Well it is time to challenge myself again and this time I need to make a card for a man or boy. Luckily there are some incredible artist out there that can make it so much easier :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my card I have coloured this super cute digi from Mo's digital pencil (<a href="http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/dragon-hugs/">dragon hugs</a>) with <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/cat_1299278-Spectrum-Noir-Illustrator.html">spectrum noir illustrator pens</a>, The papers are <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5838450-NEW-First-Edition-6x6-FSC-Paper-Pad-Wild-Flower.html">first editions wild flowers</a> and <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5403901-Just-For-Men-6-x-6-Paper-Pad-Brights-Collection.html">Crafters companion Just for men brights</a>. It is all on a <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5436083-6x6-Cards-Envelopes-White-50-Pack.html">6x6 card</a> and the little glossy blobs are the brilliant <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5554922-Enamel-Accents-Black-Tie.html">black tie enamel accents</a>. It was all stuck together using <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5403571-Collall-AllPurpose-Glue-Transparent-100ml.html">collall glue</a>.</div>

It is time for another challenge over at the <a href="http://craftypurplefrog.blogspot.co.uk/">Crafty Purple Frog</a> and for my project this time I have done something a bit different and used the beautiful Hobby Arts stamps <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5838302-Peonies.html">peonies</a> and <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5838370-Poppy-heads.html">poppy heads</a> with some fabric paint to decorate this bag :) I also added some little blue dots around the images just to break up some of the white space.</div>

I promise i will get off of the rain theme for the next make but I couldn't resit colouring this cutie up and putting her on a card :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then I saw the gorgeous new <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/cat_1273771-Glitter.html">Wow! glitters</a> and I just had to team them up with her. So this is really just a 5x7 card and an extra little bit of white card for the frame around her. The borders and the stripe have all been done with the amazing glitters and double sided tape. The glitters I used were <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5440642-NEW-Wow-sparkles-glitter-Santorini-15ml-pot.html">Santorini</a> (the blue one) and <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5440630-NEW-Wow-sparkles-glitter-Celebration-15ml-pot.html">Celebration</a> (the silver one). For the great little pink blobs I used my other new favorite thing <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/cat_1299230-Enamel-Accents.html">enamel accents</a>. This one is called <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5555087-Enamel-Accents-Pink-Gumball.html">pink gumball</a>. The rain drop stamps and the sentiment are from Stampin' Up's Weather together set and the main lady is from <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5453245-Look-for-rainbows.html">Kraftin' Kimmie's Look for rainbows set</a>. I coloured her using the following spectrum noir illustrator pens:</div>

I had so much fun making this card. I loved playing with the <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/cat_1299230-Enamel-Accents.html">enamel accents</a> but think I could do with more practice :D </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this card I used a <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5436083-6x6-Cards-Envelopes-White-50-Pack.html">6x6 card</a> and some green card that I then stamped using Stampin' Up Avant-garden stamp set that is one of the sale-a-bration free sets. The brilliant main girl and the sentiment are from the <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5453140-Make-a-Splash.html">Kraftin' Kimmie make a splash</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It is that time of year when all us crafters get all loved up and get asked to create valentines cards and creations. So this month at Crafty Purple Frog we would love to see what you are making. The theme is love. It can be valentines,wedding or any creation for someone you love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is what I have made. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5436041-5x5-Cards-Envelopes-Scalloped-White-50-Pack.html">5x5 scalloped card</a> for the base and the pretty roses paper is <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5653355-First-Edition-6x6-FSC-Paper-Pad-Black-Out.html">First editions black out paper</a>. For a touch of texture I added gorgeous <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5432383-Dovecraft-Christmas-Basics-Pearls-Red-and-Green.html">red pearls</a> and the image is <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5479892-Cutesy-Anya.html">the greeting farm Cutesy Anya</a>, coloured with <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/cat_1299278-Spectrum-Noir-Illustrator.html">spectrum noir illustrator pens.</a> I put it all together with <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5403571-Collall-AllPurpose-Glue-Transparent-100ml.html">collall glue</a> and <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5403973-Collall-AllPurpose-Glue-Transparent-100ml.html">3D gell</a> to make her stand out from the rest of the card.<br />
The
little hearts around the edge and the main sentiment are from stampin'
up sealed with love stamp set. If you like Stampin' Up or want to find out more about them I am also a Stampin' Up demo so feel free to get in touch :D<br />

