What?? Limit my coffee??

Yes folks...last week I had some interesting news...apparently I need to watch my caffine intake!! Now I wouldn't say that I'm a coffee addict, I definitly don't drink ten cups a day...but I do love a good cup of coffee or tea or green tea (you should have seen the doctor's face when I said I drink all three!!). I've been having blood pressure isues for a while now and finally the doctor has issued me with some lifesytle changes to make...lucky me!! I've also been told that decaffinated versions of drink aren't that good for me either....I should be drinking naturally caffine free stuff.....lots of fruit tea for me then!!

So inspired by this wonderful news I came up with this card...

The lovely sketch can be found over at Crazy 4 Challenges this week...now I don't normally like circles, but I really loved this sketch! My colours of soft pinks came from the pink challenge over at Lili's Little Fairies and cool colours challenge at DYSU.

Finally Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge has a food and drink challenge and Simon Says Stamp challenge has a fruity challenge....I've opted for this cute LOTV teatime image, coupled with the gorgeous cherry backing paper. This image always reminds me of me and my sister...especially since we do love an afternoon tea! This is us at a vintage event....what do you think??

Talking of tea...we have our second Blooming Tea Party for Marie Curie next Saturday....can we all start doing our sunshine dances as I don't think its going to be much fun in mum's garden if it keeps raining like this!!

Bit of a Boring Card!

Hey there...hope you're having a good day!

Well I have to say I'm not particularly impressed with my card this evening....its ok...theres nothing wrong with it...its just a bit boring!!

The photo is also awful...not sure what has happened here, but I seem to have given the card a bit of a vintage feel!!

I do love this stamp....it reminds me of my first car which was a little mini just like this one! Even the colour I've picked is the same!! I've coloured the mini using my Promarkers and used three different backing papers to create this card.

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Father's Day

Celebrate the Occasion - Father's Day

Ha, ha!!

This is a photo of Joe drifting the track, his car is the white and black one......

As you can see the track was quite dusty and there was a lot of wind, not to mention the tyre rubber flying through the air!! I'm happy to report that I'm back, I'm clean and I've been crafting!! Inspired by the photo challenge at Chocolate, Coffee and Cards I decided to make a bright, cheerful card today, this is the photo...

Isn't that a fab cake?? I love the colours and decided they would make a fab card!

Challenges Galore!

Happy Sunday Folks!

Hope you're all having a fab weekend! I survived my Brownie experience yesterday....I was tasked with supervising the circus skills equiptment....unfortuantly for me this was a very popular area with the Brownies! I think I probably saw all 550 of them at some point in the day!!

Today has been a lot more sedate....a trip to Tescos....some housework (boring!!) and some crafting!! I also decided to do some blog surfing to find some new challenge blogs to add to the ones I already join each week. There are soooo many out there!!

Inspired by all the DT cards I've seen today I got stuck in.....

I have to say that I am sooo pleased with this card (despite those polka dots giving me a bit of a headache!!) I've used blue backing paper, along with that fab polka dot paper. I've used a Digi Doodles vintage car image along with a Papermania stamped image and I think they look quite cute together. My little mechanic is fixed on the card using 3D sticky pads to make him look like hes in front of the car!

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

Digi Doodles Challenge - work related (hes a mechanic!!)

Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C137 - Happy Birthday

Chocolate, Coffee & Cards Challenges - One for the boys

Truely Scrumptious - anything goes

Now for a card that I'm not so keen on....

This one hasn't quite turned out how I'd like it to....but hey ho! Along with the green backing paper and patterned papers, I've also used this quite LOTV teddy bears picnic image and some beautiful green organza. My image is coloured with my Promarkers.

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

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - in the garden

Lili's Little Fairies - bear essentials

Keeping it in the family

Hello folks, hope you're having a lovely weekend.

Its so nice to see some sunshine. Today is a sad day for me and my family, as its a whole year since my Dad passed away from cancer. I still can't believe that a year has passed by so quickly and I'd like to thank all my friends and family for their ongoing support - you're all wonderful!

