Hope you we all well and have not been effected by the storms the UK are having at the moment. We have been lucky so far, the winds haven't been too bad and the rain has stopped for now.. 

I'm a very happy crafter this morning. A delivery man has just knocked my door and handed me a very large parcel.. When I closed the door I ripped it open to see I had won the DCWV summer competition from Quick Cards made Easy. So I am now the proud owner of stacks of new DCWV paper pads. Can't wait to have a play with them heeheee... (I will be smiling all day now)

A card for MANDY

Hello everyone, I'm back again with my second card for the day..

This one had been especially made for Mandy...

As many of you will know the lovely Mandy has stepped down from Crafty Ribbons after running the challenge since it started. Mandy has some health issues at the moment and so the Crafty Ribbons DT have all made something to send her. You can see the rest of the creations on the Inpiration blog.

Mandy you gave me my first ever DT position and I'm so grateful for that first chance. You ran the CR and PGD teams brilliantly and I know we all miss you (even thou the lovely ladies that are running them now are doing a great job) it's just not the same without you.

Wishing you all the best and hopefully you will be back with us again soon.


I used a gorgeous image and sentiment from tiddlyinks. Coloured with my promarkers
DPs are Papermania. I used my memory box alphabets to cut out Mandy's name and added glitter
Ribbon of course is from Crafty Ribbons and the heart gem is from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Hoping to catch up with you all later

Hugs Kelly 


Mulled wine drinkers


Good Morning all

Today I'm joining Susan and Rachel from Crafty sentiments  to form the team Mulled Wine Drinkers.

For a little bit of fun all the Crafty Sentiment DT split into teams. Each team used one of the new stamps which we will be showing you over the next 5 days  on theInspirational Blog.  The image we were given to use was  Christmas rush. Then Each member of the team picked an element that we all needed to use on our creation.. As there are three members in our team we had to use 3 elements. 


Here is the card I made 


I coloured this fab image with my promarkers. The DPs are dove craft.. I embellished with flowers, berries, sequins, pearls, a fabric stocking topper, and glitter all from my stash. The gorgeous ribbon was from a local haberdashery .

I'm entering this card into the following challenges 

Please Pop by the inspirational blog to see my teamies creations and see it you can guess what 3 elements we used..

I will be back shortly with another special post for today..
