Dead Impressed!

Hello there,

Happy Saturday! I hope you've had a wonderful week.

So, I have to say I am a little impressed with myself....our theme for this week's challenge over at Sweet Stampin is transport....and without even thinking I've managed to create myself a masculine transport themed card. Now I know for some of you wonderful crafters that's probably quite a normal thing....but for me....Queen of the girly cards...to not automatically reach for the pink and purple papers is quite an achievement! Hee, hee!

So, what does my transport themed card look like I hear you ask....well here you go....

Sweet Stampin DT card - Theme - Transport

I've gone with a brown colour pallet for this card, with a hint of green and red. My mini is coloured with my Promarkers and I have added a little faux stitching. This mini actually looks quite like my own first car, which was an old beat up brown mini!

For more transport inspiration, pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at Team Abi's fab DT cards this week! While you're there you can also read about our fab sponsor this week.....

PS - not sure if you fancy some fat-free calories....pop by my afternoon tea blog to drool over some scrummy afternoon tea photos (we enjoyed a chocoholics tea last weekend!). You can drool all you like and not put any weight on! 

Keeping it simple!

Good Morning Peeps!

I'm back again with my second DT post of the day! This time with a new challenge from My Time to Craft....by the way have you seen that we currently have a DT call on the blog? If you'd like to join a fun loving bunch of crafters pop by the blog to find out more!

On with the challenge....this week we'd like you to keep it simple. In fact we'd like to see your Clean and Simple (CAS) cards which feature only one layer or less!

It was Joe's Dad's Birthday last week, he is a complete car nut and so I decided to get crafting with one of my car stamps....

 

I have stamped that fab image straight onto my card blank. I opted for Kraft Card as I felt that went well with my vintage mini. I love this stamp, the detail is just brilliant. I decided to keep it simple, adding only my stamped sentiment and a little faux stitching just to frame the card. 

 

I'm pleased to report that Joe's Dad was very pleased with the card!

Something for the boys!

Hello there! Its hump day - woo hoo!

I hope you're enjoying your week so far...I can't believe that May is nearly over already! What is happening to this year??

Anyway, last weekend I had an action packed time - on Saturday I went to the Burlesque Afternoon tea with Lorna, it was officially my last Birthday treat of this year! We had a fabulous time...the tea was yummy and the entertainment was good fun! Lorna and I both dressed for the occasion....Lorna in full on 1920s flapper style and me in my 1950s dress and petticoat. Here is a dodgy photo that someone took of us

 

Doesn't Lorna look fab?

 

So a very girlie day on Saturday....followed by a more manly day on Sunday as Joe and I took part in a charity car rally. It started with a procession in Petersfield that made us feel like celebrities...this was the view from inside Joe's car....

 

 

All those people lining the streets were fantastic...taking photos and waving at all the participants! It was such good fun. We then drove off in convoy, travelling to several different check points...to be honest the traffic jams were quite cool....

 

 

Finally we ended up in Farnham, our final destination. The sun shone all day and the cars all looked fantastic!

 

So, I do have a card for you today...and it fits in with my car day....

 

 

I've gone with a blue and brown colour theme for my masculine car, along with a fab Mini stamped image. I have coloured my image with my Promarkers and have added my sentiment and some faux stitching.

 

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

 

Make it Monday

Cupcake Craft Challenge - boys

Crafty Sentiments - show us your stitching

Simon Says Stamp - anything goes
