What a brilliant weekend!

Happy Monday folks!

Thanks for popping by, its lovely to see you! And all the lovely sunshine!

Sooooo....I've had a fab weekend....the sun shone all weekend...Becca loved her Birthday surprise....it was sooo much fun! We took Becca to the Ballgowns exhibition at the Victoria & Albert museum....a room full of gorgeous dresses, what more could a girl want?! Oh! I know! A Sex in the City Themed afternoon tea...complete with mini burgers and chocolate shoes!! The photos don't really do it justice....all the food looked and tasted amazing!

Right, tonight I decided to catch up on my challenges....so be warned there are a couple of cards to follow!! First off I have a very girlie card for you....

I've used plain pink and brown papers, along with some fab pink and brown polka dot paper. I've topped this with a trio of cupcakes and a setiment fit for a Queen! Finally I've added some faux stiches and little white dots and lots of glitter!!

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

Allsorts - Birthday - Happy 3rd Birthday Cupcake!

Cupcake Craft Challenge - Royalty (hope my sentiment fits the bill!)

Truly Scrumptious - pretty in pink

Hooked on Crafts - all that glitters

My second card is inspired by a photo at Pink Elephant this week....



....isn't it a cutie?? I love polka dots and teacups, so this is right up my street! Here is what I created....

I've used plain blue, red gingham and light blue spotty (although you can't really see the dots!!) paper to create this card....along with a fab image from Digi Doodle coloured with my Promarkers. I was soooo lucky last week....I was picked as the winner of the work related challenge at Digi Doodle - thank you ladies!!

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

Pink Elephant - photo inspiration

Digi Doodle - lets go spotty

Make it Monday - Linky Party

Finally I have a rather more simple card for you....

Told you it was simple!! This is also my least favourite card!

In the Garden

Hello peeps...hope you've had a fab Tuesday!

I'm back again with another creation...this time with a garden theme, using one of my favourite new stamps....

I've used a basic blue background and topped that with two different design papers and a lovely piece of bright yellow ribbon. I have topped my bright and cheerful background with the green house image that I have coloured with my Promarkers. Finally I finished off the top right hand corner with some faux stitching.

Now I bet you're thinking...why has Wedgie used all this bright paper....these aren't patterns you'd normally find in the garden! Well, this is because I have been inspired by the fab photo challenge at Passion for Promarkers this week....take a peep at this photo....now when I saw this fab collection of ribbons I instantly thought of a rainbow - hence the bright, cheerful stripey paper! I also love nothing better than a garden full of bright flowers...so this paper seemed perfect.

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

Passion for Promarkers - photo inspiration - I went for a rainbow look and added a ribbon!

Papertake Weekly Challenge - in the garden

Crafty Ribbons - flowers - I have some in my green house and some on my blue backing paper

Hooked on Crafts - flowers

With all this talk of flowers I thought I'd also show you my latest addition to my flat....this is Larry the lemon plant! He already has several lemons growing and currently smells amazing with all the blossom!

Thanks for popping by today,
