Love is in the little things .......
Hi there !!!! This week over at C4E the challenge is to follow the sketch below !! We are sponsored this week by Ladybird Crafts Ink !!!!
I used a LOTV image and sentiment for this card. I actually made it straight after my Uncles card hence the colour combo !!! I was just so in the groove with the colours and paper !!! The flowers are the circles on the sketch ........ added to them is a Mariannes die cut heart and Dohickey tag !!! I inked up all the edges of the flowers and tag to go with the colour scheme. Hehe !!! I had everything out of the cupboards looking for my doilies tho !!! What a mess I made !!! Still its all put away now !!
My cousin has an anniversary in Jan so I reckon this will do for that occasion !!! Ooh I love being ahead !!! It wont last for long tho when the baby is here !!! hehe !!!
Have a great weekend everyone !!!
Oh boy !!! I didn't read this challenge right and made a card first !!! Thankfully I read it correctly in time !!! The challenge this week atC4E is to make a Christmas Decoration, no cards !!! Mmm ........ I had to think !!!
Anyway I made a tree dec, a beaded snowflake, added a metal snowflake at the bottom and used silver ribbon to hang it with !!!

This week at C4E we have a embellishment bingo recipe for you. Choose 3 squares in a row and include all 3 embellishments on your project. You may choose a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row. For example : snowflake feather and flower.

Not sure who this is for, my other half asked if it was for our baby !!! Dur .......... We have a few babies due in the family so one is bound to be a girl !!! hehe !!

Green and lilac are also on this image !!! The papers are from Nitwits the possibilities collection.

Well its mischievous night tonight ............ I know some of you are going to say what's that ??? The night before bonfire night the kids go out and play pranks on folk ........... Its not supposed to be horrid to folk but just silly !! I remember my Grandad always took the garden gate off that night as otherwise it ended up halfway down the street the next day !!!

Hi there !!! Wow another week has gone by ........... where did it go !!! This week at Crafts 4 Eternity the challenge is to use one metal embelishment on your card. I made this anniversary card for family in the USA its not till early next year but I figured I had better get ahead as I will be a bit busy with baby then !!!!
Mmm ....... well I decided to make a smaller card than normal, this is a 6" card and I fancied a changed from the norm so decided upon an easel card ......... The papers are from Nitwits and the image is a House Mouse stamp called Tails of Love. I just love this image !!! I coloured it in using water colour pencils as I think these work great for the mice !!! The hearts are cut using the Marianne die set of hearts !! Me likes these ......... I did however refrain from sparkly bling and used the subtle pearls instead !!! I'm afraid my metal embelly isn't very unusual I didn't have much to hand and am so busy looking after Gran. (That's my excuse and I am sticking to it !!! hehe !!)
I have entered this into the following challenge:
Forever friends - anything goes
Well hope you have a great weekend and happy crafting !
Well this week at Crafts 4 Eternity the challenge is Purple and orange ............. That just screamed Halloween to me so I tried to stay away from that and do a general card in those colours .......
A quick post today from me, sorry Its hectic at the moment here !!! I used K&K flowers with butterflies I got from The Range. I made the doily using a Martha Stewart round the page punch and the image is from LOTV all glittered up of course !!!!!
Come join in the fun and show us your creations !!
The image I used is an image from Karens Doodles, the skater !! I love this !!! Of course I had to colour her pink with my promarkers and glittered up her skirt, laces, collar, headband and gloves !!! I am just so in love with the Marianne stars I had to use them again !!! I used a wide piece of ribbon going across the card with a thinner one wrapping around it like a parcel ish .....
I have just the little girl in mind for this card for Xmas !!! Ooh my Christmas cards are getting to be a nice pile now !!!!
Gran made it through her operation !!! Yeah !!!! Amazing ........... I told her last night we had better start planning her 100th party then !!! Seems as tho nothing is going to stop her !!! So now its onto the next phase and her recovery which I know will be hard work for us all !!
Well better get baking now as I am having a 40th birthday bash this weekend !!! Mmm I drew the short straw and am doing the cooking for myself !!!! ????????????
Well this card sure didn't turn out to be what I set out to make !!!! I wanted to make card in the shape of a splash with the girl in the middle and on my cricut I have the words Splish Splash ............ However things are just so hectic here I couldn't get my brain to focus so I used a design I have used before sorry !!! This week at Crafts 4 Eternity the challenge is anything goes !!! This week we are sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs and the prize is 4 digi images !!! Come join in the fun !!
I made the card base using a Marianne die and the image is a Sassy Studio one !! Coloured using promarkers and inked around the edges.
Well Gran didn't get her op Tuesday as she has a chest infection !!! So we are awaiting her still going down to theatre !! Bless her.
Well Autumn sure feels like its here !!! The Lime trees down our road have been loosing leaves for weeks now !! The weather sure isn't warm any more either !!! I am tying my hand behind my back so I don't reach for the heating switch !!!!
My card is a House Mouse image with the rabbit eating the autumn apples. I coloured the image using water colour pencils, somehow I find I can work with these on these stamps so much easier than promakers !!! I downloaded the paper free from computerscrapbook.com It is from the Fall frolic collection. There are so many lovely papers there !!! The idea with the gems was to look like falling leaves across the page .......... hope it works !!! And of course the punch I used was a Martha Stewart one !!! So as I am trying to not reach for the bling stuff and flowers ........... no glitter, not a Xmas card and bling ......... mmm I guess I failed on the bling as the leaves are gems but no flowers this time !!!! hehe !!! The next card will be a Xmas one tho ................
Over at Crafts 4 Eternity this week our challenge is to create Autumn inspired projects !!! This week we are sponsored by the lovely Janet at Pink Gem Designs and the prize is a choice of 4 digis! Come and join in the fun !!!

Hi there. The challenge this week at Crafts 4 Eternity is to have at least one of the following on your card Leaves, a Bird/birds or Glitter !!!
Last weekend at Harrogate I got my sticky hands on one of the new lili of the valley designs. Perfect for this challenge I thought, the boy and girl are hanging up bird feeders for the robins !!! Plus there are leaves on it from the tree !!! So I glittered it up and then went in search of a paper to go with it ............ I got my paper from the Papermania Christmas Past Cd, what a great match me thought, robins and leaves all over it !!!
I know .......... another Xmas card !! Well I am trying very hard to have all my cards ready way in advance as my bundle of joy is due to arrive just before Christmas so I really need to prepared in some way !!!

The challenge this week over at Crafts 4 Eternity is a Colour Recipe. Blue and cream or white using this image as inspiration !!!
Our sponsor this week is Stamping Dragon. I used Floral Frame one on my card, extending the tabs on the digi stamp across my card using ribbon ! I layered up the frame to give dimension and effect for the flowers which I glittered up with Stickles. I also used the Floral heart stamp to make backing paper with which you can see between the ribbons ! I just love butterflies so I had to add some of those to go with the paper and of course bling !!!!
I really enjoyed making this card ! It got me some peace and quiet while I did it (I think I took longer over it just to escape the bedlam in the house !!! hehe !!) Hope you like it too.