With this in mind I was pleased to see a "card for a man or boy challenge" over at Allsorts this week....this card is for my Dad...

This cheeky little chappie reminds me of my Dad quite a bit....althought the image has a lot more hair than Dad had!! Dad was a complete handy man....complete with lots of tools! There wasn't anything he wouldn't try and fix himself!

I've spent this morning with my mum and my sister and her hubby at Wisley Gardens, a beautiful place that we visited with Dad when he was well. We wandered around the gardens and bought lots of plants between us.

After this I've had some time to myself, so I did what makes me happiest....I baked some cupcakes and made some cards!! Here is my next card...

I'm pleased with how this card turned out, the LOVT image is really cute and these papers are lovely new ones that I got free with a magazine. I've added a punched flower and a little glitter. I'd like to enter this card in the following challenge:

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Card for Mum

DYSU - use a flower

Lili's Little Fairies - your favourite craft tool (my flower punch)

Finally I've made a card for the medals and monarchs challenge over at Sir Stampalot this month....

I haven't got any olympic or jubliee inspired craft items in my stash......so I decided to go with the colours of the Union Jack....red, white and blue.....these are  colours we're going to see a lot of this summer!! I also decided to add a cup of tea.....after all...what can be more British than a cup of tea??

Happy Sunday folks, hope you're all well.

Soooo.....today I have a cute little card to share with you....be warned its fluffy, a little cute and scrummy!!

Lili's Little Fairies - sketch

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - cute 'n' fluffy

CES Challenge - candy & cupcakes - show something sweet on your card

I spent yesterday afternoon in the kitchen.....baking lots of scrummy cupcakes! I decided to experiement with flavours and so took one basic batter mix and then experiemented with mini cupcakes....heres what I came up with! There is a big coffee cake with vanilla frosting and a big blueberry cake. Then I made a mini baileys cupcake, a mini cola flavoured cake and two mini lemon cupcakes (one with citrus strands and one with lavender crystals). Then I made my favourite one...peanut butter cupcake with a chocolate ganche and sprinkled with a little sea salt - yummy!!

What a week!

Well, I have to say I've had a fun packed and very eventful week! You may have noticed that I haven't posted since last Tuesday which is a bit odd for me....well I was really lucky and mum whisked me away to Bath for a couple of days! I've had soooo many Birthday celebrations this year and Bath really was the icing on top of the cake - what a wonderful place....I actually wish I lived there (although I think I'd be very poor all the time!!).

Soooo...this morning I've finally had my oven door fixed (so I can start baking again!!) and I've been catching up with my card challenges.

After the no pink challenge at Sweet Stampin this week I decided that pink was the way to go this morning....with one of my favourite stamps....

This card features loads of my favourite things....pink, cooking, buttons, lace, stitching and of course a bit of bling! I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Inspired by a film - I've been inspired by all the cooking in "Julie & Julia"....if you haven't seen this fab film, you really should!

Simon Says Stamp - this cute layout is inspired by the sketch created by Dawny this week

CES Challenge - buttons - the more the merrier!

Passion for Promarkers - pink, pearls and lace.....to my dismay I only had one actual pearl (see bottom right hand corner), but I also fab these gorgeous pearly buttons! I've gone for paper lace punched using my Martha Stewart border punch and of course I love pink!! And of course my image is coloured with my Promarkers!

I've got one last Birthday surprise this afternoon (yes another one!!), my fab friend Alex is taking me somewhere....I have no idea where, but I have to wear a pretty dress!! I better go and get ready...I'll be back tomorrow to tell you all about it!

Thanks for popping by today,

Not the best colouring!

Helloooeeee!

Thank you to everyone for their lovely Birthday messages, I had such a lovely time this year and its so nice to read everyone's comments too.

