Glitter Me Silly

Happy Tuesday everyone.  Here I am at long last with a new post.  We have recently moved our business from our home office into some lovely new high street premisies hence the lack of blogging time recently!  I am actually sitting at my desk at work doing this post as the phone has finally stopped ringing!! 
We have a new challenge over on our A Passion for Papertey blog today which is to create a baby project.  Spring is definitely in the air and little lambs are gamboling around the fields and my daffs have popped up in the garden, sigh!
Here’s the card I made this week:

Good day one and all.  I am feeling a little tired today as I talked myself silly with my two crafting chums Aimes and Taheerah yesterday and didn’t get home till after midnight.  We had a lovley girly meet up at the Trafford Centre in Manchester  – thanks for a great day girls (Aimes – I had Fluff on toast for lunch and I may have it for every meal for the next week!!!!) – you naughty temptress!

Right, onto the new challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey which is to create an invitation.  Interpret this as you will – could be to invite a pal over to lunch or a children’s party invitation.  It’s up to you.
For my card I went for more of a children’s theme using the cupcake from Everyday Classics and one of the banner stamps from Banner Bulider.

Right, I’d better get off to collect the children – I have them scattered all over the place at various friends houses!!!

Have a good day,

I know, not everybody’s favourite day of the week BUT if you’re a fan of Papertrey Ink as I am then we all now have a new reason to look forward to Monday.  There is a new challenge called Make It Mondays and each week one of the PTI DT will post a video showing that week’s technique.  This week there is a fab challenge using different sentiments from different sets in a particular theme.

Now, I don’t know if this was REALLY the point but I took it upon myself to get ALL my Christmas sets out and use at least one sentiment from each one.  Here’s what happened…

I satmped most of the sentiments in Tea Dye distress ink and the darker “Merry Christmas” in Vintage sepia.  I don’t know if you can make it out but I also stamped the large poinsettia from Year of Flowers: Poinsettia to give a subtle background detail.  Nothing like my usual style but I had fun – which IS the point isn’t it.

Thanks for dropping by.
Hugs,
