Fetching Skye
Hello
Anyone missed my thousands of posts and pics about our new pup Skye??? Don't worry I will go on and on about her for a while yet!! Even my crafting it not safe and is full of dogs at the mo.
So Dr Digi have this image called FETCHING FIDO. Skye didn't know what a ball was when we got her but the natural instincts to chase and fetch are now coming out when she plays and she loves a stick in her mouth whilst she is out walking - Its so lovely to see her settling and relaxing with us.
Its a lovely Sunny day but Autumn is definitely around the corner so this afternoon its time for a good walk.
Have a great day -

Hole in one Hal
Firstly ... I know ... I should have done a football card (Well Done England!!) but honestly its been a bit crazy busy here with house reno's and work etc so I am showing you the last card I did for the magazine a while back. I've kept it in reserve for this very reason... This is Hole in one Hal and he is such a fun image to colour.
So I have a question for your crafty folk... do you make your cards from start to finish in one go or in stages... I have loads of images coloured as thats the bit I love doing but then I need inspiration for how to make then in to a card. I should do the whole thing as I go along right? So be interested to know what your creative process is... if you have one!
Hole in one Hal was coloured using copics and papers are from My Minds Eye and Doodlebug. The greeting is from Make it Crafty and an embossing folder was used to make the golf ball effect pattern in the background.
I hope you like him and take a look at all the wonderful images at Dr Digi.

ADU Feed the birds
There is a new challenge starting over at All Dressed Up and as always the theme is anything goes as long as it is using an All Dressed Up Image. Ive used Feed the Birds
Now I coloured this image up whilst I was on our little holiday in the glamping lodge- I was sitting by the log burner , colouring by virtually candle light and drinking red wine feeling all snug and autumnal. (I've added a few pics as its an indulgent memory for me!! ) Today - a month later and the weather is warmer at 18 degrees and I'm sitting in a t-shirt! What is going on!!??
I used Prismacolor pencils to colour the image and I die cut it with a spellbinders die. The edge of the patterned paper I did with a punch from Woodware. The paper is from My Favourite things and the background paper has wood grain effect and is from Bazzill basics. I added a wooden embellishment leaf and little bird and finally tied some twine in a bow and secured it with a matte enamel dot sprinkle from Doodlebug.
I tell you there are million worst places to colour! I would love to go back - reckon I could quite happily life a simple life!!
All for now - looking forward to seeing lots of enteries!!

Food is love!
Morning -
Today is the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter and the theme is Love is in the Air. I have used this fab image called Trattoria Chef.
I definately love food!!! And get a great deal of enjoyment from eating. In fact my day is probably planned around meals and what the next thing to eat will be!!
I kept the card fairly simple and the image as the key focus. I coloured him in with promarkers an fussy cut around him. I die cut a large heart using a Spellbinders Nestibilites from My Favourite Things Paper pad Hearts and Stripes collection. I added some ribbon from my stash and three striped Card Candi dots from Craftworks cards.
The greeting was stamped using letters from Lawn Fawn alphabet called Harold's ABC. Finally I added Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen over the grey fork to make it look metallic.
I coloured the image with these promarkers & Flexmarkers -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Apron - Red, Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy
Hair & Fork - Cool Greys
Spaghetti - Saffron & Sandstone.
Meatball - Pine, Saddle Brown & Burnt Umber.
Sauce - Firebrick & Poppy.
Powder blue on the whites to shade
Hope you like this card and agree with me that the way to the heart is definitely through the stomach!!

Our First Wedding Anniversary.
Wow - that year has flown! Today is our first Wedding Anniversary. So today's card is one I made for my Husband (still weird saying that!) to celebrate. First Wedding gifts are traditionally paper so that's an easy one for any crafter... Just give us a paper pad and we are happy as larry. (Who was Larry??) This is actually Morris and Mildred or is this the future for us... Ben would have to shrink from his 6ft5 and would have to put on a little weight!!
The card is made with a background from Doodlebug Sweethearts paper. I coloured and cut around Morris and Mildred and glued them on to the card. I used a fine black liner pen and drew the broken line around the paper panel. I die cut a little heart using Spellbinders nestibilities die and added the wooded button with some red twine. I attached a strip of pale blue lace from Papermania and added the extra words and numbers with Doodlebug letters. Finally I added some pearl hearts from Hobbycraft.
I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - usual
Morris' suit - Warm Greys
hair - Cool Greys
Dress - Pink Mittens,
Flowers and waist coat - Carmine, Vermillion & Poppy.
Leaf green and Lush green leaves
Powder blue eyes.
Ben got me these lovely flowers which are a bouquet full of different Peonies. They are my favourite and we had Peonies for our wedding flowers.
So that's all for me now so I will be back soon with some inspiration from All Dressed up.
Have a great day,

