Cupcake Crafts Challenge #44 – Father’s day (more than a card).

Ok, so I know I never read the brief properly and yes, this IS just a card!! I was so pleased with myself for getting it finished but when I went to upload it into the DT folder I realised what I had done!! Oh well, that’ll teach me! I have used a digi stamp from Digi Stamp Boutiqie. I’ve printed him a few times and then layered him up for a bit of dimension. He’s coloured with promarkers and the sentiment is made with some good, old-fashioned peel off letters!

The other DT members have actually managed to learn to read properly and made some amazing creations so pop over to Cupcake Crafts for a look. We also have a fabulous prize this week which is a $40 voucher for Peachy Keen Stamps.

Right, it’s my second youngest’s 5th birthday today (Happy Birthday Sophie) and I have a wee bit to do for her little birthday tea later. It’s not her party till next week so we’re just having a little family thing today. Also, my SiL has been in labour since Saturday so we’re also all on pins waiting for some good news there too.

Hopefully be back later with the result!!!

Hugs,

Charisma Cards Guest DT – Something Yummy!

As I said the other day, I have been picked to be a GDT over at the fabby Charisma Cards challenge blog and the first of my two challenges is “Something Yummy”! I Love this gorgeous Pink Gem stamp and have used my Dahlia nesties to make the card base. The patterned paper is from the Sweet Stack by DCWV and the ribbons from Raspberry Ribbons. She is coloured with promarkers and the ice-cream is all glittery but you can’t really tell!! The other DT members have done some gorgeously yummy creations so pop on over for a wee look. There is also a great prize from The Cutting Cafe.

Ok, must be off, have a busy afternoon ahead of me and a mountain of HW to do!

Hugs,

A Spoonful of Sugar #55 – Butterflies

Afternoon all, just a quickie from me – house looks like a tsunami just hit! I tried to schedule this post for this morning but somehow managed to delete everything I had written – will get the hang of it eventually!

Over at A Spoonful Of Sugar this week we wanna see BUTTERFLIES!! Yes, it’s new challenge time and what a lovley challenge it is too. We have a great prize donated by Nutcrafters so pop over and have a look. The cards done by the other DT members are stunning but I have to say I’m not all that happy with mine :0( this week. If I had had the time I would have done another one but hey-ho – you win some you lose some!! All the elements came from a K&Co kit I bought from QVC when I first began crafting about 5 years ago. I have bearly used it as most of it is way too flowery and chintzy for my style. I will go and stand in the corner now and repeat the phrase “Must do better” over and over whilst hitting my head with a plastic ruler!!!
