Cute Card Thursday Challenge

Hello, hope you are all keeping nice and warm! We still have snow and although I like it I'm getting sick of it now. We've had it since Xmas and being in a village makes it a bit difficult to get into camp etc. Hope this means we will have a nice Summer!!
Onto this week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge and the theme is

Pink and Grey

Here's my card
I have used an Inky Impressions image called Cowgirl Lili. She's been coloured with promarkers.The sentiment is also from Inky Impressions. The papers are a mixture of Basic Grey and Cosmo Cricket. I've layered them onto some grey Bazill cardstock.The flowers and gems are from my stash.
Here's a close up

Cute Card Thursday Challenge

I hope everyone isn't snowed in yet. I've been in Germany for about 9 years now and this is the most snow I've seen. The first day we got here it was snowing but no where near as much as this!! We have about 7-8 inches and it is still snowing hard. But unlike the UK , Germany seems to cope much better, the kids are still at school,buses are running and the shops are all still open.
Enough waffle now onto my Cute Card Thursday card.

The theme this week is
All New

That could be a new beginning card, baby, home etc or it could be new stash.
Here's my card

I've used one of the gorgeous newish stamps from Funky Kit's Sugar Nellie range. This one is called Isla.
She has been coloured with my trusty promarkers. I had to use a trimmer to cut out the rectangle, I usually use my nesties but I've gone and broke my wizard plate so can't use it now!! The papers are Chatterbox and I've stitched around each of the layers. The butterflies have been made with a Martha Stewart punch. The "Spring" has been made with my Cricut.
Here's a close up of the image
Our sponsor this week is Kraftin Kimmie and she is offering 3 of her stamps. Kimmie's DT have also made some cards and you can see them on the blog.
The DT girls have made some gorgeous cards for your inspiration. For all the details on how to join in and to take a look at the DT's work go over to the CCT blog.

A Spoon Full Of Sugar

Happy New Year!!!

That did go quick!!! New year already and a new start so ASOS is back and the theme this week is

Hearts

Here's my card

I've used some older Magnolia images for my card which I found under a pile of images when I was sorting my craft room out. They've been coloured with promarkers.
(Not a very good pic, seems to be permanantly dark here). The heart paper is by Crate Paper and I've stitched around the edges with a zigzag stitch. The I love you is made on my Cricut and the pin I made up myself with bits from my stash.
Here's a closer look at the image.

Our sponsor this week is Michelle from the pixie cottage . Michelle is giving away a gorgeous stamp , you can see it on the ASOS blog.
All the DT girls have made some gorgeous heart projects this week, truly lovely and we are joined by Debby Yates too this week. Her work is just beautiful.
