Happily there is a new baby in the family and I love babies (especially ones you can give back!) so a lovely card was called for.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">I've love this image for baby cards - it works so well and is just perfect. (Especially if you are feeling a little lazy and don't want to do lots of colouring!)</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">What really makes this card is all the glamour dust on it - the picture does it no justice as it is so sparkly in real life. I've still got it on a shelf ready to be sent and I love the way it twinkles!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm here a little late with my DT post for <a href="http://alohafridaychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">Kitty Bee Designs</a>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This fortnight our challenge is Valentines / Love and our sponsor is <a href="http://www.2cuteink.com/">2 Cute Ink</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4000015258789px;">, who are giving our lucky winner some super cute digis!!!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4000015258789px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4000015258789px;">I chose to use an image called "Owl you need is love". This is my husbands valentines card, although I've put it away somewhere safe so let's hope I can find it on the day!</span></span></div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've very simply used some red card and used Stampin' Up! stencil to do the embossed hearts. The paper is from a Crate Paper stack called Fourteen! </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Here I am with my first <a href="http://kittybeedesigns.blogspot.co.uk/">Kitty Bee</a> Project of the year and it's my January spotlight project.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've been spending a bit much time on pinterest recently rather than actually making stuff - oops! But it's paid off though. I've seen loads of these card in a box tutorials and thought I'd give it a go myself!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They are actually super easy, I had to improvise a bit as I don't own a full size score board but I managed. (I'll be getting my husband to rectify this on my birthday!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used the Kitty Bee image <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KittyBeeDesign">Hug Me Lady Bug</a> - how cute!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Other items used include Tattered Florals die, burlap stencil, distress ink, a Stampin' Up sentiment and some paper that has been lurking in my box for at least the last 3 years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope you like it! </div>

<br />
I'm here with my challenge post for Kitty Bee Designs. This is our last challenge before Christmas and our theme is unusual colour Christmas - so step away from those reds, gold and greens.<br />
<br />
As you can see from my card below I went wild! Well not really wild I chose blue as my colour and used this seasons must have Bunny!<br />
<br />
I love this paper too it's from My Minds Eye and is called Winter Wonderland - I got it cheap in the sales last year!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I'm probably going to make a few cards like this - well until the glitter card runs out as they are lovely and easy to make and more importantly... quick!! You can buy these little cuties from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KittyBeeDesign">Kitty Bee Shop</a>.<br />
<br />
I do hope you can pop over and join us for our <a href="http://alohafridaychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">challenge</a>.<br />

<br />
The current challenge over at <a href="http://alohafridaychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">Kitty Bee Designs</a> is "Thanks", now this technically isn't my challenge week, but the other team got to play with some A Day for Daisies images and I have got a bit of a soft spot for them so I joined in too!<br />
<br />
Here's my card - I've used a lovely image called Curvy Birds - it's lovely. The little birds had some glitter on them - they were super cute!<br />
<br />

It's a Halloween Blog hop! <div>
<span style="color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">Happy Weekend!</span></span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">I'm so excited - <a href="http://kittybeedesigns.blogspot.co.uk/">Kitty Bee Designs</a> have launched a bunch of amazing new images and to celebrate we are having a blog hop. If you're on the hop - hopefully you've joined me from <a href="http://traceyscornercards.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/halloween-blog-hop-at-kitty-bee.htm" target="_blank">Tracey's blog</a></span></span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">As soon as I saw the images I knew which one I had to have and I know when you see it you're going to love it too.</span></span></div>

I reminds me so much of my children when they try to play hide and seek, but only cover their faces and you can still see the rest of them! This little guy has thrown a blanket over his head, covered </span></span><span style="line-height: 20px;">himself</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"> in talc and hoped for the best!</span></span></span><br />

