This is front of my card
And few inside pages, long way to finish it but got time till end of February
From this page a coloured in image is missing and it's done. I love this paper set
The little book opened. to keep the book closed I stuck a bead on the front and under the book a small bit of golden string. 
Inside the card.
We always got to write something abt us and pop it into the card. I hid it behind the image.
My 2nd card is a tunnel card. 
Front of my card. The image is layered on gold mirri what was cut out with my nesty and the other image just edged with gold pen. With my gold pen I coloured a bead what keeps my card close
I've got so many little bits of pretty papers and using them was great fun. I had just a little "L" shape green paper, abt 1"x1" yellow paper, triangle flower paper, strip of vellum, flower backing paper, strip of yellow stripy paper, bit of yellow card for the label and I used the left over from the label. This little cute image was given to me and thought I use it on this note book. I didn't feel like to make a card but I really wanted to decorate my notebook where I'm gonna write in verses, poems, sayings etc
For my colouring I used all sorts. I had to colour little Ribbit with my Shakura glaze pen. I stamped out him 2 more times on the purple paper and an the blue and cut his coat and flower out. The stalk of the flower been coloured with Kaleidacolour ad the middle of the flower and rain drop glaze pen as well. the back grand been coloured with the fluid chalk ink pad and in the end I draw some grass with my glaze pan
I thought the top needs some fancy decoration and I thought of my Glitter Girl's board. For the middle I stamped part of Ribbit out few times.
I have backed 2 12x12 paper to make sure it's sturdy enough. I decorated with lace and some gem and of course my coloured topper
And now my stamped image swaps home lol
I've done a side shot so you can see the depth of this invertage. I made my sketch and I just played. When I cut the circles out had to be careful how the hearts stand on it as I didn't wanted to end up having them all over the place
I took a pic from the top too as from front can't be seen the whole image.
The five challenges as fallows:
Well over at Saturday Spotlight you can't use heart so I covered it up with label ( I was doodling with this card so I posted to late), which made this suitable for Tuesday Taggers. I have coloured my Love birds with my new pro markers(Amber,cocoa,cinnamon,caramel and cool grey 1&2). The Doyle paper's flowers were coloured, with khaki and used my white souffle pen for the middle ( had to make sure Colour Create challenge fits in this too lol )
The edge of circles been coloured with pro-markers(I haven't got cool aqua so I used artic blue) and I made the label in photo shop, I just learned that too lol The love birds from High Hopes and they sooooooo cute. The little label is hand drawn and coloured it with pro-markers (sunflower&amber) and just made a little bow for it.
This flower is absolutely hand made and. I drawn petals in my paint shop and the middle too, coloured it with pro-markers (amber, buttercup&sunflower).
Inside I wanted a bit different as it's gonna be my OH Valentine card from kids, so made it a pop up card and carried the colour theme inside too.
Here is the side view
As I said earlier I printed few papers out what I though would go together, sentiments and some embellishment from the embellishment section. The instructions were clear and simple (except us we were so not their, poor Ellen must of thought she's got a bunch of loonies lol)
I have printed balloon backing paper what I use as an insert. For inside one of the topper was cut with my nesty and coloured the edge with the ink.
My 2Nd card was a "quick" birthday card. Usually I don't need to watch videos to assembly my card but here I had to, cos my cupcake just did not wanted to work.
I have printed some pretty papers from MCS and changed the colour on it to suite me. I made my base than I started to cut&assemble my cupcake. Well once I watched the video I made the cupcake in no time. For the back I got a label from MCS and again changed the colour to my taste (nice chocolate colour yummy lol ) and wrote the sentiment on it. I cut few cupcakes out from the topper sheet and put bit of glitter on it.
Now before you ask how to post. Well this lady incredible cleaver you can close it. It is soooooooo wicked. You will need large stamp on the letter but can be posted.
Thanks for looking.
Just a close up of that cute little bird whos abt to land on my flower.
Fallowing Nikki's sketch this is what I come up with. 
My insert is paper doyley too what I edged with my distress ink. On my insert I made a stamping mistake what I covered up doodling round the sentiment :-) I hate it when I just put on the finishing touches and I mess it up.
I had a great fun to use my Pro-markers. I'm in love with them. I think I got to get the 1st set too lol long time to go as I just got only 73 out of 148 well almost half. I bet by the time I get all there will be more colours to buy. I have used fixative for my chalk so when they handle it no one smudge it. I used Spray&Shine from Crafters Companion but you can buy cheep hair spray to fix it. I used my nesty to give a lovely shape to my image. The ribbon was a left over and it just came handy.
I bought these lime green sequences from 99p store it come with the little flowers and beads too.
Inside I used my sequences again and found a matching backing paper on my Cute Companion CD I just love this CD so versatile. I printed out a matching envelop and a tag to put on the present.
Just few close up of my colouring. Got to improve but I'm sure one day I'll be as good as the girls over the Passion for Pro-Markers Blog . I have decided to enter this holder on their challenge which is: anything but a card – Christmas or New Year theme, well mine is Xmas theme.
This is how my tins looking once I wrapped them in my chosen wrapping paper.
Alfie wanted to have a look and help me when I took the pic so I let him hold it. He was so happy. He even put his Yogurt covered blueberry's in it and eat it out from the tins lol
And here we go the decorated one. I love pingu but love owl too. I hope one day I can see you doing some recycling too.
Happy Crafting to evryone for 2010
