Sweet Shabby Christmas

I have finally got around to some crafting as my daughter is now back in school after two weeks off.  It won't be long until they are off again ready for Christmas.

Here is my card which was inspired by the beautiful challenge at The Shabby Tea Room.

Here is the photo inspiration and for the challenge you are asked to use the colours in the photo and use glitter.

 

 

 

I have used a digi stamp from Fresh Brewed Designs and the papers and sentiment are from Pink Petticoat.  The layout is taken from last weeks sketch over at Mojo Monday.  I have coloured my image using promarkers and added glitter to make it sparkle.  I love the girlie colours of this card so I might keep it for my daughter ready for Christmas.

The time comes around some quickly for another fun colour challenge at My Time Made Easy.  I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween and didn't eat to many sweets!!

Here is this weeks Pretty Palette:

I saw these colours and thought I wonder if I can make a male card.  This is the one thing I have problems with.

So here is my card:

 

I have used the For Dad digital stamp set from My Time Made Easy.  I used the rosette and added a origami paper shirt.  I also used papers from my stash.  I have also added some ribbon and gems to finish the card and inked the edges of my paper in black.

 

 

I thought this card would be great for a birthday or Father's day even though its a bit early but I like to be prepared.

Happy Halloween

We are having a Halloween party at home this evening so I thought I would share with you my idea for little party favours for the children.

I have made lolly pop holders as I wanted something quick and simple.  I have used Hauntingly Homemade papers and and Hauntingly Homemade labels which are from My Time Made Easy.

All I did was make a little tent shape, which I hope you can see from the photograph and glued the top together to hold the lolly in place.

I also did a bit of baking and made some chocolate chip cupcakes.  I found this free cupcake topper headstone while browsing the Internet you can find them HERE at Elle's Studio.

 

More cakes, this time mummy cupcakes.

 

 

Have a safe and Happy Halloween.

Fresh Brewed Designs - Ballerina Christmas

After such a fun blog hop thought I would post a card using a digi stamp from Fresh Brewed Designs.

I made this card at a request of a friend for her niece and I wanted something a bit girlie.  The papers are from Pink Petticoat called fairy lights, which I just love as its feature alot in my Christmas cards for this year.  I have coloured the image using promarker and added some glitter and glossy accents to the tree.  You can't have Christmas without sparkle!!!

 

The little pink star I bought from a local shop which sells everything for parties, weddings etc....   I also cut some of the snowflakes from one of the papers to add extra embellishments to my card.

My Time Made Easy - Pretty Palette

With Halloween just around the corner I thought I would make this card with that in mind.  After all my daughter is totally obsessed with all things spooky at the moment.  So I thought this card would be perfect for her, along with a little treat bag.  Unfortunately the treats didn't last long!!!!

So to the My Time Made Easy Pretty Palette challenge, here is the colour palette:

 

My Time Made Easy

and here is my card:

 

I have used papers called hauntingly Homemade and the digital stamp set I have used is called Hauntingly Homemade Labels.  Both items are from My Time Made Easy.  I have used a design program called GIMP to change the colour of the papers to match the challenge.  I have then added some black glitter to the writing with a quickie glue pen.  I also inked up the edges of the papers and added some corrugated kraft card to add some texture.
