Birthday Bubbles!

Good Morning! Happy Saturday!

Hope you're well today. Well long time no see!! Life has taken over some what this week and I haven't made any cards or posted since last weekend! How terrible!!

Me and my friends celebrated Halloween last weekend with our Halloween themed crafternoon tea...it was so much fun! We had spooky music playing, ate spooky treats and made spooky felties! Later in the evening we watched spooky movies! It was such a fab Saturday....here is our table dressed and full of homemade tasty treats.....

 

As well as little ghost cakes, we had a dead-grass pie (my sister's spooky version of a key-lime pie) and these adrorable ghost biscuits.....

 

 

So its another Saturday and that means its time for a new challenge over at My Time to Craft...and I have to say that I really enjoyed making the card for this challenge! This week we have a little colour combo challenge for you...we'd like to see your pink and brown creations! I love this colour combo....I think its so pretty.

Here is my card....

 

I've teamed my plain brown backing paper with some pretty pink patttenerd papers and a cute mini doilly. I think this gives that card a bit of a shabby chic feel.

 

I've coloured my cute image using my Promarkers and I have added a little sparkle to the Birthday bubbles with my Stickles!

Spooky Greetings!

Hello there....me again!

This is my second post for today, if you are looking for my Sweet Stampin DT post please scroll down!

Sooooo......my posts today have been scheduled....this is mainly because I am spending today with my sister and some of my friends having a Halloween themed crafternoon tea! We are going to eat lots of spooky homemade treats and then we are going to make something (when I was writing this I still hadn't decided what craft to do....I hope I made up my mind quickly!!). I love these afternoons...they are always so much fun! Having a Halloween theme just makes it even better....pop back tomorrow to see photos of the day!!

This links in nicely with this week's challenge over at My Time to Craft where we'd like to see your Halloween creations!

 

I love this spiderweb paper and so do lots of you judging by the lovely comments you've been leaving me! I think it looks fab in the background of this card! I have topped the card with some purple and orange swirly papers...perfect for Halloween! I've also added some faux gold stitching to the purple paper. My sweet image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have added some sparkle to the dress and hat using my Stickles.

What's Cooking?

Hello there....welcome back to another fab Sweet Stampin challenge! I am soooo excited about this week's challenge...its right up my street!!

This week our theme is What's Cooking or Something to Eat. Now as most of you know I love baking nearly as much as crafting - I can easily spend a whole afternoon locked away in the kitchen creating sweet treats - and so this challenge is perfect for me!!

I've also gone a little retro for my card, using fab tin can backing paper, along with some gorgeous cherry patterened backing paper.....

I love this image and use it quite a lot....I also love the sentiment that goes with it! I've coloured my image with my Promarkers and I've added a little sparkle to the glass and pot using my Stickles. I've used plain blue backing paper to frame everything.

A week to go....

...Hello there...Happy Wednesday! So this time next week it'll be Halloween...and then before we know it, it'll be Christmas time! Wow this year has flown by!

This time of year also means its almost my bosses Birthday.... I am very lucky, as my boss is wonderful and so I always try and make her a fab present for her Birthday. This year I am appealing to her sweet tooth with iced butterfly biscuits and fab chocolate spoons that I've made using chocolate moulds and then iced with Viv's name and random squiggles! The mould is fantastic and so easy to use...anyone with some chocolate can make their own chocolate spoons!

 The mould comes from the brilliant "Baked by Me"....a website run by the lovely Iris, they sell all sorts from delicious cookie mixes to a brilliant range of chocolate moulds, and lots of lovely china. The prices are really reasonably and the customer service is awesome too!

 

Here are the pretty butterfly biscuits...

 

Right, enough sweet stuff...time for a card challenge!

 

I've gone for another spooky card today...this time using a fab free image from "The Enchanting Art of Heather Valentin"

 

 

I love this image...I'm not sure if its the cute hat, the cat (which I think I've somehow made a bit evil looking!!) or the huge pumpkin....but I love it! Thank you Heather!

 

I've gone with typical Halloween colours - black, purple, green and orange. Using a combination of plain backing papers and ribbon. My image has been coloured using my Promarkers and I created the purr-fect sentiment on my laptop!

 

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

 

Passion for Promarkers - Pets

Top Tip Tuesday - Halloween
