Birgitta Birthday

Oh for heavens sake what on earth happened to my post I wrote it reverted back to a previous save. Now I have to remember what I wrote.
First of this card was inspired by one of my favourite blogs Where's My Creavitity. The birthday sentiments are from Simon Says Stamps. The card was finished with a bit of twine and some flowersoft with fun flock for her slippers.
I have a lovely quiet Mothers day with a beautiful bouquet delivered from my Son and the next DVD I need for my Bones collection from my Daughter. I then spent a the afternoon watch Saving Mr Banks and of course you had to follow that with Mary Poppins.

Right I'm going to publish this again and go back to link Mary's blog in case it disappears again.

CHRISTMAS/ HAPPY HOLIDAY

I'm still in CAS mode but I do love how this turned out, the little angel is from CC Designs called Fa La La Emma and I coloured her perhaps not the usual colours but Christmas ones nonetheless. The papers are Doodlebug Home for the Holidays and  my bit of Holly is  a Martha Stewart punch very handy for hiding dirty marks!
My Christmas sentiment was made with a square punch for the fishtails and I used Holiday Apothecary Labels stamps and die set from Simon Says Stamps. Some glitter and ribbon to finish.
Do pop over and check out the team fabulous creations and do hope you can join us too.

With a Splash of Colour

Time for new challenge on Simon Says Stamp Challenge 

 and this week its

Black and White with a splash of colour.

Or in my case maybe a very large splash. We are also showcasing CC Designs but thats not a requirement for the challenge.

I used the black and white pages out of the Kaiser Chapter One pad  and using  Martha Stewart Cherish punches for the fancy white mat. Then  added CC Designs at jaunty angle she is called Abigail.

Love the new Simon says Stamp You die and stamp set and some old favourites the Harrington Vine and Bella Bloom and bit of ribbon. The card looks busy but I don't have the usual long list of details for what I've used.

Now you know the drill to win the chance of this fabulous prize you have to enter the challenge with a new card no backlinking and you need to enter your post using the linky thing on the challenge blog.

Something new

Time for life to return to normal and what better way with a new Challenge of Something New at

Simon Says Stamps Challenge.

For a change I'm trying out the American Crafts 6inch pads and this one is called Soho Garden, I especially love the teacup patterned paper so had to use it. I'm trying out new images to find a new favourite so this is Coffee Brigitta from CC Designs.

I'm afraid the jury is still out on the card although my DD likes it so I don't think it will be in spare cards bag for long.

I've also used the the Martha Stewart Daisy Margarita border punch which I punched out some dots for the centres. The flowers are also CC Designs called Five Point Flowers die but I've an old punch for the centres.

Since cups are involved it seemed only right to use the MFT Always Time for Tea die set.

Now you know the drill to win the chance of this fabulous prize you have to enter the challenge with a new card no backlinking and you need to enter your post using the linky thing on the challenge blog.

Orange and Purple

We have a colour theme over on Everybody Art Challenge this week and its Orange and Purple which conjurers up Halloween and this is my only themed Halloween card.
The papers are from Fancy Pants but they are last years having avoided buying anymore themed paper. I already have a Cuttlebug web folder and as always with Halloween out came the Cricut for my spiders, they're are fun with their wobbly eyes.
My Pumkins I used the George cartridge and the long ovals quite pleased how they turned out. The little image is a CC design but I think she is retired cos I'm sure I brought her in a craft shop sale.
Hope you can join us this week and do pop over to check out the DT.
Its Cyber Crop over on UKS at the weekend and I brought the Mystery Kit didn't realise the weekend I planned to make it I would be unwell so although I've started it through the haze of feeling under the weather I'm now not pleased how its going but feel I'm obligated to finish it. So that is what I will be doing today, that and have a good catch up with all the blog visiting I've missed.

Simon says For a Special Someone

When I made a boob boo the other week for Simon Says Stamps Challenge I coloured up Gretel from CC Designs just in case I had time to make another card but our lovely challenge leader altered the challenge so I waited for the Girly card challenge that I knew was coming soon.

I've also used the gorgeous Spring Drop papers from First Edition and the fence behind Gretel is a Martha Stewart Picket Fence border punch which I knew I had to use when I saw Gretel. The corners are a Cuttlebug die that comes with others but this is my all time favourite. Flowers are punches from EK success and bit of ribbon to finish.
Well we had an loads of entries for last week challenge over 1100 that is truly amazing. This weeks challenge of Mother's Day which is due in a couple of weeks here in the UK or card for a special lady hope we get just as many entries. Don't forget that if you do you're in for a chance of wining this fabulous prize and with March being National Craft Month there are some great offers in Simon Says Stamps Shop.

I managed a couple of cards yesterday just need a couple of more for the design teams then its my time to play.

Jane's Sketch

We have a fabulous sketch this week on Simon Says Stamps Challenge from DT member Jane, certainly one I shall be using again.

I love Kaiser papers that Simon Says Stamps stock and this pack English Rose is absolutely beautiful with lace and pearls.
The flowers are Prima again Simon Says Stamps must have hundreds of them and they often fall into my basket.
The couple are CC Designs and the sentiment is from WOJ wedding sentiments and the mat behind the happy couple are is embossed with a cuttlebug embossing folder

I do hope you can join us and be in with a chance to win this fantastic prize, if you need a bit of inspiration check out the DT samples.

Things with Wings

Who needs an excuse to use butterflies or things that fly well there is one over on Simon Says Stamps Challenge cos thats the challenge Things with Wings. The DT is showcasing CC designs, of course when I chose this cute couple I forgot they didn't have wings but I think they're such a cute couple and great for Engagement cards.
So I had to rely on my butterfly punches for the things with wings, such a hardship! I've also used the Linen Closet Pad from DCWV and pearls to finish the butterflies, finally a bit of ribbon.
You don't have to use CC Designs, although if you do we would love to see a card made with one but its not a requirement. Do check out the rest of the DT and don't forget there's a $25 prize to spend at Simon Says stamps.
No waffling today since I'm not quite awake yet.
