2 cards for a couple of challenges...

... my card making mojo seems to have returned although I think it could be a bit of panic setting in as I hadn't made my boys Christmas cards and thought I had better get a wiggle on, after downloading a fab freebie from Pollycraft I thought the image would be perfect my my eldests card, this is actually the second card I made for him as I was lucky enough to win the postcard stamp from Bev and thought I could use the image on this card (after pinching the sentiment from my favourite L*K cross stitch chart:



The papers are from ebay last year - so not sure of the make, the image has been coloured with pro-markers with fluffy stuff again added to his hat.

I would like to enter this into:
Pollycraft Challenge - Christmas Fun
Cupcake - Teenage Boys

The next card is for my neice who turns 18 just after New Year:

Apologies for the dodgy photo's its quite grey here today and couldnt get the lighting right - anyhoo the image has been in my stash a while I was sent it when I first started card making - I have coloured her with promarkers. For the 18 I printed the numbers of a colouring page website and cut out and matted onto some freebie papers (added stickles round the edge to disguise my dodgy cutting out!!). The papers I think are dcwv from the lovely Sarah, I have then added pearls, ribbon and star pins from my stash. The card blank is the last of my bigger ones from a pound stall at a craft fair.

I would like to enter this into:
CES Challenge - special milestone birthdays
A gem of a challenge - monochrome (hope this is ok the colours are similar just let me know if not and I can remove it from the challenge)

Phew, are you still with me??? lol

Right off to do some ironing - booo!!!

Thanks for looking
