Baking Queen!

Hello there - Happy Saturday! Hope you're having a lovely weekend.

I have a card for you today which is inspired by my other favourite hobby....baking! People who stop by my blog regularly will know that I love nothing better (other than card making) than spending some time in the kitchen whipping up a batch of cakes or biscuits.

I've made this card for two challenges...firstly the colours were inspired by this week's challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge where the theme is "hot chocolate". I like the mix of browns and creams, and the little bit of pink is for the marshmallows that I like on the top of my hot chocolate!

Secondly, the theme over at Allsorts this week is recycle....so I decided to use the ribbon that was tied around my envelopes when I bought them recently. I like recycle ribbon a lot as its always so expensive to buy new, so my friends and family know to save any ribbon they come by and give it to me! I've also been known to cut the hanging ribbons from inside my tops and skirts!

I'm off now....Joe's just come home from the garage and I'm hungry! Thanks for stopping by today.

Gorgeous Buttons!

Hi there! Hope you're well! Look what I found waiting for me at home after work today.....

....lots of gorgeous pink buttons! Can you see the cute little alligator button? How cool! This lovely selection came from Pixie Rose, a lovely site full of goodies!

I got all my timings wrong this morning, I left Joe's in Aldershot far too early and ended up at my desk at 7:35am! I set off early to miss all the traffic on the A3....but there wasn't any this morning!! Its been a very long day! After work I came home and had time to create the card that I'm going to show you, then off to Brownies and then Guides. I'm now looking forward to going to bed!



Anyway, enough moaning and feeling sorry for myself...here is my card for today:

I based this card on a lovely sketch from Arlana at Sweet Sketch Wednesday, it was lovely to use...pop over to the blog to see how the wonderful SSW DT used it on their gorgeous cards too.

I've used another Penny Black image from the micey days stamps, they're all so cute! The colour scheme of purple, brown and cream was provided by the Penny Black Saturday Challenge blog. This is another new blog I've discovered, which gives a weekly challenge. Anyone can enter as long as they follow the challenge and use at least one Penny Black image. Pop over and take a look at the cute cards the DT have created this week.

Right, I'd better get going before I fall asleep on my laptop!

Thanks for stopping by today and thank you for all the lovely comments that people have been leaving me, they are so nice to read.
