Champagne Supernova

Hi Peeps
Sorry I've not been around lately, it's been a struggle these last few days, but I'm back with me crafting and with another birthday card for Ryan. Just had to ink up this cute Forever Friends bear, he's sooo handy for mens cards and engagements and all sorts of cards!
I think I can manage to squeeze this into a couple of challenges too, which are:
SketchSaturday Fab sketch
EverybodyArtChallenge 'Song Title' (mine's 'Champagne Supernova' by Oasis)
ForeverFriends 'Numbers'
Thank you for looking, take care.

Laurel & Hardy Birthday

Hi Peeps
Gosh I can't believe it's Wednesday already!! Where is the week going? I'm behind with challenge cards too, but at least I've got abit of crafting done and finished another birthday card for my brother Ryan who's a fan of Laurel & Hardy (in case you didn't guess!), I've kept it quite simple cos you can't go too heavy with embellishments for man cards can you? But I did manage to get some glitter glue on there! I used Stickles 'Black Diamond', which I just love, on their hats.
Right, cup of tea, bit of chocolate and some blog hopping!:)
Thanks for looking everyone and take care.

Anyway, hope everyone is well today, better go and make the most of this sunshine, back at work tomorrow!

Anyway onto my card, I love this image, reminds me of being a kid and summer went on forever and always blue skies (sigh), which comes in for one of the challenges which is 'childhood memories'.

Baby Asleep

Hi Folks
I'm still here! Haven't done any crafting for a couple of days so need to get stuck in again! I've been spring cleaning which isn't anywhere near as much fun. And look it's not a card! One of the challenges is to alter a CD, so I thought I'd have a go at something different and I'm quite pleased with it! Hopefully you can just see 'Baby Asleep' on there in white glittered sticker letters, I was going to do it with silver letters, but didn't have enough 'A's. Typical!
My challenges are:
PennyBlackSaturday 'Buttons Galore'
CreativeInspirations 'Altered CD'
Right, better get the tea on folks, back abit later.
Thanks for looking.

Birthday Girl

Hi Folks
Gosh I haven't done a Tilda card for ages and ages! So thought I ought to really! Do excuse the slightly wonky photo, will have to get one of those mini tripod thingies. Really enjoyed the sketch for this one, I don't know why but I sometimes struggle with sketches? But, it was the third Tilda I was finally pleased with, struggled with my colouring! I think it's best not to try too hard sometimes!! Anyway, I hope everyone is well and I will pop round to do abit of blog hopping after my tea, pizza tonight with extra pineapple, gotta have pineapple on me pizza!

Oh I just love these Sweet Pea Stamps! I bought about 8 the other day!

This card is going in the following challenges:
