May the spirit of Christmas be with you Son.

Hi Everyone!

It's been a few weeks since my last post because if you read the post below you will know my sister just had her beautiful baby girl 'Erica'. I'm so thrilled as I was the only sibling to have had children so I'm now a very proud Auntie! 

Today's card is one I have made for my oldest son Owen. Yes I'm still slugging away at the Christmas cards and still have quite a few to make!

I love these digis I purchased last year from 'Angels Landing'.

I used my Labels 13 nesties to make the card base and ran it though the cuttlebug to emboss with snowflakes. I then added some Silver stickles to highlight.

I hope you guys are more organised than me and are well on your way with Christmas duties. I do have a bit of an excuse however as I was crazy enough to have the builders in to rip out my old bathroom out last week in the middle of all the snow. They are just doing the finishing touches now so hopefully  we can get back to normal........for a while! lol

 Hi Everyone,

I went for my 20 week baby scan  last Thursday and little Baba looked so cute and adorable but most importantly was all healthy and well ;0) It is such a relief when the sonographer tells you baby looks fine and you see that little heart beating! Well we did find out the sex but we haven't yet decided whether or not to tell anyone or keep it a surprise? We will have to see ;0)

Anyway I made a start on my Christmas cards a couple of days ago using these adorable new digis from The Pink Cat Studio. 
I made the sentiments myself.

Stamp Something - Think Pink

A Spoonful of Sugar - Relish to Embelish

Stamp with Fun -  All that can Fly

I have used all the images and tried to keep them simple but effective so I can make them in bulk. Now I have been asked if I would sell these in a pack of say 5 and was wondering if anyone could advice me on a reasonable price you think I should suggest?

 I will be making more and Regina from The Cutting Cafe' has just released some fab Christmas digis so I will be using them also.

I have entered some of the cards into the following challenges:

Trick Or Treat Smell My Feet Give Me Something Good To Eat!

 Good Evening All ;0)

I'm back again with yet another Halloween creation. I must admit I'm really enjoying myself crafting again after the big break and the morning sickness seems to have definitely got much better. I say this with a caution as I dare not speak too soon and this comment come back to bite me! Also I have my 20 week scan next Thursday and I really can't wait. I think we will be finding out the sex too as I'm much too impatient to wait another 20 weeks lol.

Anyway here is my card today and it is using another cute one of 'Marvin candy apple' which you can find here from The Stamping Bazzar.

I have well and truly fell in love this adorable little guy! Again I coloured him using Coloursoft Pencils and blended  with baby oil.

Not too sure if you can see the dimension but I attached him to the card using 3d foams and I also added some glitter stickles to the Toffee Apple if you can see them. It reminds me of toffee apples when I was a little girl and they were covered in coconut......delicious!

The sewing is not perfect but I'll get there I'm sure ;0)

Fright Night

Hello Everyone!

I'm still doing Halloween creations and here is one I made this morning. 

Nothing too fancy just a fun card with a bit of dimension and bright colour!

The Frankenstein image is a free download by Dawn Moore and you can find him and others here ;0)

Just go down the page on the left hand side and you will find a list of free images which Dawn kindly offers.

The sentiment is from a dingbat I purchased from ScrapNfonts ages ago.

I'm really trying to use some of the many purchases I have and have never used (very naughty I know)!

The stitching is something I need to work on but I thought it worked well the image and the bat is a cut on my pazzle.
I'm also entering this card into this weeks 'Anything Goes' challenge over at Top Tip Tuesday.

Batty 4u

Good Evening All :0)

 I am truly in the Halloween spirit at the moment and decided to get Owen and Harvey's cards done first in case I run out of time!

Well not that I need an excuse to purchase craft goods but I thought I would  have a look around for some cute images and I come across a place called The Stamping Bazaar. I instantly took a liking to this cute little guy called 'Marvin Trick or Treat' 

 I was lucky enough to purchase 3 different images of him for $10. This is for a limited time only so hurry if you want to grab these cuties!

I coloured him using my Derwent coloursoft pencils and blended with oil.

The sentiment is available from The Cutting Cafe' from a set called 'Halloween Time'.

It's also time for The Cutting Cafe' Monthly Inspiration and the design team never fails to inspire me with all the wonderful creations. I'm so proud to be part of this team ;0)

The little bat embellishment was cut out on my pazzle and highlighted with my silver marker.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs

spooky set

Here is another Halloween creation I have done on the pazzle using images from scrapnfonts.
I had great fun making the treat box which would make a great duo along with the card for halloween.

The border on the card was made using the 'Multi-Shaper' from Dovecraft.

Hocus Pocus & Boo

I am really feeling more excited about my pazzle everyday as I learn more & more what it can do!!!!!

I have found after much trial and error that even without an optical eye you can print and cut around your chosen design. I am loving the haunted bundle from scrapnfonts at the moment and I am having so much fun doing the Halloween stuff.

Here are a couple of cards I have done both on the pazzle and all the images are from scrapnfonts.

Strawberry Kisses

Hi Everyone,

Not been blogging for a while but I am now up and ready to craft again!!

I did this card this morning using the cupcake image from scrapnfonts ( which I love)!!!

I used a 5 x 7" card and the paper is from the gorgeous new collection 'Nanas Nursery Girl' from DCWV. I cut the green flourish from Accent essentials at 3.3/4" and then added the cupcake image which I printed 3 times and layered. I added some skittles and a couple of embelishments.

Paper & buttons both available from http://www.dottydocrafts.com/

I have also learnt how to share cut files so I will go through my blog and add the link to each project using DS.

Birthday Lion

Hi Everyone,
Just a simple card I made earlier today, I am trying to get motivated again after the flu!
Paper is DCWV 'Retro' stack layered on a 4x6 card base.
The lion image is a download from scrapnfonts and I added some yellow skittles to embelish.
Hope you all had a fab weekend!

Cheer Up & Get Out Of That Mood!

Hi Everyone, I was so eager to use these fab new images from pinkpetticoat this morning so I decided to put my creative cap on and came up with this. I have had this cow paper for ages but never done anything with it so this was the ideal project for it. I printed the image on white card and coloured it using Derwent Aquatones. The card was cut on the cricut using Plantin Schoolbook (italic) Envelope was also done on cricut again using PS cart (italic) using fit to page on 12 x 12 mat. Ribbon, brad & Gingham flower all from http://www.dottydocrafts.com/

Have a fab Weekend!

You're So Very Tweet!

Evening Everyone, Hope you have had a great Monday. When I got up this morning I planned on going in the garden with my toddler, Laptop & accessories to craft While Harvey played in the sunshine! Well let's say it didn't happen because Mr Sunshine decided to go back in! I have not been very creative today just very busy with one very lively little boy.

Anyway here is a card I made very early hrs this morning with this adorable little birdie from pinkpetticoat. I love the fact he is wearing wellies which are almost identical to some I have! I used pastel pinks & blues for the colour & added a little green to make him pop.

Ooh La La

2 Cards I made using images from pinkpetticoat. I love this site especially as I can download 24/7!!!,
