Spooky candle

Boo!! Morning folks, it's time for another challenge over at C.R.A.F.T.

and this time our theme is:

SPOOKY!!

My mojo was a bit adrift this week and I couldn't get very inspired about making a card, I don't really send Halloween cards, so I thought I'd try stamping on a candle instead. I bought some candles last year to make some Christmas decorations but ran out of time. Anyway I found the candles again & this is my first attempt at decorating one. I really enjoyed doing this, it made a nice change and it's great fun!! I used this fun digi called Witch Bear from Lexi's fairydust store which you can find here.

Anniversary Heart

Hello again! I've decided that reading my blog must be like waiting at a bus stop, nothing for ages and then 2 posts in one day - LOL!!

I found this Prima stamp again while I was tidying up earlier. I bought it last year and it is one of my favourites. I need an anniversary card for later this month, so somehow the tidying got forgotten, as I decided to make a quick card. Have to say though, that heat embossing in this afternoons heat wasn't perhaps my best plan!! I put an eyelet in the top of the image and threaded a ribbon through so that the heart swings on the red & black glitter card mount. Popped a gem in the centre and the little corner pieces are the bits left over from when using a corner punch!! It looked a bit stark when I just mounted it onto a plain white card so I added a strip of ribbon and a peel off sentiment (haven't used those in ages !!)

As usual I couldn't make a card without entering it into a few challenges (Lol - yes I am addicted!):

Isn't she cute ???

Hello Folks!

Don't you just love this cute & girly bear?? She is called Daisy and I bought her this week from The Clipart Fairy. I think she was an absolute bargain for 65p and so easy to use and resize etc. If you are a bear fan like me, they have several cute bear digi's that are just waiting to be adopted!! A few more might have jumped into my shopping basket along with Daisy. Well, I didn't want her to get lonely now did I!!!

I used a sheet of BG paper from sugared collection, prima E - line flowers, prima got flowers, papermania (i think?) paper for her dress, butterflies and ribbons from stash, computer generated sentiment and a clear pearl.

Daisy is 'entering' the following challenges:

Sketch & Stash Challenge #32 : Daisy was new and the butterflies have been in my stash for ages!!
