Cheers!

Hello Folks

Guess what!? I've been chosen as one of the new Design Team members over at the Forever Friends Challenge Blog! Woohoo! Thank you for picking me girls! :)

So thought I'd make a card (not for myself!:) in celebration! You can get this little cutie from here, I've also used an embossing folder from Crafts Too and the fabulous swirls die from Tim Holtz.

I've coloured this gorgeous lil' bear with Promarkers and Prisma Pencils and used Stickles 'Crystal Ice' glitter glue.



Thank you for looking and look out for my first DT card next week :)

Baubles! :D

Hiya Peeps

Wanted to make a card for the Penny Black Saturday challenge, which is 'Recycling' and remembered I'd scavenged these leaves from me Mum's christmas crackers last year! I knew they'd come in for a project! :D

This adorable puddy cat is from Penny Black of course! The paper is from a Papermania collection, the big flower I got from QVC ages ago and are by Colour Connection and I bought the gorgeous lace from me local craft shop.

I've coloured this cutie with Promarkers and Prisma Pencils.

Thank you for looking and all your lovely comments :)

Bears, Chicks & Daffs :D

Hiya Peeps

Back again with an Easter card this time, love this adorable image and the fence was a last minute idea when I'd already stuck everything down! Always the way! :D

You can get these cute lil' bears here, the papers are from Wild Rose Studio, I've punched the ribbon holes with a Martha Stewart border punch, the flower punch is also a Martha Stewart and the dragonfly and fence dies are from Magnolia and the lovely flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I've coloured these gorgeous bears with Promarkers and Prisma Pencils and used Stickles 'Lemon Ice' glitter glue.

Flowers By Airmail!

Hey Peeps

Finally got round to making a card! Yay! Was starting to get serious withdrawal symptoms! :D We've had a new boiler put in this last week, which meant clearing out me craft room and then sorting everything before putting most of it back again! Phew! Glad that's over with!

So, this is a card for me Nan from me Mum! This super sweet teddy is of course from Lili Of The Valley, the fabulous around-the-page punch is from Martha Stewart (just got this the other day and absolutely love it!) and so is the flower punch too. I've used a pretty embossing folder from Cuttlebug, the dragonfly die is from Magnolia and the ribbon and bow are from Papermania.

I've coloured this sweetie pie with Promarkers and Prisma Pencils and used Stickles 'Stardust' glitter glue.

Thank you for staying with me, will have to get to bed now, but promise to catch up with you all in the afternoon, have been looking at all your fabulous work, just not had a chance to comment.

Have a lovely week :)

Is it just me?

Hey Peeps

Is it just me? I've just spent approximately 3 - 4 hours tonight finishing off the inside of my cards!! Lost count but think I did about 20 odd!  I'm just so lazy! Note to self: will always finish a card completely before starting the next! :D  Hmmm.......we'll see how long that lasts!

Hopefully see you all tomorrow with a card, want to do one for the Less Is More challenge!

Take care :)