<br />
I'm here with my spotlight post for the <a href="http://kittybeedesigns.blogspot.co.uk/">Kitty Bee Designs</a> blog.<br />
<br />
This could have been my challenge card for our current "In the Garden Challenge" as I couldn't decide between two cute images - so what else could I do? I coloured them both and made two cards.<br />
(What's that? You've not linked your card to our challenge yet? Come on... closes on Friday! You need the link? Click <a href="http://alohafridaychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/aloha-friday-challenge-30-in-garden.html">here</a>!)<br />
<br />
I've chosen to use <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KittyBeeDesign">Plant Pot Owl</a> and teamed it up with some lovely purple papers. In fact pretty much every card I've made over the last week has been purple as I bought a new pretty paper stack. Yep poor me I had no paper at all in my house, nope none and had to buy some more! (OK so that last sentence may be a little fib - but you know where I'm coming from as you were probably behind me in the queue!)<br />

Hello!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I've been so terrible with my blog recently. I been making wedding invites for a couple of friends which turned out beautiful (even if I l do say so myself!) But as I've been procrastinating over them I've put my normal crafting to one side. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Happily I've made quite a few cards recently which I've got lined up to show you all. I've also had a sneaky peek of some fab new images from the fabulous Ruth at Kitty Bee Designs. I ♥ them and can't find wait to play with them. </div>
<div dir="ltr">

This evening I'm sharing my card for our In The Garden challenge at <a href="https://alohafridaychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">Kitty Bee Designs</a>. I've used Peek a Boo Kitty!</div>

<br />
I'm here with my <a href="http://kittybeedesigns.blogspot.co.uk/">Kitty Bee Designs</a> Spotlight post - we get to take our pick of the lovely images!<br />
<br />
I needed two cards quickly this month (I'm so behind at the minute as I've been making wedding invitations for friends and catching up on Game of Thrones - it's like having a full time job!)<br />
<br />
I decided to make two cards the same but different and coloured up two <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/KittyBeeDesign">Happy Birthday Kitty Bee </a>images. You'll have to trust me that these cards were very pretty - but the light in my house was terrible when I took the photo and I couldn't even fix the lighting on my PC.<br />
<br />

<br />
Another catch up post from me - but it's not as bad as my one earlier, this one is only a day late!<br />
<br />
This is the mid-challenge inspiration post for our <a href="http://alohafridaychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">Fairytale / Fantasy Creatures theme</a>. This challenge we have <a href="http://meljensdesigns.com/">Meljen's</a> as a sponsor!<br />
<br />
I've chosen to use a <a href="http://kittybeedesigns.blogspot.co.uk/">Kitty Bee</a> image for my card. I've made this card for my husband as it's his birthday next week - luckily he has no interest in my blog so I'm safe to post this!<br />
<br />

My image is called Ninja Kal-Bee I though he fitted the bill of a fantasy creature quite nicely. I've printed him out a couple of times and layered him up - which you can't really tell in this photo! If you want to own some Kitty Bee cuties - you should stop by the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KittyBeeDesign">Etsy shop</a> and have a look!</div>

<br />
I'm playing catch up today. I totally forgot to post my <a href="http://www.stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/">SFTW</a> design team post last week! Better late than never - sorry girls!<br />
<br />
It's also <a href="http://www.stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/">Stampin' For the Weekend's</a> last every challenge - the challenge is closing which is such sad news. So hop on over there and say goodbye to everyone! It's been really lovely working with everyone!<br />
<br />
So here's my final DT card, the theme was everyone's favourite - Anything Goes!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyZzVkzID3g_rxMqRY5uAenC1ay-pH5S0ftPA7y359L8sXknlw8Unt1rpKy3f2mFfAMBzEf2Hq2q_ACxZ_s-i3uHG2b7Ea0L-y6pFsdeUZ8AIIDP1qA6C8ME7Zy3HDIQdjC6_rgbBo1D_c/s1600/BD+-+DT+-+SFTW+-+AG+-+Lisa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyZzVkzID3g_rxMqRY5uAenC1ay-pH5S0ftPA7y359L8sXknlw8Unt1rpKy3f2mFfAMBzEf2Hq2q_ACxZ_s-i3uHG2b7Ea0L-y6pFsdeUZ8AIIDP1qA6C8ME7Zy3HDIQdjC6_rgbBo1D_c/s1600/BD+-+DT+-+SFTW+-+AG+-+Lisa.jpg" height="391" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I made this for my friend Lisa! I'm loving this Gorjuss Stamp at the minute, and it's really fab for paper piecing - especially if you haven't got time to do lots of colouring. These papers are pretty - I can't remember the name of them, but they are from the new Docrafts / Santoro range - with the girls with the big heads! If you've seen them you'll know what I mean.<br />
<br />
Anyway - I do hope you can join us for our final challenge!<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking<br />

