Anything goes at Papercreator

 It's anything goes this time at Papercreator so with me being really awkward I've made my first Christmas card of 2014 *shudders* with the 8x8 decoupage layers from the Scrumptious Quick Card front kit  in this one you get a card front and layers in both 6x6 and 8x8 sizes and it only costs £1 - bargain

I thought I'd show a picture of what I used the gingham paper is by Pretty Grafik and the pack was a bargain at 60p as there's a sale on there at the minute. The candy cane ribbon can be ordered from me I have it in green as well.

Papercreator New Challenge

It's time yet again for another challenge over at Papercreator and this time the theme is weddings and anniversaries. So I've used this tongue in cheek set called Perfect Pair

I've used the backing paper and the pear topper and I've then printed and cut the small flower out 3 times from one of the smaller toppers and added buttons and ribbon.
The sentiment is a stamp by Whimsy.
If you like the lime green ribbon I have it for sale in my eBay listing - HERE

Happy creating

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 

Ikkle Bunny

Another one from the Papercreator mega bundle of toppers - this bunny comes in a square but I had to cut her out for my card as she just didn't look right with the circular base. As with all the others you get a sheet of toppers and an A4 backing paper sheet although this stars one is a left over from a Forever Friends kit 

Papercreator Challenge

Well it's only a week later than it was supposed to be - the last week of the school holidays always goes by in a flash fortunately! I've used a topper set for my card today called Little Dress - it's available as part of a mega bundle which has loads and loads of toppers for just about every card imaginable or you can get the 6x6 card kit HERE

I only added a couple of flowers a few buttons and some ribbon and here's my card it is actually bright pink but it was far too bright when I took the picture

Quick and very Pink

Sometimes a card just falls together and this one with a cute Bugaboo girl was one of those. Can't beat polka dots and throwing a load of buttons at a card to finish it off.

Think Pink - Papercreator challenge

I can't believe it's time for another challenge at Papercreator already and this time our theme is Think Pink!

For my card I've used:
Something Old Something New Flipper Pyramage Kit (just the main layer)
Paper: Nitwits - Warm Fuzzies
Heart die cut & Ticket Sentiments : Whimsy Stamps
Gems: £1 shop
Card Base - Silhouette Cameo

Father's Day Tomorrow

I always try to make my Father-In-Law a Scottish and preferably Isle of Lewis themed fathers' day and birthday card. It seemed like a good idea at the time but 10 years later I'm kind of struggling.................

This is an image off the internet that I've printed onto photo paper for a bit of a shine and matted and layered onto a DL card then added some tartan ribbon which is similar to the correct Morrison one.

Button it at Fussy and Fancy Friday

It was my turn to choose the challenge at Fussy and Fancy Friday this time and as I may have a few buttons lying around I chose that as my theme

I've used the Papercraftor button flowers decoupage kit today for a Birthday come New Home card - how cute is that button backing paper????
The sentiment is a really really old one that I bought years ago from the GNPE at Harrogate.

Teddy Bea Communion card

 Image: TEDDYBEA_078

Paper: Memory Box

Embossed Hearts: Cuttlebug border folder

Sentiment: Computer Generated

I'd never made a Communion card before so was excited to receive a request for a personalised one.

The lady who commissioned it loved it - fortunately

Bear and Owls - for a couple of cuties

This is the Just Because 6x6 card kit although I have added a bit of embossed kraft card, matted the layers onto mirror cards and cut a out a couple of flowers rather than decoupaging him. The sentiment is a Wellington bear one

If you don't want a full card kit there are also just toppers like these Owl ones that also includes a backing paper although mine is a First Edition Daydream one cut in an arched window using my Silhouette. The sentiment is a Lili of the Valley one.

As I had a couple of images spare I used them to put on the front of a couple of notepads that I keep handy.

Old Bear Friends

I'm a tad late with my Papercreator post today - I blame the rubbish weather and the short week!

Today I've used the Friends DL card kit just printing the layers and the papers out. I used one layer on the card above and the other one to make a second card adding my own wording with some letter stamps and a bit of ribbon

Old wedding Stamp

Hands up who has this really really old Anita's stamp? It's still great for effective wedding cards. I've cut the background here from My Minds Eye Bohemia paper using a background cut file from Birds Cards and just added some Meiflower pearls and a ribbon bow.

Fairytale Friday

Paper: My Minds Eye

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.

Happy Fairytale Good Friday to You

Paper: Teddy Bo & Co

Is it really Friday again already? We're still holding our spring themed challenge over at the Teddy Bo challenge blog so why not grab some bouncy fur and enter

There's a Bee on Your Nose

I just love this image by Sassy Cheryl of my first bear love although I will admit to preferring Eeyore if the chips were down and it's almost 16 years since I went to play pooh sticks at the actual real life bridge

I had also printed the image out a bit smaller so made a matching post it note holder

Spring has Sprung

After a couple of lovely days its been all grey and damp and miserable here to day so I thought I'd cheer you up with something bright and springy.

This is another of Whimsy's new releases for this month called Tulip Umbrella by Stampartdesign

Oldie but a goodie - backing paper is at least 4 years old 

Teddy Bo almost Saturday

Image: TEDDYBEA_098

Paper: Neapolitan Dreams By Moon Cookie Gallery

Card Base: Silhouette Cameo

I had this week planned out almost to the hour but it all went wrong yesterday when I was running round clearing up after you lot and had to take tall child to the Orthodontist.

I was late picking her up then he told her she would be having a fixed brace next visit and would possibly have to have teeth removed to get them all in line - queue major wobbly!!!!

Stupidly I suggested we went shopping on the way back to spend her birthday money (which she hasn't had yet) - 2 hours later a fair bit stood outside the changing rooms in Primark.

Nipped into Morrisons on the way home for 4 packets of Scotch Pies and 2 Haggis and finally got home at half 5 then realised I'd done no ironing and no-one had any shirts.

I was going to get my card done first thing this morning but woke up feeling like Mrs Rank  from Rank Street in Rank Town so finally got it done this afternoon.

Anyhoo you still have a few days to enter our anything goes challenge at Teddy Bo before we have a new bumper release of bears on Tuesday and a brand new bouncy challenge.

I would like to enter Ready Teddy Go - mum's the word

Fairytale Friday Again!

Paper: Wild Rose Studio

Sentiment: Craftwork Cards

It's been half term here this week so at least I kind of got a bit of a lay in once he who must be ignored had gone off to work - although the first part of the week without the car was a bit of a strain but cheaper than paying for the hire car while we were waiting for his real car to be ready.

I've used another coloured image today as sometimes I just can't be bothered to match and shade and it's so quick and easy **grins** And remember our anything goes challenge is still running