I'm back! I've had a fab 24 hours....Joe whisked me off to Bournemouth yesterday afternoon as a Birthday surprise! We paddled in the sea, walked along the beach and stayed in a fab hotel. Then today.....we went to Monkey World! Such a fab place! Yes, I'm a big kid at heart and I don't care!! Joe loves the chimps and made a friend who he wanted to bring home!


As well as the two cards that I posted yesterday, I also started another one which I've had the opportunity to finish off this evening.....I'm not as happy with this one as my colouring is rubbish! However, I love the layout and so decided to share it with you anyway....

See what I mean.....rubbish colouring!

I want to enter this card in the following challenges:

Secrect Crafter Saturday Challenge - a mans card

Digi Doodle - paper lace

Papertake Weekly Challenge - a stitch in time (there is faux silver stitching on the grey paper lace!)

I hope this isn't too girlie for a man's card.....I always seem to make things a bit girlie!!

Feeling a bit like Willy Wonka!

Hey there folks, how are you today?

Well, I have had a lovely weekend...its the first one in ages where I had nothing planned and although I've had a fun month full of adventures I was really pleased to have a weekend to myself! I've spent loads of time crafting and in the kitchen - no surprise there really!!

This month sees Sir Stampalot's 2nd Birthday and to celebrate they are having a fab blog hop...there are loads of prizes up for grabs, pop by their blog to find out more. Their challenge this month is Happy Birthday...and to celebrate I made this Birthday cake card:

I'm not usually very experiemental when it comes to shaped cards, but this weekend I decided to give something new a go. I'm really pleased by how it turned out and I think the card works really well with this sentiment. As well as Sir Stampalot I would also like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Shaped card

Allsorts - photo inspiration - I've picked the colours pink, yellow and brown and the image of a cake

There is also a new challenge over at CES Challenge where they have a "no girls allowed challenge" this week. We all know I'm not a fan of masculine cards, but since I was already out of my comfort zone with the shaped card I thought I'd give this challenge a go too!!

Do the polka dots make it a bit girlie??

Soooo....are you wondering what I got up to in my kitchen this weekend and why I'm feeling a bit like Willy Wonka?? Well, I've been making my own easter eggs! They are surprisingly easy to make and I'm really pleased with what I've made so far...although I think I might go a bit fancy and make some floral decorations for them.....

I've made some large ones....some medium ones....and some teeny tiny ones (which are filled with popping candy!). Of course I've had to sample some of the same ones, just to make sure the popping candy worked and I can tell you that they are yummy!

Anyway, thanks for popping by today,

A bit of shabby chic

Hello campers, hope you had a fab weekend!

I'm amazed that its already Monday evening again...where does time go?? We took the Brownies to London on Saturday, we hunted for eggs in St James Park which was fun. Then on Sunday I watched Joe and his friends play with remote control cars all day....yes, as well as big noisy cars they all now have small remote control cars too!! At least we had a lovely BBQ and I got to relax in the sunshine!

This evening I've been having fun with a little bit of shabby chic crafting and a card with a little suprise.....soooo here's the card.....

Secret Crafter Saturday Challange have a shabby chic/vintage challenge for us this week, and so I've opted for soft muted colours...along with one of my favourite embellishments....a doillie!

"Whats the surprise?" I hear here you cry....well here you are....

Ohhhh....I've created a little secret pocket on my card that contains a cupcake recipe! Perfect for sending to a friend....to hint that you want some cake! This fits in with the "use a cooking recipe" theme over at Allsorts this week.

I'm pleased to report that I am really happy with how this card has turned out! I'd also like to enter it in the "sound of music" challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge this week! My music inspiration was "If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake" by Eileen Barton.....remember that little ditty?? I bet that one line is stuck in your head now....I think I'll be going to bed singing it! Anyway, send this card to your friend and they'll have no excuse not to have a cake waiting for you when you pop by!

Happiness is.....

....some freshly baked cake!

This evening I was given some cake batter....some Herman cake batter no less. Its a German friendship cake that is passed between friends and family. You get given a little batter and some instructions and over the course of ten days you nuture the cake and then on the last day you divide it up...bake one bit and give the other bits to family and friends so they can have their own Herman cake too! Isn't that fab? Thank you Alex for sharing with me!

