I used a Martha Stewart punch for the butterfly's, and 3 lots of sparkly gems for the butterfly's body, the sentiment is also in 3 lines! lol.

My Mums Craft Shop DT - Weddings or Anniversarys

Love is in the air over at My Mums Craft Shop this week, as the theme is:

WEDDINGS/ANNIVERSARYS

I have made an anniversary card, albeit I don't own a wedding/anniversary sentiment stamp!  Might have to do something about that! lol  So I figured a Love You sentiment was the next best thing.

To make this card I used die-namics rolled flower die cut out lots of pinks and purples, and rolled them up adding sparkly gems to the middles.  The sentiment is from a doodlebug stamp set.

I will be back later today to link it to some challenges.

My Mums Craft Shop - DT - Kraft it

SORRY BLOGGER WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ADD A PIC - I WILL KEEP TRYING

Anyway onto this weeks challenge at My Mums Craft Shop, the theme is:

KRAFT IT

We would love to see your creations using Kraft stock.

Here is what I came up with.

My Mums Craft Shop - DT Christmas in August

Thinking about Christmas already seems so wrong but it is August already so before we know it the cold wet months will be upon us, they are already wet after all! lol

Over at My Mums Craft Shop challenge this week the theme is:

CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST

unlike lots of you organised ladies this is my first Christmas card of the year!  I might make a few of these as I quite enjoyed it, and I am quite pleased with the result which is not like me at all! lol

I used 2 stamps from my stash, coloured the baballs with copics and added 2 layers of diamond glaze, mounted the top layer using 3d foam pads - and that's it!

Thanks for stopping by, I will be back later to link it to some challenges. x

My Mum's Craft Shop - DT - Ice cream colours

Where are the days going, my lil man is now 3 weeks old, it feels like he has always been here!

Hope you have enjoyed the bit of lovely sunshine that we had last week, it was so lovely to see it, it makes everyone so happy.  The theme of this weeks challenge at My Mum's Craft Shop is very apt given the weather, as it it:

ICE CREAM COLOURS

Yum, now which ones to choose?!  I went with my fave Mr Whippy, and a bit of raspberry sauce, I would normally have a flake in it turning it into a good old 99.  But not for this challenge! lol

Well in making this card I broke my paper chomper! as you can probably tell by the dodgy angle on the rounded corner!  So no improvising again! I need to raid someones fishing stash for some super super glue and hope I can fix it. 

To make this card I used a penny Black sentiment stamp, stamped in silver versa colour ink and embossed with clear powder.  I used a memory box die on the white card and a Die-Namics butterfly die, the sparkly gems are from my stash.

I will be back later to enter some challenges.

My Mum's Craft Shop - DT _ Photo Insperation

We have a great theme over at MMCS this week, a fab photo to be precise, it fun, bright and colourful, and we would love to see your interpretation of it.......

The stamp is a Penny Black cling called Dreamy and it is already a new fave among my Penny Black collection.

Please excuse my lack/slack blogging I am in and out of hospital so much at the mo I don't know if I am coming or going.  What I do know is the car could drive itself! lol and I should just buy a parking space at the hospital as it would probably cost considerably less! : S Oh well not long to go now.
