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

Feeling a bit girlie....

Hello there...Happy Tuesday!

I hope you are well today! Look at me with yet another post....Joe has been spending a lot of time in the garage recently (drift season is about to start and he has cars to get ready)...this means I can spend more time crafting!

I made this card last night while I was in a real girlie mood (I had one of my friends over for dinner and we had a good old gossip)! I was inspired by the fab photo which is The Pink Elephant's challenge theme this week.....

 

What a pretty bed! I just want to climb in there right now! I also love this cute colour combo, yellow and grey goes together so well and makes for a very pretty card!

 

Anyway, the combination of my girlie mood and this gorgeous photo led me to make this card....

 

 

This is a new stamp that I bought a little while ago and I haven't used yet. Some of you might recognise the pattern though as its made by Kanban...who also make those gorgeous cake/cup stamps that I love so much!

 

I've coloured my image with my Promarkers, and added a little sparkle with my Stickles to the top of the bath and to the towel (it hasn't come out very well on the photo, but its there I promise!). I then used a combination of plain grey and yellow papers and that gorgeous patterned paper. I have added some faux stitching...I kinda wish that was in white now!

 

I've left the sentiment quite vague as I thought it could make a lovely Birthday card or a Mother's Day card...or for anyone in your life who needs some R&R!

 

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

 

The Pink Elephant - photo inspiration

Cupcake Craft Challenges - sparkle

The Corrosive Challenge Blog - all that glitters

Cards, bookmarks, baking and a podcast!

Hello there....I hope you are keeping warm in this chilly weather!

Have you had any snow? There was a little in Farnham on Monday morning, but thats long since gone!

Sooo....I haven't been around much lately...it turns out that the new house is taking up loads of my time! I have also been spending a ridiculous amount of time in the kitchen...but more about that later!!

I wanted to share with you a fab podcast that I've discovered recently. I've just got into podcasts thanks to my sister...she'd always said I should give them a go, so I decided to search iTunes looking for something that took my fancy. Tha'ts where I stumbled across Joy The Baker...which is made up of Joy and Tracy...two very funny and very friendly ladies from America. There is a new podcast each week and they basically talk about anything and everything, but they are soooo funny that I always end up laughing out loud (I have to be careful where I listen)! They also both have their own blogs featuring their fab recipes and gorgeous photos. If you get the chance and fancy a giggle you should check them out...you can download the podcasts from iTunes or from the HomeFries website!

Soooo....what have I made today I hear you ask....well I was asked by a friend to make a Birthday card for someone who loves baking. I decided to give the stamps a rest and do some paper crafting for this card...in fact I got so carried away and decided to make a matching bookmark too!!

 

I love a pink and brown colour combo, its sooooo pretty! I've created my mini aprons from a selection of papers and some pretty pink ribbon. The sentiments have been created on my computer.

 

I'd like to enter these creations in the following challenges:

 

Make it Monday

Cupcake Craft Challenge - anything but a card

 

Pop by both these blogs to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created!

 

Soooo...that's the crafting...what about the baking??

 

Well, I have been a busy bee recently....I have made my own bread rolls....

 

 

I have discovered that I LOVE baking bread....something about the kneading is very theraputic...plus you get yummy bread at the end!!

 

I have also made my own baked beans.....

 

 

Admittedly this took much longer than going to the cupboard and opening a can, but it was worth the wait...these beans are seriously tasty!!

 

Plus there have been some sweet treats....

 

 

Yes it's a melt in the middle pot of gooey chocolate! Yummy!

 

 

And of course there had to be some cupcakes somewhere!! These are yummy lemon and vanilla....hmmmm!

Cupcakes, cupcakes everywhere!!

Hello there! Fancy seeing you here!

I hope you are well today!

Well its been another really busy week...I'm lucky enough to have Christmas card orders coming out of my ears this year...my designs have proved really popular!! Plus I've got my large consultant event that I am organising...its finally taking place this Friday at the Savoy in London. Its been so much hard work and I now have 75 people attending the event...fingers crossed it goes well!!

Despite all this I've still managed to make some time for some crafting....well all work and no play makes me a very grumpy girl!!

 

I'm not entirely sure that I'm happy with this card....I think its a bad photo and I rushed the card a little!

 

My clean and simple card features just three colours....black, white and pink!A very elegant colour combo I think! I've used an oldie, but a goodie sentiment...this one always makes me smile! My cupcakes are stamped and coloured with my Promarkers and I've added a lot of sparkle to my icing with some fab glitter glue. Its the shame that the bling hasn't shown up very well!! Finally I added some faux black stitching to one side of the card.

 

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

 

Cupcake Craft Challenge - black, white and one other

Allsorts - bling

Thanks....

