I had a bit of a colouring in session yesterday - I printed off and stamped loads of Christmas images and then had a play with my promarker pens. 
I can't believe my Grandad will be 100 years old soon. He is an amazing man who still lives on his own and loves growing his own fruit and vegetables. He even has a girlfriend from the nearby old folks home! On the other side of the family, my grandmother just celebrated her 95th birthday so I hope I have inherited their genes.
Like many of you, I make far too many cards for my own use so I advertised them on my local Freecycle site to see if any charity or community group would like them to help with fund-raising. So now the local Womans Refuge, Childrens kids club and MacMillian Nurses will be getting 25 each to help them.
I really got into using the Jade/Teal colour scheme - particularly with brown or rusty reds. This one uses a piece of recycled jade coloured card which was originally a folder from work. I run this through the Cuttlebug and layered it with Kaiser craft Gypsy sisters die cuts and a marianne designs flower
I have only just stumbled upon this, but Sue has a fab pile of candy if you can help her with her fund raising for Ovarian cancer - she is asking for cards made with a teal colour scheme for a craft event next week - so you must post them off to her quickly!
I've decided that this year I'm going to use a pale blue and purple colour scheme for most of my Christmas cards - mainly because of these fab NitWit papers that are free with Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine. I also have downloaded a NitWit Great Expectations kit which is ideal for any New Baby cards. I'm also tempted by their Gone Fishing and Halloween Hooligan collections as well!
The Blog Candy I won from Debbi arrived today in 2 parcels! There were Sugar Nellie stamps stamps, yummy papers, stickers, gorgeous charms and of course, 20 different promarker pens! 
The image is a cute hanglar boy on his bike and I've used autumn colours and a little felt bunny rabbit as embellishment. 
I received these 2 great atcs as part of the 'Wings and Things' atc swap that was arranged by Craft Stamper Magazine.
I just love the fab autumn owl papers from this months Making Cards Magazine. I was given a £15 voucher as a thank you for helping out at work. So I blew it all in my local craft shop! 
I bought Quick Cards Made Easy magazine today and the free Christmas snow globe card kit has inspired me to start making my Xmas cards at last!
Couldn't resist making another card with this lovely image of Willow from Whiff of Joy - this time with a pink and raspberry colour scheme. 
Isn't this a sweet image of Summer Willow by Whiff of Joy. I wanted to try a different combination of colours - I don't think I have used mainly red and lilac before!
Horray my new camera has arrived - didn't realise how much I would miss not having one for a few days, couldn't put anything to sell on eBay and couldn't update this blog or post on the docrafts site! Anyway here are a couple or cards I made yesterday, the Get well card looks a bit too' busy' for me
I made this Beatles themed card for my son who is really into them at the moment ( I blame X-box for the Beatles Rock Band game). I let him have 3 friends over for a sleepover to celebrate his birthday and what happens ..... he manages to break my digital camera whilst taking some photos and messing about. He is going to have to give me some of his birthday money towards a new one as I can't manage without one - how would I keep this blog up to date?
Made a couple of cat themed cards using the cute Me-Wow die cut cats from the Nitwit collection - whilst trying to type this mad Moxxi the kitten decided to walk all over my keyboard!
Moxxi, the boy, has the white paws and bib and is already proving to be bold, adventurous and cheeky!
I married up some spotty ribbon with my martha stewart doily lace and marianne flower then and finished it off with 3 candy dots for a very spotty card!
