Not a card in sight!

Hello there!

A really quick mid-week post from me today....Allsorts have a fab challenge that I couldn't resist joining this week.

Their challenge is "anything but a card"....last time they had this challenge I entered some cupcakes...this time I decided to make something a little bit different.....

 

These little beauties are salted dark chocolate spheres! I made them for Joe's Mum's Birthday as she loves salted chocolate. They are made using a fab mould from Baked By Me - Iris stocks lots of fab moulds! The spheres are hollow and I have added some glitter for a little sparkle!

 

I'm pleased to report that Joe's Mum was really pleased with them!

Thanks for popping by today and I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Cupcakes, cupcakes everywhere!!

Hello there! Fancy seeing you here!

I hope you are well today!

Well its been another really busy week...I'm lucky enough to have Christmas card orders coming out of my ears this year...my designs have proved really popular!! Plus I've got my large consultant event that I am organising...its finally taking place this Friday at the Savoy in London. Its been so much hard work and I now have 75 people attending the event...fingers crossed it goes well!!

Despite all this I've still managed to make some time for some crafting....well all work and no play makes me a very grumpy girl!!

 

I'm not entirely sure that I'm happy with this card....I think its a bad photo and I rushed the card a little!

 

My clean and simple card features just three colours....black, white and pink!A very elegant colour combo I think! I've used an oldie, but a goodie sentiment...this one always makes me smile! My cupcakes are stamped and coloured with my Promarkers and I've added a lot of sparkle to my icing with some fab glitter glue. Its the shame that the bling hasn't shown up very well!! Finally I added some faux black stitching to one side of the card.

 

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

 

Cupcake Craft Challenge - black, white and one other

Allsorts - bling

Make it Monday

Hello There!

Happy Monday! Hope you've had a good day.

Mine has been long...again! I've still got a bit of a pathetic cold...bit sniffly..really annoying cough, but at least its not too bad! Thank you for all your well wishes...I really was feeling sorry for myself on Friday!!

So, its just gone 7pm and its really, really dark already!! What I love about this time of year though is the fab comfort food we all eat on these dark evenings!! After a long day in the office I decided to make one of my favourite chicken dishes for dinner ....chicken breast, chopped up chorizo, tomatos, pepper, onion, whatever beans I have in the cupboard and big glug of wine. Cook it in a hot oven for about 30 minutes. Its so simple to make and really, really tasty...especially when served with warm crusty bread! Yummy!

Anyway, cookery lesson over! I also have a card for you this evening!!

 

So for this card I have combined my cute little witch digi image from Digistamp Boutique with a fab pumpkin freebie image from Melonheadz. They are both too cute and so I decided that I wanted to use both of them! My images are coloured with my Promarkers and I have added some sparkle to the witches hat and the pumpkins with my Stickles.

 

I've gone with warm oranges and browns for this autumn inspired card. Combining two patterned papers, along with some plain orange and plain brown paper. I have also added a strip of punched border.

 

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

 

Allsorts - autumn trees and leaves (no trees or leaves on my card, but I have gone with the colours...I hope thats ok!)

Crazy 4 Challenges - Halloween

Cupcake Craft Challenge - Autumn/Winter

Pink Elephant - Photo inspiration 

 

I've picked out those gorgeous orange colours and the pumpkins

What a brilliant weekend!

Hello campers! I hope you are well and have had a lovely weekend!

My weekend has been every bit as good as I hoped it would be (I was a tad bit worried that I would be let down in all my excitment!!).

On Saturday, Lorna, Becca and myself got dressed up and went to the Berkley for a Pret a Portea. This is what we ate....

 

It looked amazing and tasted just as good! We treated ourselves to a glass of bubbles and enjoyed delicious sandwhiches and tasting spoons before starting on the sweet goodies! The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly and the food kept on coming! We had a wonderful afternoon!

 

 

Then today the three of us visited the Festival of Vintage at Epsom Downs race course....as some of you will know, I have a bit of a soft spot for anything vintage! We wandered around the fab stalls selling everything from clothes and hats to homewares and recordplayers. I bought myself a lovely full length winter coat and a cute knitted jumper, Lorna bought a brilliant evening dress for her Birthday in December and Becca added to her brooch collection....and bought her first item of vinatge clothing!

