Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

hello all for this weeks challenge we had to make our cards 3D well straight away i thought no way i can't do that, but then i thought no i will give it a go. the only way i have acheived the 3d look is by doubling up on the balloons on the lovely tilda so i hope this counts oh and i suppose the balloon wire too??


I've used spotty paper by no name so frustrating when there is no compnay on backs of paper. then tilda coloured in with H20's and stickles. ribbon from stash and then blue balloon from nesties in cuttlebug and bended wire to make it look like balloon ribbon and then added the word party from a peel off.

ABC buttons and stampin for the weekend: pink and grey

Hi all hope everyone having good week, first of al thanks everyone who has recently visited my blog and entering into my blog candy remember this time next week one lucky person will be winning it all so get posting!!

moving along times and penny black saturday challenge

hi all firstly must say that "Sonic" (hedgehog)was spotted again last night happily tucking into cat food again!! i think he must be in the shed or under it.

righto onto my card, this is covering 2 challenges firstly moving along the times with a layout to follow and then penny black challenge was stitching. the stitching has been covered by a cuttlebug folder and also by faux stitching on the blue card.

the stamp is penny black "team effort" coloured in with H2o's, red cardstock ran through stitch folder in cuttlebug

a little visitor!!!!

Oh my goodness what a shocker i had last night, went to put the cats out and top up there food and there he was a hedgehog never had this before i was very excited lol, so i scooped him into a bucket rushed around to get my cmera and then let him out the bucket and offered him some food, he was such a little sweetie. even better Thomas cat seemed quite protective of him which is a good thing, watched him for a while before off he trotted, now wondering whether he shall return, i'll be on night watch now lol. just had to share him with you!!!

Stampin for the weekend

hi all what a wet day. Well here is my effort for this weeks challenge at stampin for the weekend which was to follow a sketch, enjoyed making this card which is a froggy from penny black coloured in with H20's and then backed onto white stash card. Get well backing paper from stash then green card through the cuttlebug and "green garden" backing paper but with no company name on it. added stickles and flowers as well. happy looking!!

what a little production!

hiya all well after a clear out i had noticed i had loads of decoupage sets and just one of those things you never get round to doing, well the last couple of days i just wanted to have them done made and ready for selling so here they are!!


they were all made really simply as wanted out the way to be honest so not that much work gone into them. mainly daisy and dandelion collection, forever friends sets used lots of peel offs and backing papers from again either forever friends or daisy and dandelion collection. so a huge bulk of them out the way got a couple of other sets to do but as i lilke them might put more effort into them lol.