Inspired by my Herman cake I decided to create a yummy cupcake card (well I don't really need much encouragement do I??).

Hee, hee! Cute isn't it??

I've used a pretty pastel pink backing paper, topped it with some pink and white lacy paper and a pretty mini doilie. I've added my cute sentiment to some more pink paper and then added my trio of cupcakes!

This sweet card is for the following challenges:

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - doilies are not just for cakes

Allsorts - three in a row

I must also say a big thank you to the lovely Secret Crafter ladies....as I was their lucky winner last week and have won a $10 Digi Doodle gift voucher...how exciting!

Saying it with flowers.....and no images!

Evening Folks!

Well another day has flown by! I was supposed to go for a run when I got home this evening, but somehow I got distracted by my craft desk! Whoops!

I have a couple of cards I'd like to share with you this evening...the first is a Mother's Day card featuring flowers....

I've used a pretty green backing paper, along with some flowery paper. My flowers have been stamped twice and coloured. I've used the first stamp on the bottom for the leaves and I cut the flowers out of the second stamp and attached them with 3D sticky pads to add some depth. I've made this card for the "say it with flowers" challenge over at Allsorts and the "for the girls" challenge over at Papertake Weekly.

Now anyone who has popped by my blog before will know how much I love my sentiments....anything that makes me chuckle is good for my cards! Thats why the "no image, just words" challenge at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge this week is right up my street! And here is my card...

Yep, I know I'm slightly obsessed with this Martha Stewart punch...but its soooo pretty!! So, did I make you giggle?? I'd normally add a pair of knickers to a card featuring this sentiment, but as I can't use an image I decided to focus on making the card pretty....the punched border also kind of reminds me of knicker elastic!!

Pop by all the blogs mentioned to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been made!

Thanks for popping by today, I'll be back later this week with some more cards!

Weird Weather!

What a day! First off it was REALLY wet and a bit windy....then I had snow...yes actual snowflakes falling from the sky.....then finally some lovely sunshine!! I didn't really know what to do with myself today and with that weird weather going on outside I decided to stay indoors! I've watched a movie, read a magazine, made a red thai chicken and sweet potato curry and done some baking! What a busy, but relaxing day!!

Sooooo....here are some of my new cards....

First off for the pastels challenge over at Passion for Promarkers I have this sweet card.......

As you probably know I love this stamp, its so scrummy! I've used some pastel coloured baking papers, a punched border in the middle and my scrummy cupcake along with the sweet sentiment.

My second card is for the Green for Go challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge this week....

The ladies want to see green feature as the main colour in our creations this week....I opted for a some fresh spring inspired backing paper to match the darker green and fresh pink papers. I'd also like to enter this in the Cute Card Thursday Challenge this week which is "signs of spring". I've used a cute jam stamp on this card because I know as spring is around the corner so is my mum's amazing homemade jam! Yummy!

Finally, another month brings a new challenge at Sir Stampalot and this month they'd like us to take inspiration from some new kits they have. There are some gorgeous backing papers, some swirls, pearls and buttons to inspire us!

I took my inspiration from the cute polka dot paper that features in the kit. I love polka dots, they always make a card look cute. I've added a fun sentiment and some stamped cupcakes to finish the card.

Now I also mentioned that I've been baking....well yesterday I made some mini victoria sponge cakes and today I've made a delicious pile of chocododdles (a fab Nigella recipe which is part cake part biscuit and really rather tasty)!! I'm really glad that I have lots of willing volunteers to sample my goodies otherwise I don't think my clothes would fit anymore!!

Thanks for popping by today and I hope you've had a fab weekend!

Lots of yummy food!

Hello peeps! Hope you're all having a lovely weekend!

Warning...if you're currently on a diet you might want to skip the next bit!!

My weekend has been fab....yesterday was spent mooching around London with my sister Lorna, we wandered around looking in shops and generally having a good natter....then we stumbled across the most amazing ice-cream boutique (yes thats what they called it!!). Its called The Icecreamists and they serve amazing ice-cream, yummy hot doughnuts and fab coffee....this was my rather naughty lunch (I think its lucky we did lots of walking too)!

Today I have been to the Make It crafting exhibition at Farnborough...I was really looking forward to it, but I have to say I was a little disappointed....at least a third of the stalls were non-crafting related!! I have also done a little baking (more about that later) and made some cards....

This card was inspired by the following challenges:

Sweet Sketch Wednesday - awesome sketch

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - white on white (as little colour as possible)

Cute Card Thursday - winged things

I usually struggle when it comes to non-colour cards....I love my baking papers in all there glorious colours! However, I actually enjoyed making this card. I've used both embossed papers and punched papers to add interest. I have highlighted the cute little chicks to make them stand out a little.

I love this sentiment...it makes me smile!! This card is for the "its your choice" challenge at Allsorts this week.

Now where is this baking I mentioned earlier I hear you say. Well, I decied I wanted to bake some cakes today, but couldn't decide what flavour to make....so I made several! I have made coffee cakes, vanilla cakes, baileys cakes and a new flavour that I haven't tried before....strawberry and blueberry! I made these an iced tea mix...I hope they're tasty!

Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed popping by today...its lovely to see you!

Time for tea!

Hello folks, hope you've had a good Monday.

I'm back from my Zumba class...it nearly finished me off this evening....I can't wait to go to bed!! All I can think of as I'm shaking my hips is that I hope my winter insulation will shake off quickly!
So, this weekend I went to my local shops and looked through all the craft magazines - I subscribe to one magazine that I really like, but I always take a look at the others each month...you never know what you'll find! This time I was pleasantly surprised with some really sweet freebie stamps...

As well as these cute ice cream sundaes there is a Birthday cake and a jar of sweets.....soooo cute!

This card has been created for the following challenges:

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - red, white, black and some texture

Allsorts - Free and Easy

This weekend we had a Valentines themed crafternoon tea at my sisters flat. There were 8 of us in total and we ate lots of very yummy food and made cards. As well as heart shaped biscuits and chocolate covered shortbread hearts, Rafina's gorgeous red velvet cupcakes and Lorna's homemade scones. Yummy! I also made some bread for the open sandwiches. No wonder I need to keep going to Zumba!!

In the garden....

....well, the snow came last night! It looks pretty out there, but I'm not a huge fan of the snow really....my car is rear-wheel drive and therefore goes mad in the snow and so I can't drive! Plus I worry about twisting my stupid knee and setting off a flare up (I really don't want to end up on crutches again!!). So, with all this white stuff outside whats a girl to do?? Get crafting!!

We're having a valentines themed crafternoon tea next weekend....and as usual I'm really looking forward to getting the girls together for some yummy food and fab crafts! I'm trying to pick the crafts we'll do this time, but I've already decided on my sweet treats!Plus I've been making some decorations for Lorna's flat! Sooooo exciting!

As well as all this planning, I've been making cards and have two I'd like to share with you....



My first card is a bespoke card that someone asked me to make for them.....its pink, shiny and A4 in size......and I had great fun making it! I was given the brief - shoes, bling, pink and silver and that fab sentiment! I'm not sure who its for, but I hope they like it!! I stamped the sentiment with my letter stamps and coloured with my Promarkers. Then I made the shoes out of silver and fab pink sparkly paper. They are 3D and really pop from the card....I added some sequins for extra bling!

I'm entering this card in Allsorts Free & Easy Challenge this week.

I'm really pleased with this second card....its another colour combo that I don't use very often, but I think it looks fab. Fab flowery backing papers, punched flowers, faux stitching and two little bunny rabbits = CUTE!!

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

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Hugs and Kisses (I think they're kissing!!)

Sir Stampalot Challenge - in the garden - I wish my garden looked this lush at the moment!!