 

There was also fashions shows, live music and dancing....it was brilliant!

 

 

Here I am posing in my new living room! Hee, hee!

 

Soooo....after all this excitment I decided to make a simple card!

 

 

Told you it was simple!

 

I love this stamp, but its rather large and I rarely use it. However, I thought it would probably work for a clean and simple card where I wanted the image to be the main focus! I've stamped both the image and the sentiment and coloured the image with my Promarkers.

 

 

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

 

Passion for Promarkers - Clean and Simple

Allsorts - inspired by a song - "These Boots are Made for Walking"

Crazy 4 Challenges - thank you card or thanks giving card

Flowers, flowers everywhere!

Hello There.....Happy Wednesday!

I hope you're well and having a lovely week so far!

Don't you love flowers? I do! There are so many different ones, all so pretty in their own way. I To be honest I'm a big plant fan too....many of you know that I'm growing my own mini tomatos in my kitchen, along with some peppers. I also have a pineapple plant and a lemon plant! I love growing things!

Anyway, inspired by pretty flowers here is my card for today.....

 

Isn't she pretty....and more importantly wouldn't you love a big bunch of flowers like those?? They are also sooo pretty! I've used floral papers, along with a dollie and some plain blue paper to create the background. My image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have added some sparkle with some mini gems. I have added some more mini gems, and some beautiful paper flowers.

 

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

 

Cupcake Craft Challenge - flowers

The Paper Shelter - anything goes

Top Tip Tuesday - Birthday Gift (those pretty flowers!)

 

I also thought I'd share my latest bake with you.....

 

 

Hmmmm....yummy! The ones in the blue paper cases are peanut butter cupcakes and the ones in the pink paper cases are vanilla cupcakes. Both are topped with vanilla butter cream and a sprinkle of black sugar. I really wanted to add some homemade caramel to the peanut butter ones, but I burnt my caramel!!

 

I'd like to enter these sweet treats in the "bake sale" challenge over at City Crafter Challenge this week. They'd like to see creations featuring baked goods....or anything baking related. Hopfully these fit the bill!

You can't stop me today!!

Hellooee.....me again!

Ha, ha....there is no stopping me when I get going is there?? I decided to take full advantage of a day with no plans...I've made loads of lovely cards and I have a batch of yummy peanut butter cupcakes with chocolate frosting! Soooo this is my second post for today!

Whilst trawling through blog land I noticed that My Time to Craft have a DT call on at the moment and so I've decided to apply. Pop by their blog to see more details! Their challenge this fortnight is hats or handbags.....so inspired by my baking I created this cutie....

Isn't she sweet?? Hope the My Time to Craft Ladies like her hat!! Thats exactly what I look like in the kitchen too.....batter mix flying through the air!! I like to think I'm a glamour Nigella type....but really I'm not!!

As summer rolls on ha, ha (I'm currently watching a weather forecast with lots of rain predictions!!) I'm trying to convince Joe that he's like to join me on a surfing trip to Newquay. He loves his cars soooo much that he'd much rather spend all his annual leave and spare cash on them rather than a jaunt to the coast. But I've got my fingers crossed!! While I wait for him to make up his mind I'll just have to create some beach scenes instead....

Not exactly what Joe and I look like on the beach....but at least the right person is carrying the board (surf boards are soooo heavy!!).

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

Allsorts - I do like to be beside the seaside

Fashionista - simply summer

Hello my fellow crafters....how are you today?

Hope you've had a better Monday than me....I've worked from home this afternoon and I've been plagued by IT issues....included my work laptop screen going completly blank at one point! That was scary!! I'm pleased to say its all fixed now and so I'm a happy bunny again!!

Soooo...its Monday...its time to join in the fun at Make it Monday. I'm so pleased to have discovered this fab linky party blog....you get to see so many great makes each week! Its also time for a new challenge at Cupcake Craft Challenge and this week they have a book lover challenge. You need to feature a book, or maybe a page from a book or stamped text! What a fab challenge!

So, what do you think? I've used lots of pinks and purple today! Plus that fab stamped text and some buttons with thread tied into bows. I always forget how much I love using buttons on projects....as well as my cards I also customise tops and add them to cushions. I love them!!

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

Keeping it in the family

Hello folks, hope you're having a lovely weekend.

