If the shoe fits...

Morning folks! Looks like another sunny day ahead of me today - lovely!

While I'm munching on my mini hot cross buns I thought I'd share with you a card that I made last night. Its a purple girlie card, using another new stamp from my Kanban sets and that fab polka dot paper that I love!

This stamp is rather large and so there wasn't that much room for papers behind it, but I'm pleased with this card and just love the sentiment. I've created this for the girlie challange over at Simon Says Stamp this week (you can make either a mother's day card or a girlie card). Check out their blog to see all the gorgeous DT cards.

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

Bunny Card

Happy Wednesday folks! I hope you're all well today.

It's been a lovely sunny day here in Surrey....spring appears to be just around the corner! Inspired by the lovely sunshine I've created a cute little Easter card

Isn't that backing paper pretty?? The lovely layout is inspired by Arlana's fab sketch this week over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. The DT were given lovely bunny rabbit images to use on their cards this week, and so there is the added challenge of having a bunny rabbit on our cards. This cute little fellow is a free stamp I got with a magazine a couple of years ago. Pop by and see all the gorgeous DT cards!

Right, its that time on a Wednesday evening and Brownies is calling me...I'd better put my Guider top on!!

Thanks for stopping by today, its lovely to read all your encouraging comments.

Minature Madness!

Hello...me again...yes I have too much time on my hands this evening!

Anyway, I've spend the last hour creating some fab little cards, each one measures just 4inches by 4inches and they look so cute!! I bought another set of stamps at the show on Sunday which feature cute little birdies with balloons which you can add words to! So, I've been blisssfully stamping, colouring and sticking and here are my miniature creations!

I've used all kinds of backing papers for these cute cards, along with little punched flowers and sparkly gems. I think they're perfect for saying "hello" to someone!

My favourite card is one that I made using some embossed polka dot backing paper and the "Howdy doody" stamp...and I have found two embossing challenges that this little card is perfect for. Firstly Paper Sundaes has an embossing challenge and so does Paper Play...you can use either wet or dry embossing for both challenges...pop by the blogs and see all the fab DT cards.

Right, thats it from me tonight...I promise! Thanks for popping by!

Black and Red!

Hello Campers! Hope you're well today!

I've been playing with those new stamps of mine this evening and I've come up with the following card....it's not quite how I wanted it to look, but I had fun creating it!

I love these Kanban stamps, I think they're so cool! I've been practising my colouring with my Promarkers again...it's a bit dodgy today, but practice makes perfect! The checked backing paper is something I've stamped myself...hence the wonkiness! Then I created the black and gold polka dot paper using clear ink and cosmic shimmer...you should see the state of my fingers now!! The bunting is also a stamp that I got free with a magazine...I've cut the bunting out and attached it using 3D sticky pads.

This card is for the "It's a mum thing or just be girlie" challenge over at Papertake Weekly and the "it's your choice" challenge over at Paper Cutz Challenge.

Right...I'm off to practice my colouring some more! Thanks for popping by today.

Bingo!

Hello there...hope you're all well today!

I've had a lovely long weekend...I really enjoyed seeing Hairspray at the theatre last Thursday...I was singing and dancing in my seat! I spent yesterday at the Stitch and Craft Show at Olympia with my mum and Becca...we had a brilliant time looking around all the stands. I even saw Dawn Bibby...not that mum or Becca knew who she was! I got a fab new stamp set from Kanban that I wanted to use straight away.....

Isn't this stamp cute?! There is also a lady cooking and a lady having tea! Cupcake Craft Challege have a monochromatic challenge this week....and I decided pink was the way to go with this image! I also bought some Promarkers at the exhibition yesterday, and so this was the first image I coloured...the black ink has bled a little so think I need to use a different ink for stamping...but I'm pleased with the colouring...onwards and upwards!

I've also been inspired by The Shabby Tearoom Challenge this week where they are having a game of bingo! We can pick three elements for our card from their grid, as long as they appear in a row. I've gone with buttons, flowers and glitter....the glitter may not be obvious, but I've used it on my flowers and on the dress in the image.

Finally, I've been baking again...though I suppose thats not a surprise to you! I've taken the cake bites a stap further and created cake pops this week.....the lolly pop sticks aren't as chic as I would have liked, but its a start! These are vanilla and coffee flavoured cake pops, I either added icing swirls or dots, a little pink glitter or a handmade flower.

Thank you for popping by my blog today!
