Pollycraft Monday Challenge - The Great Outdoors + digi winner!

Hello again! I am back with my DT card for this week's Pollycraft Monday Challenge. This week, the lovely Emma has chosen our theme and it is 'The Great Outdoors'. I have made a card using the gorgeous Sonny Honeycloud Rainy Days image.

I used some leftover Pink Paislee papers from a magazine commission and some raindrop paper by Echo Park which was layered up with Die cut kraft which I cut with a Whiff of Joy border die. The gingham was a present from a crafty friend and I die cut the Pink Petticoat sentiment with a My Favourite things Die-namics die. The netting was from my local craft shop and the flowers from my stash, oh and one last thing...the charm and button are from The Ribbon girl! I certainly piled it all on for this card but I love the finished result!
I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge. We are sponsored this week by Crafty Emma's store which stock so many lovely goodies including ALL my favourite paper collections, it's no surprise I never have any money with all tempting goodies Emma has in store!

On last week's Challenge, I offered the chance to win the Little Stars digi I used on my card to be drawn from one of the commenters on the post. Random org picked no7 from the 21 comments which is Carly!
Can you please send me an email to milliesmarvels@gmail.com and I will arrange for your image to be sent to you. Have a great Day!

Introducing....Ronnie Painting

My lovely DT 'Boss' and Friend Emma of Crafty Emma's Store is releasing a new digital Ronnie image today to help raise funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance in memory of her Dad who was tragically killed at work in September 2009.

Helen from Ellephantastic has drawn a wonderful image for Emma called 'Ronnie Painting' which is available to buy here from today..

I made a card using Pink Paislee papers and one of my new Spellbinders dies. I think I am getting the hang of my new sewing machine as I am much happier with the sewing on this one! I used twine to tie some little tags together for my sentiment and added a button and a couple of pearls as a finishing touch.
Please visit Emma's Digital images page for all the information on her Fundraising.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

CES Challenge #14 - Vintage Christmas

It's time for another CES Challenge and this time we have a theme of Vintage Christmas.
I don't do much 'vintage' so this was a bit of a Challenge for me but I am delighted with my finished card.


I used Pink Paislee 'Father Christmas' papers to decorate the base card which was made using a scalloped circle Nestie. The ribbon and trim are Websters and they are delicious. I triple embossed a small Santa image from the paper pack to make a mini enamelled picture to add to the card and finished with a pin, snowflake and button and lots of pearls.
Make sure you check out the Challenge blog for lots of Vintage inspiration and take part in the Challenge for the chance to win the Pink Paislee papers I used for my card.
Have a great Saturday!

Emma has a delivery of new Wild Rose Studio stamps coming into her shop next week, they are all wonderful and I will be treating myself when they arrive!

A Ruby Anniversary Cuthbert card.

I have been so busy this week and I have loads to do today as well, it seems never ending at the moment! I will be glad when the kids are on holidays in a couple of weeks!
I didn't get a chance to make a card with the Pollycraft Friday freebie, make sure you go over and get your 'On the Ball Maurice', he is great and I will definitely be using him on a card soon.

I made this quick card yesterday morning before going to work for a colleague and his wife who are celebrating their Ruby Anniversary soon. I coloured Cuthbert with Promarkers and added him to the card with foam pads. The papers are Basic Grey and Pink Paislee, the ribbon was bought from Tesco at Christmas, the word stamps are Elzybells and the stickers are Prima. I added a heart button and some red gems as a finishing touch.
I hope you have a good Saturday!