Right, I still have lots more crafting time before Joe comes home for work....so I'm off!!

More recycling...some ribbon and some hearts!

Hello Campers! I survived another Brownie pack holiday.....or a Brownie Residential Experience as I'm supposed to call it apparently!!! We had tiaras, tears and cupcakes!Two little ones decided go home, but apart from that the little princesses all had a fab time!!

Today I took an annual leave day in order to recover.....I've spent my morning sleeping (I'm getting too old for these weekends!!) and the afternoon crafting! What a wonderful day! I'd like to share a card with you that I'm really quite pleased with....its pretty and sparkly...but not pink or purple (yes, I know how shocked you are!!).

I've gone with a rich red and orange colour combo.....along with a pretty white lace butterfly (taken from a birthday card my aunty sent me last year), some pretty ribbon from my stash and two little hears on pins. I stamped my sentiment and backed it with more of the red paper.

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

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - ribbons

Allsorts - one or more hearts

Cupcake Craft Challenge - recycle

All my favourite things!

Hello folks.....hope you're having a lovely weekend.

I've been lucky enough to have a long weekend, and I have to say its been fab! Its been full of all my favourite things....friends, food, crafting....and the odd glass of bubbles!! Wonderful! Becca and Lorna visted on Friday for a girlie sleepover (I haven't laughed that much in ages!!), Lorna had arrived at luchtime on the Friday and I greeted her with a homemade mini afternoon tea...yummy!! Yesterday afternoon was spent watching a cheesy rom-com and making myself a cute cushion. Last night Joe and I saw Aron and Alex...we drank, watched rubbish TV and even fought zombies!! Today I've been making cards....I'm currently up to my eye balls in pretty paper - bliss!!

There are also lots of my favourite things featuring in my favourite challenges this week!! Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge has a fab food and drink challenge, which I made this card for:

There is an awesome needles and pins challenge at Allsorts - as I've proved this weekend, I love a bit of sewing which inspired me to make this card....

Finally, there is a music and dance challenge over at Cute Card Thursday - you can beat a good boogie!!

Something New...with a sweet twist!

Hello Folks,
How are you today? I hope you've had a fab weekend!

I've spent this afternoon making beef stew, raspberry vodka liquer and cards.......what a fab combination! I am now nice and full (don't you just love comfort food) and looking forward to trying my liquer once its cooled down a bit!

So, Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge has a fab challenge this week.....its called "Let them eat cake"......probably one of my favourite things to do! So I couldn't really miss this challenge could I??

I love these stamps and this sentiment.....oldies, but goodies!! On the other hand I have also used cute new backing paper....the pink one with tiny white stars.....isn't it cute?? Its also perfect for a couple of challenge blogs which have a "something new" theme:

Simon Says Stamp!

Cute Card Thursday

Also....Papertake Weekly has an "anything goes" challenge, along with the optional theme of "something new"!

Anything Goes!

Hello Campers! How are you today?

Well, I can't believe nearly a whole week has passed already.....I hope you had a lovely Christmas and you're now looking forward to the new year! My Christmas was good....lots of entertaining! My homemade pressies went down very well (thank goodness!!). Joe bought me a rather unusual pressie.....here I am wearing it! What do you think??

Today has been blissful.....I found a new shop that has opened in Aldershot called The Range (the place with the awful Christmas ad on the telly!!). Anyway, they have a HUGE craft department!! I was in heaven! As a result of my shopping trip I have spent an afternoon making cards and painting (yes, I've found another crafty hobby!!).

Here is one of the cards that I've created this afternoon.....

I'm entering this card in the "Anything Goes" challenge that both Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and Simon Says Stamp has this week! Pop by both blogs to see all the gorgeous DT cards!

Finally....also coming under the "anything goes" heading are the cakes that I've made this evening....cola cupcakes! Yes, you read that right...these are flavoured with that cola syrup that you use in Soda Streams! I haven't tried them yet, but I hope they're tasty!!
