Cutie-pie!

Morning Crafters!

Hope you're all well and ready for a new Sweet Stampin challenge! This week the lovely Dora has picked the theme for us...we'd like to see your baby cards.

We're lucky enough to be sponsored by Bugaboo Digi Stamps this week....check out their cute shop for all kinds of digi images. The DT have been given some fab baby images to play with and I liked mine so much that I made two cards...one for a little boy and one for a little girl!

Don't forget to pop by all the Team Abi blogs to see all the other brilliant DT cards this week!

Well, I'd better get my skates on...I've got a fab day ahead of me....I'm off to London with my friend Sheree for a spot of mooching around the shops and some afternoon tea! Did you know that it's National Afternoon Tea week?? It'd be rude not to celebrate!!

Thanks for popping by today,

No card, just cake!

Evening All,

Hope you're all keeping well. I haven't posted in a week now....not sure whats happened to time, but I can't keep up! So, I thought I'd post something....but I haven't been crafting....instead I've been baking! This is a Meister Tyre birthday cake that I made for my friend this week.

I can't tell you how pleased I was with this cake....its the best I've made so far. I was also rather pleased when someone at the Birthday party asked me if I'd helped pick the cake!

Have you popped by the Sweet Stampin blog this week? We've got a fab theme this week....on the farm! Pop by and see all the gorgeous DT cards for inspiration.

Right, I'd better get going....I'm off to see Brad Paisely in concert tomorrow night at the O2....he's a country star and my sister loves him!! I'll be back later this week, hopefully with some cards!!

Thanks for popping by,

A little bit of glam!

Evening All,

I hope you're all having a good week. I've had a bit of a lazy evening tonight....no gym for me...no I just cooked dinner for me and Joe and did a little crafting! After this post I'm off to bed...I fancy an early night!

This week's challenge over at a Passion for Promarkers is “divas with glam & glitter”.....what a fab theme! You know me...I can't resist a little bit of glitter! Here is my lovely lady, all glamed up for a shopping trip!

I've used a selection of girlie purple and pink backing papers, along with my stamped image which I have coloured with my Promarkers. I then added a little bit of glitter to the dress and necklace with my Stickles and I added three little pink gems for some added glam!

Pop over to the Passion for Promarkers blog to see some really gorgeous DT cards!

Right, I'm off to bed now!

Sew Mad!

My goodness I've had a busy evening! After work I popped by mum's and stayed for a cup of tea and a natter...I then headed off to the gym for a mini workout and finally home for dinner and a quick card making session! Hopefully I'll sleep well tonight!!

If its Monday it must be a new fab challenge from the lovely Cupcake ladies....this week the challenge is "sew mad"...they want to see projects which feature some sewing...it can be real or faux...as long as there are some stitches on your card! For some inspiration pop by the Cupcake Craft Challenge blog to see all the gorgeous DT cards.

I know you saw this stamp only yesterday, but I really, really like it!

I've used a square card blank and added layers of purple backing papers which I have stamped a pretty edge on. Each layer is stuck down with 3D sticky pads near the edge to add a brilliant dimension to the card. I then added my teacup image which has been coloured with Promarkers and my sentiment. Finally I attached a little light purple backing paper at the top of the card and added some cute faux stitching. The inspiration for the layering of the backing papers came from Quick Cards magazine and I think it looks fantastic.

Colour Challenges!

Happy Sunday Everyone!

I hope you're all well and having a lovely weekend. I've had a fab day today, Joe's been at work and so I decided to spend some time in the kitchen. Several hours later I have lemon cupcakes, dotty butter biscuits, homemade crisps (made in the microwave) and pimms ice lollies! What a fab afternoon!

As well as baking, I've also spent some time at my craft desk.....something that always helps me relax! Today I've created two cards for two different colour challenges. I love colour challenges because they push me out of my comfort zone....you know me I love pink and purple....I can't get enough...but colour challenges make me look at other colours that I often neglect.

First off we have the "Black and White" challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge:

I've kept this card very simple, using some new cute stamps that I got free with a craft magazine, a little dotty paper and a little black paper.

And secondly I have a card for the "Red card" challenge over at Allsorts this week:

The cupcake tier is another free stamp from the craft magazine, this time I've added one of my favourite sentiment stamps, along with red paper, the cute dotty paper and some red stickles for a little sparkle. Pop over to both blogs to see the gorgeous DT cards.

Right, I told you at the beginning of the post about my kitchen exploits today...well here are my goodies!



I can't believe how easy the crisps were to make...they took a little while to do and they're still crisping up at the moment...but the couple that I've sampled are delicious!
