Minature Madness!

Hello...me again...yes I have too much time on my hands this evening!

Anyway, I've spend the last hour creating some fab little cards, each one measures just 4inches by 4inches and they look so cute!! I bought another set of stamps at the show on Sunday which feature cute little birdies with balloons which you can add words to! So, I've been blisssfully stamping, colouring and sticking and here are my miniature creations!

I've used all kinds of backing papers for these cute cards, along with little punched flowers and sparkly gems. I think they're perfect for saying "hello" to someone!

My favourite card is one that I made using some embossed polka dot backing paper and the "Howdy doody" stamp...and I have found two embossing challenges that this little card is perfect for. Firstly Paper Sundaes has an embossing challenge and so does Paper Play...you can use either wet or dry embossing for both challenges...pop by the blogs and see all the fab DT cards.

Right, thats it from me tonight...I promise! Thanks for popping by!

Coffee and cream!

Hello there! Woo hoo! It's a Wednesday evening...it's 7:30pm...I've had dinner and made a card! What's going on I hear you ask! Well, it's half term this week, so I get a welcome break from Brownies and Guides. I love my role, but do need a week off every so often! It's so nice not to be rushing around!

Anyway, I mentioned a card....and here it is....I'm really pleased with this one...

As it's a Wednesday the fab layout comes from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. If I'm honest I found this sketch a little complicated, but I perservered and I'm pleased with the end result. The image choice and gorgeous flower are for the Penny Black at Allsorts monthly challenge where the theme is "say it with flowers". My colour combo is for two challenges...firstly Simon Says Stamp has a "coffee and cream" colour combo this week (they've also got a DT call this week) and Paper Sundaes have called for masculine colours...I thought the green paper went very well with my browns and cream. Pop by all the blogs mentioned above and see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created - they're fab!

I've got a fun weekend to look forward to...Saturday is Crafternoon tea with the girls...we're all meeting at Lorna's for a homemade afternoon tea on Lorna's vintage china. Then we're having a crafting session in Lorna's fab new craft room...I really need to decide on what craft we're doing this time! I love these days...nothing better than drinking from a bone china teacup and eating delicious cake with your friends! Then on Sunday I'm going to the Make It show in Farnborough to spend lots of pennies! I can't wait!

Thanks for stopping by today,

Anniversary Monkeys!

Morning! I'm munching a delicious cinnamon hot cross bun this morning, its so yummy! Here is a wedding anniversary card that I finished off last night for the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge this week....

Their challenge is "its a couple thing"...I thought this cheeky pair were just perfect! Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but it would definitly make Joe smile if I gave him this card on our anniversary! I've also distressed the edges of my spotty paper and therefore I'd like to enter this in the distressing challenge over at Paper Sundaes.

I wanted to try and make it a unisex card...so either a man or a woman could give it...I've done this using pink and blue backing papers. However, I think maybe its just a bit too girlie??

Right, as usual I've got to get my skates on! Hope you have a good day!

Bags of fun!

Hello everyone! Hope you're all keeping well!

I'm just back from the cinema, I went and saw the King's Speech this evening and I have to say it was a wonderful film. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it that much, but it really worked it's magic on me! I've also managed to finish off a card that I am rather proud of......

This pretty easel card is perfect for several different challenges that I've come across:

The Creative Card Challenge - a shaped card

Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Bingo! I've chosen Buttons, Flowers and Glitter

Paper Sundaes - Birthday challenge - I've chosen an easel card

Don't forget to pop over to all the blogs mentioned above to see all the gorgeous DT cards!

I've got some lovely plans for this weekend....on Saturday evening we're seeing Rick Astley! Yes, that 80s pop icon is paying a visit to little old Kingston! I hope you've all got fab plans too!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, hope you see you again soon!

Lots of circles!

Hello there, hope you're having a fab Monday!

I'm going for dinner to celebrate my friend's Birthday in a bit, but I just wanted to share a new card with you first.

The challenge this week at Cupcake Craft Challenges is "something new", it can be anything new...a baby, a home, a job...new stash! I decided to make a new baby card as I haven't made one in ages. I haven't used this stamp before, but I think its quite cute!

There is another challenge included on this card too, can you guess what it is? Paper Sundaes have a circle theme for their challenge this week...so I decided to use this fab dotty paper, along with some cute buttons to embellish my card.

Both blogs feature some gorgeous DT cards, pop by and take a peek!

Faye - I hope you've popped by...I wanted to tell you that the stamp you liked from yesterday's card is a rubber stamp from Hero Arts - I got it from Simon Says Stamp!

Right, I better go and get ready.....I'm looking forward to some yummy dinner at Prezzo this evening. I completlty forgot to add this yesterday.....

Happy Birthday Sheree!

Thanks for stopping by today,

If you're ha-pea and you know it!

Hello there...look I'm posting before 10pm! Woo hoo!

I've had a lovely afternoon crafting while watching the movie Grease on the TV. Joe has come home from the garage early, so we can have a nice evening together too!

The challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge this week was a little challenging for me to say the least! The theme is white is white and they want to see projects that are predominantly white....as you all know I love colour...lots of colour! However, I gave it a go and here is my card....

I like the idea of using peas on my cards....just think of the possibilities!

I've used a piece of green card and a piece of white card for the backing and then made a little pea out of more green card. I've added googly eyes and a hand written sentiment. I'd also like to enter this card for the free & easy challenge over at Whoopsi Daisy and the something new challenge over at Paper Sundaes. My something new is the fab black new I used to outline the letters - it's a Japanese pen that I actually bought for Joe but that seems to have made it into the craft kit!! Whoops!

Right, I'm off...I've got dinner to make!

Thanks for stopping by today.
