Hello all, was at a crop yesterday called ScrapATTACK in Motherwell, it was fab. It was my second time there (its really new) and Janice and Florence and the girls made my friend and I really welcome.

Cute Card Thursday Challenge - Get Edgy

This weeks challenge was to distress or tear the edges of your card, so I used Basic Grey Wisteria paper and embellishments (from Craft at Home). I tore and inked the edges in purple and made what I call Allisons flower by ripping and inking the paper again. The stamped image is also from Allison, which I then watercoloured in and decoupaged. great stamp I love it.

Sketch Saturday and 'Girls Night In

Had a great night last night my pals Allison and Tina were over for a crafty girls night in. Allison brought her new Sugar Nellie stamps (what a bonus for us!!!) so we had fun with them. The gorguss girl is the cutest and the other stamp by Leanne Ellis was my favourite so that is the one I chose for using for Sketch Saturday. The papers on both and the flowers onare from Prima. I used watercolours to colour in both images. Allison brought her Copics but I still cant get to grips with them yet. Anyway we had a great time and I hope you are all having a Happy Easter!!!

Cute Card Thursday - Challenge 55 Marshmallows and Chocolate

This weeks challenge was to use pink and brown on your card. A lot of the things I used were in a goody bag I bought from Craftwork cards, eg, the paper, the flowers, the card candy and the sentiment. The stamp is Penny Black Cheescake Wishes and I used a scallop circle punch to stamp on and stamped again on a piece of spare card and than watercoloured and decoupaged. The ribbon is from my stash.

I loved this challenge, love pink and brown together.

Hello all

Just so excited cos I have won last weeks CCT prize. I dont know if its a random selection and I just got lucky and I couldnt care less, its my first challenge win and Im as happy as a pig in the proverbial!!!

Also just to let you know that I have just signed up to be a Stampin Up demonstrator. I am the only one in my local area, the closest other demonstrators are in Glasgow and Edinburgh, I am the only one in South Lanarkshire (Hamilton/Motherwell etc.)

Hope you have a great day, mine is sure starting out well.

Happy Easter

Penny Black Saturday Challenge Easter Theme

Well doing all these challenges is one way of getting my Easter cards done. The image on this card is courtesy of Allison who stamped me a few out. I didnt have to do much to the little bunny just a touch of colour and glitter and I cut and decoupaged one layer. The paper is Pink Petticoat Sweet Flourishes download well technically it is the washed out download with the flourishes printed on top which was a happy accident by the way. I also printed the flourishes on to vellum and ripped a piece, inked the edges and attached it onto some white card with the brads. Finally added some flowers and gems. Was determined to get this card posted right away as I seem to be getting later and later with my challenge posts.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog
