Another challenge at Papercreator

I've been even more rubbish than usual at blogging later I'm finding it increasingly difficult to keep all the balls in the air at once and it's so much easier with Facebook and Twitter coz I can do that straight from my phone.

Anyhow enough whining I'm hoping the sky looks like as I'm doing my very first outdoor market stall at Driffield and have now started selling ribbon by the metre to get people to stand and rummage at my stall.

The challenge at Papercreator today is flowers and bows on my card I've used:
Image: A penny for your thoughts
Backing Paper: Pink Petticoat
Grass: Card embossed with Cuttlebug daisy embossing folder
Flowers: Papermania
Bows: Meiflower
Sentiment: Bo Bunny Birthday CD 

Purple Owl Purple Owl...............

I've used another topper from the Papercreator Mega Bundle kit today - this cute purple owl. There are loads in the kit and each one comes with an A4 sheet of toppers plus a matching backing paper. I've just added a sentiment and some gems and the jobs a good un!

Fairytale Friday

Image: TEDDYBOBEA_TABS002 Three Little Piggies

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.

Now for something completely different

I've been lusting over this stamp for absolutely ages and imagine my delight when I found it reduced to one our English pounds in the Range a couple of weeks ago along with the hydrangea one. I don't normally do grown up flowers but I luuuurve tulips and hydrangeas.

I also used a really odd promarker colour combination as I wanted them a reddy orange to go with the My minds eye papers so tried burnt orange, spice and lipstick read

Thinking

It's amazing what you find when you have a rummage. I know I printed this off at least 9 months ago as that's when I packed my craft room up to move but needs must when the printer's dry.

D'Arcy Day - Mid Challenge

Now much as I hate to use the "O" word I have a sneaky suspicion that I may have a wee bit of packing to do in the next few weeks so made this last week while I had some time :c)

I also seem to be running backwards and forwards to school to pick up tall child who is in the school netball team - she sure doesn't get that from me!

Don't let anyone tell you I don't use my distress inks - they make a great card stand lol!

A noseless one

I now have a very small collection of Tildas and boy is this one small!!!

It really does make her difficult to use on a relatively unfussy card so I went for busy paper it's First Edition but I have no idea which pad :c)

The dies cuts have been embossed with a Craft Concepts folder called wings - now used :c)

The little butterflies are a green woodware punch

Sentiment by Craftwork cards

Sticky gems and Pearls from Meiflower

Hope you had a great day!!

As it's tall child's birthday tomorrow we went go-karting and even though I only watched we had a great time - it was much more civilised to take a group of almost 12 year olds out than have a screaming hall full of small people although I drew the short straw and had a car full of giggling yapping girls for an hour lol!
