Cute and Cuddly and not very tradtional!

Hello there!

Happy Wednesday.....it's lovely to see you!

Soooo...I am here today with a rather late post. This is my June post for Christmas at Sweet Stampin...which should have gone live at the beginning of the month! Silly me...some how I managed to forget completly...what a naughty DT member!!!

Anyway...I am here at last...I have joined the ladies with the mid month inspiration post! So, our theme is cute and cuddly...with a twist...as we'd like to see non-traditional colours on your Christmas cards this month!

 

I love this sentiment! Wish it was true though!

 

I've gone with a blue and brown colour combo - colouring my cheeky monkey with my Promarkers. A little glitter on the image and some faux stitching finishes the card. 

 

Pop by the Christmas at Sweet Stampin challenge blog to see how the rest of the lovely DT have used the theme this month. You can also read about our fab sponsor this month.....

Cute and Cuddly

Hello there! Happy Saturday!

I hope you are well today and have had a fab week!

Well, cute and cuddly is the theme for our challenge at Sweet Stampin this week, but its also a current theme in my home at the moment. Last weekend Joe and I decided to get two lodgers for the house....I'm not too sure about our choice though...they are not very good at paying the rent.....

 

Hee, hee!

 

These little fluff balls are called Tinker (black and white) and Steve (the grey one)....can you guess which one was named by Joe??

 

Sooo....what does my cute and cuddly card look like? Well, I was lucky enough to be given a fab Stamp Fairy image....

 

 

Soooo cute!! I've gone for a bright and cheerful colour scheme, and I have coloured my image with my Promarkers. I've added some punched flowers with a little sparkle and a cute thank you sentiment.

Hellooeeee!

Good Morning!

I hope you're well and had a lovely weekend. I'm sorry to say that the drifting that I went to see on Saturday was a little bit of a wash out.....Joe's car broke before he even got a practice go on the track! So, he didn't get to qualify this round...it was very disappointing considering the amount of time and money he has spent so far.....lets hope round two is much better! It was a bad day all around really as our friend who was also competing also ended up with a broken car!!

Joe's drift car has had a bit of a makeover this season....here it is in all its glory.....

 

I'm not sure about the colour personally, but he loves it!

 

Soo....you might be wondering what I'm doing here on a Monday morning posting on my blog...shouldn't I be at work?? Well, no...I'm pleased to say that I'm on annual leave this week! Woo hoo! And tomorrow is my Birthday! Woo hoo! So today I am going to a day spa with Becca.....we can't wait...a day relaxing and being pampered!

 

But first I thought I'd do a little crafting!!

 

 

Isn't he a cutie??

 

For this card I have used the fab sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and a cute bear image which has been coloured with my Promarkers. Here is the sketch that I used.....

Feeling a little sorry for myself...

...sniff, sniff...hello there...Happy Friday!

Well I am really pleased that its Friday....another long week over! I've got the start of a cold and I'm feeling a bit pants! I'm going to make myself feel a bit better by curling up on the sofa tonight with Joe and watching a movie...I've bought some gorgeous soft socks that make me smile (yes I am getting old...soft socks make me smile!!) and I think a big mug of hot chocolate is in order...and maybe some chocolate!!

Before all that I have a card that I'd like to share with you.....

 

Sniff! Sniff! I've picked warm colours for this card and used a combination of plain red paper and gorgeous patterned papers. My Pollycraft image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have added sparkle to the stars with my Stickles. I've created and decorated three paper flowers.

 

The fab layout is from this week's sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday....