Happy Friday - I've had a lovely week off work with the children, the weather has been lovely (no thanks to the weather reports predicting rain all week) and today we're off to look for the Gruffalo so let's hope the weather holds!<br />
<br />
Today our new challenge launches at <a href="http://www.stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/">Stampin' For the Weekend </a>- and our theme is buttons and bows!<br />
<br />

<br />
A few weeks ago I opened my big mouth and said to my friends wouldn't it be nice to do an Easter Hunt round the park for the children. "Oh yes" they said and silly me said I'll do it - it'll be easy! Then this Saturday I realised the hunt was the next day! Cue a very last minute trip to the supermarket for eggs and lots of them!!<br />
<br />
Next to make some clues, lovely Ruth from <a href="http://kittybeedesigns.blogspot.co.uk/">Kitty Bee Designs</a> sent me her very cute Easter Egg Bun so I could start making clues. I'm a huge fan of her little cuties and so glad I'm on the DT otherwise I would be bankrupt by now. Here's the link to her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KittyBeeDesign?ref=shopsection_shophome_leftnav">Etsy shop</a> - go on take a peek!!<br />
<br />
Now in the spirit of making things easy for myself (and leaving it until 11.30pm to sort out!!) and still needing to colour quite a few bunnies - how could I do this quickly? I opened the image in paint and simply used the paint pot tool to fill in the large areas on the rabbit grey and then a couple of quick clicks to colour it's little nose and ears pink. I then printed out an army of bunnies, with just the eggs to colour.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxP6SvNhCe31YKUHYNGlPmuBF8tTba7KxGZKsVnqydJGLCeznNuL80YFP2NOv1HLoJ0vd099a5N9P1C2aps68U0VL31SmymXi96iF03ruCHeevV4BUxQtxIAgGUJHEV15-gFMw7HjPeydW/s1600/KB+-+EGG+hunt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxP6SvNhCe31YKUHYNGlPmuBF8tTba7KxGZKsVnqydJGLCeznNuL80YFP2NOv1HLoJ0vd099a5N9P1C2aps68U0VL31SmymXi96iF03ruCHeevV4BUxQtxIAgGUJHEV15-gFMw7HjPeydW/s1600/KB+-+EGG+hunt.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I coloured the eggs (very very quickly) with my promarkers and made a quick colour book for the smaller children to match up and the older children took the highlighted letter from each word for their part of the hunt - as they needed to find out the name of another bunny. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx_0incX9wKqj72BzB47uk-nLOsWZ8hzfvSYnCJd44XAlEU5zJ9WmuNXFRS1Fmg3efBebE645hAX_zbrPMF14dGFPpkkEMFB_Xe1wSfoqkc0goSECq2x6zh4astZY8xcoDepyg3oM4J7_N/s1600/KB+-+EGG+hunt+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx_0incX9wKqj72BzB47uk-nLOsWZ8hzfvSYnCJd44XAlEU5zJ9WmuNXFRS1Fmg3efBebE645hAX_zbrPMF14dGFPpkkEMFB_Xe1wSfoqkc0goSECq2x6zh4astZY8xcoDepyg3oM4J7_N/s1600/KB+-+EGG+hunt+2.jpg" height="231" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I then used some classy plastic wallets to put the clues in, and dodged the rain in the park attaching them to trees with a bit of ribbon. It worked really well - and the children had loads of fun. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's my card - it was for my lovely mother-in-law. She is amazing! <br />

This is a penny slider card - so <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KittyBeeDesign">Super Bun</a> moves up and down. With hindsight I should have made the writing a bit bigger. I love this paper too - it's from a Crate Paper stack.</div>

