Something old and something new....

Hello there,

Happy Saturday! I hope you're well and have had a lovely week! I am actually writing this post on Thursday evening and the sun is coming streaming in through the window....it's so lovely! I hope the sun is still shining when you are reading this post!

So, we're back with a fab new challenge for you over at Sweet Stampin....this week our theme is something old and something new. I love challenges like these as you get to have a good rummage through your crafty stash!!

For my project I managed to find an image that I stamped and coloured rather a long time ago...perfect for my something old....

As the image was already coloured in pink and blue using my Promarkers, I decided to carry this theme with my papers. I found the lovely pink gingham strip in my box of papers and also the wonderful cherry DP. The sentiment had also already been stamped....I do wonder which project these were originally meant for!

So, there are lots of "old" things on the card.....but what about the "new" I hear you cry! Well, if you look at the top right hand corner you will see three lovely, shiny pink gems....they are brand new!

For more inspiration for this challenge take a peek at the gorgeous DT cards on the Sweet Stampin challenge blog...while you are there you can also read all about our lovely sponsor this week....

Did you know that Lorna and I have started our own challenge on YouTube? Take a peek for afternoon tea gossip and general rambling....there is a new post every Saturday morning!

It's a Love Thing....

Hello there.....me again!

I'm back again with a new challenge from My Time to Craft...and this week we're getting ready for Valentine's Day. Love it or hate it....the heart filled day is just around the corner and we'd like to see your creations celebrating lurve!

I've used one of my favourite digi images for this card....

Isn't it a cutie? My image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have added a little sparkle with my Stickles. I love polka dots...I'm not sure why...but they always seem to make a card look even more cute.

Bunnies everywhere!

Hello there...

Me again! This is my second post today....if you want to see my Sweet Stampin DT post please scroll down.

If you pop by the Sweet Stampin post after looking at this card you might notice something a bit similar! Yes, its that cute bunny rabbit again!

Our theme at My Time to Craft this week is "Bunnies"....and if you saw my earlier post that I don't have many easter themed images and so when I saw this challenge theme I decided to use the bunny stamp again...

 

This time I've gone with a pretty pink and blue colour theme, with that gorgeous flowery backing paper. I've coloured my image with my Promarkers, opting for a soft grey colour this time. Then I decided I wanted to add something to make it a bit "eastery"....so I made two easter eggs out of paper and decorated them with some pink ribbon.

Something a bit circular

Hello Folks - Happy Saturday!

Hope you're well and have had a lovely week. The weathers been a bit weird again in Aldershot.....lots of wind, rain and some sunshine all rolled into one!

Well....another Saturday brings us another challenge over at Sweet Stampin. We've still got Joanna Sheen as our monthly sponsor this month and this week we are joined by Dis Digis as our weekly sponsor!

This week's challenge is anything but square.....we want to see your shaped projects this week....any shape you like as long as its not square! I decided to be a bit brave and do a circular card...I'm not a huge fan of making circular cards as they always end up wonky, but I decided to give it a go. I was also lucky enough to pick an image from Di's Digis....and I picked a real cutie.....

Told you my circles are wonky!! Still, I think it adds to the charm to this cute card! I've coloured my fab image with my Promarkers and used some pink and blue backing papers and a little paper lace border. I've highlighted the fur collar on the coat using some stickles.The sentiment was created on my computer and backed with some pink card.  I have to say I'm really pleased with how this card turned out....I do love girlie cards!

Pop by the Sweet Stampin blog to see all the other DT cards.....they're all really cute!

Thanks for popping by today and I hope you have a fab Saturday!
