Brrr....It's cold outside!

Hello there!

Happy Hump Day - I do love Wednesdays....the weekend is in sight again!

I'm here today with a new challenge from Christmas at Sweet Stampin......this month we'd like to see your Christmas cards featuring the theme "it's cold outside". So many possibilities with this theme!

I found a super cute new image called "wrong hats" which is a Lilyboo image at Cuddly Buddly......

See....I told you it's a cute image!

To go with my cold outside theme I picked some icy blue backing papers. My little penguins are coloured with my Promarkers and I have added a little bit of sparkle to their hats with my Promarkers.

For more inspiration pop by the Christmas at Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at the fab DT cards that have been created this week. While there you can also read about our fab sponsor this month.....

Frame It!

Hello there!

Happy Saturday! I hope you've had a lovely week.

This week I am back with a new challenge from My Time To Craft - the title of this week's challenge is "Frame It!" and we'd like to see your images framed in some way.

My card was created for a friend who asked me to create a bespoke birthday card for one of her friend's who likes budgies.....

Hee, hee! I found this fab image after scouring the Internet for budgie images....I love the fact that hes a little comical! I have coloured him with my Promarkers using a photo of a real budgie as a guide. I have framed my image with a light blue border, punctuated with that lovely bright blue stripe. I have also added small faux stitches as a border to the image (if you peer really closely you'll see them!).

Cats and Dogs!

Hello there,

Me again! This time I am back with a fab new challenge from My Time to Craft!

This week we'd love to see your projects featuring cats, dogs or maybe a combination of both! If you've popped by my blog before you may well recognise my image.....

I love this stamp...I think those cats are so cute, I always imagine them singing altogether!

My card has been coloured with my Promarkers, and I've gone with a green and brown colour combo.

I have two little cats myself....they will be a year old in April and we have owned them since last summer. If you haven't met them before, this is Steve (the grey one) and Tinker....

To be honest they are much bigger now (I'm such a sucker for kitten photos!), but they are still just as cute!

Lets get cute!

Hello there!

Happy Saturday! I hope you are keeping well and have had a lovely week.

Last weekend I went to an afternoon tea masterclass at One Aldwych hotel in London....it was such a good experience! We got to indulge in a lovely breakfast and an afternoon tea, plus we spent several hours in the hotel's kitchens with Head Chef Dominic Teague. Dominic showed us how to make several different afternoon tea treats and we got to pipe and decorate macaroons and eclairs. Read all about our fab morning on our afternoon tea blog.....but I thought I'd share with you some of the treats I piped....

I am so proud of those macaroons!

Anyway, enough afternoon tea chat...I'm here today with the fab new challenge from Sweet Stampin! This week we have a lovely theme for you.....we want to see your CUTE creations!

I decided to explore the Cuddly Buddly website for an image for this challenge. Cuddly Buddly is our monthly sponsor, offering our monthly winner a fab £10 voucher to spend.....and I know you'll spend it really easily!

Here is my card.....

Isn't he wonderful? The image and the sentiment are actually two different images from Cuddly Buddly that I have printed, coloured and stuck together. The sentiment is stuck flat to the card, and the teddy bear is stuck on with 3D sticky pads. Both the sentiment and image are coloured with my Promarkers.

I then decided to go with a blue background.....full of polka dots and three cute buttons!

Something New

Hello there!

Happy Saturday! I hope you have had a fab week!

I'm really excited this weekend....as you are reading this (if its still Saturday!) I am at One Aldwych with Lorna, at their afternoon tea Masterclass! We get to meet Chef Dominic and learn the secrets of a professional afternoon tea! Read all about it next week on our afternoon tea blog!

I'm back today with a new challenge from My Time to Craft and this week we'd like to see you feature something new on your card.....now this can be a baby, a home or maybe a job. We don't want to see new stash though...it has to be a celebration!

I recently was asked to make some thank you cards after someone had their baby and wanted to thank their friends and family for the gifts and cards they sent. I found this super cute baby digi image and I thought it would be perfect for this challenge too....

What a cutie pie!

I've coloured my image with my Promarkers. I then decided to go with a card that wasn't gender specific....so I went with yellow and this cute star backing paper. Finally I added my sentiment.
