This time its a chick!

Hello there!

Soooo...its Wednesday night...I've been to work...I've been to Brownies...I'm at mum's and I suddenly got the urge to make a card! What's a girl to do when she's away from her craft desk, but wants to make a card?? Luckily I have my laptop with me and so have a selection of digi images to choose from....so the image was no problem...but what about the rest of my crafty items??

Well....mum actually has a lovely supply of items in her "Brownie" cupboard....so I decided to raid it! I found some card blanks and some pretty papers.....so I decided to whip up a quick card....

 

Please ignore the wonky cutting...the one thing I haven't got here is a paper guillotine!! Whoops! Apart from the wonky cutting and slightly dodgy colouring thanks to the blunt colouring pencils I found in the "Brownie" cupboard, I am quite pleased with this little cutie!

 

After a weekend full of Easter bunny cards made with the same stamp I decided to treat myself to some Easter digi images from DigiStamp Boutique....I bought this little chick and a similar square with a bunny! The image has been coloured with the previously mentioned colouring pencils!

 

I've even attempted a little bit of decoupage on the wing and the flower. There were no 3D sticky pads to be found here...but there was some sellotape which I have folded in half several times. It kinda has the desired effect!!

 

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

The Pink Elephant - Easter

Papertake Weekly - Easter treats

Simon Says Stamp - Easter/Spring

DigiStamp Boutique - monthly competition

 

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

 

Thanks for popping by today,

I hope to see you again soon!

Mono Madness!

Afternoon everyone - what a lovely sunny day its been - its a shame I've been stuck in the office all day...still the bills have to be paid! I'm on annual leave next week - woo hoo! So I hope the sunshine sticks around for a while! Its my Birthday next Friday and I have rather self-indulgently decided to take the whole week off! Ha., ha! I'm going to Gun Wharfs Keys for a spot of shopping with Sheree and I'll be spending a couple of days in London with my boyfriend....if I can part him from his beloved cars that is!! The rest of the time will be spent crafting...utter bliss!

Today's challenge comes from the Cute Card Thursday blog....yes I actually managed to enter my card on a Thursday...it must be a first!! The theme this week is mono madness, so they want cards that feature shades of just one colour.....now you may think that mine will be pink....but no...I've opted for a lovely sunny yellow!

The DT have created some lovely designs, for some inspiration take a peek here!

Maybe its the lovely sunshine, who knows, but today I decided that yellow would make a lovely Birthday card! I've used a cute little chick stamp from the Hugs and Honey range, which I stamped onto yellow paper and cut out (if you look closely you can see my minor mishap - I nearly cut her leg right off!!). Once cut out I decided to add some googly eyes!

I then raided my paper stash for yellow papers and came up with these, which I think look cute together!

I have to admit my stamping wasn't very good today and I got fed up of stamping the same image over and over again....so I cheated! I took my best image and then coloured in the black with a pen! Hee, hee!

My other fab news is that both Lorna and me passed our leadership qualification last night! We had our books signed and the paper work is being sent off....we can now officially run our own Brownie packs / Guide units if we wanted too! Now thats a scary thought!

Well I hope you have enjoyed some sunshine today and have a lovely evening!

Thanks for stopping by,