Christmas Decorations.
Morning - there is a new challenge starting today at The Paper Shelter which will run over the christmas holidays. I have used an image called Christmas Decorations but it is an Anything Goes Challenge.
I have used paper and a greeting from October Afternoon called Holiday style as the retro images seemed to match the image. I die cut the image and the gold mat using a spellbinders nestibilities die which also has a retro feel. I used some pine twine from Tim Holtz and attached to it a large wooden bauble that I have embellished myself using gems and a gold pen to add details. Finally I added the little blue bow.
I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin- Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & spice.
Top - Pink Mittens, Baby Pink, Cocktail pink & Carmine.
Hair - Buttercup, Mustard, Sleigh Bells & Raw Sienna.
Skirt - Red, Poppy, Ruby, Cardinal Red & Burgundy.
Tree - Holly, Forest Green, Pine & Pear Green.
Demin Blue.
I'd love to see loads of enter in the challenge and hope you get some time to craft during the holidays.
Have a lovely few days and I'll be back on Christmas day with some more inspiration.
Happy Christmas,
Liz (:(|)x

I dies cut three hearts from red Bazzill card and little strip of yellow hearts. The greeting is a sticker from My Minds Eye Necessities.
I used gold pen to add some detail to the digi image and also some white pen to the water. Finally I gave the water a little sparkle with a white Wink of Stella pen.
I used these Promarkers & Flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Antique white, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.

Zac is 3. (When did that happen??)
Im posting today the card I made for our Godsons 3rd Birthday. This is such a lovely image from All dressed up stamps- which you can find here. It is called It's a Pirates Life.
It was really fun to colour and I love using blues and reds together and I thought it would look good on a circular card base. I used a scalloped circle Nestibilities die from Spellbinders to cut the image and the blue mat- which is from Doodlebug Kraft in colour collection. The ribbon co-ordinated well with the colour of the waves and allowed me to attached the tag which is from Craftwork cards.
I used Doodlebug pendant stickers which I mounted onto black card to stand out and also Doodlebug numbers and letters to spell on today.
I used stickles on the clouds to make them shimmer and added some silver pen to the anchor and swords as well as some gold to other metal objects. I also used white gel pen on the waves to give them a little dimension. You can't really see it on these pictures but I used some pale blue pencil to tint the sky.
I used these promarkers and flexmarkers on the image -
Boat - Tan, Nutmeg, Raw Sienna, Cocoa & Burnt Umber.
Skin - Antique white, Blush, Soft Peach & Coral.
Clothes and flags - True Blue & Poppy Red.
Flags & Hat - Cool greys 5, 4&3 (1 to shade the white areas)
Sea - Sea mist, Pastel Green & Oasis.

Stars Wars is every where are the moment - so I thought I'd share this card with you all! This image and greeting is from Whimsy Doodles and is called Obi Wan to Kiss.
I used a kraft base - which I often turn to when making cards for men. The red banner is cut from Pebbles Merry Christmas paper. I die cut a Spellbinders Nestibilities scalloped circle and then used a My favourite things die cut to make the holes. I used a corner punch to round the corners of the greeting and glued this one with a little red heart gem. I also used some Marianne Design dies to cut the Mistletoe from Green satin card and added some pearls for the berries.
To colour Obi Wan I used these Promarkers and flexmarkers -
Skin - Blush & Soft Peach.
Mistletoe - Emerald & Pine.
Hair - Blue greys
Hat - Poppy & Ruby
Robes - Cappuccino & Raw sienna

Time for tea.
Morning all - Its TIME for another challenge - in fact is Challenge #291Time at I Love Promarkers.
I used this lovely image from Tiddly inks image called Alice - time for tea.
It was nice to make a bright and summery card amidst all the black of Halloween creations and Autumnal colours of brown and orange.
To make this card I used a Spellbinders nestibilities to die cut a frame from mirri card. The background paper is from Echo Park Country Drive range. I added a small blue bow which i tied from my stash of ribbon and looped a little yellow twine around the middle. The greeting - which you can't really read very well on the picture, says "TIME FOR CAKE" and is from a pack of Dovecraft toppers called Cupcake boutique. I added a white paper flower and glued a yellow resin flower in the middle to mirror the pattern on the paper. The two smalled blue flowers are buttons which I glued a yellow homemade enamel dot into the middle of.
I used these Promarkers and Flexmarkers -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft peach, Coral & Spice.
Hair - Buttercup, pineapple crush, Canary, Sleigh bells & Raw Sienna.
Dress - Cloud blue, Colbalt blue & China Blue.
I also used Ice grey 1 & 2 along with some silver pen and glaze on the clock face.

