Nothing like a cuppa!

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

Sooooo....we have a fab challenge for you this week at My Time to Craft....its one of those themes that I always love to see on a challenge blog. This week's theme is "food and drink"...you can create anything as long as there is some food or drink in the image.

Now usually I'd go with a cupcake image...you all know me, thats an obviously choice! But this time I decided to do something a little bit different....

 

Ok, probably not too different from the type of cards you'd expect to see on my blog.....but at least there are no cupcakes to be seen (although she is probably holding a cupcake in the hand we can't see!!).

 

I've coloured my cute image using my Promarkers....and then I got really girlie with my backing papers and embellishments! I'm really pleased with how this card has turned out, it really reminds me of springtime with the soft colours and cute flowers everywhere.

 

Pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog to see what food and drink features on the gorgeous cards that the DT have created this week!

All my favourite things!

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

I've been lucky enough to have a long weekend, and I have to say its been fab! Its been full of all my favourite things....friends, food, crafting....and the odd glass of bubbles!! Wonderful! Becca and Lorna visted on Friday for a girlie sleepover (I haven't laughed that much in ages!!), Lorna had arrived at luchtime on the Friday and I greeted her with a homemade mini afternoon tea...yummy!! Yesterday afternoon was spent watching a cheesy rom-com and making myself a cute cushion. Last night Joe and I saw Aron and Alex...we drank, watched rubbish TV and even fought zombies!! Today I've been making cards....I'm currently up to my eye balls in pretty paper - bliss!!

There are also lots of my favourite things featuring in my favourite challenges this week!! Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge has a fab food and drink challenge, which I made this card for:

There is an awesome needles and pins challenge at Allsorts - as I've proved this weekend, I love a bit of sewing which inspired me to make this card....

Finally, there is a music and dance challenge over at Cute Card Thursday - you can beat a good boogie!!

Don't forget to pop by all the blogs to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created this week!

A nice cup of tea!

Yuck...what's with this drizzerly rain?? It's the worse type of rain isn't it?! You seem to get very wet, but there isn't much to show for it...I suppose I should be grateful that we're now not all flooding again!!

I got some fab news today, my physio has said I can try driving again! I haven't driven in mid-November when my stupid knee decided to blow up like a big balloon! I'm so excited! I know I have to take it easy, but hey its a step towards getting my independence back! Woo hoo!

Thought I'd celebrate by sharing a new card with you....

......this pretty card combines several of my favourite things in life...pretty colours, flowers, afternoon tea, pretty bone china cups, cute sentiments, photography and of course yummy cupcakes!

It also fits in nicely with Cupcake Craft's Challenge this week, the theme is food and drink! What a brilliant theme to have!! The DT have created some gorgeous cards to fit the theme, take a peek at them here.

I've used a beautiful blue and pink backing paper to start with on this card. I found the quote on the internet and thought that it is just brilliant for any tea lover out there. The picture is actually a photo taken by me at an afternoon tea held by my sister....if you've stopped by my blog before you might remember our obession with proper afternoon teas!! The bone china all belongs to my sister (a gorgeous set) and I made that wonderful looking cupcake......and yes it tasted just as good as it looks there! For a little more girliness I decided to back the photo and quote with some bright pink paper, and I left the cutting a little uneven to give it a shabby chic feel.

As you can probably tell I love this card and I'm very pleased with how it turned out! I came across a lot of other tea quotes and so I think I might do some more tea themed cards!!

Thanks for stopping by!
