Challenge Card

Hey, long time no speak peeps, just been busy, busy, busy (no change there then!) A very quick post from me today, just wanted to share my card for the challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey and as usual I'm pretty late posting it.




All the products are PTI.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, despite the rain :(

'Me Time!

How excited am I! I've been blessed this week with an extra day off work because of the local elections (yay!!) Which means I've had two whole days to craft.....woohoo! (And believe me when I say I have....lol.) I made this card using that lovely 'sweet summer' SAB set (now retired) there are just soooo many ways you can use it and it's so sweet and delicate.



The colours are from the new 'in colours' and they all work so well together, the papers are a hostess gift which you can get for free if you hold a Stampin'Up! Workshop. I've coloured the stamps using the 'in colours' marker set which are such good value @£11.75 for a pack of five.

OK, back to the crafting before the school run is upon me, just working on some challenge cards and some thank you's for my customers which I will show you next time ;)

Have a good weekend,

Wedding Card!

Oh how appropriate....lol, couldn't think of a better day to post a wedding card for a challenge ;) How fab was the 'wedding', she looked absolutely stunning and so happy (bless.) And on that note I shall share with you my card for the challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey and you guessed the theme already....lol




The White card stock is from my stash, the pink & white ink is SU and everything else is PTI - the quote was a freebie from Nicole Heady to celebrate PTI's 4th anniversary ;)

Enjoy the lovely long weekend peeps :)

A Challenge card.

Oh how gorgeous is this weather? Just hope it lasts a bit longer until the end of August....lol Well, quick post from me tonight, feeling pretty tired and been quite busy in work too, so just wanted to share my card with you for the Simply Stampin' Challenge. This week they have quite a simple sketch to follow (not to taxing on the brain) and this is my take on it.



All the products are Stampin'Up! and the buttons were made using Bitty Buttons and Itty Bitty shapes Punch Pack with DSP.

Thanks for stopping by,

Happy Easter and Sunshine Too!!!

Hey, hope you're all having a fabulous day, sunshine and chocolate, what more could we ask for.....lol. Well both my boys are happy with their finds this morning, it has been known for Easter Bunny not to leave the exact right egg before today (whoops!)

Just thought I'd share this milk carton I made to house some chocolate yumminess for my nephew, he's nearly 16 by the way......lol still loves his chocolate though, especially the Lindt eggs!


The cardstock is all SU but the dies are Sizzix and the stamp is retired I'm afraid, which is a shame because it's such a fabulous stamp.

Anyways, enjoy the rest of your day :)

Mums Birthday!

Hello strangers, well at least I am anyway.....lol I think there is a time thief doing the rounds, where is it going I ask myself! Anyway, last week was my mums birthday, not that she was here mind, no, she was spoiling herself in New York doing a spot of shopping and she certainly did that (wink.) This is the card I made for her though, already for her return.


I've used those gorgeous papers, elegant soiree with the co-ordinating cardstock, baja breeze, soft suede and very vanilla and of course that daisy die has sneaked in again ;) I do love it! The new seam binding ribbon is just lush to use, just hope they bring some more colours in the new catalogue next October :) and the stamp I have used is a 'Dolly Mamas' they are so humerous, just love them.

Sorry for the quick post but it's getting a bit late now and no doubt my youngest will be up at the crack of dawn to see if the 'Easter Bunny' has been ;)

Have a lovely Easter Sunday and lets hope the sun comes out for the bank holiday!

Beautiful Weekend and a Teenager!

Well yesterday my baby No.1 turned 13! OMG, just can't believe where the years have disappeared to. I remember everything about his birth like it was yesterday and although the end result was a beautiful bundle which I totally adored and always will, the birth it's self has to be the worst thing I have ever been through. But yesterday we had a lovely day at splash world with our 2 boys and my nephew and then out for a Chinese in the evening with Nan & Grandad :)

So if that wasn't enough, the weather being so glorious today, we've ended this special weekend with a barbecue, no doubt it will rain tomorrow.....lol but hey, what an excuse to craft (wink!)

Anyway onto the cards, now I don't know about anyone else but I am guilty of making a card I like but never ever making it again. So this time I broke the habit of a life time and made 3 cards all the same but in different colour schemes.

Border punch is Martha Stewart and card candy (flower centres) is craftwork cards, everything else is Stampin'Up! and available to order from me.

Hope you like them and thanks for looking.

TTFN
