Wonderful Day....

Hello there....Happy Friday! I hope you are keeping well!

Soooo....as you might know if you've popped by recently work has been so hectic and I've been feeling a bit poorly. So I decided to take today as an annual leave day.....and I have had such a fab day!

I've spent time (and money) in my favourite crafts shops, baked some really yummy cakes, made some cute chocolates, finally framed some pictures that I've had for ages, I watched a movie and made some cards! What an awesome and productive day so far!

Here are my latest cakes.....

 

These are adapted from a recipe that I found in this month's edition of Essentials magazine. They are a salted caramel cake with vanilla icing and a gorgeous caramel sauce. I am so pleased wiht how these how turned out!

 

These are my new pictures that are now framed, but need to be hung....

 

 

We found these when we were in Bournemouth in April!! I loved them as soon as I saw them and they'll look fab in my living room.

 

Soooo....on to my card for today....be warned....its a pink one.....

 

 

I've gone with a shabby chic feel for this card. I bought some recycled card blanks earlier today....I think they're going to make some fab Christmas cards! But I also thought they'd look quite good with some shabby chic on them!

 

The layout for this card comes from the fab sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday...I've used my mug image instead of the last square...hope thats ok ladies!

 

 

 

I've gone with soft pinks and white and that gorgeous beige paper...its soooo pretty! I've punched the corners of my plain pink paper to give them a softer look, then I've torn the pink and white paper for a distressed feel. I've also used some pretty lace, a die cut butterfly and my gorgeous stamped cup image. The image has been coloured with my Promarkers - ivory and cinnamon.

 

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

 

Passion for Promarkers - shabby in pink

Simon Says Stamp - punches and/or dies

Sweet Sketch Wednesday - fab sketch

Sir Stampalot - punch away (my corners used a punch)

Top Tip Tuesday - things with wings (my little butterfly)

 

Pop by all these fab blogs to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created for inspiration!

 

Finally I thought I'd leave you with this little photo....there was one cake that was a lot bigger than the rest.....and I couldn't resist...I just had to make a special cake just for me!! It really was yummy!

 

 

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