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!

Back to School

Hello there peeps...hope you're all well and having a lovely weekend!

Can anyone else believe its nearly the end of August already?? Where has the summer gone?? So, its nearly time for the children to go back to school and for my Brownies to start meeting again! Although its nice to have six weeks away from Brownies, its  always lovely to see them again in September and hear what they've been up to over the summer.

Sooo....inspired by this time of year here is today's card....

 

I love this cute Sweet & Sassy digi image!

 

I've gone for a clean and simple look for this card, using different white papers and cards to create the layout. The image is coloured with my Promarkers and I've added a couple of pearls in the corner.

 

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

 

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - White on white

Always Crafting - kids

Simon Says Stamp - back to school

Its summer time!

Post number two for today! Please scroll down to see my Celebrate the Occasion DT post.

Sooo....isn't this weather lovely?? The sky is blue in Aldershot today and the sun is shining! Woo hoo! I really hope this lasts as I'm on annual leave next week and staying put in this country!

Anyway, all this lovely sunshine has inspired a couple of cards today....

I've used plain blue backing paper, along with some fab stripy paper that reminds me of deck chairs to make this page. My image is created from two Pollycraft characters which I have coloured with my Promarkers. The sentiment was created on my computer.

This card reminds me of me and Joe.....we love surfing. I'd like to say the characters look like us, but I think that would be pushing it a bit!!

This card has been created for the following challenges:

Cupcake Craft Challenge - The Ocean

The Pink Elephant - summer

Oldie but a Goodie - photo inspiration (that photo really screamed summer holiday to me and this is my perfect summer holiday!). My old thing is the deck chair-like paper!

Tuesday Throwdown - Tropical paradise

My second card also has a lovely summery vibe to it....

Isn't that strawberry backing paper cute?? I've backed this paper with some plain blue paper, which I have also used around my image and my sentiment. The image is another Pollycraft cutie and I've coloured her with my Promarkers.

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

Make it Monday

Passion got Promarkers - feeling fruity

Crafty Sentiments - food

Love to Create - spots & dots (my strawberrys are dotty!)

Well I hope my cards have left you with that summer feeling! Pop by the challenge blogs mentioned to see all the gorgeous DT cards that have been created.

Finally, I'd like to introduce you to Penny the Pineapple plant! Hee, hee....I've wanted a pineapple plant for ages and mum found this lovely one! She's now sat below my living room window sunning herself!
