Look at Me !!!!!


Hi there !!! Here is my design card for this weeks challenge over at Crafts For Eternity. This week the challenge is to follow the sketch below.


Mmm ..... I seem to be leaning to blues at the moment !! Not sure why as I usually reach for the pinks !!! The image I used is Nanny Queen from this weeks sponsor Kelly Kids. I coloured her using my promarkers, and then glittered the top of her dress, crown and shoes !!! Paper is from Nitwits, the punch used was a Martha Stewart one and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. The wording I found on the internet, I thought this would be great for my God daughter who is 7 soon !!!

Last day of the school holidays !!! I cant believe they have gone so fast .............. plus of course having left shoes to the last week of the hols just incase her feet grew !! Its manic getting them !!! Still I think we are all ready for a new term !!

I am entering this into the following challenges:
The paper shelter - anything goes
Scrapbook sisters - anything goes

Have a great weekend !

Just married


Well I did it !!! Not one drop of glitter or bling on this card !!!! I confess to reaching for it tho ........... BUT ...... hehe !!!!

I made this card just because I like the image ! A Tatty Teddy one !! I dont have anyone getting married just yet, however one of my cousins are possibly in a year so I am well ahead then I guess !!!!! The wording I cut using my cricut from Elegant Cakes cartridge. The heart was also cut using the cricut, this time the Wedding cartridge.

I keep looking at it as its stood on the mantel and thinking ......... mmm some glitter on the flowers, the dress ...... Oh OK !!! I promise not to !!!

Hi there all, its time for another card for the Christmas card gang !!! This time our challenge was set by Sylvie. She challenged us to make a card with mistletoe on !! Mmm ...... I searched through my things and didn't find much so I chose this forever Friends image. Great challenge thanks Sylvie, now my craft room needs a tidy to put back all my things for looking for something with mistletoe on !!! hehe !!!

Of course I got the glitter out and glittered up the hat, and tree and star !!! Blinged the snowflakes (Martha Stewart punches) and used a tag stamp from I think Whimsey Stamps !

Dressing the tree !!


Oohhhhhh I just couldn't resist this House Mouse stamp !!!! She is so sweet dressing the 'tree' .

I decided to make this a very plain and simple card so the gorgeous picture was prominent. Of course I had to add some bling and glitter tho !!!

I coloured the image using water colour pencils and the wording is cut using my cricut off the Beyond Birthdays cartridge.

Well is absolultely throwing it down here ............. so its a film and popcorn me thinks !!!!

Its Christmas !!!!!!!!!!!!


Hi there everyone !!! This week at Crafts for Eternity the challenge is to show us your Christmas projects !!! This is my Christmas card for my best friend, I know she doesn't look on here so I am ok listing it !!!! hehe !!!


I used a House Mouse Stamp, coloured using water colour pencils and glittered up !!! Papers are from Nitwits and the sentiment I downloaded of the internet !! I am so not good at writing verses ! As its such a large verse I thought an easel card would be more fitting ! And of course I had to add some bling too !!!! Border punch is a Martha Stewart one as are the leaves !! I hope my friend likes it !


There are two prizes again this week! at C4E come join the fun !
The first is from Heidi at

Tatty Teddy !!!!! Thinking of you


Whoop Whoop Whoop !!!! I finally got my sticky little hands (well they are all covered in glitter glue at the moment !!! but maybe not so little !!!) on a Me to you Tatty Teddy CD !!!!!!!!!! Its fabby !!! I finally got to play with it yesterday as I got the cards I needed to make out the way so I could play !!!! I just LOVE Tatty Teddy he is sooooooooooooo cute !!!

I printed the image to fit my card and papers to match, got my beloved cricut machine out for the Thinking of you sentiment (from Sentmentals cartridge) and used some K&Co glittered flowers that matched the colours I had chosen !!

Happy Anniversary !!


Well I made this card in the 50 mins my partner was out at the dentist !!!! hehe !!! I literally finished writing the inside as the door closed behind him coming back !!! Phew !!!!!!! Hehe !!! All I have to do now is give it to him on the right day !

As I said in my last blog I just LOVE House Mouse stamps !!! This is one I had in my drawer for a while waiting to be used, all his cards are using House Mouse stamps !!! I coloured this one again with water colour pencils, the heart border is a Martha Stewart punch I haven't used yet !! papers by Nitwits, Sentiment from Lili of the Valley. Again I got my wonderful cricut out and cut the heart using it. I didnt want it to be too girly so avoided the doily heart !!!
