Flowers & Pearls

There's a new challenge over at Fussy & Fancy Friday today and this one was a bit of a struggle for me as theme is FLOWERS and pearls. I don't own any of those posh flowers so out came my absolute favourite EK success flower punches so Bea had a carpet to stand on.

Please nip on over to the challenge blog to see what the rest of the team have made this time and leave them some love

Challenges:
Card makin mamas
Raise the Bar
Stampin for the weekend

That Flying Bear again

I made another card with the flying balloon Bea for today's Fairytale Friday - not sure how I ended up using pink though lol!

I cut the card base and mat with my Silhouette - easy peasy.

Sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps

Christmas Decorations

Firstly a huge wave to all my new followers - thanks for joining me

 I've been doing some Christmas stitching in the hope of getting some stock for the fairs I'm doing in November

I really have no idea what will sell but am kind of (as I'm really shy IRL) looking forward to the experience!

Couldn't put these down......

1 painting, 2 women separated by nearly 100 years - I read this in 4 days need I say any more!

I also loved this one......


although she has got to be one of the most unlucky girls ever it does make a good read. Fabulous if you like a period drama style book and want to lose yourself for a few hours.

A Sprinkling of Christmas

I got a bit carried away with this image this week - mainly coz it's a pre-coloured one so i didn't have to worry about going outwith the lines on such tiny images

So carried away in fact that I made 5 cards

 And couldn't get the pics to line up lol!

It's still anything goes over at The Challenge Blog so why not join in?

I've used:

TEDDYBOBEA_145 and one digital paper pack from Cuddly Buddly called Silent Night.

 Sentiment set is by Imagine That Stamps

Various Nellie Snellen, Sizzix and Spellbinder dies

so making all these cards needn't even break the bank
