Crafty Monday
Today was my usual crafting morning with my friend Sandra. We had decided we were going to make wallet cards ready for the swap we are doing on Trimcraft. We made the wallets then decorated them using the sketch from Sketch Saturday.

Cupcake Challenge 10
This week On Cupcake Craft Challenges we have a great sketch by Donna. There are some great cards by the DT so why not pop over and have a look.
I have used a mixture of handmade mulberry papers for this card and the image is a magnolia image I have has sent to me in a RAK. I have used watercolours to colour it and then spritzed it with water to make the colours blead a little

Paint The Town
I really enjoyed making this card. At Daring Cardmakers this week they are asking us to use paint on our cards. So here is my attempt.
I painted the background with pearly watercolours to make it look like water. I then stamped out the mermaid and all the accessories from the woodware Little Mermaids and also painted them with pearly watercolours. It's a shame the photo doesn't show the card at it's best as it is very shimmery
Mothers & Daughters Inspiration
On Mothers and Daughters Creations the challenge this week is an Inspirational Picture. I love doing these and here is my card that I came up with using the picture as inspiration.
DP: Dovecraft Hint of pink
Image: An image i had sent to me I think it is Magnolia. I have rubbed over it with a blush chalk.
Background behind image I have hand drawn with sakura stardust
Autumn
Cute card thursday's challenge this week is an autumnal theme. As I'd been using autumnal colours in my last card, I already had the papers on my table so decided to use them again.
The image is one I sent me in a swap. and it is coloured with watercolour pencils.
M is for Male
I have decide this week to have a go at the ABC Challenge. This weeks letter is M for Male. 
Backing papers: handmade mulberry papers. Not sure the manufacturer as they came in a lot of papers I recieved a while ago.

Embellishments: buttons from my button box. Cut off old clothes a long while ago. Lollipop stick from my daughters crafting box
DT call for Sassy crafts
Emma at Sassy Crafts Online shop is looking for a new DT, so I thought I would give it a go. She asked us to show on our blogs 3 specific pieces of work.
1: A stamped project
This was quite an easy one as most of my work is stamped. The hard part was which one to choose. Finally I chose this one. The image and the sentiment are stamped.
2: My favorite piece of work. I think at the moment my favorite piece has to be this one. I can't really tell you why but i just love it. I think it coculd be the colours and the K&Co backing papers that draw me to it.
3: A project that contains 4 square, 3 small and one large.
Wish me luck everyone I need it and it will be going to a public vote to choose the winners so if you ever pop over to Emma's site think about me and vote he he. Would be a great birthday preasent for me 2 as it is my birthday the day after the closing date of the 21st oct.

I decided to make something bright and cheerful as all we have had recently is rain and i needed some cheering up.

Just a note
Over on Double Dutch this week the challenge is to pimp a notebook. Here is what i came up with from the tutorial supplied.
I made my own notebook for this using my Bind it All. And then made the cover as per instructions. I didn't want to decorate the front too much as I love the DP soo much i didn't want to hide it.
DP : I think it's DCWV but not sure as I recieved it in a RAK

Funky Fairys challenge #37
I love the sketch on funky fairies this week and i also love the freebies that i have downloaded from the blog. Both the backing paper and the decoupaged image are freebies on there so I decided to use them to make this card. The images are just so cute