I just could not resist this little guy when I saw him over at Mo's digital pencil. I coloured him up with promarkers and then used some mica spray on a <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5436092-4x4-Cards-Envelopes-White-25-Pack.html">4x4 card</a> before drawing round the edge and finishing it off with a sentiment stamp from <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5453296-Buds-and-blooms.html">Krafitin' Kimmie's buds and blooms</a> set. </div>

This image spoke to me most as I am just setting up my own online craft shop having been running craft getaways for a while I am branching out on my own and hoping that from the tiny seeds I can make something great. Time will tell. I have just ordered some of Mo's great images in stamp form from Penny Black and am waiting for them to arrive from America. I really want to try a support the companies and people who have inspired me in my own crafting and can't wait to get a fuller range in :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you like challenges and the chance to win prizes I am starting a challenge blog for the new shop and will be looking for a DT as well. The first challenge will be on the 10th of November at the <a href="http://craftypurplefrog.blogspot.co.uk/">Crafty Purple Frog blog</a> so keep an eye on it. </div>

I loved making this card. I just can't get enough of Mo Manning's images and this little <a href="http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/dwarf-7/">dwarf 7</a> is just brilliant for a manly card. I always struggle so much with mens cards and I have to say this image makes it very easy :D I coloured him with promarkers and tore around the edges before doodling around the him and then using <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5414507-Ground-Espresso-Distress-Ink-Pad.html">ground espresso ink</a> with my <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5452993-DREAMWEAVER-STENCIL-BRUSH-SET-3.html">dreamweaver brushes</a> to distress all the edges. The paper is from <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5403901-Just-For-Men-6-x-6-Paper-Pad-Brights-Collection.html">crafters companion brights set</a>. The twine is from <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5432635-Dovecraft-Forget-Me-Not-Twine-Spool.html">dovecrafts forget me not pack. </a>The great fun sentiment is from the <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5440252-Smiles-and-Years.html">smiles and years</a> set. </div>

I am just back from a crafting weekend with Crafty Purple frog. We had a brilliant time crafting for the whole weekend surrounded by other crafters and with drinks and cakes on hand at all times. It was bliss!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While there I made several cards. These are a couple of them.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this first one I used a <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5414585-Dovecraft-C6-Rectangular-Cards-and-Envelopes-50-pack.html">C6 card</a> that I stamped all over using stamps from the pretty <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5414477-Butterfly-Lullaby-Photopolymer-A6-Stamp-Set-Just-for-You.html">butterfly lullaby</a> set. I stamped the main swirls in <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5391389-Gray-flannel-Memento-dye-Ink-Pad.html">memento gray flannel ink</a> and then used <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5388968-Wow-Clear-ultra-slow-drying-embossing-pad.html">wow! ultra slow drying embossing pad</a> to stamp the butterflies and emboss them using <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5437117-NEW-Avocado-15ml-pot.html">avocado</a> (one of the new Wow! colours) and <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5389016-Colour-Blend-Strawberry-Sundae-15ml-pot.html">strawberry sundae</a>. Then I inked around the card with my <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5452993-DREAMWEAVER-STENCIL-BRUSH-SET-3.html">dreamweaver brushes</a> and <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5414534-Hickery-Smoke-Distress-Ink-Pad.html">hickery smoke distress ink</a>. The pink paper is a tiny strip from <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5432158-Dovecraft-Back-To-Basics-Goody-Bag-Pink.html">Dovecrafts pink goody bag</a>. The die cut swirl is <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5403448-Butterfly-Lullaby-Die-Fancy-Flourishes.html">Fancy flourishes</a>. And to finish it off I used the great sentiment stamp <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5432449-Dovecraft-Clear-Sentiment-Stamp-Friendship.html">Friendship</a>. The little dots I made using more of the strawberry sundae embossing powder and <a href="http://www.craftypurplefrog.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5389040-Wow-MeltIt-Powder-160ml-pot.html">melt - it powder</a>.</div>
