Gorjuss Birthday

Morning!

My mother-in-law is coming to visit today.  For lots of people this wouldn't be happy occasion. Me? I'm thrilled. For two reasons: 1. She is lovely and 2. (and most importantly) she's taking my children home with her!!!!!!  Yahooooooooo!!  3 whole days of freedom, not being woken up by someone climbing in to bed with us at 3am and spending the rest of the night hogging the bed or wiggling, or serenading us at 5am in morning while sat on the toilet!  A full nights sleep will be mine!!!

Anyway enough bragging - I wanted to share with you all a card I made for my lovely work friend last week.   I was searching through me stamps and found some Gorjuss stamps I haven't really used very much - so decided to ink up this cutie.  Unfortunately the squirrel to the side of the girl didn't make it!

The picture is very poor quality - mainly due to me taking it in my car on a cloudy day (don't ask!) but you get the idea. I've used some more of my lovely Crate Paper packs - this one is Maggie Holmes. The tickets are super cute - I bought them in a random little craft shop and then stamped badly on them.  

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Passion for Pro Markers - Give me a P (pearls, patterned paper, pin, pink)
Ladybug Crafts Ink - Anything Goes
Hobby House Challenge - Roses
Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes
Craftin' Boutique - Anything Goes

Kitty Bee - Aloha Friday Challenge: Halloween

Check me out!

Two posts in one day.  I'm back with my Kitty Bee Designs DT post.  This challenge our theme is Halloween.

This week I've been using the cute Kitty Bee Images to make little treat boxes for my friends at work. My plan is too fill them with mini bags of Haribo.  Everyone likes Haribo.

I've never made these little pillow boxes before they were super easy. I downloaded a template, printed it on the back of my patterned paper, cut it, scored it, folded it and stuck it. Easy peasy!  I also added some lovely black lace to tie up with.

I don't have a lot of Halloween papers - but I've got some Gorjus papers and they were just what I needed.  How cute is this little bat! You can buy these lovely images here!

I'd like to enter this project into the following challenges:

My Craft Spot - Trick or Treat
Stamp and Create - Fall or Halloween
Creative Corner Challenge - Anything but a Card
Crafty Catz - Halloween
Digi Haven - Halloween
Polkadoodles - Halloween
Simply Create Too - Halloween
Paper Pretties - Halloween
Ribbon Carousel - Fall or Halloween

These papers are from Stampin' Up they were in the sale, I got some really good bargains like 20 sheets of 12 x 12 card for £3.50, I stocked up on patterned paper and card, but there were dies and fabric on sale too.  I've put a link in my side bar for my friends online shop if you want to take a peek.

Christmas in October

Evening,

I'm here tonight to share my first Christmas card of the year (I'm so behind!)  I won a guest spot over at Crafting Musketeers and their October Challenge is to make a Christmas Card.  You should pop over and check out the rest of the DT makes - they are lovely!

Here's my card:

I've used this cute little Snow Penguin Digi from Kitty Bee Designs - I love it! You could get it here! My paper is from My Minds Eye and is left over from last year.  (To be fair my left over paper from last year is enough to make all my Christmas cards this year and probably next year too!)

Thanks for looking!

Hugs
