Up in the Air!

Hello there....me again!

This is my second post for today...please scroll down to see my Sweet Stampin DT card.

This time I'm back with the My Time to Craft challenge...and this week our theme is "Up in the Air"....and by this we mean we'd like you to include something on your card that is in the sky. Birds, bees, airplanes, spaceships...the sky's your limit! Plus we'd like to see the item as the main focus of your creation, not just an embellishment.

I decided to aim high...very high.....

 

Hee, hee!

 

I love this backing paper, the colours are just fab and those little stars are a nice extra. Plus I think it goes really well with my fab spaceman image! The image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I tried to go with brighter colours aganist the darker background.

Pop by the My Time to Craft blog to see how the fab DT used the theme this week!

I have a new toy.....

.....its not for card making, but since I get a lot of lovely positive comments about my baking I thought you might like to see it anyway! I have got my sticky mitts on a Lakeland 12 cup mini sandwich tin....which means I should be able to make perfect mini victoria sponges, mini cheesecakes and other cute delights! I say should because my first attempt has been a little dodgy.....

 

Here I have a mini victoria sponge cake and come cute little coffee cakes!

 
 The wonky tops are due to me rushing (to use the tin!) and not letting my butter come to room tempreture before baking - silly me! However, the tin itself is fab...its got these little removable bottoms to help get the cakes out of the pan and its lovely and heavy (not sure why that makes it good, but it does!!). I'd highly recommend getting on if you are into your baking!

Anyway, enough about my baking....I have also made a card for you today!!

 

 

This little cutie is a Bugaboo image which I have had for ages, but I love...he also makes me smile! I've coloured him with my Promarkers and added a little sparkle with my Stickles. As this is a masculine card I have gone with blue plain and patterned papers. I've added a Birthday sentiment created on my computer.

 

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