I had to make a birthday card for one of the little girls in my sons class who turned 4.  I thought I would put her name on it as you don't hear her name very often so I thought it would be nice...and she loved it!

LOL I suppose I now need to get on with making Christmas cards...haven't made any yet...!!!

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:

Whats on Your Workdesk Wednesday #69

Morning one and all!!

Can't believe that it is Wednesdayalready - so you know what that means? A stop over at the wonderful Julia's blog will let you nose into the wonderful messy world of us crafters!!

I have started to tidy my new craft room - well, there is all the final bits to do, but all the craft stuff I got when I was in the UK hasn't got a home yet LOL!


So this is the start of me tidying up...not very successful am I?  LOL - you can probably see the half eaten packet of choccie biccies on top of the red drawers!!  I have used the buttons and dew drops in the jars to cover the wires going up to the screen - much nicer to look at!

I have got some large silver circles from cakes that I don't know what to do with - they are like mirrors - any suggestions?

Also on the table is the stuff needed for my next tip at Top Tip Tuesday - there is a fabulous tip this week about recycling - why not go on over, leave us a tip and you could win any of the 3 prizes, including a Joanna Sheen voucher, and digis from Squigglefly and The Crafty Pad!

Right, suppose I should get upstairs and make a 40th birthday card for my friend - taking her for lunch today...nothing like leaving it until the last minute!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Thought I would share with you a card I made for my friend from her husband for their anniversary...I had literally 15 mins to make it!!  I thought the only way to do it was stickers...and I am quite happy with how it turned out.  (She liked it alot thankfully).


Recipe: Stickers that are years old, loads of bling, DYNAMO wording.

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

Allsorts Challenge #71 - Plain & Simple

Yep...another male card!

 Hiya!

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

This is another male card - this is what I have given my brother in law whose birthday is today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURENCE!!

I am always getting stuck with what to do with left over bits of paper that I always keep...so I thought rolling up the bits would hide the seam that I usually cover with ribbon on a womans card.  I think it turned out quite funky really!!


 Recipe: I think it is DCWV paper, DYNAMO sentiment, odd bits of paper.

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

Totally Papercrafts #34 - Happy Birthday
