A little bit of glitter, some autumn colours and Nigella!

Hello everyone..hope you're all having a good Saturday.

I've had a lovely lazy Saturday...had a cheeky lie-in, followed by a wander around the shops and then a little crafting while watching Come Dine With Me (a true guilty pleasure) on the telly. I treated myself to the new book from Nigella Lawson....it's called Kitchen and I'm so pleased I bought it! There are so many different recipes that I'm looking forward to trying out! I love Nigella, she comes across as a normal woman who really enjoys cooking.

Right, so onto my first card....

...this is slightly different to my usual cupcake cards, which always seem to be pink or purple! The reason for this particulat colour scheme is the challenge over at Allsorts this week, where they have called for colours of autumn.

I've also been looking around blogland for some new challenge blogs...I'm so nosey so I love a bit of blog hoppy! This card also fits in with the Birthday challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog and the anything goes challenge over at A Crafty Little Place.

Since I've entered this card into three challenges, I thought I'd also enter it in the Pile It On challenge blog, their theme this week is Layers.

Pop over to all the blogs mentioned to see the gorgeous DT cards.




Since I'm off on my hols tomorrow and won't be posting again until next Saturday I thought I'd add another card too....this time it's my weekly Christmas hit! I have a very sparkly card for you...

...told you it was sparkly! This simple card is for two Christmas challenges...

Bah! Humbug! has asked us crafters to create something using our favourie meduim....whether it be digi images, stamping, embossing...whatever floats your boat! Over this year I've developed quite a passion for stamping....I'm not the best in the world at it, but I really enjoy using my stamps!

The reason this is so simple is because the theme over at Winter Wonderland is "one layer card". They basically want cards that will be easy to post...no bows or embellishments!

These are new stamps that I got in a goodie bag recently...this was the first time I've used them and if I'm honest I found the quite tricky to use. I've used glitter glue to colour the images, picking out the detail in different colours. I'm not really a huge fan of this card.

Right, sorry for the long post....I'll see you next week after a week lying on the beach! I shouldn't show off really....bet it'll rain all week now!

Thanks for stopping by today and thank you for all your lovely comments, everyone is so encouraging and supportive.
