So let's get onto to what the team have made this week.

Ruth:  I couldn't decide which image to use so I've gone for both!  First up is Kidz Jack which I've coloured with Promarkers and I've added papers I found in my stash along with ribbons, button and half pearls to make a cute little boy card.


And I've used Dottie Baking, again coloured her with Promarkers along with papers from my stash and ribbons and a cute birthday cake charm.


Hello.  This is Kym  here.  For my card I have used a gorgeous unicorn image from the "Birthday Unicorn Set 02" and I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and highlighted the balloon the the unicorn's eyelids with a gold Graphmaster pen.  The Promarkers I have used are:

Unicorn - Cool Grey 1, Cool Grey 2, Cool Grey 3, Cocktail Pink, Purple and Poppy Red
Ladybug and balloon - Poppy Red, Red, Cool Grey 2 and Purple.


Hello, Mary here. The image I am using is Kidz Jack I have used Spectrum Noir pens. TN2, TN4, TN7 AND LY3 For the hair. TN1, TN3, TN5 AND TN6 For the skin .BG1, BG2, BG3 For the shirt, shoes and background. TB5 for the shirt trim. I matted some spare papers from my stash onto black card and arranged them on my card. I printed and colour the image and added it to black card. I used a football SVG file to make the football and stamped 'Happy Birthday' directly to the card.
Hello, Billie A - guest designer.. I am using the fun image called Baking Dottie . I colored her with Copics. I then used Simon Says wonky die to cut her out. For the background paper I used Amy Tangerine paper. I added bakers twine from My minds eye. I stamped the Simon Says sentiment and the apple and fussy cut the apple out. I added some Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to the pie crust and apple slice...


Sharon:  Hi it's Sharon and I decided to use this fabulous Cats Topper for my card. I just love the look on their faces! I coloured my cats using Spectrum Noirs - I wanted a couple of ginger cats in there for brightness, as I wanted some nice bright backing papers to make a nice 'happy' card.



Just fabulous as always ladies.

So let's get onto to what the team have made this week.

Ruth:  I couldn't decide which image to use so I've gone for both!  First up is Two Little Mice which I'e coloured with pencils, distressed the papers (found in my stash and it was the perfect size and match with the ribbon!) and added the ribbon from my stash.


And I've used Fairy Magic as well, coloured with Promarkers and a little bit of glitter on her wings and the butterflies.  The papers I found in my stash and were all offcuts so I've had to be creative in how I added them to the card base!  Ribbon and embroidery thread are from my stash.



Hello, it's Melle Clef : I made a card with this cute stamp : Fairy Magic. Isn't she adorable ! I used prismacolors pencils and a white gel pen for highlights. This girly card is perfect for my little niece birthday.


Hello, I'm Billie A.. I am a Guest designer for June. I created this cute little card with the image called Two little mice.  I love the cute little critters and the love they are showing. I colored the image with copics and used my cloud template. I used an My favorite things sentiment and heat embossed it. I used one of my favorite embossing folders for the background. Close to my heart bling dots finished my card. . This card does make me smile.


Hi - its Vic again. I'm here to share my card with you again. I used "Two little mice" by All Dressed Up. It's a really sweet image. I used a range of brown promarkers and spectrum noirs to colour the mice. I embossed a background and put it with a strip of my fave pattern at the mo... polka dots! My fave shade too... a duck egg blue. The sentiment  is a stamp from a bargain hunkydory set, which I recently spotted for 20p in a charity shop! I punched a few butterflies with my Martha Stewart punch, to finish the card.



Hi Janet here, I've also used the All Dressed Up image 2 Little mice. I've coloured them using Polychromo pencils. All the background decoration, apart from the largest patterned paper, are bits I found in my left over bits box. They all co-ordinate too. I did the border with a Martha Stewart punch and added some candy dots.


Just fabulous as always ladies.

So let's get onto to what the team have made this week.

Ruth:  I've used Bev The Barmaid on my creation, coloured with Promarkers and papers from my stash (I actually stuck it on the wrong way - wanted vertical stripes but by the time I'd realised it was too late.....)

Hello this is Mary The image I am using is Summer Holiday I printed and coloured the image twice so I could decoupage some of the elements. I have used Spectrum Noir pens. Skintone TN1. T Shirt and Bandanna DR1. For the Suitcases TN4, GB8, EB3. Camper Van IB2. Chrome and Facial Hair BG1, IG4, IG5. Grey and Brown Staedtler fineline pen

Hi - It's Vic! I've chosen to join this extra challenge this week - 
Dr Digi is the sponsor and i know my Dad would LOVE a card with this 2cv citroen image!
I wanted to keep it simple, so kept the rest of the card monotone, in kraft card.
The stars were cut on my bigshot and are actually in an antique gold... but it's hard to see that on the photograph. The "dad" is actually cut from a "happy birthday" die - I love to get lots of uses out of one item! 
I coloured the image with a mixture of my pens - promarkers, and spectrum noirs. 
The background was run through an embossing folder on my bigshot, too. 



Just fabulous as always ladies.