Salon Deirdery
Morning All - It's Sunday Morning and time for me to post my latest card featuring Salon Deirdery from Dr Digi. I love her attitude!
I printed the digi image quite big and allowed Our Deirdery and her furry companion to take centre stage. Obviously she had gone to get her purple rinse so I stuck with the purple colour scheme!
I used a Spellbinders nestability to cut around the image and layered it onto Doodlebug Glitter card stock. I used some two tone ribbon glued to the top and used the reverse to make the bow. I added a couple of gems in coordinating colours and added the colour panel using 3d foam. I added a little glaze to the dryers to give a glass effect.
I used these promarkers and flexmarkers -
Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & Spice.
Hair - Blue pearl & Bluebell
Chair - Aniseed, Lime Zest & Pear green. Legs & arms - Ice Grey 5, 3 & 1
Dress - Pale Blossom, Baby pink & Carmine.
Dog - Vanilla, Saffron, Raw sienna & Cocoa. Poppy on his collar.
Cushion - Burgandy, Cardinal red & Lipstick Red.
Dryer & plug - Blue grey 1 & 2
Icicle to give shadows.
I also used a little silver pen to add some glaze to the metal elements.

I added a couple of gems in coordinating colours and added the colour panel using 3d foam. I added a little glaze to the dryers to give a glass effect.
I used these promarkers and flexmarkers -
Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & Spice.
Hair - Blue pearl & Bluebell
Chair - Aniseed, Lime Zest & Pear green. Legs & arms - Ice Grey 5, 3 & 1
Dress - Pale Blossom, Baby pink & Carmine.
Dog - Vanilla, Saffron, Raw sienna & Cocoa. Poppy on his collar.
Cushion - Burgandy, Cardinal red & Lipstick Red.
Dryer & plug - Blue grey 1 & 2
Icicle to give shadows.
I also used a little silver pen to add some glaze to the metal elements.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Brown Sugar - Animals
Crafts 4 Eternity - ATG
Jo's Scrap Shack - ATG
That's crafty - Purple Passion.
Crafting by design - ATG.
Crafty Gals Corner - ATG
Digi Choosday - Animals
All from me for the time being - see you again on Wed when it will be time for another I love promakers challenge.

Hole in one Hal - Father's Day
This is Hole in one Hal from Dr Digi. This is my latest DT post over at the Dr Digi blog. I've made this for Father's Day for the future Father in law.
I used 3 different papers from My Minds Eye Lime Twist range called Out of the Blue. Its one of my favourites for Men's cards and I am nearly running out - but I'm not sure its around anymore.
I fussy cut around the digi image and die cut two scalloped circles one in Salt Bazzill Swiss dot and one in black which I used to mount everything. I used a Friskars edge punch on the Orange paper and also on the black but staggered it so that it created an mounted edge.
I die cut the Happy and Day from the same black bazzill card stock and used Amy Tangerine - American crafts Thickers to spell out Fathers.
I used 3d foam to attach Hal to the die cut and also to attach 3 white card candi from Craftworks Cards that reminded me of Golf balls! I also added a little glaze to his sun visor.
To make this card I coloured the image with Promarkers and Flexmarkers.
Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & spice.
Hair, golf bag & Shoes - Ice Greys 1 - 5
Top - Soft Peach, Mango, Peach & Orange.
Shorts - Capri Blue, Midnight blue & Navy Blue.
Clubs - Ice Grey 2, 4 & 5
Socks & Bag strap - Lime Zest, Lime Green & Pear Green.
I also outlined the whole image with Frozen Lake.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -

Carousel Horse.
This is my latest DT card for the I Love Promarkers Challenge Blog. The image is from The Stamping Boutique and is called Carousel Horse.
The papers are all from My Minds Eye collection called Find your wings and Fly. The "so sweet" sticker is also from the same range. I die cut the image using a spellbinders nestabilities die and I added some aqua ribbon and pink ribbon tied through the holes - both are from my ribbon stash (Which is huge and I'll show you a picture one day - they are all organised in jars by colour!)
The enamel dots I made from Perle beads and the Button is from Do Crafts. I mounted the image on 3d foam to give it some dimension and you can't really see it here on the picture but I also added a little Star dust stickles to the dots around the image.
The promarkers and flexmarkers I've used are -
Horse -Warm grey 1, 3 & 4
Maine - Pale Pink, Salmon Pink & Antique pink.
Saddle - Aquqmarine & Oasis
Pole - Soft Lime, Buttercup & Pineapple Crush.
Ribbon - Magenta & Cerise.
Hope you like it - Its a really versatile image and could be used for so many different occassions.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Sister Act Card - ATG
Art By Miran - ATG
Challenge up your life - Use a digi
Doodle Pantry - ATG.
CCC Digi creations - Layers.
Crafty Hazelnut - Patterned paper.

