It's your Birdday!

Hello there,

Happy Saturday! I hope you're well today.

This week's challenge over at Sweet Stampin has a fab "things with wings" theme - there are so many different things with wings so take your pick and get crafting....just remember to include some stamping on your creation!

Now prepare yourself for my card as I've gone a little crazy with the colour combo.....

I told you it was a bit crazy! But it makes me smile so I am happy!

I've coloured my image with my Promarkers and added a lot of sparkle with my Stickles. I have then created a background using both plain, glitter and patterned papers. Finally I added a little faux stitching as a border to my image.

There is so much going on on the front of the card....so I decided to move the sentiment inside....

For more things with wings inspiration pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take the peek at the gorgeous DT cards that have been created this week. While you're there take a peek at the fab prize on offer this week from our lovely sponsor Crafts and Me.

Frame It!

Hello there!

Happy Saturday! I hope you've had a lovely week.

This week I am back with a new challenge from My Time To Craft - the title of this week's challenge is "Frame It!" and we'd like to see your images framed in some way.

My card was created for a friend who asked me to create a bespoke birthday card for one of her friend's who likes budgies.....

Hee, hee! I found this fab image after scouring the Internet for budgie images....I love the fact that hes a little comical! I have coloured him with my Promarkers using a photo of a real budgie as a guide. I have framed my image with a light blue border, punctuated with that lovely bright blue stripe. I have also added small faux stitches as a border to the image (if you peer really closely you'll see them!).

Buttons and Ribbon

Hello there! Happy Saturday!

I hope you've had a fab week. Mine has been filled with good news!

Firstly one of my lovely friends has got engaged, her partner completly surprised her. Becca is a bit of a twitcher, she loves wild birds and David proposed to her at the RSPB headquarters in Bedfordshire while listening to  "Close to You"...how romantic!

I also recieved some good news of my own....a little while ago I told you that I had entered my little afternoon tea blog into the UK Blog Awards. Well, from the 95 fab blogs in the food and drink cateogry, I got shortlisted! The first phase of the awards was open to the public vote, so I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who voted for me. I am so chuffed! Next is the judged phase, which is followed by the awards ceremony in April. I am so excited!

This week's challenge from My Time to Craft is a lovely embellishment challenge, as we want to see buttons and ribbon on your creations. You need to feature at least three buttons and a gorgeous piece of ribbon.

I made my card for the lovely Becca and David to celebrate their special day.....

I have used a plain grey backing paper and some gorgeous patterened papers that feature birdies and bird houses. I have gone with a grey ribbon, and three old buttons. My cute birdie image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have added some personal details into the heart.

I'm really pleased with how this card turned out, featuring birds and having a slightly vintage feel - all perfect for the happy couple!
