Numbers!

I was asked by someone at work to make an 18th shaker card for her niece and thought that this is great timing as the challenge at My Time to Craft is numbers this week. As with one of my Christmas cards I have cut the card along the pre scored line and reattached it with ribbon (I have decided that I really like the effect that this gives!) The backround paper is from personal impressions and I added self adhesive gems for the 18! I hope this is what she is looking for (she did ask for girly!!!)

Another Christmas Card

Another Christmas card for you. I got the idea for this card while flicking through an old magazine while waiting in the doctors surgery. I chopped up a 5x5 card blank and reattached it at the top with ribbon and covered it with last years American Crafts Xmas paper (I cant remember the name of it though I'm afraid!) Then used a piece of round chipboard and covered it in some brown pearlised paper and drew the icing, the berries and the leaves freehand. I really think that its a fun Xmas card and I will be making more like this! I think that I will enter it into the Artistic Stamper blog challenge, which is Christmas in July!

ATC Challenge

This week I was asked by Shazzapat to set the theme for Florries ATC challenge. I thought that I would think of something a bit different for this weeks challenge so after some thought I decided on a "2 colour challenge" with no black or white. I love this paper from the oriental dovecraft theme and thought that the ribbon and the chipboard toppers looked great with it. (My colours are obviously purple and green!)

I'm trying to build up my card stock at the moment and its taken a while because I lost my crafting inspiration for a while! I think that I've got it back now though! I would really appriciate any feedback! Thanks xx

I think that this is my favourite one! The image is from a Laura Ashley paper that I decoupaged! I just love the Laura Ashley stuff! I'm not really sure where I got the background paper from but I thought that it really went well with the image!

Christmas Cards!!!

Yeah I know what your thinking but I came accross my Christmas craft stuff when doing a bit of a tidy up and thought why not! I do love making Christmas Cards! Seeing as its exactly 6 months until Christmas I thought that instead of rushing about at the last minute as usual I would start early! All feedback greatly received! (there are more to come!)

Florries ATC Challenge

Florries ATC challenge this week was set by Shazzapat and the theme is "Mellow Yellow." I just love yellow so I knew that I had to enter! I thought that I would make it a bit of a summertime theme too with the bugs and butterflies on it!

Buttons and Beads

The theme on Funky Fairy Challenge blog is 'Buttons and Brads," which as usual is a great theme. I know loads of people that are pregnant at the moment so I thought I would make a baby card this week. The papers and stickers are from my local poundland, the buttons are papermania. I'm not sure where I got the image from but I think that it really suits this card. I hope that you like it!