Dunderton Academicals RFC.
Wow its Sunday morning again already! These weeks are flying by too quickly. Today Im showing you my DT card for over at Dr Digi using Dunderton Academicals FC and his Balls. I used the balls to change the image from a Football player to a Rugby Player.
I'm trying to get ahead and make some Fathers Day cards ready for 21st June. I made this one with my Dad in mind - Who played rugby well into his 50's. Now at 70 - its a more sedate affair of Bowls! I have many happy memories of days spent hanging around the rugby club watching Dad play whilst the Mum were in the club house cooking up Pie and mash. I've made this card in the team colours and Derek looks more like my Dad today rather than back when he was playing!
I cut the image using Spellbinders Dies which I mounted on to the Bazzill Green stripe using the large Nestabilities. I cut a strip of Bazzill Black stripe glossed paper and stuck this to the side. I used homemade enamel dots in co-ordinating red and green and added the letters DAD using Doodlebug stickers. I also added a little glaze to his glasses to make them shine.
I used these Promarkers & Flexmarkers on Derek Dunderton -
Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & Spice.
Shirt - Red, poppy & Cardinal Red / Forest green & apple
Shorts - Ice Greys
Shoes - Warm Greys
Grass - Meadow green, Forest green & apple
Sky - Glacier blue.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Digi Galore - Fathers Day
Creative Corner - Just for Dad.
Patties Creations - Fathers Day.
C.R.A.F.T - Colour Combo
Double Click - Fathers Day.
Inky Impressions - Make it for a Man
Simon says - Make it Masculine
Colour Throwdown - Colour combo
Love to Scrap - Male Call.
The Paper Girl -Fathers Day
All for now - See you Wed if not before....

Little Darcey Grace.
I made this card for my Friends Bev & Magnus who have just welcomed their daughter into the world. They have called her Darcey Grace and she is lovely.
I kept the card simple as for a baby card I don't think it should be too blingy or garish (Like my cards often can be!)
The image is called Bentley and Bunny and is from Digi Stamp Boutique. I die cut the image using a Spellbinders Nestabilities die and mounted it on the next size up. I used a cloud die from Die-namics to cut apertures from the Kraft card. I wrapped some pink striped ribbon from Doodlebug around the base and stuck the base down with 3d foam to give it some dimension. I knotted the ribbon and tied a pink dotty button around it with some pearl twine.The letters and numbers are from Doodlebug also.
I added some crystal Gems from Papermania and a pink heart button from my stash.
On Bentley I used warm grey promarkers
On Bunny I used Baby Pink, Cerise & Pale Blossom.
I added a little Glacier Blue around the bunnies and also to add some subtle cloud shadows.
I used Honeydew, Green Shoots & leaf green to colour the Grass.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
The Cutie Pie - Layers
Die Cutting Diva - Baby Love.
Bunny Zoe - Buttons and Bows.
Make My Monday - Kraft.
Come and get it - die cut, pink & gems.
Cute Card Thursday - Too cute.
Red Rubber Inspirations - 222 Baby
Crafty Creations - All creatures great & small.
Digi Stamp Boutique - ATG
Simon Says Stamp - ATG Wed challenge.

Enjoy Retirement.
I made this card as a special request for a Retirement card. I used an image called Deirdery's Day Off from Dr Digi. I love the humour in these images but still wanted it quite feminine.
I stuck to two patterned papers from My Minds Eye - Now & Then Collection onto a sheet the same size as the the card and attached a strip of co-ordinating Bazzill Swiss Dot. I then Die cut the circle from Spellbinders which I stuck on top of the coloured image using 3d foam so it was raised. I also drew around the die to get a slightly larger frame which I cut by hand. I paper pieced the Sunshade and towel and added glaze to her glasses, jug and Cocktail.
I used a Die-namics die to cut the Banner and added Websters pages letter stickers to spell out "Retirement" - Luckily there were just enough flags! I cut "Enjoy" from glitter paper using my Cameo machine - Which I really need to use more to its full potential!
Finally I added a ribbon bow tied with a button and twine, along with some pink gems to add the Bling.
Deirdery is coloured with the following Promarkers and Flex markers -
Skin - Spice, Coral, Soft Peach, Blush, Antique White
Hair - Baby Pink, Cerise, Lipstick Red.
Swim suit - Honeydew, Pastel Green, Frosted Jade,
Sun lounger - Cocoa, Caramel, Cinnamon.
The drink is coloured with Soft Lime, Yellow & Mustard. I then went over the top with Frozen Lake to add the Glass effect.
I also used some Warm Grey 3 to add shadow to the paper piecing.
I would like to enter this card into the following Challenge -
Sugar & Betty challenge - ATG
Ants in my pantry - ATG
CCC Challenge - Card Recipe.
