I'm Back off my holidays

We all had a lovely time in the UK and the weather wasn't too bad.  It was great to catch up with family and friends.

Finally had some time to craft in between the washing and ironing. I think I may have left my craft mojo in England.  It took ages to decide on what to do for this card and it seems very plain to me.

This weeks theme at The Shabby Tea Room is sweet summertime and the challenge is to create a card or project inspired by the photo below and to include flowers and a stamped element.

Here is my card:

The stamped element is the little butterfly under the sentiment and I have made an organza flower.

Here is the inspiration photo

The layout of the card is for the sketch challenge at Mojo Monday.

This card is also for the following challenges:

Divas by Design - challenge 46 flowers

Chocolate coffee and cards - Rainbows and Butterflies

The Great Outdoors

Well I am very sad this week as its my last at Cupcake Craft.  It really gone super fast but I would just like to thank everyone for letting me share my work with you.   I have had a great time.  The challenges have been great fun.

So lets get to this weeks challenge and its all about what you do outside in 'The Great Outdoors' so I have decided to do gardening.

The image is from Sliekje digi stamps which is a great site as all the images are free.  I have coloured the image with promarkers and added some flowers in green and brown.  The backing papers and sentiment are from Pink Petticoat and I have tried to keep the colour scheme earthy using green and brown.

Hope you can join in!!!

The Ocean

Morning all, well I am getting ready to go on my holidays, well just a quick trip to England to see family and friends which I am really excited about. Before I go I have time to tell you about this weeks challenge at Cupcake Craft.  This weeks theme is all about 'The Ocean'

I have used papers and digi stamp from Pink Petticoat, HERE and HERE.  The brown paper at the bottom came from inside a roll of wrapping paper.  I was trying to make the backing papers look a bit like the beach and sea.  I have also added some glitter to the swirls of the paper and the image is coloured with pro markers.

Hope you can pop over and join in the challenge.

More Christmas

Hope you are all having a lovely week.  I have started packing for my week away in England but I haven't got a clue what to take, will I need warm clothes or summer clothes, who knows with the Great British weather.

Well with winter weather in mind here is my card:

I have used stamps from Annabelle Stamps. I won the stamp set for a previous card see Here and Here.  I have just simply stamped the image and added some glitter.  The backing papers are from Pink Petticoat and I have used the colours putty, blossom and turquoise.

The layout is taken from Mojo Monday.

This card is for the following challenges:

Challenge 26 - ho ho ho Christmas - Crafters Companion
Mojo Monday 250
Say It with Christmas - Annabelle Stamps Blog

Oops and I have just realised that the prize for the winner at Annabelle stamps is the same stamp I have got.   Maybe the Belles might like to see what I have done with my new stamp set.

Happy Anninversary

Tomorrow is my Sister in Laws 3rd Wedding Anniversary and just thought I would share the card I have made.

I have a tried to make the card a little special as the little black bow came from the ribbon that was around the wedding favours my Sister in Law made.

The wedding colour scheme was green and black so used a little of those colours.

Here is a little picture to share with you of their special day.  My husband took the photos for them and I love this one, so natural.

This card is for the anything goes challenge at LEJ Designs.

Le Tour de France

Its another fun week of inspiration at Cupcake Craft. This weeks theme is 'Le Tour de France' so any thing French or Tour de France related.

I have been lucky enough to watch the Tour de France pass through my local village.  So here is my take on the challenge.

I have used the colours of the french flag and added a little girl on a bike.  The digi stamp is from Sliekje Digi Stamps and the papers are from Pink Petticoat.  The sentiment is one printed out from the computer and I have wrote Happy Birthday in French.

Say it in......

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.  My daughter and I made white chocolate chip cookies today but she enjoyed making them better than tasting them, such a sweetie.

Well its colour challenge time over at Annabelle Stamps.  I found this weeks challenge hard as I didn't want to make a Christmas card and the colours are just begging to be used for that.

So here is my take and yes of course its Pink Petticoat again.

I really need to get some more craft supplies but the set of digital stamps called With Flowers is so versatile and can be used for all kinds of occasions.

I had added red and green glitter to the digi image and a gem heart.  I have also added a single green flower.  I have decoupage the image to give a bit of dimension.
