Friday Again

Paper: Papermania

Frame: Silhouette Cameo

Another frame this week - I took it to a craft fair and it sold straight away - not surprising with such a cute bear

Caravan Card

My husband asked me to make a retirement card for someone at work who had just bought a caravan.
This topper set from Papercreator called Gone Camping was just perfect for what I wanted and was easily made to fit the A5 card so there was enough room for everyone to sign it.

A sentiment from Imagine that stamps and some papermania flowers with button centre and the card was sorted

Paper Creator Challenge

It's time for my first challenge over at Paper Creator's Crafts  today and we have a nice easy theme of Anything Goes to ease me in gently. I've used the Sail Away card kit for my card although I have added an extra paper layer from the Nitwits Ahoy captain kit which I already had but had never used.

The ship's wheels were a free Silhouette file from Cuttable.com and the sentiment is a Wellington Bear one.
Please nip over and join in with our challenge as there's a great prize and loads of brilliant products in the store

More Ears

When I was making Noah is all ears I decided Sally couldn't be left out so here she is starring on her own card.

Paper: Papermania Henbury Lane
Sentiment: Wellington Bear

Lickle Bear

Sometimes you just don't end up with the card you started off with. This was originally supposed to be a Teddy Bea card but I was having one of those days when nothing was coming out the printer the right size.

I printed this cute little Meljen's bear almost a year ago and finally coloured him during the week when I was throwing a hissy fit as the lawnmower wouldn't start (turns out you have to put petrol in the thing!).

The card base with the branch is from birdscards.com although I made my own flowers with my EK success punch and added a Whimsy sentiment.

I would like to enter this into Ready Teddy Go, Opus Gluei, Di's Digi Designs

Bit of a collage

All these stamps were from a set in a magazine - I must admit to having a bit of a thing about beach huts and deckchairs so you may well see these ones again - great for stinky big boys :0)

I would like to enter this into 365 Cards nautical challenge

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

End of Year Catch Up

 I think this is the last of last years non Christmas cards to show you - all made in a hurry 2 with digis that had been printed out before we moved in May I can't even remember where the top one is from!

 This one is digistamp boutique with a scrap of MME paper and card blank made myself from hammer card - you'll see a lot more of these this year as I have found a load of envelopes

Cheats card for step dad made from Michael Miller Die cut sheet and some paper that came out of the ark I think.

Teddy Bo Tuesday

OK so Tuesday is nearly over but better late than never - you still have a few days to enter our Red, White, Blue and Bling challenge over at Teddy Bo.

As it's a team A challenge at the moment I was also supposed to use a new image but unfortunately I got in a bit of a muddle and used one from a previous release - I hope I don't get sacked.

New Baby at Fussy and Fancy Friday

Whoo Hoo! It's my first DT post for Fussy and Fancy Friday - seems ages since I announced I was joining the team! Anyhoo our theme for the next fortnight is New Baby.

I love blue so I've used Humphrey to make a gift set of card, gift box and tag

I so loved colouring this cute little guy from Crafter's Companion and teamed him with Papermania paper and Die cut stars using Cuttlebug dies and a star embossing folder.

Please pop over to the challenge blog and see what my teamies have created this time.

D'Arcy's Diaries - Mid Challenge Reminder

It's the second week of our use at least 3 flowers challenge at D'Arcy's Diaries - I'm sure this theme was chosen especially with me in mind PAH!

Trusty Papermania blossoms and card candy to the rescue lol!

I've used DARCYSDIARIES_032 and chopped her tail off as she's a mermaid - I seem to be doing a lot of that just at the moment but I have a real problem with colouring shoes and feet (or tails)

The paper which I've embossed to hopefully look like bubbles is First Edition and the sentiment is a discontinued Pollycraft stamp.

Watery Seaweedy Hugs

No1 & 2 girls

Cre8tive hands is doing a whole series of these number bears - I think it's up to no 8 today - I've added a couple of flower gems to mine. I would like to enter the Craft Your Passion dots challenge with this one

I had great plans to make several with lots of different ages on but as I have the attention span of a gnat I got bored so have a boy 2 and both boy and girl 3 sat on my desk looking at me in a really cute way lol!

I will get them made eventually

Counting hugs