Hello There....Happy Friday!

Yes, yes...I know I'm technically away for the weekend...but there is always time for a quick card isn't there??

So I've got a cute thank you card for you today.....I love this sentiment....

 

I also love pink and blue as a colour combo....I think they go so well together, especially when in these soft shades.

 

Soooo....isn't that a cute Bugaboo image?? When I saw it I knew I had to add it to my ever growing collection of images!! I've coloured the image with my Promarkers and attached it to the card using 3D sticky pads. The sentiment was created on my computer and also attached to the card with 3D sticky pads. The layout for this card comes from the fab sketch over at Cupcake Craft Challenges....I've just flipped it on its side to fit my image in!!

 

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

 

Cupcake Craft Challenge - sketch

Tuesday Throwdown - Thankful

Oldie but a Goodie - NOT Christmas! My old item is the polka dot paper...I love it and its been in my collection for as long as I can remember..I'm slowly using it up in strips!!

Soooo....I promised a card....so here it is....I've made a lot of spooky cards this month and today I decided I needed to go a little girlie.....so what do you think....

 

 

I love these fab colours together, I think they look really pretty. I've used plain and patterned papers for my background, following this week's fab sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. The cupcake image and the small flower image I have paper pieced (I love this technique!) on more pretty papers. I think this stamp works really well with paper piecing.

 

Finally I have added some white faux stitching to the border and lots of glittery Stickles to my images!

Hee, hee! It's been great fun....here is my home flavoured drinks....

It takes two!

Hello...Happy Monday!

Hope you've had a good day. So I learnt a good lesson this evening....I shouldn't be left alone in a kitchen full of baking goodies...yes I made more cakes!! Very naughty cakes!! I currently have some chocca mocha caramel cakes waiting to be iced! Yes, you read that right...chocca mocha caramel!! As well as being a normal naughty cake, there is also bits of chopped up chocolate bars in the cakes!! Whoops!! Pop back tomorrow for photos of the finished cakes...and my verdict on yumminess!!

Sooooo...its Monday...that means one thing...its a new challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge! Woo hoo! This week's challenge is "two's company" and for this challenge I created this spooky pair.....

 

Aren't they cute??

 

I've used plain black paper to back my card and to frame my Digistamp Boutique images and sentiment. I have added some fab spiderweb paper and a strip of patterned paper to the background, before attaching my images and sentiment. The image is coloured with my Promarkers....I've tried to match the colours in the patterned paper to tie everything together.

Hello There!

Happy Monday! Hope you've had a good day.

Mine has been long...again! I've still got a bit of a pathetic cold...bit sniffly..really annoying cough, but at least its not too bad! Thank you for all your well wishes...I really was feeling sorry for myself on Friday!!

So, its just gone 7pm and its really, really dark already!! What I love about this time of year though is the fab comfort food we all eat on these dark evenings!! After a long day in the office I decided to make one of my favourite chicken dishes for dinner ....chicken breast, chopped up chorizo, tomatos, pepper, onion, whatever beans I have in the cupboard and big glug of wine. Cook it in a hot oven for about 30 minutes. Its so simple to make and really, really tasty...especially when served with warm crusty bread! Yummy!

Anyway, cookery lesson over! I also have a card for you this evening!!

 

So for this card I have combined my cute little witch digi image from Digistamp Boutique with a fab pumpkin freebie image from Melonheadz. They are both too cute and so I decided that I wanted to use both of them! My images are coloured with my Promarkers and I have added some sparkle to the witches hat and the pumpkins with my Stickles.

 

I've gone with warm oranges and browns for this autumn inspired card. Combining two patterned papers, along with some plain orange and plain brown paper. I have also added a strip of punched border.

 

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

 

Allsorts - autumn trees and leaves (no trees or leaves on my card, but I have gone with the colours...I hope thats ok!)

Crazy 4 Challenges - Halloween

Cupcake Craft Challenge - Autumn/Winter

Flowers, flowers everywhere!

Hello There.....Happy Wednesday!

I hope you're well and having a lovely week so far!

Don't you love flowers? I do! There are so many different ones, all so pretty in their own way. I To be honest I'm a big plant fan too....many of you know that I'm growing my own mini tomatos in my kitchen, along with some peppers. I also have a pineapple plant and a lemon plant! I love growing things!

Anyway, inspired by pretty flowers here is my card for today.....

 

Isn't she pretty....and more importantly wouldn't you love a big bunch of flowers like those?? They are also sooo pretty! I've used floral papers, along with a dollie and some plain blue paper to create the background. My image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have added some sparkle with some mini gems. I have added some more mini gems, and some beautiful paper flowers.

 

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

 

Cupcake Craft Challenge - flowers

The Paper Shelter - anything goes

Top Tip Tuesday - Birthday Gift (those pretty flowers!)

 

I also thought I'd share my latest bake with you.....

 

 

Hmmmm....yummy! The ones in the blue paper cases are peanut butter cupcakes and the ones in the pink paper cases are vanilla cupcakes. Both are topped with vanilla butter cream and a sprinkle of black sugar. I really wanted to add some homemade caramel to the peanut butter ones, but I burnt my caramel!!

 

I'd like to enter these sweet treats in the "bake sale" challenge over at City Crafter Challenge this week. They'd like to see creations featuring baked goods....or anything baking related. Hopfully these fit the bill!

Oh my goodness!!

Hello there, hope you're keeping well!

Sorry I haven't been around much this week! Thank you for all your lovely comments.

I have been plagued by IT problems recently...both at work and at home! Today I went to work to find that all my word and excel documents had vanished!!! I've been in my job for 7 years now and so you can imagine my panic at the thought of all that work gone!! That got fixed and then I came home to my continuing lack of internet problems! After 20 mins on the phone to Virgin Media, 15 mins on the phone to Dell and a lovely 30 min chat to an engineer in India and my internet is finally working again! Apparently it was a McFee problem....a bad update or something!! What a wonderful IT day!

Anyway, enough of my moaning...I have managed to fit in a teeny bit of crafting today....

 

I told you it was a teeny bit of crafting! This simple card is made of black baking paper, some pretty black and white patterned paper and a gorgeous stamped image. I've also added a little faux stitching to the image.

 

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

Happy 4th Birthday Cupcake!

Hello there...another Monday already??

However today is a special Monday as today the fab challenge blog Cupcake Craft Challenge are celebrating their fourth Birthday! As you know I am a keen participant in the Cupcake challenges and so I was very excited when the lovely Faye asked me if I fancied helping the Cupcake Ladies celebrate their Birthday!

To celebrate their blog Birthday the fab Cupcake ladies are taking a well deserved break and have asked various Guest Cupcakes to create cards instead! How cool!! We were all given the cutest image as inspiration.....

Aren't those cake pops cute?? Fab colours too!

Well.....I thought I'd do something a little bit different this time and add some real cakes that I've made to this Birthday card....

Ok, not quite as neat as the cake pops in the first image, but these are cake pops that I have made myself.....they were very tasty too!! I've taken the fab pink colour as inspiration from the image too, and the polks dots.

Pop by the Cupcake Craft Challenge blog to see how all the other Guest Cupcakes have used the image!

Happy Birthday Cupcake!

I can't wait to see your cards!

Happy Monday!

Hello folks - hope you're well today.

This morning I went for a little run (I've started training again since my knee seems to have settled at long last!!)....and boy was it an epic run! First off I managed to conquer a hill that normally finshes me off before I've begun....I was dead chuffed with myself! Then about 15 minutes later I managed to have a spectacular fall....and landed on my bum right in front of a poor lady (how she didn't tread on me was anyone's guess!!). It was a real slow motion fall....I must have looked really funny!! Oh well!

Anway, here is today's card....and I'm quite pleased with this one....

Isn't he a cheeky chappie? He looks so pleased to be out fishing!!

I've raied my paper stash for lots of different green coloured papers...both plain and patterened....for this card. The image is stamped and coloured with my Promarkers (so are the little fishes!). I created the sentiment tag on my computer. Finally I added some little faux stitches with a brown pen.

Its summer time!

Post number two for today! Please scroll down to see my Celebrate the Occasion DT post.

Sooo....isn't this weather lovely?? The sky is blue in Aldershot today and the sun is shining! Woo hoo! I really hope this lasts as I'm on annual leave next week and staying put in this country!

Anyway, all this lovely sunshine has inspired a couple of cards today....

I've used plain blue backing paper, along with some fab stripy paper that reminds me of deck chairs to make this page. My image is created from two Pollycraft characters which I have coloured with my Promarkers. The sentiment was created on my computer.

This card reminds me of me and Joe.....we love surfing. I'd like to say the characters look like us, but I think that would be pushing it a bit!!

This card has been created for the following challenges:

Cupcake Craft Challenge - The Ocean

The Pink Elephant - summer

Oldie but a Goodie - photo inspiration (that photo really screamed summer holiday to me and this is my perfect summer holiday!). My old thing is the deck chair-like paper!

Tuesday Throwdown - Tropical paradise

My second card also has a lovely summery vibe to it....

Isn't that strawberry backing paper cute?? I've backed this paper with some plain blue paper, which I have also used around my image and my sentiment. The image is another Pollycraft cutie and I've coloured her with my Promarkers.

