Morning everyone!
Still cold and wet here in my part of the woods - very cold and wet! I thought I was gonna need a boat to get home from work yesterday and the bad weather hadn't even hit us then!
I'm not gonna talk about the weather any longer as I've got a bit of a long post for you today!
It's Tuesday morning and that means there's a 50/50 chance of a new challenge with the
Creative Card Crew - and guess what? Today is one of the days when we have a new challenge!
The challenge for the next fortnight is....
Purple!
And the fab sponsor for this challenge is
Robyn's Fetish
They are offering a fabby prize of 4 digi's to the lucky winner!
The design team were lucky enough to get to play with some of their fab images and this is what I did:
The
Robyn's Fetish image is called Choo Choo Charlie and I coloured it with Promarkers: Aubergine, Slate, Lilac, Forest Green, Lime Twist, Meadow Green, Sky Blue, Arctic Blue, Pastel Blue, Black, Cool Grey 5,4,2,1, Cocoa, Caramel & Sandstone. Phew! I added the text to the trailers on the computer before I printed the image and filled them up with some glossy accents and German glass glitter.
And just for fun I made the image into a slider! Here it is at the start of it's journey..
And here it is at the end of it's journey!
The papers are Stampin' Up! Cheerful Treat and the ribbon and sparkly brads are also Stampin' Up! The cloud die is a Memory Box die.
The inside has more or less the same layout as the front and the sentiment is a Wild Rose Studio one stamped with memento ink in Elderberry.
So go have a look on the
Creative Card Crew's blog to see the rest of the DT's fab creations!

And now back to the subject of the Design Team it's time for my first ever blog hop - and it's even a surprise one!
Our lovely teamie
Jan only went and got married last week! She looked so lovely and happy in her gorgeous photo's that the rest of the DT decided to throw a surprise blog hop in her honour and to say a big huge CONGRATULATIONS!
So if you're following the hop you should've landed here from
Vicky's blog or if you want to start from the start (which seems like the sensible thing to do!) you can go straight to the
Creative Card Crew blog.
Here's a wee card that I've made for the new Mr & Mrs Jan..
I decided to go for a circular card to symbolise the whole never-ending thing! I used this fabby wedding couple stamp from The Greeting Farm and coloured it with the following Copics: Skin;E21,13,00,0000,R20. Bride's hair; E55,53,51 Groom's hair;E37,35,33. Dress;E41,40,Y15,13,11,YG13. Suit;110,C10,8,6,5,3.
The papers are by The Paper Company: Wedding Bouquet and Papermania: Vellum paper. I used a Cheery Lynn Heart to Heart lace doily die and a Magnolia flourish die as well as Spellbinder and Go Kreate circle dies. Another Wild Rose Studio stamp and Stampin' Up punches for the sentiment and finished it off with some Wild Orchid Crafts pearls.
The inside uses more of the same
So that just leaves me to say another congratulations to Jan and the next stop on the hop is
Elisa's blog!
