All or Nothing....

Hello there,

Happy Saturday....I hope you've had a lovely week.....I didn't think mine was ever going to end!

This week we have a fab new challenge for you at Sweet Stampin....it's an "all or nothing" challenge so we either want to see your creations with no layers at all....or lots of layers!

The card I am sharing with you was created for Joe for Valentines.....

Not your average Valentines card I know!

Joe and I have a gorgeous pair of cats called Steve and Tinker, and some how I've managed to convince Joe that it's his job to deal with all the messy things in life....cat poo included! He thought this card was very funny when I presented it to him during our romatic Valentines meal and was impressed that I actually drew poo on a card!

I kept it nice and simple for this card and stamped my cat images and the paw prints directly onto the card blank. I coloured them with my Promarkers (trying and failing to make them look like Steve and Tinker) and then added the handwritten sentiment (and poo) onto the card in pen.

Now if I'm honest I wasn't sure how my lovely Sweet Stampin teamies would feel about having poo on the blog....so just in case I also made a lots of layers card.....

As well as the card blank, I have used a layer of black, a layer of patterned paper and a layer of white card before adding my stamped coffee mug. I have added a stamped sentiment and some faux white stitching to finish the card.

For more "all or nothing" inspiration pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at the gorgeous DT cards that have been created.

Thanks for popping by today,

Cats and Dogs!

Hello there,

Me again! This time I am back with a fab new challenge from My Time to Craft!

This week we'd love to see your projects featuring cats, dogs or maybe a combination of both! If you've popped by my blog before you may well recognise my image.....

I love this stamp...I think those cats are so cute, I always imagine them singing altogether!

My card has been coloured with my Promarkers, and I've gone with a green and brown colour combo.

For more cats and dogs inspiration pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog and see the fab DT cards have been created this week.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Make it Monday

I have two little cats myself....they will be a year old in April and we have owned them since last summer. If you haven't met them before, this is Steve (the grey one) and Tinker....

To be honest they are much bigger now (I'm such a sucker for kitten photos!), but they are still just as cute!

Late night inspiration....

Hello there!

A quick late night post from me tonight! I've had a lovely time this evening zipping around blog-land, catching up on all the gorgeous cards that people have been making recently. I wasn't going to make a card tonight, but after spending so much time looking at gorgeous cards I was inspired!!

So, here is my card....

 

Please excuse the slightly odd shape of the card....and the bad lighting...this is what happens when you get too excited and do things in a rush!!!

 

I love this cute little image, which some of you might recognise from older posts. I just think those little kitties are soooo cute! I always wonder what they might be singing and how bad they sound!!

 

I've used fresh spring time colours for this card, coupled with that gorgeous piece of Kraft paper (my new addiction at the moment!!). I've coloured my image with my Promarkers, and added a sentiment and some punched flowers.

 

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

 

Cupcake Craft Challenge - raining cats and dogs

The Pink Elephant - spring colours

 

Pop by both these blogs to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created this week.

Christmas is just around the corner!

Hello there! Hope you've had a good Tuesday!

Soooo....can you believe that it'll be December on Saturday? Where has this year gone?? Christmas is getting close now and I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet...everyone else who I've spoken to recently seems to be all ready for the big day!!

Anyway, I have a festive card for you today....

 

Hee, hee! I love this image and I can just imagine them singing christmas songs!!

 

I've gone with a traditional red, green and white colour combo for this card, using festive patterned papers along with a pretty doily. My image has been stamped and then coloured with my Promarkers. I'm really pleased with how this one has turned out!

 

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

 

Tuesday Throwdown - lots of layers

Crafty Sentiments - red, white and green

I Heart Promarkers - singing/dancing

 

Pop by all these blogs to see the fab cards that the design teams have created!

 

Finally I thought I'd share some of my Christmas baking with you....these are rather yummy butter biscuit christmas trees! I've iced them with green icing and added some sparkle too!

 

Thanks for popping by today, hopefully I'll see you again soon!