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

Make it Monday

Passion got Promarkers - feeling fruity

Crafty Sentiments - food

Love to Create - spots & dots (my strawberrys are dotty!)

Well I hope my cards have left you with that summer feeling! Pop by the challenge blogs mentioned to see all the gorgeous DT cards that have been created.

A wheely good start to the week!

Hello Crafters! Hope you're all well today.

Well, I honestly can't believe its Monday evening already....where did my day go?? I'm actually quite pleased because my Blooming Tea Party for Marie Curie is taking place this Saturday and I can't wait!

We've got lots of guests, a marquee (the rain won't stop us!!), a vintage theme complete with vintage hair stylist, a fab raffle with lots of prizes and of course lots of cakes!! Here are some little sugar paste roses that made last night for one batch of cakes.



Soooo...its Monday...that means its time for a fab new challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge and this week it's Le Tour de France...we can create anything as long as its something to do with the theme...I went with bikes....

I love this sentiment...its perfect for my Brother in Law Jim.....he's a cycle nut ! Although I'm not sure he'd approve of this bike with that cute basket!! He's just riden the London to Paris ride as a team captain for the second year. Mad man!! I also used the colours of the french flag - red, white and blue.

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

A little too much??

Hello peeps! Happy Monday!

Well, what a very wet day it is here in Aldershot! Wet and grey and generally miserable!! So what better way to cheer myself up before dinner than a quick bit of crafting!

Now I have a couple of issues here...first off the colours aren't so vibrant in the photo! Sorry!! Bad photography alert!! My second issue is that I'm not too sure whether there is too much going on here! I love these new papers...them are from a retro inspired pack and they are just gorgeous! But does it look a bit too busy...especially with the tea cup and buttons?? What do you think??

The sentiment I think is perfect....I've found it on a really fab website called Birds Cards, along with the cute tea cup!

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

Cupcake Craft Challenge - bright as a button - use bright colours and buttons

Something in the Eyelet!

Hello Folks, hope you've had a good day!

I can't believe its my third week as a Guest Cupcake at Cupcake Craft Challenge already....I'm a bit sad that this month is flying by soooo quickly! I'm really enjoying my time with the lovely Cupcake Ladies!

This week they have given me quite a tough challenge as its something I have never used before. This week the Cupcake Ladies would like to see eyelets on our projects.

Now I'm not entirely sure about the eyelets...but I love this card! This Pollycraft image is just sooo cute and I love this sentiment! I decided to use my favourite colour purple as my main focus, along with some funky green and a little brown. As well as the silver eyelets I have also used a silver pen to add little dots to my borders.

This is what challenges are all about for me....pushing me out of my comfort zone (which is pink and very girlie) and getting me to try new things!

I'd like to enter this card in the Make it Monday linky party....I love this fab challenge blog, its such a great place for inspiration!

Hello Folks, Happy Monday!

Well, I hope you are enjoying your lovely long weekend and all the Jubliee celebrations.

Another month has begun and I have some very exciting news (well at least for me!), I've been asked by the fab Cupcake Craft ladies to be a Guest Cupcake for June.....I love their challenge blog and think they are all so talented and so I was very chuffed to be asked to join them. Thank you Faye and the Cupcakes!!

Soooo.....my first challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge is "Tagtastic!"....the Cupcake ladies want you to make a tag. I decided I must start my month with Cupcake, so here is my tag.....

I've used brown baking paper, topped with some fab pink and brown polka dot paper! I've cut out my cupcake image, coloured with my Promarkers and added some glossy accents to make the icing really shine. I've also added a little sparkle to the cherry on top!

Inspired by my tag I also decided to make a matching card....

I'm really pleased with how these have turned out, I think they look very cute together.  I'd like to enter the card in the Linky party at Make it Monday this week!

Don't forget to pop by the Cupcake Craft Challenge blog to see all the gorgeous tags that have been created by the DT this week. Plus check out all the gorgeous cards that can be found at Make it Monday - always a great place for inspiration!

Hello my fellow crafters....how are you today?

Hope you've had a better Monday than me....I've worked from home this afternoon and I've been plagued by IT issues....included my work laptop screen going completly blank at one point! That was scary!! I'm pleased to say its all fixed now and so I'm a happy bunny again!!

Soooo...its Monday...its time to join in the fun at Make it Monday. I'm so pleased to have discovered this fab linky party blog....you get to see so many great makes each week! Its also time for a new challenge at Cupcake Craft Challenge and this week they have a book lover challenge. You need to feature a book, or maybe a page from a book or stamped text! What a fab challenge!

So, what do you think? I've used lots of pinks and purple today! Plus that fab stamped text and some buttons with thread tied into bows. I always forget how much I love using buttons on projects....as well as my cards I also customise tops and add them to cushions. I love them!!
