Especially for You


You can always tell when my darling hubby is away, cos when he's away I get to play! So here is my third card from last nights efforts. Ahh, last night, full control of the remote (on QVC craft day, of course), glass of red, creme egg, three cards made and a long bubble bath, bliss(....I miss him really).

This is for two challenges....

Cute Daisy May....Flowers.

Sunday Sketch and Stamp....Sketch.

I have used my Liddie image from the Lil Poppets range at the DigiStamp Boutique. I used Copics to colour and the papers are from a Daisy and Dandelion pad.

Just Swinging By

My second card tonight is for two challenges...

Penny Black Saturday...Pink, Green and Yellow.

Pink Elephant....Sketch.

I'm not too sure about those big flowers but they are well and truly stuck down now! I sat them on I took them off, I sat them on again....you get the picture. My creative advisor (DH) is away to London on business until later tonight, but I can hear him say it now ' you know those big flowers are a mistake, don't you?'




Easter Tweetings

I am happily crafting away my evenings using lots of bright sunny colours for Spring and Easter cards and it is a blizzard outside. It hasn't stopped all day and apparently is with us until the weekend!

Anyways, here is my card for this weeks Willow Sketchie, I'm at the coo's tail as usual and hoping that I can get this in just under the wire.

I have used the Willow image I won in the challenge a couple of weeks back, it is pre-coloured so nice and easy does it for this one.

Hand Made with Love....


.....that's what the little heart charm says on today's card. Now I love my Copics but these Lili of the Valley stamps just cry out to be water coloured (well, that's what I think anyway). So, on a restful sunday morning I was happy to oblige.

This fits 2 challenges...

Cute Card Thursday....metal mania.

Simon Says....3 embellies, 2 papers, 1 image.

Spring is just around the corner (we hope) and I for one can't wait. The challenge blogs have also turned to thoughts of spring and so this fits three...

A Spoon Full of Sugar....spring is in the air.

Shop till you Drop


Now let me think? What goodies are in Connie's bags? My guess is some smellies from Molton Brown, a box of Guylian chocolate seashells and a good bottle of red! What d'ya think?

Connie is available now from the DigiStamp Boutique and would be perfect for Mothers Day. I used Copics to colour and the paper is Sweet Nothings by Papermania. The sentiment stamp is from one of those little 99p sets 'Doodle me Pink'.

I am entering this into 2 challenges...

Sketch and Stash...my image is new and my papers had been neglected.

Dare U2 Digi...punches. I used my MS daisy punch.

Monster Wishes


What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster?

No! It's Freddie and Dino. Perfect for the little men in your life. Freddie and Dino are from the DigiStamp Boutique and coloured with Copics. The papers are Archaic by Basic Grey (don't they go perfectly?) and buttons and cord finish the whole thing off.

I am entering this card into Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Isabella says Happy Birthday


Here is my third card to share with you today. I have to say I am pleased with this one. But if you start off with such a cute image as Isabella then you are half way there!

The papers are Forever Friends Pink Parfait by Docrafts. I embossed the top half of white card with my daisy CB folder. I inked all round the edges with baby blue ink and stitched. Isabella from the DigiStamp Boutique has been coloured with copics and a ribbon, flowers and buttons finish the card nicely.

This fits four challenges....

Truly Scrumptious...thanks for a fabby sketch.

Crafty Catz...Buttons and Bows.

Allsorts...321...3 papers, 2 buttons and 1 ribbon.

C.R.A.F.T Challenge...Digi Colouring.


Beary Happy Birthday


This one is for sis-in-law number 2 (they both have birthdays within one week of each other). She loves and collects those little cherished teddies so this Lili of the Valley stamp fits perfectly. Once again I have used watercolours and to finish off the bear theme I attached a cute bear charm. The other charm behind it says 'made with love'.

I am entering this card into the PaperPlay challenge which this week is 'Birthday for Someone Special'.
