Cupcake Crafts Challenge 40 – Donna’s Sketch

Fabulous DT member Donna (Donna’s Doodles) has created this gorgeous sketch for our challenge this week over at Cupcake Crafts. It’s such an easy one to follow so have a look over on the blog for the DT’s take on it. There are some beautiful creations as always and a real variety of ideas.

This is my interpretation of Donna’s sketch. I have used Stampin Up! papers, card and the stamps are from the Forest Friends set – sooo cute.

Thanks for looking. Have a great day.
Hugs,

I’m exhausted!

No card to share today I’m afraid. It has been a busy weekend all in all. Today my daughter Olivia made her first holy communion and my youngest Pippa got christened!! It was a gorgeous day weather wise which was a great relief to us all because the kids could all play around the garden!! I wore a pair of shoes I only ever get out for such occasions and as predicted my feet are now throbbing! They’ll now go back in the bottom of the wardrobe for another year!

Oh, I am excited to say I made the top 5 over at Stamp With Us this week so I have a shiny new flashing thing to put on my sidebar – yay!!

Off to rub my own feet…

New Pink Petticoat digi stamps.

Couldn’t resist these little beauties when I saw them. This is from the latest set of digi stamps from Pink Petticoat. This is my favourite one – I love toadstools. I have coloured it with promarkers (Poppy, pastel blue, apple, gold) and added a touch of me favourite glamour dust here and there (and everywhere)! The papers are Stampin Up! (Summer Picnic) and I have stamped and white embossed the sentiment. I never seem to make “New Home” cards but do often find myself needing one. Might knock up a wee batch of these ( or slight variations of them – can’t seem to make the exact same card twice!) so I have one the next time I need one.

Right, it’s past my bed time – I am trying to be good and get to bed before midnight – I have approximatley 3 minutes left!

Night, night.
