Christening Card

Hello!

I've got a nice evening of catching up blogging planned!

Today we've been to a lovely Christening for one of our friends little girl.  She is almost two and so looked so cute wandering around in her beautiful dress.

Here's the card I made for her:

Hopefully it's appropriate for a christening!

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

Paper Sundaes - Anything Goes

Thanks for looking!

Craft Your Days Away - Use Metal

Happy Saturday Everyone!

I've been a terrible blogger recently - but I seem to have had no time at all to just sit and have a good nose round everyone's beautiful blogs!  So if I follow you and have been neglecting you recently I apologise!  Hopefully after this weekend - things should calm down a bit!

Anyway it's time for another design team card for the fabulous Craft Your Days Away!  This time our challenge is to Use Metal and we are sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs.

Here's my card for the challenge:

So it's time to dig out those charms and metal embellishments - it would be really fab if you could join us this fortnight - I can't wait to see what you create!

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

Here comes the Easter Bunny

Morning Everyone!

Hasn't the weather been amazing this week?  I think I may have even got the tiniest hint of a tan!

Firstly I'd just like to say hello to my new followers: Joanne, Bunny, Sarah, Helen and Berit - thanks for stopping by my blog!

Today I want to share with you all my second design team project for the amazing Craft Your Days Away.

Our theme for this fortnight is Easter and we are sponsored this time by The Stamp Fairy who is giving $10 voucher to our lucky winner!

We don't normally give Easter cards in our family, for us Easter is generally all about the chocolate and getting together as a family - so instead I've made an Easter Basket for my lovely children. How cute are those little fluffy chicks! 

Although I suspect that I may need to help my children eat those eggs so they don't go off  / make a mess / make their teeth fall out / some other rubbish excuse to eat my children's chocolate.

I love my bee ribbon, so when I saw this honeycomb paper I knew I had to use them both!  To make the basket I found a tutorial here.  It's really simple to make.

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

Pollycraft - Chocklit
Sassy Cheryl's - Easter Parade
The Pixie Cottage - Cuddly Critters
Lexis Creations - Easter
Creative Craft Challenges - Anything But a Card
One Stop Craft Challenge - Easter
Allsorts - Photo Inspiration
Simply Create - Eggs or Bunnies

Anyway - thanks for looking - why not join us at Craft Your Days Away this fortnight for our Easter challenge - we'd love to see you there!

Hi Tweetie

Morning! 

It's my second and final week as a guest designer at For Fun Challenges.  Thanks for letting me be part of your team!


This weeks challenge is Buttons and we are sponsored by Clear Dollar Stamps and the amazing prize is a $15 gift code for digital images!

They have very generously let us choose a beautiful image to work with.  I chose Love Tweet Love and so here's my card:

How sweet is this image?  Although you'll have to forgive my "rustic" sewing as my new sewing machine has made it's début on this card.  I think I need a bit a lot more practice!  


The papers are a magazine freebie and the buttons are some I've had in my stash for a while now!  I've also used my favourite Stickles on the flowers and a couple of dabs of glossy accents on the beaks and heart.

Anyway it's time for me to go and have nose round to see what everyone has created.  It would be lovely if you joined us too!
 
Also I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Lollipop Crafts - Anything Goes
Freshly Brewed - Spring Fever
Paper Sundaes - Spring Blossoms
Stamping For the Weekend - Anything Goes
St Luke's Charity Card Challenge - Spring into Spring


Thanks for looking!

For Fun Guest Design - Western Theme

Morning!

Hope you're all having a good week so far!

The lovely people over at For Fun Challenges have let me guest design for them this week and next week!  Thanks!!!

This weeks challenge is Western and here's my card:

This cute little guy is from Bugaboo, the sentiment was done on my computer and I've distressed some Core-dinations card.  I was um-ing and ah-ing about what to embellish it with - I never seem to have anything good for guy type cards as the usual pearls and gems don't really work!  However I was thrilled when found these star shaped brads that I bought ages ago in a sale and had forgotten about.

I can't wait to see what other people have made - I love having a good old nose round other peoples blogs, and it would be great if you joined us this week too!

Thanks for looking!
