Happy 3rd Birthday Cute Card Thursday!

Happy Friday everyone!

I don't normally post on a Friday, but Joe went out for a bit this evening and I decided it was time for some cheeky crafting! I popped over to Cute Card Thursday's blog earlier to discover it's their third Birthday - thats a lot of fab challenges! To celebrate their Birthday the challenge this week is Birthday cards, with the added challenge of making it a card for a three year old! Here is my card:

The lovely layout for this card comes from the sketch challenge over at Stamp Fairy this week. I enjoyed using this sketch and decided to use my favourite Stamp Fairy character Kasi! I used lots of gorgeous pink backing paper, along with some lovely white flowers and lots of sparkly gems.

Take a peek at both of these blogs to see some gorgeous DT cards.

I'm off to Squires Kitchen's annual cake decorating, chocolate and sugarcraft exhibtion tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it. There are going to be lots of displays and demonstration and plenty of inspiration...watch this space for lots more yummy treats!

Thanks for popping by today,

Something a little bit different

Morning!

The challenge over at Stamp Fairy this week is one to get our creative juices running...the challenge is "anything but a card" and the DT have created some fab projects for inspiration.

After thinking for what felt like ages I decided to keep it simple and create a little bookmark.

I love this brown and pink spotty card, the pink spots have got glitter on to make it really girly. I've then added some pink card on top, which I have edged with little white "stitches" and three pink gems for a little sparkle. I've coloured and attached Kasi at the bottom.

Finally I put a hole in the top and threaded some pink ribbon, tied in a bow. I think this makes a really girly bookmark, which makes me smile whenever I look at it!

I've also decided to enter this in the "anything but square" challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenges this week.

Do pop over to both of these blogs this week to see the gorgeous DT creations.

Thanks for stopping by today, Wedgie xxx

Happy New Year!

Hello there, hope you're well today and looking forward to the new year! I'd like to thank all my followers and visiters for stopping by my blog in 2010, your support and kind comments are brilliant and really appreciated by me.

As its New Year's Eve I thought a celebration card would be perfect for my last card of 2010 and I've found three new challenge blogs (all with celebration as a theme this week) that I'm going to be following next year!

The inspiration for the shape of this card is from the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog where the DT member Domi has provided a brilliant champagne bottle template. I used an oblong card blank that I shaped myself before adding the green patterened backing paper and the gold top. I love this cute little mouse image and thought it was perfect on a party card! I've coloured him using pencils and added a little glimmer with my new cosmic shimmer kit. I'd also like to enter this in the Sweet Stampin Challenge and the Stamp Fairy Challenge. 

Pop by all these blogs to see the super DT creations!

I hope you all have a wonderful evening whatever you're up to!

Happy New Year and best wishes for 2011!
