A bookkeeping Christmas

Good Morning Everyone, 
Today's card is another order from the last craft fair. I've used the gorgeous Librarian from Saturated Canary for this card. I know it's not a Christmas image, but he wanted a card for his wife and guess what she does!...

I've coloured her with promarkers, and the background papers are from Lili of the Valley.

I've used a spellbinders poinsettia die, and a Marianne Creatables ivy die. The ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
Passion for Promarkers - Include a sentiment
Divas by Design - Anything Goes

We're going to the pictures after school with friends to see 'Frozen'. It looks quite funny in the trailer so I'm looking forward to that, and I'll catch up with you all later!

Thanks for taking the time to visit me today and for all your lovely comments.

Hello Everyone,
Today's card is following a sketch at the Sugar Bowl, with the option to use your favourite Sugar Nellie stamp. . . mmmm. . .hard one - I love so many of the sugar nellies!! LOL

I've used Simply Sassy stamp called 'Butterflies & Pigtails' and I've coloured her with my promarkers.

I bought a new Butterfly die from Marianne Creatables, and then found a Martha Stewart butterfly punch that I've had for ages lurking at the back of a drawer!! (I'd totally forgotten I had it!!) So I used both - I think I might be using these quite a bit now!!

The background papers are from Nitwits, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and I typed the sentiment on my computer.

Star Wars

Hello,

My Hubby and Son are Star Wars mad, and I'd be in trouble if I didn't like it too! To be honest I love the Star Wars films and when I saw this Saturated Canary digi image from Krista Smith I knew I had to have him!! He's called 'Force'

I've coloured him with promarkers. My Son has big brown eyes so I think I'll have to save this card for his next birthday!

The background papers are a mix from K and Company and craft Creations. I've used an x-cut die to make the stars. I was pleased with this when I finished it but now I'm wondering if I've left it a bit too plain!

I'd like to enter the following challenges;-

Simon Says Stamp - Follow Dawny's Sketch
Papertake Weekly - A Stitch in Time
My Mums Craft Shop Challenge - Favourite Song/Movie ( Star Wars films)
Joanna Sheen - Someone Special - (My Son)

Have  a great Weekend everyone and thanks for taking the time to stop by.
