Love is in the air!

Hello there! Hope you had a lovely weekend!

Well, its been a very wet day in Surrey again today...at least its not snowing! I've got a little card that I'd like to share with you....you can tell its nearly that time of year when there are red hearts everywhere! When I got home from work today I found an exciting looking envelope waiting for me....it was the stamps that I won from a recent Cute Card Thursday challenge! So I decided to use them straight away! Thank you The Stamp Shoppe - I love them!

I've used the latest sketch from Sunday Sketch & Stamp for the layout and the pink colour scheme was inspired by the pretty in pink challenge over at Whoopsi Daisy. The theme this week at Secret Crafter Saturday challenge is "with love" and the theme over at Paper Play is "cutie patootie" - both of which I think fits in with this card perfectly!

I've also managed to fit a little baking in...yes again! I think I've found a new passion in the kitchen...I LOVE making and decorating biscuits! Here are the ones I've made today.....these are butter biscuits, covered in milk chocolate and then decorated with little chocolate stars and some pink edible glitter! I can also confirm that they are indeed yummy as well as pretty!

Right - I can't believe its after 10:30pm already....time is flying by at the moment! I'm off to bed in a bit so I'll say goodnight! Thanks for popping by today.

Friday Challenge

Morning!

Before I head off to work I thought I'd share a quick card with you...this one is inspired by the "no designer paper" theme at Whoopsi Daisy and the monochrome challenge over at Cute Card Thursday.

I decided to go with shades of blue for my colour combo, using plain coloured paper to frame the stamped image and my sentiment.

I love this stamp and have already used it loads, in the set I've got this small tree and a much larger one. I stamp it in plain black in and then add stickles glitter glue for a little sparkle.

Instead of designer backing paper I decided to create my own background using two flower stamps and some blue ink.

Right, I'd better get my skates on...work is calling!



Thanks for popping by today, hope to see you again soon.

If you're ha-pea and you know it!

Hello there...look I'm posting before 10pm! Woo hoo!

I've had a lovely afternoon crafting while watching the movie Grease on the TV. Joe has come home from the garage early, so we can have a nice evening together too!

The challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge this week was a little challenging for me to say the least! The theme is white is white and they want to see projects that are predominantly white....as you all know I love colour...lots of colour! However, I gave it a go and here is my card....

I like the idea of using peas on my cards....just think of the possibilities!

I've used a piece of green card and a piece of white card for the backing and then made a little pea out of more green card. I've added googly eyes and a hand written sentiment. I'd also like to enter this card for the free & easy challenge over at Whoopsi Daisy and the something new challenge over at Paper Sundaes. My something new is the fab black new I used to outline the letters - it's a Japanese pen that I actually bought for Joe but that seems to have made it into the craft kit!! Whoops!

Right, I'm off...I've got dinner to make!

Thanks for stopping by today.
