Happy Halloween with googly eyes!!

Its Halloween and I have a little girl who cant wait to get dressed up.  We are off to a sweetie hunt in our local village this afternoon which she is looking forward to and a bit of pumpkin carving with Daddy today as well.

 

 

This weeks challenge at Daring Cardmakers is all about googly eyes. I couldn't find any at home so I had to steal them off a little chick that my daughter had made at Easter.  Just hope she doesn't notice.  I could have easily made some using the plastic blister pack that comes on most medicines.

 

 

I used papers and image from My Time Made Easy .  The papers are from a Halloween set but I picked the papers without pumpkins on them. I love this little dragon and having the googly eyes makes him just a little bit cute.  I didn't add a greeting as I thought this card could be used for both Halloween and a birthday.

Sentimental

We have started Halloween early in our house as my daughter has now finished school for two weeks and her school had a little Halloween party.  I made a few cupcakes  which I am hoping the children liked.

 

 

So to this weeks challenge at Daring Cardmakers which is to do with your favourite sentiment.  Anyone that knows me knows I love cupcakes, anything from pictures to eating them.  I especially love using them in my crafting.

 

"I love you more than cupcakes" is the perfect sentiment for me!!

The sentiment and cupcakes are from a set from Paper Sweeties called sending sweet thoughts.

 

I just had to make my card all girlie and pink.

Reading Time

Reading Time is this weeks dare over at Daring Cardmakers.  The challenge host this week is Beckie and she would like to see a page from an old book used or perhaps a stamped script.

Here is my card:

 

I don't have any old books in fact most of our library consists of children's books at the moment.  So instead I have used some lovely papers from the Prima Printery collection.  Which has some lovely script papers included.

 

I made this card for my brother and sister in law as they are soon to celebrate their 7th wedding anniversary.  I made the flower out of some organza material and added some beads to the centre.  The bird cage and sentiment are from a set from Papermania called Chatsworth House.

Out of this World

Only 10 weeks to go!  Nearly at the end of my pregnancy, it feels like I have been pregnant forever.  We have made a few little baby purchases this week which involved a trip to Ikea.  Love this place and it was a lovely day out with my husband.

Now to this weeks challenge at Daring Cardmakers.  Its called "Out Of This World" and the challenge is to make a card using a character that's out of this world.  So think ghosts, dragons, superheros etc.


Here is my card:

 

I have used a little unicorn image from My Time Made Easy.

I have then coloured the image using promarkers and a little glitter.

Daring Cardmakers - Colour Combo

We had a little coffee afternoon at the weekend for Macmillan Cancer and we raised 130 euros.  Its was the first time we had done it and we had such great support.  The weather was fantastic so we were able to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee and a cake.

Now to this weeks challenge at Daring Cardmakers.  Its a colour combo!

and here is my card:

 

I love the picture that comes with the colours so I wanted to feature cherries in my card somewhere so I used some background paper from Pink Petticoat.

I then stamped some cute little cupcakes and paper pieced the cupcake cases to match the papers.
