Colour challenge at The Outlawz.

Hello all!
This is a scheduled post that I wrote last week as I wasn't sure I would have time to do so now (if you get what I mean!)    Anyway, hopefully we landed back in the UK yesterday after a fantastic vacation taking in Yellowstone, Monument Valley and other sights in Utah, Nevada, Montana and Wyoming.  We now need to stock up on new electrical appliances and a complete food pantry for our English house and wait for all our belongings and furniture to arrive after being shipped across the Atlantic!!  We also need to get an internet connection set up so I can start blog visiting and commenting again - it's been a while......

                    So, on to the challenge from The Outlawz Alcohol Markers DT and this week, it's a colour challenge using this palette as inspiration - 

          We're being sponsored this month by Delicious Doodles with a great prize of 4 digis for the random winner - great incentive to join in.

                     For my card, I used a Dilly Beans digi, coloured with Copics and added a flourish and sentiment cut using my Silhouette Cameo, adding all of these onto a patterned cardstock base.

Thanks for stopping by and hanging in there with my endless whinges about all that is involved in moving home from one country to another.  My life will soon be settling down to some sort of normality again!

A late post!

Hello all!
I'm late with my Friday posting for The Outlawz Alcohol Markers challenge but I'm enjoying myself on vacation so I have a good excuse.  We've been travelling around for a couple of weeks now and internet connection can be as slow as treacle in some places so I really haven't been online much at all - just adding some daily photos on Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends.
                    Anyway the theme this week is Wedding/Anniversary in line with the summer wedding season and for my card I coloured a Make It Crafty digi and put that over a background of song lyrics - the Beatles "When I'm 64".

                                          Please check out the fabulous creations from my team-mates.   Thanks for stopping by - will be back to commenting and visiting your blogs in a couple of weeks when we've settled back into our English house!

A couple of cards.

Hello all!
This is a scheduled post, written before we took to the road so fingers crossed that it gets posted!

    I have 2 cards to share - the first one is for the challenge over at Time Out Challenges, where the theme is "Summer" with the optional twist of flowers.  I used a A Day for Daisies digi, coloured with Copics and put it on a splattered background, adding a stamped sentiment.

        The second card is for the Friday Alcohol Markers challenge over at The Outlawz where the theme is "Inspired by a book/movie/song".  We are being sponsored by Delicious Doodles for the month of June and I used one of the fab digis for my card.  I was inspired by the song "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" and used my Copics to colour the image, framing it with some colour-matching cardstock, adding a few punched out butterflies.

Thanks for stopping by and again, apologies for being so slack in blog visiting and commenting but we're on vacation and have very limited internet access for the next two weeks.   We're hoping to be fully connected again a few days after we move back to our Cambridge house at the end of June!