Its so nice to see some sunshine. Today is a sad day for me and my family, as its a whole year since my Dad passed away from cancer. I still can't believe that a year has passed by so quickly and I'd like to thank all my friends and family for their ongoing support - you're all wonderful!

With this in mind I was pleased to see a "card for a man or boy challenge" over at Allsorts this week....this card is for my Dad...

This cheeky little chappie reminds me of my Dad quite a bit....althought the image has a lot more hair than Dad had!! Dad was a complete handy man....complete with lots of tools! There wasn't anything he wouldn't try and fix himself!

I've spent this morning with my mum and my sister and her hubby at Wisley Gardens, a beautiful place that we visited with Dad when he was well. We wandered around the gardens and bought lots of plants between us.

After this I've had some time to myself, so I did what makes me happiest....I baked some cupcakes and made some cards!! Here is my next card...

I'm pleased with how this card turned out, the LOVT image is really cute and these papers are lovely new ones that I got free with a magazine. I've added a punched flower and a little glitter. I'd like to enter this card in the following challenge:

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Card for Mum

DYSU - use a flower

Lili's Little Fairies - your favourite craft tool (my flower punch)

Finally I've made a card for the medals and monarchs challenge over at Sir Stampalot this month....

I haven't got any olympic or jubliee inspired craft items in my stash......so I decided to go with the colours of the Union Jack....red, white and blue.....these are  colours we're going to see a lot of this summer!! I also decided to add a cup of tea.....after all...what can be more British than a cup of tea??

Black and White and not square!

Hello Folks, hope you're having a fab Saturday!

I have a quick card for you today as I am supposed to be getting ready for a night out (yes I realise its very early!!).

So this card is for the Black and White challenge over at Allsorts this week.....I've been a bit naughty adding a little brown to the image and I hope the Allsorts ladies let me off. The image looked a bit odd without the brown though!

I'd also like to enter this in the "shape it up" challenge over at CES Challenge this week, they want to see cards that are any shape except for square. I'm afraid that I've been a little boring here with my rectangle card - sorry!!

Another Monday....

Well.....that was my lovely week over with! I'm back at work and I've nearly forgotten that I've been on holiday at all....apart from my little pot belly that I've gained from all the food and drink I consumed last week!!! Hee, hee!!

Anyway, nothing like a bit of crafting to make you feel a bit better! Sooooo.....I've got a couple of cards for you this evening...first up something a little stripey!

This gorgeous layout is from the sketch at Allsorts this week, isn't it lovely? And the stripes are for this week's stripey challenge over at DYSU.

And here is my second card.....another fab sketch....

This time the sketch is from Pollycraft (as it that gorgeous image that I love!!). I'm also entering this card in the material girl challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge....that shocking pink strip is material and I've layered that with some ribbon too. I'd also like to enter this card in the Make it Monday linky party!

Happy Monday!

Hello there...hope you're having a wonderful Monday!

Today is my Birthday and so far its been a blissful day.....Joe had to go off to college this morning and so I had a nice little lie in and I've been crafting ever since! He'll be home soon and I have no idea what the afternoon holds for me!

Soooo....thank you to everyone who played along with my Birthday candy....the lucky winner, pulled from a hat, is Elaine! Well done hun, please send me an email with your address so I can post off your goodies!

I'm very pleased with my cards this morning.....here is the first one....

I know Easter was a couple of weeks ago, but I love this image and thought it went really well with my cute papers and buttons! I've been practising my Promarker colouring (inspired by the gorgeous Birthday cards that the Sweet Stampin DT sent me - thanks ladies!) and I'm actually really happy with this image. I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Allsorts - buttons and thread

DYSU - bling (I've added stickles to my easter eggs and butterfly)

CES - paper piercing (its around the blue paper)

Make it Monday

Pollycraft - cute critters

Lili's Little Fairies - transport - I hope the pogo stick counts!

I've also made a second card this morning....

Instead of my Promarkers I've used my trusty pencils to colour this cute LOTV image. I've used my glossy accents on the window pane to try and make them look more glass like and I've added some stickles to the water drops. I love this fresh colour combo....not one that I'd usually go for, but I think it looks really pretty. I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Cute Card Thursday - Spring flowers

Cupcake Craft Challenge - in the deep end (add depth)

Papertake Weekly - april showers / water everywhere

Feeling a bit like Willy Wonka!

