2 Cards, 4 Challenges

These are the cards for my other niece, and I took the opportunity to mix a few challenges in as well.

The first card I have made following the fab sketch over on Sketch Saturday & I am also including it in the Secret Crafter which is Bling and I have used some gorgeous pearl brads & glamour dust on bow & hairband.


The image is a gorgeous Miss Anya, the paper is from K&Co Berry Sweet, Poppicraft flowers with Papermania pearl brads, Sizzix swirl & decorative corners & Craftwork Cards oval sentiment.

This second card follows a great sketch over on Friday Sketchers & I am also including it in the Colour Create challenge which is the colours of the rainbow in the papers I have pink, blue, green, yellow & purple & I have used yellow & Orange in the hair. Sorry for rubish picture quality and I can blame Tasha for this image as she sent it to my daughter in a little pack & I loved her so much I had to purchase her.

The image is from the Greeting Farm, papers are K&Co berry sweet, Dovecraft ribbons and Papermania adhesive shimmer dots.

My little Pony

Well I have finally calmed down enough to make a card, so while hubby is at work and kids are somewhat engaged in other activites I am having a little crafty session. I made this card following the fab sketch over on the Stamp with fun challenge blog. I have used a gorgeous little Tilda image and sat her on her little pony (I have seen this on a couple of other blog and I thought it looked sweet).




The papers are K& Co sparkly sweet, bazzill swiss dots cardstock, Poppicraft flowers with Papermania pearl gems, Craftwork Cards oval sentiment & Scallop border punch out with MSDP.

I have decorated the inside but its quite simple so I havent taken a piccy.

Birthday Weekend

Hi everyone,

No card from me tonight, with Abbies birthday on Wed and mine on Fri, there has been no card making in this house. I would like to say a big thanks to some of my blogging buddies who sent me lovely cards and presents, they were much appreciated. I had some lovely crafty items from my family including 12 Sugar Nellies, so be prepared for a sugar overload on my blog. I finally got my much awaited MS punch from my dad and my lovely hubby has got me a few sets Nesties & a couple more MS punches (although i am still waiting for them to come). I also had a bit of money so I have had a little spend over at The Glitter Pot & Poppicrafts and I got myself some gorgeous K&Co paper pads and some of that Raffia lace from Hobbycrafts. I had some lovely none crafty stuff including jewellery, perfume, PJ's and a couple of new tops and some of my fave Soap & Glory products off the kids. My dad who's birthday is the same day as mine (I was his 18th present) treated us to a lovely meal in Fri night & we all went out to the family club we normally go to on Sat and saw a cracking band. Then today we took the kids over to Telford park for the day then came back and had a lovely family bike ride (again I am now struggling to sit!!!). Well I hope I havent bored you with my run down of my weekend, I will be posting some new cards very soon I have some new stuff that is just shouting out to be used.
