Cupcake Crafts Challenge 38 – Numbers.


Thank you to everyone who took up my 5 Embellishments challenge last week. I think it was a tad more difficult than I first though it would be – for me too. The cards you all made were fantastic and it was very difficult to pick a top 5. Glad I won’t have that job again!!

This weeks Cupcake Crafts challenge has been set by the lovley Claire and her choice is NUMBERS. The DT have once again come up with some gorgeous cards so please pop by the blog if you have a minute. The inspiraion for my card actually came to me whilst sat at my craft desk wondering what on earth to do. My DCWV Sweet Stack was just under my nose and so it popped into my head to make a Sweet 16 card. I have cut the letters and numbers out using the Storybook cricut cart and then put glamour dust on the pink layer. I make no apologies for it’s girlyness – I was in a pink mood!!

Feeling blue!

I just got my new nesties yesterday (at last – I think these were in high demand!!) so couldn’t wait to have a wee play. Since I did a pink haired Gorjuss girl I have wanted to do some other less conventional hair colours so thought I’d have a go at blue! I think she looks just as cute. The papers are SU! ( don’t seem to be using anything else these days!) and she’s coloured with promarkers. Since she is surrounded by glitter and gems I thought it would qualify for this weeks “Mirror Mirror” challenge over at Cute Card Thursday where you have to use something shiny. It don’t get much more shiny than glitter now does it?!

Stamp With Us and PTW.

This is the first chance I’ve had to get a card made for the Stamp With Us challenge which is a recipe this week – 2 patterned papers, 1 ribbon and 4 brads. I just never seemed to get the time latley so I am doubly chuffed to be able to enter this card for PTW too. Quite by accident, it meets the brief of Spots and Stripes!! The papers are Stampin Up!, the image is Stamping Bella and everything else is just my stash. It’s been there so long I don’t remember where on earth it came from!!
Hope you’re enjoying some sun in your part part of the world. My 9 year old son in his quest to find his DS charger has lost my car keys (it’s a long story) and so whilst he is up in the Lakes with Olivia and Dad (probably with said keys in his pocket) I am “trapped” at home with the other 3 children. Thankfully it’s sunny so they’re all happy as Larry playing in the garden and on their bikes etc. I was planning on taking them up to The Blue Planet tommorrow though as I think it’s meant to rain and it’s mostly indoors there. I don’t think I’ll survive if I can’t get out of here 2 days running!! The search will continue after I’ve had a cuppa to calm me down! Wish me luck….
