A sweet post...

Woo hoo! Its Friday evening!

I am rather excited as I am going to see Stomp at the Ambassadors Theatre in London tomorrow afternoon. I've seen them perfom on TV, but never live and I can't wait! I'm glad this snow is staring to clear....I've been so cold I thought I was turning into a snowman!!

Anyway, I decided to brighten everyone's day with a sweet post. I got inspiration for today's card from The Pink Elephant who have a fab chocolate covered strawberries photo as inspiration for this week's challenge.

With this in mind I went for one of my favourite colour combos....a little bit of red and brown.....

 

I've stamped my image and coloured it with my Promarkers. I created my background by using a selection of red and brown papers, adding some faux white stitching and a cute mini bow.

 

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

 

Top Tip Tuesday - layers

Passion for Promarkers - favourite colour combo

Papertake Weekly - tie up your loose ends (use a bow!)

The Pink Elephant - photo inspiration

I Love Promarkers - anything goes

Now this wouldn't be a sweet post without some cakes would it?? My lovely mum bought me some new baking equiptment last night when I visited....I am now the proud owner of the cutest little loose bottomed cake tins and a cake decorating turn table! I'm so easily pleased! I decided the best way to thank mum was with some freshly made cakes...and I was feeling a little nostalgic so I went with butterfly cakes (mum used to make us these when we were little!). These little beauties are mocha flavoured cake with coffee icing and chocolate sprinkles on the top!

 

 Thanks for popping by today and thank you for all the lovely comments that people leave me...especially about my baking...I wish I could send you all a cake or two!

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.
