Anyone For Anya GDT

I cant believe the second week as GDT over at Anyone For Anya has rolled round already :( Oh well, here is my card, the colours are not quite what they look here IRL - rubbish winter dark days - roll on the summer.

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to Dawny P for having me on the GDT - I was so chuffed to be asked and have had a great time. I will be back playing as normal next weekend. x

Stamp with us

Think I may be a tad too many mins late for this weeks challenge - but never mind, thought I would still enter it anyway! Today has been one of those days where I should not have made any plans! Finally got in just before midnight and Ive not even been to the pub and its a Saturday night! lol

Anyway this card is for Stamp with Us challenge - as I have a newly found love of Stampin Up things I thought it would be rude not to enter.

This weeks theme was 1 stamp, 2 papers, 3 brads. I have used old olive papers ink and card.

Triple Challenge

Here is a card I put together yesterday for 3 challenges.

The sketch is over at Papertake Weekly.

Daring Cardmakers - "The First Letter" They would like you to put things on your card which begin with the first letter of your name. My name is Sally - so I have used Sparkly gems, Sparkly glitter, Stars, Snowflakes, Shoes and a square card (not sure that really counts lol).

A Spoonful Of Sugar - To make something for a baby's first Christmas or a pre schooler.

Hope your Monday has been a good one. x

Anyone For Anya GDT

I can finally share my up most chuffed ness (quality English lol) I was on my honeymoon in Mexico when I found out I had won a spot as a GDT member on the Anyone For Anya GDT - today is my first week. I am so excited I know its daft but hay ho! :)

Here is my card - this weeks theme is:

MAKE A FAKE

anything fake, or faux if you are posh, on your cards this week. You could use a border punch to create fake lace, or do a bit of faux stitching or faux flowers.

I used my doily punch for faux lace, a flower punch and some sparkly gems!

its weird making a card for a challenge and not entering it! lol.

Hope your all having a lovely weekend, I'm off to my bezzies Virgin Vie party later, which will be lovely, but in good old Sunday style have just watched a bit of QVC whilst channel hopping and Bobbi Brown was on - I love Bobbi Brown, I tried it earlier this year and have never looked back, I wore it for my wedding and it felt amazing. Needless to say I just parted with a few pennies! Oh well - looking forward to the postie arriving. x

Hoping its not a wet, windy rainy day where you are. x

Quick and cute

............... is this weeks theme over at My Time To Craft. Which I thought was great, so after having a little thinky, I got out my new cuttlebug snowflake die, and started cutting snowflakes out of glitter card (lovely glittery sparkle, I got covered! lol).
I loved making these small cards, these ones remind me of when I was at school many moons ago lol, and it was cool to give out tiny Christmas cards.

All that aside Im so proud of me getting some Christmas cards done already, I might just make a few more like these. I think they will look quite nice twinkling away in the dark Christmas nights to the glow of the fire! - We put the fire on for the first time last nigh as it was freezing, I'm looking forward to the summer again already, lol.

The team over at My Time To Craft is also having a DT call if your interested pop on over.

To make these cards I used:
Cuttlebug snowflake die, plain card stock, nestabilities, doodlebug stamp 'Let it snow', glitter card, papermania brads, sparkly gems.

Totally Gorjuss

There is a new challenge just started called Totally Gorjuss which has been made for everyone to showcase their beautiful Gorjuss gorgeous creations. The first challenge is running now, I just had to play along, the theme is:
PINK
So here is my card. Apologies for the dodgy pic - these nights are to dark to early now.

To make this card I used:
Image: Gorjuss Girl from Funky Kits.
Medium: Pro Markers.
Sentiment: Craft Work Cards.
Other: Pretty paper and ribbon from stash, bazill and Mather Stewart punch.

A card at last

Hello, hope you are all well, Ive had a nasty virus this week, so much so, the doctors tested for all sorts of things which just made me think of all me ailments even more - I don't go to the doctors unless I'm climbing the walls - have a daft phobia of needles! lol. Since I was properly ill last year its just been one thing after another - so I'm determined once this has gone, that is that - no more poorlieness.

Anyway - I have at last a card, hoping the awol mojo returns asap. lol

This card is for this weeks Sketch & Stash challenge, which is a theme, and also for ABC Challenge which is currently at F for Flying.

I love this Penny Black image its so cute, I coloured it with my ink spots which I had to dust off - I forgot how much I love them, they are so easy to use :)

Oh before I forget Kipling is on QVC, was naughty and brought a bag lol.......

To make this card I used:
Image: Penny Black.
Papers: Pink Petticoat.
Medium: Ink Spots.
Other: Bazill, Nestabilities, Prima Flowers, Sparkly Gems from my stash.

?T@riple Challenge

Nothing like getting a card in for a competition in the 11Th hour! I have been trying to get this one done all week - life has kept getting in the way, how rude lol..... This is my entry to this weeks Anyone For Anya challenge, which was a great sketch by Dawny P. I enjoyed this one.

I am also entering this into The Pink Elephant challenge, where the theme is dots and tags. It is also going into PaperPlay Challenge where the theme is Pale & interesting. :)

Purple tartan it up...

Here she is again Miss Anya, I do love her. Anyway here is a card which is going into this weeks Daring Cardmakers Challenge where the theme is "tartan it up". Also over at One Stop the theme is Die Cuts.

I feel like my feet have not touched the ground, life is whizzing by, but hope to be back again later, I went to the big craft fair at Exeter on Sunday with the girls, so I have some yummy new stash, and 'he' or should I say hubby (still feels weird saying that) is away with work tonight - so I can be as messy as I like, and the dog can supervise!
