Forever Friends..

The Forever Friends challenge this week was a belated Easter challenge- hopefully I can put these cards in for it.

I did put them on my blog last week, so don't know if they will qualify- here's hoping anyway!!!

I decoupaged the designs from the Easter kit with silicone glue, and used papers from the kit & my stash, along with ribbons, quickutz dies, Bazzill card, cuttlebug embossing plate, cards from stash & Craftwork Cards & Creative Memories oval cutting system that I've had for years & forgotten that I had until recently!

I love the Easter bunny with his basket full of little chicks- they are sooo cute!!

Well back to play- I'm still making up cards from the Bubbles & Squeak decoupage kit, which I love also...

I nearly got the Candyfloss & Marshmallow one today also- but ended up getting the new Papermania "Stamping for Him "set which I am itching to use, as I can use the golfer for my Father-in-laws birthday coming up soon.

So many things to do...so little time....

Where oh where....

Whoops lost the award again- can someone out there tell me how to put them & keep these on my blog.

Think must have blog goblins on my blog - one minute they're there, then the next they're gone!! Did try to get it back again tonight, but to no avail.

So sorry to the ladies I nominated, but you'll have to go over to Mrs Wonka's to see what your -"You're blog makes me smile" award should look like- anyway its a good excuse to go & take a look at her super blog!

Look forward to hearing from someone about my problem soon!!!

I Got an Award!!

The lovely Mrs Wonka gave me this award today and I'm really chuffed. -It's cheered me up as feeling sorry for myself at the moment! Why don't you go over to her blog and see the lovely things she creates - she is also part of the Stamp With Us team. I would like to send it back to her also, as her blog makes me smile, but I have to pass it onto 5 other people who do not have this( I hope!)

So in time honoured tradition I would like to pass this award on also to the following talented ladies -

Caz

Mumur

Claudia Rosa

Heidi

Rach

Pop over to their blogs & see all the wonderful creations they make. There are loads of other people I would love to give the award to also, but it would take too long to try to send it to everyone out there in crafting blogland- as everyone deserves to get this award.

Daisy & Dandelion Challenge No 5

Here's my first attempt at the Daisy & Dandelion Challenge. I love the stamps & have just brought the Bubbles 'n' Squeak Decoupage kit- perfect to try out for the challenge this week!

I have used ribbon, paper, paper flowers & button from my stash; sugar coated brads from Doodlebug & rub on sentiment. I have used Glossy Accents on the nose, paws & tummy patch, although I don't think you can see it that well.

I did make another card at the same time from the kit, using papers & ribbon from my stash & dotty paper from the decoupage kit- I thinks she's quite sweet with her dotty flower!

Well back to the TV to catch up with all the

recorded programmes we have got to look at!

Will try to put some photos from our weekend away last weekend to Brugge on my blog. We had a super weekend, weather wasn't too wonderful, but the scenery was great.

Anyway, catch you later, enjoy the rest of your Easter weekend

Stamp With Us 1st Challenge...

Here's my card for the new SU challenge blog Stamp With Us. The challenge finishes Sat evening, so I am just in time with this card.

I have used Mellow Moss & More Mustard card, Haiku paper set, velvet ribbon, button & gems for bling from my stash & SU flower punch. The sentiment is from the Spring Solitude set.

I'm quite pleased with it as I love these colours & the patterned paper & I'm not very good with simple designs.

I'm looking forward to their challenges as I'm becoming a convert to the SU products, and am starting to get a collection of products, but not wanting to use some of the papers!

Anyway, catch you later as its way past my bedtime now and I need all the beauty sleep I can get these days. LOL!!!

A Little Yummy...

I made a gift box using my SU stamps for something other than cards- the box was off the Splitcoaststampers site. It was one made by a very talented lady called Beate Johns & called a One sheet Box- cause all you need is one sheet of paper or card- oh, and some stamped images & ribbon!

I have wanted to make one of these for a while, but couldn't be bothered to do it! Anyway, I had a go & it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, once I read the instructions properly-something I don't normally do, as I tend to read them as I'm doing the project, then wonder why it doesn't make sense or turns out wrong!

Anyway, once made, I wondered what I was going to do with it, then saw a brill idea over on Justine's blog- where she had made up some Easter gifts. So I made up a little bag of choccy eggs to put inside, using my SU set & new Classic Scalloped Rectangle Nestabilities to finish it off.

Now who to give it too....

Hurrah! Hurrah! At last I've finished...

Well, at last I've finished the wedding invites I was asked to do for a colleague at work & she collected them this week!! I'm so glad that they're out the way now- I don't want to see satin ribbon for a while!! I hope she liked them, she seemed pleased with them- but you're not really sure if someone does like what you have done, when they say they do like what you have done!!

Anyway, now I can get back to some card making again- I did do a sneaky couple of cards to keep me sane whilst making the invites though!

These were made from the Forever Friends Family Relations & Easter Surprise Decoupage Kits from CUL.

I also used card blanks & Totally Tropical dots from Craftwork Cards, card, ribbons & paper from my stash, Cuttlebug embossing folders, Quickutz scroll die, glitter glue & SU paper punch.

Sorry the pictures are a bit blurry & the 3D is jumping out at you!

Right, off to look at all those challenges I've been missing out on doing!!!

See you later..
