Good afternoon crafty friends

How's your day been? We've had a chill out day today, had a little play in my craft room and the boys been playing with their DIY wood kit. It's another wet day here, fingers crossed the nice weather comes back soon.

I used some old papermania DPs, the sentiment stamp is from an old Kanban set.
I embellished with pearl flower and flowers from WOC. The lace and button were from my stash.
This adorable image is from milkcoffee, coloured with my promarkers and pencils.

Birthday cupcakes...

Good morning all.

Hope you are all well and for those who aren't so good, here's wishing you a speedy recovery.

The weather here the last few days has been terrible, thunder storms, downpours of rain then a little glimpse of the sun and doesn't look like it going to get much better today :-(
I hope we haven't seen the last of the hot summer days for this year.

For today's card I have used a milkcoffee image coloured with promarkers and pencils


Love the soft colours on this card.. I have used DPs from dovecraft piece of cake collection.
Embellished with three bits of card candy, I added pearls to the centre of them too.

Christmas in July

Good evening peeps,

Hope you are all well and have had a good start to the week.

I'm just popping by with a Christmas card I've made to enter into a few challenges


This cute image is Theodore from Bugaboo, I've coloured with promarkers and glitter
The DP is Dovecraft back to basics. I used two of last years Christmassy ribbons from Crafty Ribbons along a strip of red card. I then individually punched some Christmas trees to line on top of the panel. The circle sentiment is by LOTV and cut out using my nesti's.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges

That's all from me for this evening.
Back tomorrow with a girly make.

Male birthday


Good morning crafty friends, hope you've all had a good crafty weekend.

Sorry I've not been around much this weekend, I had the craft fair on Saturday, then went to the caravan until last night. 

The craft fair was a bit of a disappointment, I don't think it was advertised very well at all and hardly any signs of a craft fair happening outside the hall resulting in very very few people attending. I did make a few sales thankfully. Better luck next time.. 

Right for today's card I have used one of my fav LOTV teddy images,


I have coloured him with my promarkers. The papers and hot air balloon topper were in a set I won from Simon Says Stamp blog. I added ribbon and twine from my stash to finish.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges

Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a good week

Charming...

Good morning crafty Friends, I can't believe it's the weekend already.
The first week of the boys school hols sure has flown by.
Hope you have something nice planned for the weekend.

I'm doing my second craft fair today, will let you know how it goes later. 

Today's the start of another great challenge over at The Pink Gem Challenge Blog
The theme we have for you this week is an easy one, we want to see a charm on your creation somewhere. How easy is that, there are some really cute charms out there (I must order some more lol)

For my card I've used the adorable Amelia coloured with pencils


I decided on an easel card for this one, the DPs are from the Portobello Road range.
I used deep red cardstock to layer onto. 


I purchased a roll of some fantastic lace from a local warehouse a while ago, I have used it wrapped around a red cardstock panel on this card, I also used some gorgeous ribbon from my stash.
Embellished with flowers from WOC and die cut flowers finished with buttons, pearla and two tiny charms. The sentiment I printed from the computer.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges
(My fav fancy fold is an easel card, I like these the best as I think it's a great way to display the card more, it seems more than just a card with standing)

Better go and get ready, have a great weekend
