Craft Your Days Away - For Children

Happy Saturday!

Hope you've all got something nice planned for the weekend. Today will see me buying some gold wool to crochet a tea cosy - how random!  I've never made one in my life but in a months-ish time it'll be entered to the a competition at the Staffordshire County Show - so no pressure!  How hard can it be?! (Although, I think I may be bitten off more than I can chew here!)

A fabulous new challenge launches today at Craft Your Days Away.

This new challenge is For Children, which is fabulous, even better is our amazing sponsor Bugaboo who are providing a great prize of 7 images (how will you choose?)

So here's my card:

I used an image from Bugaboo called Kidz Boy Balloon, my papers are Gracie Taylor - Playtime, for the denim paper and Papermania - Happy Birthday to You for the lighter paper.  The cupcake is cut with a Marianne Die and I used the world's supply of Glossy Accents on the balloons!

So why not pop over and see the rest of my teamies creations and then play along with us - I can't wait to see what you create!

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

Ladybug Crafts Inc - Birthday Cards

Passion for Promarkers - Cut it Out

Stampin' for the Weekend - Sparkle and Shine

Thanks for looking, hope you all have great weekend!

Birthday Girl

Hi,

I've had a busy weekend, yesterday we had our first WI cake stall, we did great and could have easily sold twice as much!

Today we've been to a birthday party for my friend's two year old, which was in a children's gym.  My two had a great time and have had a nice early night tonight!!!

Here's the card I made for Dot - the birthday girl.

I got a new pad of paper on my outing to The Range this week and I've used it here for Dot's card.  It's by Grace Taylor, and is called Playtime (and it was only £9.99 for 100 sheets!).  It's perfect for children's cards!

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

Paper Sundaes - Let's Get Cute

Guest Designer - Lexi's Creations

Evening!

A week or so ago I won a guest spot for Lexi's Creations .

Their new challenge is: Use Your Punches and Die Cuts.  I don't have many punches so die cuts it was! (Note to self: Get hold of Husband's Shiny Credit Card to fix this crafting emergency soon!)

Here's my card; the image was very kindly provided by the sponsor of this challenge Fairy Dust Crafts and is called Auri.  

I love this ruffled ribbon - I must get some more (in a range of colours just to be on the safe side) as it looks great!

Why not stop by the Lexi's Creations Blog and play along with us!  Thanks for letting me play along with you!