Hey there folks, how are you today?

Well, I have had a lovely weekend...its the first one in ages where I had nothing planned and although I've had a fun month full of adventures I was really pleased to have a weekend to myself! I've spent loads of time crafting and in the kitchen - no surprise there really!!

This month sees Sir Stampalot's 2nd Birthday and to celebrate they are having a fab blog hop...there are loads of prizes up for grabs, pop by their blog to find out more. Their challenge this month is Happy Birthday...and to celebrate I made this Birthday cake card:

I'm not usually very experiemental when it comes to shaped cards, but this weekend I decided to give something new a go. I'm really pleased by how it turned out and I think the card works really well with this sentiment. As well as Sir Stampalot I would also like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Shaped card

Allsorts - photo inspiration - I've picked the colours pink, yellow and brown and the image of a cake

There is also a new challenge over at CES Challenge where they have a "no girls allowed challenge" this week. We all know I'm not a fan of masculine cards, but since I was already out of my comfort zone with the shaped card I thought I'd give this challenge a go too!!

Do the polka dots make it a bit girlie??

Soooo....are you wondering what I got up to in my kitchen this weekend and why I'm feeling a bit like Willy Wonka?? Well, I've been making my own easter eggs! They are surprisingly easy to make and I'm really pleased with what I've made so far...although I think I might go a bit fancy and make some floral decorations for them.....

I've made some large ones....some medium ones....and some teeny tiny ones (which are filled with popping candy!). Of course I've had to sample some of the same ones, just to make sure the popping candy worked and I can tell you that they are yummy!

Anyway, thanks for popping by today,

A bit of shabby chic

Hello campers, hope you had a fab weekend!

I'm amazed that its already Monday evening again...where does time go?? We took the Brownies to London on Saturday, we hunted for eggs in St James Park which was fun. Then on Sunday I watched Joe and his friends play with remote control cars all day....yes, as well as big noisy cars they all now have small remote control cars too!! At least we had a lovely BBQ and I got to relax in the sunshine!

This evening I've been having fun with a little bit of shabby chic crafting and a card with a little suprise.....soooo here's the card.....

Secret Crafter Saturday Challange have a shabby chic/vintage challenge for us this week, and so I've opted for soft muted colours...along with one of my favourite embellishments....a doillie!

"Whats the surprise?" I hear here you cry....well here you are....

Ohhhh....I've created a little secret pocket on my card that contains a cupcake recipe! Perfect for sending to a friend....to hint that you want some cake! This fits in with the "use a cooking recipe" theme over at Allsorts this week.

I'm pleased to report that I am really happy with how this card has turned out! I'd also like to enter it in the "sound of music" challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge this week! My music inspiration was "If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake" by Eileen Barton.....remember that little ditty?? I bet that one line is stuck in your head now....I think I'll be going to bed singing it! Anyway, send this card to your friend and they'll have no excuse not to have a cake waiting for you when you pop by!

Happiness is.....

....some freshly baked cake!

This evening I was given some cake batter....some Herman cake batter no less. Its a German friendship cake that is passed between friends and family. You get given a little batter and some instructions and over the course of ten days you nuture the cake and then on the last day you divide it up...bake one bit and give the other bits to family and friends so they can have their own Herman cake too! Isn't that fab? Thank you Alex for sharing with me!

Inspired by my Herman cake I decided to create a yummy cupcake card (well I don't really need much encouragement do I??).

Hee, hee! Cute isn't it??

I've used a pretty pastel pink backing paper, topped it with some pink and white lacy paper and a pretty mini doilie. I've added my cute sentiment to some more pink paper and then added my trio of cupcakes!

This sweet card is for the following challenges:

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - doilies are not just for cakes

Allsorts - three in a row

I must also say a big thank you to the lovely Secret Crafter ladies....as I was their lucky winner last week and have won a $10 Digi Doodle gift voucher...how exciting!

Saying it with flowers.....and no images!

Evening Folks!

Well another day has flown by! I was supposed to go for a run when I got home this evening, but somehow I got distracted by my craft desk! Whoops!

I have a couple of cards I'd like to share with you this evening...the first is a Mother's Day card featuring flowers....

I've used a pretty green backing paper, along with some flowery paper. My flowers have been stamped twice and coloured. I've used the first stamp on the bottom for the leaves and I cut the flowers out of the second stamp and attached them with 3D sticky pads to add some depth. I've made this card for the "say it with flowers" challenge over at Allsorts and the "for the girls" challenge over at Papertake Weekly.

Now anyone who has popped by my blog before will know how much I love my sentiments....anything that makes me chuckle is good for my cards! Thats why the "no image, just words" challenge at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge this week is right up my street! And here is my card...

Yep, I know I'm slightly obsessed with this Martha Stewart punch...but its soooo pretty!! So, did I make you giggle?? I'd normally add a pair of knickers to a card featuring this sentiment, but as I can't use an image I decided to focus on making the card pretty....the punched border also kind of reminds me of knicker elastic!!

Domesticated Goddess Alert!

Good evening folks - a little late night post from me! I hope you've had a fab Monday! I have to say I'm feeling very pleased with myself, as this evening Joe and I ate my own homemade frozen oven chips with our dinner! Yep! I made frozen chips and they actually tasted really good! There is something so satisfying about eating things that you've made from scratch!

As well as my zumba class this evening I've also had time to make a little card....

I've created this card for the "spread your wings" challenge at Allsorts this week and the "yellow and red" colour challege at Cupcake Craft Challenge. I thought I was going to struggle with the spread your wings challenge, then I remembered this cute little stamp! I have to say I love this colour combo...its so bright and cheerful...guaranteed to make you smile!

Lots of yummy food!

Hello peeps! Hope you're all having a lovely weekend!

Warning...if you're currently on a diet you might want to skip the next bit!!

My weekend has been fab....yesterday was spent mooching around London with my sister Lorna, we wandered around looking in shops and generally having a good natter....then we stumbled across the most amazing ice-cream boutique (yes thats what they called it!!). Its called The Icecreamists and they serve amazing ice-cream, yummy hot doughnuts and fab coffee....this was my rather naughty lunch (I think its lucky we did lots of walking too)!

Today I have been to the Make It crafting exhibition at Farnborough...I was really looking forward to it, but I have to say I was a little disappointed....at least a third of the stalls were non-crafting related!! I have also done a little baking (more about that later) and made some cards....

This card was inspired by the following challenges:

Sweet Sketch Wednesday - awesome sketch

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - white on white (as little colour as possible)

Cute Card Thursday - winged things

I usually struggle when it comes to non-colour cards....I love my baking papers in all there glorious colours! However, I actually enjoyed making this card. I've used both embossed papers and punched papers to add interest. I have highlighted the cute little chicks to make them stand out a little.

I love this sentiment...it makes me smile!! This card is for the "its your choice" challenge at Allsorts this week.

Now where is this baking I mentioned earlier I hear you say. Well, I decied I wanted to bake some cakes today, but couldn't decide what flavour to make....so I made several! I have made coffee cakes, vanilla cakes, baileys cakes and a new flavour that I haven't tried before....strawberry and blueberry! I made these an iced tea mix...I hope they're tasty!

Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed popping by today...its lovely to see you!

Colour Challenges!

Evening folks - happy Friday!

I hope you've had a good week....mine has flown by and here we are again on a Friday evening with the weekend streching ahead of us....wonderful!

I've spent the last hour blissfully crafting while waiting for Joe to come home from work. We're having a homemade pizza and movie night tonight....I'm really looking forward to it!

Anyway, my first card is for the anything goes challenge at Allsorts this week and the black and white colour combo challenge at a Passion for Promarkers...

Hee, hee....I love this sentiment, it makes me smile! I've used my ivory Promarker to colour my teacup (I hope the Passion for Promarkers ladies lets me have this!!).

My second card is for the fab Fluffy Pink Cupcakes challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge this week.....what a fab challenge!! I'm also entering this card in the "use 3 papers" challenge over at Simon Says Stamp.

So I have three fab pink papers.....one yummy cupcake and a fluffy pink flower! Along with another fab sentiment that I can relate to!

Don't forget to pop by all the blogs to see all the gorgeous DT cards.

I hope you have a fab Friday evening....whatever you're up to! And don't forget to pop back to my blog this weekend....I feel its going to be a baking weekend!
