Good Morning ladies I hope your all crafting away like little beavers :-)
Well what a day it was yesterday I’m sat happily studying away with some light classical music on for inspiration, which I need at the moment, and DH rings and says I forgot to tell you we have been invited to a Birthday party (my friend came back from Cyprus early and her partner is holding a surprise party for her) could you repeat that?!!!! plus other things I said, one of them being I have nothing to wear! DH also said can you get a present and make a card for 7’o clock, err could you repeat that too?! are all men like this or I am lucky and got the only one lol.

So off I go to find some paper in her favourite colours and made this card, now to the present and no time to go shopping, idea pops into my head I have some of her favourite chocolates in the fridge (luckily we both like the same ones) so I made her this box and filled it with the scrummy chocolates oh I ate a few as well lol.

The inside flowers I cut from the ribbon.

Now what to wear! then I remember buying a new outfit last week hehhehehe, so out I come all ready to go and DH says you look lovely (he’s looking for brownie points now after this mornings fiasco) OHHH with fingers crossed, I say this old thing I have had it for ages, well it has been in the wardrobe for a week, so it’s old now lol.
How lucky am I, as this week ABC challenge blog is looking for circles on your creations and my paper and box has circles on them so I shall enter it into their challenge.
Also another challenge blog Doodle Palace to use pastels and daisies and they are pastels and their is a few daisy on the paper.
Whiff of Joy with bling which I put in the center of the flowers and some on the paper flowers and on the inside.

Anya, Die Cut Dreams and Pink Elephant

Good Afternoon ladies, I took a break from studying for a couple of hours this morning and made this card for some challenges, I used the sketch by Pink Elephant which I loved and shall use this sketch again and the following themes of Hearts and Flowers for Die Cut Dreams, I have wanted to use this heart paper for ages but never got round to it, so this was the perfect opportunity.
Sugar and Spice & All Things Nice for Anyone for Anya, I think the sugary papers are perfect for this too.

I coloured her with Copic as you can see I am still working on getting my shading right but I will get there in the end, as I will not be defeated, sometimes it’s good and sometimes not so good, but I am quiet pleased with this.

The inside is just kept quiet plain with the addition of flowers for contrast.

The papers, ribbon, brads and green flowers are Bo Bunny, the other flowers prima, spacer a raking from the talented Linda thank you and the sentiments inside and out are computer generated, leaves are Boss cut and the pin is from my stash and that’s it.

I do appreciate you popping by my place and taking the time to comment on my work.
Thank you very much.

Hugs

Cards for a good cause.

Jess over at Jess’s Scrapbook Assortment is holding a candy with a difference a bit about Jess below

I am volunteer for my husbands brigades Care Team. In the event of a tragedy I may be called on to give support to a spouse. I had an idea of making sympathy cards to give to the spouses. Cards are given to them, but I feel handmade cards would seem more personal, then something from a store shelf. How does this tie in with blog candy you ask? I'd love to tell you! To enter this challenge you must mail your card to me. By doing so you understand it could be used to comfort a military spouse in the event of a tragedy. It also means you have the chance to win one of three blog candy giveaways!

These women are sending their husbands off, at the end of August, knowing they might never return. Let's send some cards to Jess just in case, god forbid, those husbands do not return.

Jess's husband is also one of the ones leaving.
Pop over and give her some support


Hugs

Die Cut Dreams

Hi all

Very quiet day here today and was thinking I need to make a card while hubby is quiet lol so searching through my images I came across this fashion image I won from Susie in her blog candy, by the way Susie is also holding another blog candy so why not pop over and check out her beautifull blog and enter.

I used this image for a challenge at Die Cut Dreams challenge blog and this weeks theme is fashion frenzy and coloured her with Copic.

The papers are Wild Raspberry from K and Co and I matted them all up with the image, using 3 D dots to raise it and I used my EK punch for the border and corners

The flowers are from a little shop here as are the pearls and pearl pin. I used a Shakura gel Pen on the leaf’s and on her bag, shoes, flowers and the edge of her dress. The sentiment is done on the computer and finished off with a pearl, matted and raised with 3D dots.

I just wish I had a figure and legs like that, isn’t she stunning and love the dress.


Thanks for popping by my place and have a great day everyone and I shall be round later to see you all.

Good Morning all and good news for me, a couple of days ago I had my exam result back and I have passed with a very good results so I am well pleased and it has given me the incentive to get on with my next one agggg only 10 days to finish it and I am still at the research stage.

But I did take time out to meet my friend Linda (who also makes cards) yesterday at the tea shop, and you just have to indulge don’t you and we did, plus we had a good crafty chat and an added bonus of a little spend in the craft shop, lethal going for tea and cakes as I always have to have a little spend lol.

Onto my DT spot at Cute Daisy May and the theme this week is Christmas, ok it’s a little early but I did enjoy making this one, as I love Christmas.

I used the sketch from Secret Crafter Challenge and I loved doing this sketch and also the theme from Pile it On which is to use three or more flowers on your project.

I used sheet 30, you can find the images of Daisy and her accessories here, plus a free download image.

Papers and Ribbon - Trimcraft
Glitter – Stickles
Flowers – Download which I trimmed round and inked the edges.

The sentiment on the inside I used a stamp but I am afraid it had no name on it, so I have no idea who made it and I added poinsettias.

Thanks for popping by my place again I do appreciate it and I will be back later to catch up with you.