<br />
Oops - that'd be me late again!<br />
<br />
I'm here with my <a href="http://www.stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/">Stampin' For the Weekend</a> post - it should have gone live on Friday, but I'm really not sure where the last two days have gone.<br />
<br />
Luckily we have a very easy challenge this fortnight - you might have heard of this one before - ANYTHING GOES. I'm sure you'll have something to enter<br />

Oh what's this? Another Tiddly Ink image- I think I have problems - ha ha. I love the paper on this card - it's from a Crate Paper Pack - Fourteen. The flowers are fabric cut with the Tattered Florals die. The range are selling little packs of fabric, it's quite thin and cheap but perfect for cards. I used a small amount of antique linen distress ink just to tone down the white fabric a bit.</div>

<br />
I'm here (late again!) with my post for <a href="http://alohafridaychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">Kitty Bee Designs.</a> We're half way through our challenge, and the theme is Monochrome.<br />
<br />
Our challenge is Sponsored by <a href="http://lacysunshine.weebly.com/">Lacy Sunshine</a>, you should see what my teamies have done with their images! I choose to use a super cute <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KittyBeeDesign?ref=l2-shopheader-name">Kitty Bee image</a> - this one is called Espresso Bun!<br />
<br />

I'd like to be able to tell you where the papers are from - I think they are First Edition - Spring Drop - but I can't be sure. What I can be sure of is my new memory box die - it's lovely (although it was a bit of a cow to cut properly!)</div>

<br />
Hope you've all got something lovely planned for the weekend. I have a super day planned - today we are visiting Cadbury world. Mmmm I can't wait, unfortunately my children think we are actually visiting Willy Wonka's chocolate factory and my little boy (he's nearly 4) is terrified of falling the chocolate river and being sucked up the pipe, like Augustus Gloop!<br />
<br />
I'm here with my design team post for <a href="http://www.stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/">Stampin' For the Weekend</a>. I'm running about a day late - sorry teamies. Our theme is Sparkle and Shine and our fabulous sponsor is <a href="http://bunnyzoescrafts.com/">Bunny Zoe's</a>- you should check her store out - there's even a sale this weekend with 20% off stamps.<br />
<br />
Here's my card - it's a bit usual for me - I don't tend to use bright colours or images with lots of hair - so you'll have to let me know what you think.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love the Spotlight part of being on our <a href="http://kittybeedesigns.blogspot.co.uk/">Kitty Bee Design Team</a>, it's also the most difficult - it takes me ages to choose which image to use as there are so many cute images! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I made this card for one of my lovely friends as up until this afternoon was due to be going into hospital at the weekend. Now her op has been postponed so I'll have to put it away for a little while. I chose this cute little ladybug image for my card - I think he is perfect to make her feel better. </span></div>

<br />
After being all on time last week - I'm back to my usual service of posting a day late.<br />
<br />
I'm feeling quite exited today as I'm going to the Creative Stitch and Hobby Craft event in Manchester at home. Woop Woop!!! I'm hoping to pick up some crafty bargains and lots of "essentials"!<br />
<br />
I'm here with my design team post for <a href="http://alohafridaychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">Kitty Bee Designs</a> - we're half way through our love / valentines challenge.<br />
<br />
Here's my card - this will be my valentines card for my husband - good job he doesn't read my blog!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This cute image is called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KittyBeeDesign">My Heart Bunny </a>- it's so super cute. The papers are Crate Paper - Fourteen - which is a beautiful paper stack. I'd like to say I've kept this quite simple for a reason - but actually I don't have many embellishments that are suitable for a guy card. (Maybe I could buy some today!!)</div>

<br />
I'm not a work today which is great, especially as I've got all my crafty bits out. The only problem is that the house is a bit cold and I'm being mean and not putting the heating on, so I've got my husband's fleecy dressing gown on!! (Thanks Dave! - and yes that is glitter glue sleeve - oops!).<br />
<br />
Anyway this morning I'm sharing my Stampin' for the Weekend project:<br />
<br />

For this challenge our lucky winner will be getting a surprise gift. Our theme for this fortnight is Anything But a Card. Here's my project - I've made a wine gift tag. It was a Christmas Gift for my son's nursery teacher - not a very original gift, but I'm sure it's considered a staple for all people who work with small children on a daily basis!! </div>
