Stampin' For the Weekend - Butterflies!

Happy Friday!

We have a fab new challenge for you all over at Stampin' For the Weekend:  Butterflies!

Nice and Easy - I'm sure you all have a butterfly or two hanging around!

We are lucky to have Saturated Canary as our sponsor for this challenge!

Here's my card:

I made this using the image GROW, which Krista offered as a freebie a while back - but now it's available in the shop! The card was for my little girl's teacher at the end of term.  She coloured in another copy of the image and we stuck it inside.  I wish I'd taken a picture of it as it was cute.

The papers are from Raspberry Road and where a freebie with a magazine, my butterflies are cut using a embosslits die from Stampin' Up!

Why not pop over to our blog and check out the fab work by my teamies!  And then link up your butterfly creations and join in!

Tuesday Throwdown - Don't be square

Evening!

It's time for another Tuesday Throwdown.  Although it's not Tuesday - I'm a whole day late!

This week our theme is Don't be square- so no square or rectangle card allowed this week!

We are sponsored this week by Robyn's Fetish who have very generously given us images to use!

Here's my project:

Everyone loves a cup of tea.  I though it would be fun to make this into a little gift and make with a pocket for a tea bag on the inside!

When you look at it from the inside you have to imagine it with one of those fancy individually wrapped teabags in it!  Unfortunately I only had pyramid tea bags which, as I found didn't really fit in that well! But you get the idea.

I do hope that you can join us at Tuesday Throwdown so we can see your shaped creations.

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

Bearly Mine - Tic Tac Toe - (Ribbons, Circles, Die Cuts)
Craft Boots - Die Cuts
Created With Love - Anything Goes
Make it Monday - Anything Goes
The Crazy Challenge - Anything Goes
Crafting for all Seasons - Something  Hidden
Whimsical Designs - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
Delicious Doodles - Anything Goes

New Baby!

Hello!

I've got a week off with the children this week so I thought I'd steal 10 minutes while th and carrying out complicated fireman Sam rescue in the garden to post a card I made a week or so ago for some friends who've had a baby!

Although I think I may have gone overboard with the big blue bow.  I can't wait to meet baby Felix!

The image is an old Pollycraft image - it's one of my favourites for new baby cards.

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

Aloha Friday Challenge at Kitty Bee Designs: Summer

Hello,

I'm back today with a a mid challenge post for Kitty Bee Designs current challenge: Summer.

I hope you've joined in already - if not why not stop by and see what the rest of my teamies have created for some inspiration. Here's my card:

I knew there was a reason I bought a die with a snail, starfish and scallop  on it - it's been sat in my drawer waiting for it turn to be used!!

I've used a image called Shave Ice Bunny - although to me it looked like neapolitan ice-cream and that how I coloured it.  I've since been informed that it a Hawaiian thing and is a finely shaved ice with syrup on it.  Sounds delicious - and it got me thinking does anyone remember having a Mr Frosty when they were little? (Might just be a UK / child of the 80's thing!)

I decided to make a shaker card, I've actually used gold embossing power to be the sand - I'm pleased with how it's turned ou,t I always think of Shaker cards for Christmas with plenty of glitter for snow - but sand is good too!

I'd like to be able to tell you where the paper came from - but I have no idea - it's been lurking around for a while! 

Anyway - I do hope you can join in with this challenge!
