For my card I decided to go with Halloween and Autumn colours combined mainly because I bought a whole boatload of Halloween Papers and embellies on my holiday trip to Michaels and haven't used any of them.  I've had a bit of a week last week and crafting and blogging had to take a back seat but I'm in catchup mode now and I'm ready to teddy go lol.

I used this really cute bear from Stampfairy called Barry Pumpkins available here

 and the inside

Here's what I did for my card....

What have you got inside!

Good morning all

Well there's a question and one we'd like to see the answer to
at Fab'n Funky challenges this week 

our challenge this week is 

What's inside?

(decorate inside your card)

I do always decorate inside of my cards to match the outside - though I don't often show the inside on my blog.  But here I am showing my inside off today!!

Just as well its not my real insides - I dread to think what it looks like in there yuk!

We are sponsored this week by the fab

Stampfairy

 

who are offering a fab prize of $10 to spend in their shop

We were lucky enough to get some cute images to play with 

I chose this cute little girl called

Mimi Stars 4 - available here

The layout of this card came about by accident really - I was making a scalloped edge to go down the side edge with a ribbon but when I put the scallop together I thought it sort of looked like a pelmet and as this little girl looks like she's on the stage I decided to mount it on 3d foam along the top of the card and leave it at that!  I decorate the inside to match using the same layout.  I've also been getting a bit attached to my stickles of late so gave them a bit of an outing on this card too!

This is what I did...

Paper Lili of the Valley - petal fresh

Stickles - diamond stickles

Seing Stars challenge at moving Along with the Times

Good morning all

Hope this Thursday finds you well.  I'm hobbling around this morning on aching feet - but i don't deserve any sympathy! All due to dancing in the aisles in shoes that were far to high at the "Once in a lifetime" concert at the Metro arena last night.  We has a pre Christmas night out - Leo Sayer, Smokie, Hot Chocolate and David Cassidy.  We had a good giggle and enjoyed the night - though David Cassidy in his too tight pants with a sore throat was a bit of a let down - but Leo Sayer was brilliant!

Anyway onto todays challenge at MAWTT
chosen by our talented teamie

Leesa (aka the Navy Wife)

Here's my card for today

No patterned papers challenge at Fab'n'Funky Challenges this week

Good Morning all

How the weeks are flying by - we have suddenly arrived at the first Wednesday in October - how did that happen!

Todays challenge over at Fab'n'Funky is themed

No Patterned papers

I have to admit that I don't find these kind of challenges easy!  I don't have a lot of embossing folders and I don't really like plain.  I'm on a bit of a Christmas thing at the minute (aren't we all when we panic and count the weeks to Christmas - then panic again!) and I have got a few Christmas embossing folders so decided that would work best for me.

 our sponsor this week is Stamp Fairy I used a digi from their winter collection called Molly Winter 2  I used my favourite blue and white colour combo - I just love this combination for Christmas cards

This is what I did...

Its Mellow Yellow day over at Fab'n'Funky Challenges

Hi blog friends

Hope you're all having a good day - its lovely up here in the frozen north (despite the rumours we do get good weather up here), the sun is shining, the sky is blue ...."and I am happy, happy all through".  walked for miles on the beach this morning with the hound dog, I love it when the tide is right out.  but enough of me...

Its Wednesday so that means a new challenge over at Fab'n'Funky Challenges and
This week , we are again lucky to be sponsored by:

the DT were doubly lucky and allowed to play with an image too. Just to give you the "heads up", there are several freebie images available from the stamp fairy that fit perfectly with this weeks theme which is.....

"Mellow Yellow"

We would like you to make yellow the main focus of the card or have a daffodil or two on it, or even combine the two!! This is in honour of St David's Day which was on 1st March. So lets see you over at F'nF this week, all of this sunshine is enough to inspire everybody to get the yellow paper, pens and ribbons out - or the odd daffodil!

Here's my DT as you can see I went with the daffodil option with a bit of yellow for good measure

What I did....

Shaped card - Craftwork cards
Bunny image - Available to download for free at Stamp Fairy
Paper - Dovecraft - back to basics
Yellow check card - from my stash
Sentiment - from Dawn Bibby - Woodland rabbits set
Flowers -Wild orchid crafts
Yellow pearls Kaiser craft
die cuts - Spellbinders
Ribbon- Carnmeal cottage
Picket fence and heart cut with my cricut expression - My community and Wedding carts
Image coloured with - copics and prismacolor pencils

Its a very simple card really but with a cute bunny image like that what more do you need

Tha'ts me for today

See you tomorrow
