Just a note...

Hello there,

Its me again...I'm still lying by the pool basking in the warm Spanish sunshine (fingers crossed!). Here is another scheduled post from me...this time I'm bringing you the My Time to Craft challenge.

This week we'd like to see your thank you cards. Now I love thank you cards....I send them whenever I can...my poor friends probably have quite a large collection between them now!

I have used one of my new favourite stamps for this card.....

 

Isn't it a cute image?? The stamp is actually just the typewriter and paper....you can then add your own sentiment. I've gone with a vintage feel for my thank you card, using plain brown backing paper and that fab newspaper print paper. My image has been stamped and I have added a thank you sentiment to the paper.

Things with Wings

Hello there!

I hope you are well and having a fab week......this is a scheduled post from me I'm afraid....as I am currently relaxing in Spain with the girlies! I flew out last Sunday afternoon...so hopefully by now I am well rested and relaxed!

I am here today with a new challenge from Sweet Stampin...this week we'd like to see your creations featuring things with wings!

I opted for a butterflies for my card....

 

When I made this card, the weather had just started to change and I was feeling quite gloomy! So I decided to create a really bright card, with splashes of red, blue and yellow! My image has been coloured with my Promarkers, and I have added a little sparkle with my Stickles.

Spooky Wishes....

Hello there - I hope you've had a fab week!

I'm back with a fab challenge from My Time to Craft...this week we are getting ready for Halloween with a spooky challenge!

We want to see your Halloween creations that feature a black cat! You can include anything on your card....as long as there is a black cat too!

 

I love this super cute Digi Stamp Boutique image that I bought last year, she just makes me smile...especially since she has her kitty cat peeking from behind her dress!

 

I have coloured my image with my Promarkers and have added a little faux stitching around the image. I have coloured my cat black and made him a bit cuter by adding some mini googly eyes! I've gone with traditional Halloween colours...a bit of orange, green and purple!

Have a Tea-riffic Day!

Hello there!

Happy Hump Day! I hope you are having a fab week so far!

This week I have had the pleasure of harvesting some of the fruit and veg from my garden. Its the first year I've been able to grow my own things and I've really enjoyed the experience. I have onions, potatoes, tomatoes, plums and apples at the moment. I also have pears still on the tree and I have pumpkins growing for Halloween! Its been a very productive summer!

On Monday night I made myself some scrummy apple cake...which was made even sweeter because the apples came from my own tree! What a satisfying bake!

 

In celebration of harvest time and the autumn season I have created this clean and simple card......

 

 

I've used a kraft card blank, which has been topped by my cup digi images, a little doodling and my fab sentiment. I've gone with autumnal colours for the tea cups, which have been coloured with my Promarkers.

 

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

 

Di's Digi Designs - fabulous fall colours

Cute Card Thursday - Hip to be Square

Love to Create - clean and simple

 

If you get the chance pop by these fab challenge blogs, there are some gorgeous DT cards to be seen!

 

I'm off to have a cup of tea now!

Baby Baby!

Hello there,

Happy Tuesday!

So, I just watched the Great British Bake Off....as you can image I love that programme! This week was biscuits and tray bakes and I now want to create a biscuit tower of my own!

Earlier this evening I spent an hour or so in my craft room....I caught up on some DT cards and made some other cards. I really enjoyed myself....so all in all its been a fab evening!

Anyway, here I have a new baby card for you....

 

Although this card looks quite flat, that's just my bad photography skills! The little baby grow is in fact fixed to the card with mini 3D sticky pads, lifting it away from the polka dot backing paper. I have coloured my image with my Promarkers and added some sparkle with my Stickles.

 

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

 

Allsorts -baby

Glitter Sparkle - add some pink

The Pink Elephant - digi image

Top Tip Tuesday - Get in shape (anything but rectangle)

Papertake Weekly - Make it Sparkle
