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!!

Don't forget to pop by all the blogs to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created this week!

All White!

Hello there!

Hope you're well. Today is Saturday and so we have another challenge over at Sweet Stampin....and if I'm honest I found this challenge REALLY difficult!! The theme this week is "white on white"......so no colour please!

Making this card made me realise how much I enjoy using colour on my cards.....I really struggled to create a card that I liked....

I used a pretty sparkly vellum for the background and added a white punched border across the bottom, adding three punched flowers. I stamped my little sheep on white card, and added some grey faux stitching around the border. Finally I printed my sentiment on the computer.

I really hope this post reads ok.....I'm writing it on Friday evening....I've got Lorna and Becca around for a girlie evening.....and to be honest I'm a little distracted! There may have been lots of food eaten and may have been some bubbles drunk!!! So if this doesn't make sense I'm sorry!!

Thanks for popping by....please pop by the Sweet Stampin DT blogs to see some more white on white cards.

Lots of new!

Evening! Look at me...three cards in three days!

I'm really enjoying having some free time in the evnings again! I loved making all my Christmas pressies.....but it really did take up a lot of time! This evening I've been for a run (yes I've started running again), done some Pippa Middleton pert bottom exercises (yes I want her bum!!) and made this cute card all before 8:30pm!

Isn't he a sweetie?? This card has a couple of new things on it....the cute stamp for a start....and there is some paper piercing on there (as a border on the dark blue paper). I've never paper pierced before...or at least if I have I don't remember it!! I've made this card for several different challenges:

Allsorts - paper piercing

Cupcake Craft Challenge - something new (either the stamp or the paper piercing!!)

Sir Stampalot - monochromatic

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"!

Feeling a little bit dotty!!

Hello Campers! Happy Saturday!

Well my first week back at work has been a complete nightmare....I'm sooo glad that its the weekend!! Not only do I get two days away from my desk, but we also have a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin! This week we are sponsored by the fabulous Stamp Fairy.....and I was really lucky to be given the cutest digi image to play with...just wait until you see her!!

Our challenge this week is dots and spots....so what are you waiting for...raid your paper stash for all the dotty paper you can find!!

Isn't Betsy a cutie pie?? I'm really pleased with this card....I love dotty paper (maybe a reflection on my current state of mind!!) and I decided to use one of my favourite colour combos too!! My friend Becca would love this little card, but its not her Birthday until June.....maybe I'll have to make her a different one instead!!

Don't forget to pop by my fellow DT member's blogs to see some more gorgeous dotty cards!
