It's your Birdday!

Hello there,

Happy Saturday! I hope you're well today.

This week's challenge over at Sweet Stampin has a fab "things with wings" theme - there are so many different things with wings so take your pick and get crafting....just remember to include some stamping on your creation!

Now prepare yourself for my card as I've gone a little crazy with the colour combo.....

I told you it was a bit crazy! But it makes me smile so I am happy!

I've coloured my image with my Promarkers and added a lot of sparkle with my Stickles. I have then created a background using both plain, glitter and patterned papers. Finally I added a little faux stitching as a border to my image.

There is so much going on on the front of the card....so I decided to move the sentiment inside....

For more things with wings inspiration pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take the peek at the gorgeous DT cards that have been created this week. While you're there take a peek at the fab prize on offer this week from our lovely sponsor Crafts and Me.

Bingo...and a little competition!

Hello there! Happy Saturday!

Another week has whizzed by and it's time for another fab challenge from the lovely ladies at Sweet Stampin. This week we're playing a spot of bingo!

So you know how it works....three elements from the board....and don't forget some stamping! As soon as I saw the board I knew which line I wanted to include....

Yep, I had to go with purple....then I decided I wanted to work with embellishments as that's something I don't do very often....so I went with pearls and flowers.

I am really pleased with this card, although my photo is very wonky, I love the layout and think the embellishments work well (I will have to experiment more often I think!). I have used polka dot papers, along with a pretty light grey paper. The pearls are the sticky variety and I think they go well with the polka dots.

Cute Christmas!

Hello there,

Happy Hump Day! I do love Wednesdays!

I'm back today with a fab challenge from Christmas at Sweet Stampin....this month we'd love to see your cute Christmas designs! You can create anything as long as you include some stamping and it must be cute, cute, cute!

I decided to combine a couple of my favourite things.....

Yes, penguins and polka dots!

My cute penguin image has been coloured with my Promakers and I have gone with a simple background of kraft card, plain blue paper and blue and white polka dot paper (which always reminds me of snow!).

Pink, pink, lot's of pink!

Hello there!

I hope you're well and have had a lovely week!

I'm back with a new challenge from Sweet Stampin - and this week we have a fab colour challenge for you. We want to see your "perfect in pink" projects!

If you've popped by my blog before you'll know how much I love a girlie card - give me a spot of pink or purple and some sparkles and I'm a happy crafter!

I've coupled all that pink with a girlie bath....some bubbles and lots of polka dots! The perfect birthday card I think....the only thing missing is a bit of cake!

I have printed my Digi Stamp Boutique image with my Promarkers, and I added a bit of sparkle to the bubbles with my Stickles. I have then used a combination of pink plain and patterned papers for the background, along with a printed sentiment.

Show us your Flowers!

Hello there,

Happy Saturday! I'm one happy bunny today...if you popped by on Wednesday you'll know that I am now on annual leave from work and very happy! I'm not going away anywhere...but I have loads of lovely plans with my friends (including a spot of afternoon tea and a spa day!).

Today I am here with a new challenge from Sweet Stampin, this week our theme is flowers. I decided I wanted lots of flowers on my card....

Yes, I opted for this fab flower digi image, plus some bright and cheerful flowery backing paper! I knew I wanted to make this a colourful card (well flowers are colourful aren't they!) and I love this combination of pretty colours. My image is coloured with my Promarkers and I have added some faux white stitching to the edges of the card.
