Kitty Bee Spotlight

Happy Wednesday everyone! 

I love the Spotlight part of being on our Kitty Bee Design Team, it's also the most difficult - it takes me ages to choose which image to use as there are so many cute images! 

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. 

I love this dotty paper too - it's perfect with the image, it's actually out of a very floral Prima paper pack.  You can't really tell on this image but the wings are all lovely and sparkly!

Aloha Friday Challenge - Love / Valentines!

Hi,

After being all on time last week - I'm back to my usual service of posting a day late.

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"!

I'm here with my design team post for Kitty Bee Designs - we're half way through our love / valentines challenge.

Here's my card - this will be my valentines card for my husband - good job he doesn't read my blog!!

This cute image is called My Heart Bunny - 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!!)

Thanks for stopping by and looking - I hope you can join us for our challenge - you can link up your card here!

I'll be back with some challenges later - once I've spent all my money!

Stampin' for the Weekend - Anything But a Card

Morning.

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!).

Anyway this morning I'm sharing my Stampin' for the Weekend project:

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!!  

I ended up making a fair few of these wine gift tags - as they are nice and simple (and because lots of people I know drink wine and/or have small children!)

The image is from Kitty Bee Designs, I used it lots and lots over Christmas as it's easy to colour up and is super cute!

So why not join us at Stampin' For the Weekend and link up your not-a-card project!  Can't wait to see what you all create!!

I'll be back later to add some challenges!
