coloured with promarkers then decoupaged part of it.

I chose the colour pink as it's Breast Cancer Awareness month 

& I wanted to give you all a little reminder to check yourselves over.

City Gent

Good morning all!

I have a card to share with you today!

This one was made for my brother's birthday!

It's been kicking about as a draft post on my blog for ages, so I

thought I'd best share it with you now!

I used the Papermania Heritage Press City Gent collection to make my nice & simple

A5 gatefold card. The decoupage was layered up with foam pads.

A bit of matting & layering with the papers & a couple of buttons to embellish.

I added a couple of buttons & an eyelet to the sentiment tab.

On the inside I added a die cut tag with a little a

La Pashe Easy Peely Short n Sweet Verse 

I couldn't get the card to lay flat on it's own, so I popped 

a paperclip on it to keep it in place!

Thanks for popping in today, I hope you like my little card!

I'd like to enter a couple of challenges as listed below:

Where Oh Where Has My Mojo Gone?

Good morning all! How are we today?

Good I hope!

Today's card is my  Eureka Stamps Challenge DT card. 

The theme this week is

#179 Recycle It

I've used the fab Digi 20601 Most Special Day for my project!

Now what's recycled, you may well ask........

Let me tell you, I tried three other projects & managed to muck them all up

in epic proportions. My mojo has clearly gone off on holiday!

 I had almost given up, & was running out of precious time,

when I came across the sentiment, which was already printed for another project 

but not used, I rescued as much cardstock as I could from my

 failed projects & recycled it into this little CAS, white on white one.

The cardstock is Centura Pearl, I think it's oh so pretty!

I made an A6 base card & added the embossed panel.

 The sentiment was diecut using a Spellbinders Curved Rectangle die,

then popped up on some foam tape for dimenion.

I added some tiny little self adhesive pearls from Meiflower.

I have to say I was actually quite pleased with the results in the end.

Hope you like it & I hope you can play in the Recycling challenge this week!

I'd like to enter this little card in a few challenges:

Add Some Sparkle

Good morning all!

It's Monday & time for the new challenge over at Eureka Stamps,

where this weeks theme is:

#178 Add Some Sparkle!

This post will be short as my 'puter is about to run out of battery.

The power cable is broken & I'm waiting for the new one to be delivered!

Eeeek!

On to my card........

I used digi 9702 Eureka Butterfly for my card.

I made a little easel card for a child. Using lot's of bright colours.

I coloured the image using my Sakura Glitter pens.

It's hard to capture the sparkle, but you may see it better below!

The sentiment ticket was in my folder of already printed images & sentiments

and has been there for a very long time!

 I have no idea where it's from so if anyone recognises it let me know & then,

 I can give credit for it!

I coloured the ticket with the pens too!

The gems are also from my stash.

Thanks for popping in, I hope you like my card & I hope 

you can play in the challenge this week!

Happy New Year!

Good morning all & A Happy New Year to you!

Firstly, I must apologise for being a bad blogger over the holidays & not 

posting or commenting as much as I should have!

I've just been so tired & worn out, I needed a good rest!

I'l try to get round to your blogs soon I promise!

So, now that we're slowly getting back to normal, it's time for the first challenge of 2016 

at Eureka Stamps where the theme this time is

"Birthday Cards"

Here's my card

I've made a little 6"x6" twisted easel card, using the lovely sentiment 

Digi 20601 Most Special Day

Which was cut out with a Spellbinders oval die & matted onto 

another Spellbinders, die cut, ornate oval.

The base card is green & the paisley type paper is 

 from the My Minds Eye, Best of Paisley pad.

I distressed the paper with my serrated scissors.

The flowers are from my stash & have been there forever! 

I tend not to use flowers very often as I like to make cards which can be posted easily.

They just seemed to want to be on this card though!

The colours match better IRL.

Thanks for popping in. I hope you can play in this weeks challenge.

I'm sure you all have at least one birthday coming up soon!

Good morning all!

Hope you're having a good weekend!

I found this lovely little topper kicking about in my scraps box!

I think it might well be Hunkydory but can't be entirely sure.

The shaped card & sentiment were in there too & it looked 

pretty much like they went together, so that's what I did!

I added some lace to the topper & a scrap of matching CS behind the sentiment.

Both are popped up on foam pads for dimension!

That's about it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Most Special Day

Good morning all! 

Happy Monday to you! I hope you all had a good weekend!

It's time for the new challenge  over at

Eureka Stamps where the theme this week is

#144 "Use 3 Or More Patterned Papers"

I've used the digi sentiment #20601 Most Special Day

I cut the image out using a Spellbinders Die & inked with 

Spun Sugar Distress Ink before removing from the die.

The papers I've used are from the First Edition - Bird Song Pad

I had a few snippets lying around. 

I've used 5 papers in all.

I hand cut some fishtails & attached them to the back of the sentiment

The edges of the papers were all inked with Spun Sugar DI too

I was going to leave everything flat but it didn't look quite right so I decided to 

mount the sentiment on some foam tape to give some dimension.

I hope you like my little card & I hope you can play along in the challenge!

Good morning all,

I thought I'd ring the changes a little today!

The card I have to share today was made using an image from

Whoopsi Daisy

I love this image, it's perfect for spring & for little girls!

The base card is 6"x6" square.

I added papers from my stash not sure who they're by,

sorry, in a simple layout.

The ribbon was recycled from a friends top.

The image was pre coloured & I simply cut it out with a Spellbinders die

& inked with spun sugar distress ink whilst still in the die!

I added some little gems from my stash  to the corners

& one to the sentiment which is from Craftwork Cards.

There you have it, a quick & simple little card!

Hi all,

Here's a simple little card I made a little while back but never managed to blog!

I was asked to make a selection of Birthday cards for a friend,

this is just one of the selection!

The image I've used is from The Crafty Pad Designs who are no longer operating but

some of the artists designs are available at Card Making Downloads

The image has been lightly coloured with my promarkers, cut out with a Spellbinders die,

then inked whilst still in the die using some distress inks.

The papers I've used are from my scraps & the sentiment was done

on the pc then cut with a Spellbinders die too.

The narrow ribbon & bead embellishments are from a reel of 

gift wrapping ribbon which I got at Lidl.

The sheer ribbon bow is from my stash!

Hi Guys, I'm back again finally!

My poor blog has been sitting abandoned while I've been making all sorts of 

Christmas bits & pieces for various different things!

Anyhoo, here is the card I'd like to share with you today!

A birthday card, made using the Lelli-Bot Crafts kit,

Pure Elegance Butterflies & Lace 

The quality of the kit is amazing & it came with lots of brilliant embellishments.

I used a simple layout, using some of the gorgeous embossed card from the kit,

The ribbon, feather & button are all from the kit too!

I did add an extra butterly from my stash!

This photo shows the inside of the card which I decorated with one of the

design papers from the kit as well as some black & white cardstock.

I hope you like it! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!

I've missed posting but have been so busy I just haven't had time!

I'm hoping things will settle down now & I'll be able to get my Christmas cards writtien,

 & cleaning done before it's time to put up the tree & the other decorations

Then, it will be on to the wrapping up!
