A bit of Sunshine

I managed to squeeze in some crafting at the weekend and my daughter had her friend to visit, which was so lovely I just love listening to my daughter speak French, its wonderful and good practice for me.

So here is my card I made this weekend.

I used some of my favourite papers and digi image from Pink Petticoat. I have coloured the image using promakers, added some glitter and a splosh of glossy accents. The flower was made using Spellbinders Rose Creation Die another one of my favourite crafting items.

I made it really for the challenge at Just Us Girls. Check out the lovely piccie for Inspiration.

and I used the sketch below from The Sweet Stop

Look Its Me!!

I am super excited, I am in Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine.

I made a card recently using the free gift which was from Pink Petticoat and posted it to their Facebook page and now here I am on the letters page.

Time for Tea

Hope you are all having a lovely day. My little girl is off on her school trip today, she is so excited. I packed her up with a picnic in her brand new princess lunch box which she got for her birthday. I just wish the weather would improve for them, its so grey and rainy today.

Anyway its time for more scrummy challenges.

Check out this gorgeous inspiration photo from The Ribbon Reel.

The challenge is to be inspired by the photo and use pearls, ribbon, lace/twine.

Here is my card:

I have used paper and image all from Pink Petticoat. I have included some twine on my medallion and button embellishment. I have added some pretty lace and ruffle edge ribbon. Along with some pearls to add detail to the cup and to highlight my sentiment.

The layout for the card is taken from the challenge at The Sweet Stop

Sweet As Sugar

I just love anything cupcake whether its eating, making or buying something with a cupcake on just because its a cupcake. I love them. So when I saw the challenge at The Shabby Tea Room I just had to have a go.

Check out the scrummy photo for inspiration:

The challenge is to be inspired by the photo and use blue, pink, white or cream and flowers.

Here is my card:

Year in Review

Its time to show one of my favourite templates from My Time Made Easy. Well to be honest they are all my favourites so it was hard to choose.

I have picked In A Pinch. Its such a cute box great for holding a smaller gift perhaps as a little favour for a party. As its Spring I have also gone for some colourful papers called Color Infusion.

The label is from the stamp set called Apothecary Labels and I have coloured it to match my box.

Please check out what the other design team members have made.

Home Sweet Home

I hope you all got chance to check out the new Tapered Template from My Time Made Easy and today its the turn of the new stamp sets.

They are called:
There's No Place Like Home
Home Sweet Home

I have made a little house warming gift using both sets of stamps.

The Template I have used is called Welcome Home and I have used the Construction Materials paper for the walls and roof along with the new stamp There's No Place Like Home for the cute door and windows.

The little tag was made using the new stamp called Home Sweet Home and the tag shape is from the set called Homemade Holiday Labels.

Here is a little matching card to go with the set:
