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!

Elzybells Casing.................

Over at Elzybells the challenge is to find a card by Elizabeth or any DT member that you particularly like / inspires you and recreate it putting your own spin on it!

Well, I popped over to Michelle's blog, and found this card and recreated it, just changed the colour and some very very minor bits. I love Michelle's blog, I think her work is totally inspiring, her clean and simple style is right up my street.

I have had the image coloured for ages - so it was lovely to put it to use.

EBay Sale

Just a quick post, I have decided to part with some crafty bits which are not getting the attention they deserve. They are all looking for new good loving homes lol.

So far I have listed some nesties, Penny Black stamps, more will be added over the weekend.

Black, White + 1 other

Over at Pollycraft the challenge is Black, White & one other colour, does iridescent count as a colour???? Cos I've used it ha ha....... It does sparkle lots of pretty colours.

The papers are doodle bug, the image is pink petticoat, and of course good old glamour dust.

Papertake Weekly - Anya

This week over at Papertake Weekly they have a great sketch challenge, I'm sure I will be using this layout again as its nice and simple! I have used a gorgeous Anya image cut out with nesties, coloured with copics, mounted onto different shades of bazzil, one layered embossed with a cuttlebug die, and a craftwork card sentiment, and a good old little bit of sparkly bling.

Not sure why the days are racing away at the mo............ Time is flying by, but the good news is I cant wait for tomorrow - off to the big craft fair in Exeter with the girlie's :)
