I'm off decorating

Hi all,

Just to let you know that I am going to be away the next 10 days, I am sorry I have not been round visiting everyone's blogs as much as normal, I have had a constant stream of visitors so I have been a little run of my feet.

Tomorrow hubby and I are heading down south for a few 10 days, we are off to help some relatives with there decorating!! I am looking forward to catching up with you all when I get back!

Hopefully Mr Bloggy will be publishing a very exciting post for me while I am away!!!!

will catch up with you all when I get back!!

Thank You Donalda

Hi all, It has been a while since I have posted, I have had some visitors over the weekend, and I am getting ready to go away at the end of the week, so I have had no time to craft!!

However last night I went round to a friends house to do some crafting, it was great we drank wine, ate choc's and had a blether..well at least some of the time the rest of it we sat in silence as we were both concentrating so much.

I got chance to have a play with my new magnolia stamp that I got sent from Donalda so thank you Donalda I have loved having a play with my new stamps! If you get a chance please pop across to her blog she has some amazing cards!!

Unfortunately all the paper I used on this card was from my friends scrap box so I have no details sorry!!

The rest of the evening I was working on some stuff ready for my DT post for the new challenge blog By The Cute & Girly If you have not had chance yet, please pop over and have a look. Jane has put so much work into creating this challenge blog and has some amazing sponsors..which will mean brilliant prizes!!

If you have not had a look recently it would be worth popping across to see just who the sponsors are, and also photos of the DT are there, Its great to see the people behind the cards!

The Joys of Blogging....

Well I have to laugh and apologise with this one...This is a little gift card I made for a friend..we got him an e-mail voucher for HMV so there is a little message saying "check your inbox"

Well I had it all ready to give...The recipient was coming over in about 5 min, and I suddenly realised that I had not yet taken a photo, so I quickly tore open the envelope and snapped some photo's and that's why I have to apologise the photo's are shocking..but the whole incident just struck me as extremely funny,

Again the pocket of this card was created by using an envelope and piece of card.

I have used the "manga boy from sugar nellie" the papers are "K&Co Amy Butler - sola collection" The image has been coloured using my whispers pens and have added some faux stitching. I plan on entering this into the following challenges:

Finally I am going to practice using a sheduled post, as I think it is something that I really need to learn how to do, so here's hoping that it will work!!!

Gorjuss Crafting Princess

This is a little gift card I have made for a friend who is celebrating her wedding anniversary. Like me she is totally addicted to craft.

I have made this card by sticking 2 envelopes to a piece of card and then decorating. In one envelope there is a gift voucher for Papercraft in Elgin (home of sugar nellie) and as it may be a while before she will get a chance to go through there and spend her goodies, in the other envelope I am going to put some stamped images.

To make this card, I have used the lovely Grojuss Girls from Sugar Nellie. The paper is "K&Co Amy Butler - Sola collection" The vellum sentiment is also "K&Co"
It has then been finished off with Prima flowers, a few pearls, some peel off swirls and dots.

I plan on entering this into the following challenges:

Embellished Mojo

Well...what a week!! My lovely parcel from Emma arrived this morning! So I am looking forward to having a play and I will show you all the results!! I also won another bit of candy last night from the gorgeous designer Melanie http://melaniemuenchinger.blogspot.com/ please check out her blog..she has some gorgeous creations over there!!

Finally got round to doing my Mojo card..I have used "Stampendous!-classic anniversary" stamp. and my "Papermania - touch of pink" have come out the box again..They are just so striking! definatly a fav of mine!!

This is my entry for: http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/

Also I wanted to embellish it with black flowers, but I didn't have any so all of these have been attacked with black stazon ink!! My craft room..scissors and fingers are probably now permanently stained!! I love flowers..but my absolute Fav embellishment has to be gems..I have used "Kanban" Gems in the centre of the flowers and the black gems are "Prima - say it in swirls"

Its also my entry for: http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/ the theme there is "Embellish it"

P.S - the strip across the bottom of the card looks totally squint!! It really is not in real life, you can tell by looking at the pattern..must be some strange optical illusion thing!! weird!!

Well off to make the best of the afternoon and fit as much card making in as I can!!
