Spoon Full of Sugar!

This is my entry for the "spoon full of sugar" challenge blog. This week the challenge was to include a number on your card. This was brilliant timing as I needed to make a 5oth card for my godmother this week!!!!

I used my new PB "garden friends" clear stamp set (so many lovely stamps in this set!). Coloured Bunny with promarkers,mounted on to Anna Griffin paper,embellished with butterfly confetti & organza ribbon.

I must be on a role this week as I have already managed 3 posts this week,that's unheard of lol!!!

Sketch Saturday Challenge

This is my entry for the sketch Saturday challenge. I used a free stamp for the love birds & water coloured with h2o's for a nice shimmer. K & co backing paper and Prima flowers add interest.

Swirls border has been layered on to organza ribbon. The card didn't scan to well but looks nice in reality.

Hope you have all enjoyed your weekend.

Spring in the air!!!!

The above card is my entry for The "CCT" challenge,this week the theme was citrus colours. I love bright colours so this was a dream for me and lent itself very nicely to an Easter card. Stamped image by Funstamps & was coloured with Promarkers. Cuttlebug embossed card with stickers,brads, Prima flower to embellish.

This card I made for my Dad's birthday next week, I used paper from old packaging as I loved the colours & pattern. Penny Black stamped images are used frequently in my men's cards. The greeting was Die-cut. I am looking forward to catching up with your blogs at the weekend.

Happy Crafting

Fab times!!!!!

Good morning everyone,what a gorgeous sunny start to the week!!! I have had a fab Birthday & Mothers day this weekend, and was very spoilt!!!

I just had time to do a card for the "sketch Saturday challenge", this weeks sketch is lovely.

I used handmade papers cut with my nesties,I have been meaning to use more handmade papers on my cards as I have loads I never use. I am really pleased with the result,they add texture & dimension. I am sure you will be seeing them a lot more now!!!!

I got given a stack of "rubber stamper" magazines from a friend of Mum's this week. I am really enjoying them and they are inspiring me to try lots of different techniques & styles.

Looking forward to blog hopping & catching up with your work tonight.

CCT Sketch !!!!

This is my entry for this weeks CCT challenge, I really enjoyed using this sketch and will definitely be using this one again. I used some free stickers I got from a magazine for the image & greeting. Tag was then mounted on to Anna Griffin papers, buttons & flower to embellish. I also received my new personalised stamp today,it looks quite professional when stamped on the reverse of the cards & envelopes.

Hope you have a great week,I have hopefully got a bit more time for crafting this week as I am off work. Aim to do a bit of blog hopping tomorrow!!!!!

PBSC Card

This is my entry for this weeks PB challenge which has a love theme. I made this little Valentine card for my son to give his best friend Beth.

Kitty coloured with Promarkers and mounted using Nesties. Prima flower,sticky ribbon and button to embellish. I couldn't resist adding a bit of sparkle to the flower with my glitter glue !!

I still have not had a chance to use my new "spring burst" papers & embellishments, or the Coredinations card stock. I am looking forward to Friday night when hopefully I can make a start on some Easter/Mothers day Cards etc..

Hope you are all having a nice week

Sketch Saturday

Hello all, I hope you had a good weekend. I had a lovely day out with the girls on Saturday which obviously involved shopping & lunch!!! Then Sunday we had a nice winters walk at Virginia Waters. The card above is my entry for this weeks Sketch challenge. I am not sure about the card thou, its unusual for me not to have a stamped centerpiece. My mum brought me these nice 3D heart stickers from Anita's so I made the card for her to give to Dad. I love the simple but really effective layout of this weeks sketch.

I made this card using one of the lovely images from another Blogger. Stamped tag was a freebie from a magazine, Embellished with Prima flower & brads.

I hope to have a catch up with every ones blogs and awards I have kindly received etc... I just have a mega busy week ahead, so I will apologise in advance if I don't have time to collect awards & update blog etc....

Have a fab week
