Time for a Fairy Tale

Hello there....me again! Back with my second post for today!

As this post goes lives I will be at the Foodie Festival and hopfully signing up to lots of workshops....I'm particularly interested in the champagne tasting! Hee, hee!

Soooo....I'm here with our challenge from My Time to Craft...are you sitting comfortably...then I'll begin! This week we'd like to see your projects based around fairy tales...it can be any fairy tale you like!

I went for an Alice in Wonderland theme....creating a cute invitation to a tea party!

 

I've made my stacked teacups from pink paper, and added some patterned tape for decoration.  I then added some definition to the cups with some slightly darker pink pens. My sentiment was created on my computer and backed with more pink paper.

 

Pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog to see which fairy tales inspired the fab DT this week!

 

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

Papertake Weekly - anything goes

Sketch Time!

Hello Peeps!

I hope you are well and have been enjoying some sunshine over the last week. I really am a summer person and so I'm soooo pleased to see the sun shining - and so is my garden!

Today I am off to the Foodie Festival on Clapham Common with my best friend Becca (my last Birthday treat!), we're looking forward to the workshops and all the sampling! Then we're being joined by my sister Lorna and we are off to celebrate Becca's Birthday! In fact I'm about to share Becca's Birthday card with you...so I really hope she doesn't read this blog post between it going live at 8am and me giving her the card when I see her today!

This week we have a lovely sketch for you at Sweet Stampin....

 

 

and this is how I used the sketch....

 

 

I think this image is great and its perfect for Becca. I have coloured it with my Promarkers and I have added some green sparkle with my Stickles. Now you might ask why I gave my lady a moss coloured feather boa...well originally it was pink and then I remembered who I was making the card for and decided Becca would never have a pink feather boa! So I added a green layer on top of my pink.....and came up with moss green!! Whoops!

 

Head over to the Sweet Stampin challenge blog to see how the other Team Abi ladies used this sketch - their cards are all gorgeous! While you're there you can find out about the fab prizes that our sponsors are providing.....

Now if I'm going to a foodie festival today, I thought it was only fair that I left you with a sweet treat...

 

 

This is my fab new trio, which I love - its so pretty - and a rather nice piece of lemon and raisin cake. Susan - I hope this keeps you going until I'm back from the foodie festival!!

It's Summer Time!

Morning All!

Quick! Before this sunshine vanishes again lets celebrate the summertime!

I love relaxing in the sunshine, and I think there is something rather wonderful about lounging on an old fashioned deck chair...especially if you happen to be sat by the seaside! With this in mind I have created a little summer scene....

I've gone for a CAS finish, stamping my images onto the card. For my summer scene I have used some traditional deck chairs and a little seagull. I have stamped my sentiment and finished the card with some doodling.

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

Calling all bookworms!

Hello there! Happy Saturday!

I hope you are well and have had a fab week!

I'm here with a new challenge from My Time to Craft...and this one is perfect for all you bookworms out there. We'd like to see you create a bookmark!

I love books....real books made out of paper...not these electronic things that are so popular at the moment. Yes, I know that makes me sound very old fashioned, but I just don't think you can beat a book!

Anyway, thats enough from me....here is my bookmark....

 

I love this cute stamp from Simon Says Stamp, it always makes me smile!

 

I've coloured my image with my Promarkers, and made the base of my bookmark from brown and blue card (fab colour combo!). Finally I added some ribbon.

 

Pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog to see all the gorgeous bookmarks that the fab DT have made!

 

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

 

Make it Monday

Love to Create - read all about it!

Passion for Promarkers - add ribbon, lace or twine

Simon Says Stamp - anything goes

 

There are fab DT cards on all of these challenge blogs!

 

Finally I thought I'd leave you with a sweet treat that I made for my mum when I visited her this week.....

 

 

Yummy!
