saw the Polkadoodles posting for the new challenge.
My Craft desk is in my bedroom and all the leftover bits from yesterday's project starting waving at me!


The Challenge this week is to make a gift. I had seen this idea a while ago somewhere in Blogland so have adapted it a teeny bit. I cut 2 chipboard squares with my Nesties and covered them with Polkadoodles paper on both sides. Then I bound them with my Bind-it-all taped a pink Post-it pad inside and made a cute little topper from Polkadoodles offcuts.
This is the inside, I love those Polkadots and look, they match my pencil! How cool!

I intend to make a few more of these, I am always losing my post-it notes at work so hopefully this will make them a bit easier to find!

Polkadoodles blog challenge card

Phew!!! I emerge triumphant and holding a gorgeous card after battling with my printer for what seemed like hours! I was adamant I was going to make a card with my Polkadoodle gorgeous downloads for the blog challenge but my printer had other ideas this evening, it seems a little goblin got in there and messed with all the settings but I got rid of him to print my papers!



The challenge this week was to follow this lovely sketch and I thought the cupcakes would be perfect. Let's face it, I have yet to find a situation for which cake is not perfect!
I indulged my love of polkadots with this card too. I think I deserve a treat and polkadots or stripes on a card always make me smile. The paper is a Polkadoodles download as is the cupcake image. The stamp is one I have had for ages and have never used and it fits nicely into the Nestabilities oval. Am off to bed now, it's suddenly got very late!
