Dragon!

Hi! 

Hope everyone is having a better weekend than me...been the doctors this morning and I have broncitis and a throat infection...feel like a big pile of plop!!

Whilst I am sitting here, thought I would show you a birthday card I made this week.  I following the fabulous tutorial over at Top Tip Tuesday, where our Magical, Mystical and Fantasy challenge is still running for a few days.

 ***oOoooOOooooh, you know, as I was looking at challenges to put my card in, I came across someone who had basically taken an idea of one of my valentines cards and COPIED it!!  WTF is that all about?  Absolutely infuriates me.  I wouldn't mind if she had said where she got her idea from but to just COPY??  HIDEOUS.  I know she has seen my card as she regularly enters my challenge blog.  grrrrr.***




 I have had these papers and this 3D shaker dragon embellishment for years!!  Thought it was about time to use them!!

I would also like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Tuesday Taggers - Anything with Accetate -the shaker has accetate on the front

In the jungle...the mighty jungle....!

Hello everyone

I hope you have had a nice weekend?  Don't know about you, but mine always goes very fast - think its definately to do with the fact the the weekend is Friday & Saturday here, back to work on a Sunday...grrr!!

This card was for a friends son who was turning two and loves jungle animals - how cute are these animals?  I absolutely love them!

I love making these box envelopes as well - so easy but look fab and don't squish your card like normal ones.  I am going to be showing you how to make them in a few weeks on Top Tip Tuesday.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Cupcake Craft challnge #133 - Up in the air with optional Green - the name on the card I have made to look like balloons and background is green!

Roar!!

Hi everyone!

Well can you believe it - the sandstorm is STILL going on here - its terrible.  You go outside and get a mouthful of sand...hideous!!  However, its given me some great time to get crafting!

This is a card that I had 15 mins to knock up for my son to take to a party that I had forgotten about...I always like to put the childs name on a card, as I feel it makes it more special....especially when its an unusual name like this one!!




I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Very Easy Card



Morning all

So, I have to hold my hands up to being completely pants with my New Years resolution of posting a new card every other day...in my defense, I've had a cold/tummy bug you name it, I've had it and haven't crafted for chuffin' ages!!

I will do better, I promise!

Anyway, today I want to show you a really really simple card I have made with a handmade flower on it that I have made into a brooch so that my friend can wear it!






Recipe: ribbon from gift, 12x12 paper from stash, Making Memories chipboard pieces, button from stash.

I have had these chipboard pieces for years, and they are never the right colour so I turned them over and coloured them myself and added the stitching detail.  The ribbon flower is my favourite thing to make...so easy but looks so amazing.  I shall be doing a tutorial on this in the future on my challenge blog Top Tip Tuesday.

I would also like to enter this into the following challenges:

CRAFT Challenge #85 - Moving Components - the brooch moves and comes off the card!!
4 Crafty Chicks - Show us some metal - the metal pin on the back of the brooch
Dutch Date #95 - All Stitched Up - real stitching on the ribbon, and faux stitching on chipboard and button

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy 10.10.10th!!


Good morning everyone!

How are you doing today, on the 10/10/10?  What a fabulous date!!  

Now, from this day on, I am going to try and get a card on this blog either every day or every other day.  I have decided to do my first stall in Dubai.  Never done one before and there is one available on the 12th November...aaaah!!  Bit nervous and don't have any stock whatsoever so its going to be a very busy month!

This is the card I made for my very glamours Greek friend, Natassa.  She turned 40 and doesn't look a day over 25!!  She loves simplicity and gold...so voila!!  



I made all the swirls on my hardly used Cricut Expression and then just stuck them all over the card.  I also cut a bit out through the middle so that the swirls are keeping the card together, if you see what I mean!!

I would also like to enter this card into the following challenges:
