New Papercreator Challenge!

Seems like ages since I've blogged (that would be because it is :)
Our new challenge at Papercreator is circles, squares and rectangles and yes you do have to use all 3

For my card here I've used:
Owl ya need is love 6x6 card kit but I've only used one layer of the backing paper and tumble pyramage.
Square: Backing paper and card blank
Circle: Spotlight on image and button
Rectangle: Strip of stripy paper (Shery K designs) and sentiment layer.

Heart die: Whimsy Stamps
Sentiment: Lili of the Valley

Don't forget to nip over to the store and stock up - Mother's Day is on it's way here in the UK at the end of March

Do you think he saw us???

This cute little guy is once again part of the topper Mega Bundle Kit and other than a Lili of the valley sentiment and 2 bits of card candy everything else is included.

Strangely enough I've got several more of these printed off so expect to see a few more shortly...................

Paper: Papercreator & My Minds Eye

Sentiment: Blonde Moments

We're on the last few days of school here at the moment although I don't think my tall child has had a proper lesson for well over a week. She spent Tuesday at an athletics meeting, Wednesday was "enrichment day" and today she's at the Hunger  Humber Games playing Dodgeball!

I am wondering where the last year has gone and how I'm going to survive the next 6 weeks without being destitute at the end of it *grin*

Gone Fishing

This weeks card is for Father's Day which was 16th June here in the UK I made this one for tall child to send to her dad - tongue in cheek sentiment from me lol!

The Papercreator kit I've used is called Good Catch and has sentiments as well as papers and the decoupage for the bear - I've used a sentiment from Lili of the Valley.

Catch up May birthday cards

 Marvin the Monkey from Pollycraft

 Not sure about this one - Designed to Delight maybe? Ticket by Whimsy

 Lili of the Valley and Cuddly Buddly Sentiment

Pollycraft and Blonde Moments sentiment

I've been a rubbish blogger so far this month and I have a lot of birthdays so lots of cards have left Padster towers - anyhoo here they all are.

And I have a new stamp for the back of my cards from Nicky at Stamping All Day there's a huge choice of verses and they're really reasonable - I ordered this one and had it in a couple of days.

Fairytale Friday

Paper: My Minds Eye

Sentiment Stamp: Lili of the Valley

Box: Silhouette

It's Friday again and we're now near to the end of the first week of the school holidays here in the UK - I'm not quite bankrupt yet but ask me again next week.

We have new images as well as a new challenge and a SALE so nip over to the challenge blog to check it out. I've used a really really old image today but with 3 little piggies you get 3 tags you can separate and then enlarge one to make a matching card.

Sometimes it's Safer

To buy your own mothers day present although tall child did also buy me the new Bon Jovi album too **grins** before you faint I didn't pay full price for the stamps although they are Hero Arts so well worth it.

This is the card I made with them - the gingham paper is from Teddy Bo

Paper: Back to Basics III

I've been a really rubbish blogger just recently although saying that I've been quite a rubbish cardmaker as well as I've hardly made any. Here's a few I made but haven't blogged before and I really need to clear out my photo folders

Oh and Happy New Year - better late than never **grins**

Furry Friends at Fussy and Fancy Friday

I think I may have stretched the theme a tiny bit here but Lions and Tigers are definitely furry and Elephants are kind of hairy - and they look kind of friends to qualify for the Furry Friends challenge at Fussy and Fancy this time round it was going to be lions and tigers and bears in true Wizard of Oz style but Jellybean from Whimsy stamps insisted on joining in the fun with paper from Sassy Designs and sentiment from Lili of the Valley

Barry!

This little guy always makes me smile possibly as my older brother is called Barry too - he's from Stampfairy.
The papers are from one of the very first collections from Lili of the Valley so probably qualify as vintage by now it's great what you find when you move..........

The card blank was cut on my Silhouette am so glad I bought some stick and spray from Crafters Companion as it's saved me a fortune on cutting mats.

Challenges:
Ready Teddy Go!
Raise the Bar
Fab n Funky

And I finally conquered the glue as they wouldn't stay sealed without it :0)

Challenges:
Incy Wincy, Anything Goes, Papertake Weekly, Tuesday Throwdown

Thank You!

My lovely friend Rainmac ordered a lot of keyrings and some Disney Christmas ornaments so I made her a card to go in with it.
The image is from High Hopes and as you can see is quite small as the finished card is 4x4

Little bit of black

The challenge at Lili's Little Fairies this week is Black Magic so I coloured up these cute bunnies for my card. I cut the flowers with my brand new Silhouette Cameo - whoop whoop!

I would like to share this with:
My Mum's Craft shop,
Charisma - seeing double
Crafts and Me - add a flower
Pile it on - patterned papers

Lili of the Valley Swing

I just love the cute dog in this image and think it would have been me as a small child if the dog could have got on the swing with me.

I've used My Minds Eye papers with my Tim Holtz doily die.

I would like to share this with:

Lilies little fairies - anything but square, Allsorts - not square,

CRAFT - shaped cards, Crafty Pad - not square

Little Cuties

Claire has been tormenting me with the cute Lili of the Valley bears for weeks so I decided to return the favour with the new xmas set :0)

Papers were free with a mag and sentiments from Imagine That Stamps - I think I may have doubled my selection of xmas stamps lol!

I would like to share them with:

Natalie & Amy - anything goes, Aud's Sentiments - xmas is coming, Charisma (bunny) no embellies

Festive hugs

Confession time - I've had this stamp uninked since I went to the LOTV colouring class in Harrogate last October - smack on wrist.

I have made myself use my First Edition up up and away papers so that must be a brownie point :c)

The layout is from Sketch and  and I would also like to enter the Anything Goes challenge at Lilis Little Fairies

Although it's far too hot and muggy today for anything approaching bouncing!

Hugs

Free Bear

Just a quickie today - someone ate my weekend and I only just managed to get my washing in before it got another rinse..........

This unbelievably cute bear is a Freebie on Whimsy artist Stamp Art Design by Kathryne's Blog

I finally used my Marianne bird and fence dies. The green branch thingy is a Joy craft Flourish die from Teddy Bo.
