Time for some crafting!

Evening all - this weather is soooo gorgeous isn't it? I hope you all had a lovely weekend - most of mine was spent outside in the sunshine...so tonight I was determined to come home and make at least one card! So here's my summery delight.......

This card fits in with no less than four different challenges! Yes, I'm impressed with myself!! Ha, ha!

Allsorts - Embossing

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Strawberries & Cream

Magical Crafts - Flower power

Cupcakes Craft Challenge - the gorgeous sketch

This was a fun sketch to use, I love how the circle pokes out from all the rectangular shapes. I used strawberry pink and cream colourings to give a summery feel to the card. I've never embossed before, I used a stencil to create the butterful and I really like how it looks - I'll have to start embossing more! Finally I have my three cute little flowers and flowers on one of my backing papers....I hope that's enough flowers for the ladies at Magical!

Right, its still nice and early so I'm off to make some more cards while I'm in the mood!

Thanks for popping by today,

Cute Sketch!

Evening everyone - hope you've all had a lovely day today!

I'm here with another card and today I promise there is no pizza sauce! Hee, hee! Today's card has been created using a fab sketch from Magical Crafts. The DT have created lovely cards, its nice to see how people use sketches differently.....take a peek here.

My card was created using some pink backing paper and some gorgeous floral paper that I got free with a crafting magazine. I cut the swirls out using my trusty cuttlebug (they are decoration on a party hat!) and I used a mini punch to create the flowers (to be honest I forgot the flowers originally - whoops!). I created the sentiment on my computer and made the little shoe out of more pink paper. I then added some sticky gems and some sparkly glitter glue!

I'm pleased with this one...its pink and purple...sparkles a lot and is very girlie!

By the way...I heard on the radio today that Johnny Depp spends the equivalent of £100 a day on scented candles!! I'm a huge Johnny fan (he's so gorgeous!), but thats a lot of money to spend on candles!! Maybe I heard the presenter wrong?!

Right....I've got to bake lots of cupcakes this evening in preparation for Brownie Pack Holiday this weekend so I better get going!

Thanks for stopping by today,

Something for the Girls!

Afternoon All! Hope you're all well today!

I've just come across a fab blog called Magical Crafts where they run fortnightly craft challenges, they encourage crafters who use all different techniques to enter their challenges. This fortnight's challenge is called "Something for the girls!", which I think is a fab theme! The DT creations are all so lovely, pop by here to take a peek.

I actually made the perfect card for this challenge last night, it all started with the sentiment which I thought was fab.......

Hee, hee! Now wouldn't you just love to get this card from your friend?!?

The sentiment was created on the computer, the backing papers came from my stash - I've got a new punch that I wanted to try out....I like the pretty edging it gave me. The bra is made out of patterend paper and I've added some pretty pink lace to the edge. I then made the bra straps out of ribbon!

I showed this to mum once I was finished and she just burst out laughing......at least I made her smile!

The weather forecast is still looking good for the weekend....I feel so sorry for all those runners on Sunday....I think they'll be having a rather hot run this year! If anyone reading this post is taking place in the marathon I wish you all the best - I hope you enjoy it! I haven't run in so long now!!

Right, thats all for today.....thanks for popping by!
