Whoops! Here I am!

Hello there,

I hope you're well and have had a tea-riffic day!

Sooooo......this isn't Saturday morning....whoops! Usually I pop by on a Saturday to share my latest DT card for the fab Sweet Stampin challenge blog....but last week I got rather confused and didn't think it was my week!

Well, what was the challenge I hear you say? This week we want to see your projects featuring a non white card blank......so you can create anything (with some stamping) as long as there is no white cards harmed in the making of your project!

I opted to use kraft card as my backing and decided I wanted the kraft to feature as part of the card....

I found these lovely stamps as part of a set which came free with a craft magazine and I just love that sentiment and the cute little house.

I stamped the trees and house onto kraft card and cut them out before attaching to my base card. I then stamped the house again on white paper and cut out the snowy roof for my card. I added a little more white paper as the snow, along with some colour on both the house and trees.

For more inspiration pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog, where you're there you can find out about our sponsor this week....

So, I am going off to put a reminder in my calendar to make sure I don't miss the next challenge! 

Don't forget that we also have the fab Christmas at Sweet Stampin monthly challenge for anyone wanting to get ahead with their Christmas cards!

Thanks for popping by today,

Oh deer!

Hello there,

Happy Hump Day! I hope you are well and having a great week.

I'm back with a new challenge from the lovely ladies at Christmas at Sweet Stampin...this time our theme is "oh deer" - we want to see your Christmas creations featuring a deer or two...and don't forget your stamping!

I am really pleased with this card....although that little deer was a little fiddly to cut out! I thought it was a fab idea when I first stamped him on kraft card and started cutting....but then I got to those antlers! I used really small scissors!

I have gone with a brown and blue colour combo for this non-traditional Christmas card...although the blue and white polka dot paper reminds me of snowy skies. After I cut my reindeer out I fixed him to my card with 3D sticky pads. Finally I finished him off with a red shiny nose!

Let it Snow!

Hello there!

Well, I am here with the last challenge of 2013 for Christmas at Sweet Stampin....I can't believe that this year has already flown by....at least I have a fab stash of Christmas cards to send to friends and family!

Our challenge this month is "Let it Snow"....we want to see your frosty inspired cards! I decided I had to feature a cute snowman on my card.....

 

He looks like he's enjoying his winter wonderland in the snow! I have printed my digi image and coloured it with my Promarkers. I have then added a little sparkle with my Stickles. I've gone with a blue colour scheme for this card, including some fab snowflake backing paper.

Winter Sports!

Hello there!

Happy Wednesday...I hope you are having a good week....I do love bank holiday weekends, they make the working week so much shorter!

I spent my weekend in the garden, it was lovely to finally see some sunshine and get on top of all the weeds! Also got my veggies planted. I ache all over at the moment, but it was worth it! Now can you all keep your fingers crossed for everything to grow please!

Soooo.....another month has flown by and we have a new challenge for you over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin. And this month....just as the snow has finally melted we are asking to see your cards featuring a winter sport.

Now, I have to say I struggled a little here....I don't seem to have many images featuring any kind of sport....let alone a winter one!! Luckily I managed to unearth this image....

 

So, my winter sport is sledging, with a little walking thrown in!!

 

My cute image is coloured with my Promarkers and I have gone with a blue theme to match all the snow. I have added some sparkle to the snow with my Stickles. Finally I added my brilliant sentiment....I really should use this one more, it makes me smile!

Time for some snowmen.....

Hello there...Happy Saturday!

Hope you've had a fab week!

Soooo...have you seen that wonderful advert with the snowman and his girlifriend??As you may be aware I LOVE christmas....and I'm a sucker for a good advert...especially at Christmas time and those snowpeople are soooo cute!!

Anyway, over at My Time to Craft this week we have a fab new challenge...we'd like to see your projects featuring snowmen...so you better get watching that advert!!

The fab DT have come up with some wonderful creations this week, and here is my card.....

 

To match my cute Pollycraft snowman I have gone with non-traditional Christmas colours....opting instead for some snowy blues and whites! I've gone for a blue background, topped with gorgeous polka dot backing paper. Across the middle is some pretty white punched paper, and I've also added some faux stitching to the edge and some fab snowflakes.

 

My image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have been very liberal with the Stickles....there is glitter snow on the image and the snowflakes have been coated in glitter too!!

Weird experience.....

......I have been stuck at my boyfriend's for most of this week...stranded by all the white stuff!! I have been cut off from the internet and separated from my craft stash (I knew I needed to refill the goodies that I keep at his, but I kept forgetting!!). I have had the last chapter of a book and daytime TV to keep me going! My knee is still not happy at the moment, so I had to stay indoors!! It has been a slightly depressing week, and I thought that come today when I was reunited with all my crafting items that I would be rearing to go.

Image my disappointment to realise that my heart's just not in it today!

Its one of those days.....I've pottered around doing not much really, and half heartedly trying to make cards. Its a bit weird to be honest! I'm blaming the snow (and my dodgy knee), I just want to curl up in bed and try and keep warm....or I want to stuff my face with comfort food all day! Neither of these things are particularly productive though!

Anyway, thats my moaning out of the way......I have managed to make one card that is worthy of sharing....and it fits in with a couple of card challenges which always makes me happy!

Over on Cute Card Thursday they have a challenge called "All New!" and they want to see cards with a new theme.....I opted for the new stash option and used a new present topper that I have been given for Christmas (part of a set). The DT have come up with some fab examples to inspire you: http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/2010/01/challenge-94-all-new.html

The layout I have used for this card comes from Mina at Truly Scrumptious Challenges. Its the first time I have visited this blog and I love it! Check out the DT examples for this challenge: http://trulyscrumptiouschallenges.blogspot.com/2010/01/challenge-23_05.html. As well as the layout they gave an extra optional challege of using pink, green and black as the colour scheme......not sure what happened...I seem to have missed the green out! Whoops!

For the card I used a black and white funky flowers backing paper, along with some bring pink card squares. I then used two circles - the bottom one is a hatched vellum and that is topped with a circle of handmade paper. I added the present topper and some little flowers for a girlie touch!

I'm hoping that tomorrow I will get my mojo back and will be maling cards all day...but for now I think I hear my bed calling!

Just before I go....one last thing....HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHEREE! Hope you had a fab day Hun! xx
