Here is another card thats just lurking in my "card folder" and wont fit a challenge, but i've come to the conclusion that that's because a lot of the challenges are being done fortnightly because of the good weather .... ahem! CS ~ Stash

Cute Card Thursday ~ Challenge 70 "Eye Eye"

This week CCT want to see us using eyelets on your card or project. This i can most definately do ... i have millions of the little blighters ... forever finding them rolling across the floor ... even when they have been safely locked away in the craft cupboard!

The Next Level ~ Challenge 1

The very first Challenge is to make an Aperture/Cut out Card - that is a card with an opening in the front. There are no restrictions on the size of the opening, where it is placed, or the size and shape of the card.

I was desperately in need of a girly card fix ... all i seem to be doing just lately is the male version of all the challenges ... after a mega blog hop this morning and seeing all your girly girl cards i was in fear of slipping into a depression and suffering withdrawal symptoms. So, i decided i would put off no longer the chance to make one of my cards off my list. Oh i could jump for joy .... i just love it!

Flowers ~ My own design .... decided to have a play at creating my own pattern ... worked out pretty well i think ... even though i do say so myself!

Beadcaps, gems and beads ~ Stash

The inside has been decorated with left over paper and i stuck a flower there to cover a faux pas made with silicone that i rubbed and made worse .... note to self : in future leave things alone till they're dry!

Well, i'm happy as a pig in muck with this card and can see me stroking this card for a while before i let it go ... saddo!

Edited: Just been looking at everyone elses cards and they all have one of those lollipop flowers on .... should mine have one on it too? pmsl! ... oh like i really care ... love the card too much as it is ... If its meant to have one on it just pretend you can see it lol!
