Funky Fairys Challenge #18 - Baby

Had a bit of a mini grumble this week as I don't need any baby cards so decided to do an ATC for a change - the size is not so frightening now. It's great for using up off cuts of card and those stamps that aren't quite big enough for cards.

Paper is Funky Fairys Doodamentals printed at 1/4 size.
Bunny stamp was from a seller in Malaysia on eBay - I hadn't used it before as it was too small.
Stamped letters from Clever Cut
and flowers from Mei flower used double and all attached with brads.

I was so pleased with it I made another one for DD whose name is an anagram of baby although I couldn't find any embellishments to match. Sounds like an excuse for a spending spree.

Crafty Place May Card Swap

Now I know she got it I can post my Crafty Place May card swap.
Paper is by Cactus Pink from Papermaze
Sentiment from a bargain bin rummage at the Great Northern Papercrafts show.
Winnie the Pooh stamp is one I've had for years and the buttons were cut off an old shirt before it went in the bin!
Do you see a theme here? LOL!

Sketch & Stash Challenge 11

A fabulous sketch to work with. I used:
Neglected - English paper company papers that I bought at Stamp Magic Doncaster ages ago.
New - scalloped circles from an MSE friend
circle punch to make the scallop edging
gold organza ribbon.

I would love to be considered as a guest designer

This is my entry for the crafty pad sketch challenge - I just can't resist a good sketch. A slight change of style for me as it's a bit vintage looking.

10 honest things about me:
1. Balloons scare me.
2. I haven't cleaned my car for 4 years.
3. I hate cooking.
4. I enjoy ironing.
5. I sneak chocolate into the house and eat it when everyone else is out so I don't have to share.
6. I surf the net when I'm supposed to be working.
7. I use all the hot water so I can have a long bath and read my book in peace.
8. I lie about how much I spend on craft stuff
9. I still have boxes of stuff at my mum's 15 years after moving out.
10. I sometimes pretend to be out when my mum rings.

I didn't realise I was so naughty - LOL!

I just happened to need a 2nd birthday card this week so got out my favourite dimension fourth bunny stamp. The papers are Papermania Retro Floral as are the gems

Quick make birthday card

DD had to go to a birthday party this afternoon so I needed a quick make card.

He is Liverpool mad so put the players names into wordle together with the name of the birthday boy and put some footballs on in the team colours.

Creative Inspirations Challenge #8

Fantastic sketch to work with on Creative Inspirations this week.

Paper is by Cactus Pink from Papermaze. The reverse embossed with my cuttlebug. Mounted on brown card from my stash. Layered up with 3 papermania irridescent gems added and some smirk ribbon to finish it off.

Creative card crew - minimalist challenge

Less is more - I love this card - lol!
Paper is Papermania sweet nothings.
Scalloped circle from MSE Rainmac with Woodware tiny message stamped on it.
Coloured the stamped bear with watercolour pencils added some gems, stuck it all together and voila!

Funky Fairys Challenge #16 - Flowers and bling

Got a bit carried away with this one!
Papers are simply swirly printed off in A4 and also in 10x15cms. I traced the swirls on the bigger one with a glitter pen and embossed the design on the smaller one with holographic embossing powder then added stickles accents on each swirl.
Found some pink glitter paper and cut out some flowers and used it to mat the paper and the sentiment which was a free one from the current issue of do crafts creativity.

Not all the glitter shows on the photo!

Funky Fairys Challenge #15

This is my entry for the Funky Fairys challenge for a get well card or gift. I so love all the papers and co-ordinating everything thank you Saveapenny - and I can order without OH hearing the tell tale clunk of the letter box.

Papers are from the doodamentals collection with added card candy from craftwork cards and stamped sentiment using alphabet from clever cuts in purple and embossed. I then added a (slightly wobbly) hand drawn border.

MSE Green challenge

As soon as Rainmac suggested a green card I was straight off to get my Secret Garden papers out.

I don't really do green and have no idea why I bought them but at least I'm using them :c)

A bit of a play!

As it was a bit miserable here today I decided to get my stash out and have a play!

The ATC was a challenge as everything has to be so small but my favourite punched flowers fit on it a treat.

The cutie bear was a stamped image I bought from eBay and used my watercolour pencils on and put it together with the congratulations stamp I picked up from Mad About Cards for £1 yet more flowers a few eyelets and Papermania Sweet Nothings paper. It's based on an idea from the new issue of Do Crafts Creativity magazine.

Furry Purry!

Pansy was moaning that she hadn't appeared on my blog yet so thought I'd better do so to keep her quiet.

Her eyes are really blue but the pic makes her look like the little devil she is!
