Thanks....

Hello There....Happy Friday!

Yes, yes...I know I'm technically away for the weekend...but there is always time for a quick card isn't there??

So I've got a cute thank you card for you today.....I love this sentiment....

 

I also love pink and blue as a colour combo....I think they go so well together, especially when in these soft shades.

 

Soooo....isn't that a cute Bugaboo image?? When I saw it I knew I had to add it to my ever growing collection of images!! I've coloured the image with my Promarkers and attached it to the card using 3D sticky pads. The sentiment was created on my computer and also attached to the card with 3D sticky pads. The layout for this card comes from the fab sketch over at Cupcake Craft Challenges....I've just flipped it on its side to fit my image in!!

 

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

 

Cupcake Craft Challenge - sketch

Tuesday Throwdown - Thankful

Oldie but a Goodie - NOT Christmas! My old item is the polka dot paper...I love it and its been in my collection for as long as I can remember..I'm slowly using it up in strips!!

Think Pink!

Hello There...Happy Tuesday!

I hope you are well today. Soooooo...October is with us already...how did that happen?? I'll be wishing you all a Happy Christmas before you notice it!

Here at Celebrate the Occasion this week we are celebrating the fact that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month....we'd like to see your projects following this theme. The fab Celebrate the Occasion DT have created all sorts of cards for you.....here's mine.....

 

I've gone with the pink theme here! Making a pink floral bra out of pretty papers, and adding the breast cancer awareness ribbon to the middle and a bit of sparkle to the edges.

 

Pop by the Celebrate the Occasion blog to see what my fellow DT have created this week.

 

The lovely Cupcake ladies are also celebrating breast cancer awareness month with a fab think pink challenge - I'd like to enter this card in their challenge too!

 

Cupcake Craft Challenge - think pink - use pink on your project!

A little bit of support!

Ohhh...another late post from me! I didn't realise what the time was! I'm a little bit sad this evening because there is only one more day of the Christmas madness before the real world becons and I have to go back to work...boo hoo!!

I had a lovely surprise when I looked on the Secret Crafter Saturday challenge blog yesterday....I'd only gone and won the December prize! How cool! I get to choose 5 digis from Stitchy Bear Stamps...how lucky am I?!? Thanks everyone!

The challenge this week over at SCSC is buttons and bows, the DT have created some gorgeous projects for inspiration....and here is my card:

I'm at Joe's at the moment, and crafting here is always a little bit basic because I really don't have that much stash here (even if Joe thinks its too much!!). I didn't have any buttons at my disposal so I made some! I've used pink backing paper, topped with some gorgeous grey patterned paper...I also added a little ribbon and a bow to the corner. I then made my card bra from more pink card, adding a little ribbon bow and my handmade buttons...and a cute little pearl.

I'm not sure where the inspiration for making a bra thank you card came from, but I think its cute and perfect to give to any of my friends after they've listened to my latest moaning! Hee, hee!

I'd also like to enter this card in this week's challenge over at Allsorts where their theme is "Thank you"....I wonder how many bra cards they'll get?!?

Thanks for stopping by today, hope you pop by again soon!

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!
