Hot & Spicy...

As soon as I saw the latest DCM challenge I knew I had to make a Bella card ~ well look at her, she knows she's hot!
I've just realised how awful the pic is ~ I'll pop a new one on tomorrow!

Sunshine...

Just a quick post, the sun is shining gloriously so I'm going to hang out the washing then sit at my craft desk to make the most of some actual real daylight!
This is my take on this weeks Daring Cardmakers sketch {made with odds & ends I found after my mammoth tidy a few days ago}, after once declaring I hated sketch challenges {possibly something to do with me not liking being told what to do...} I'm quite liking them now!
Hope the sun is shining wherever you are :)

i'm far too tired to be blogging...

...but i had a rather crafty moment when i got in from work!

first pic is of my card for this weeks Papertake Weekly yummy "food for thought" challenge - there's nothing yummier than cake in my opinion!

second is for DCM's inside & out challenge - i've used acetate & some lurvely double-sided pp - pic isn't fab, if anyone has any tips on photographing acetate please let me know!!!

everything i've used is from Scrummy Stash Cafe's gorgeous Salsa kit {except the acetate!}

i'm back...

...did you miss me?! well i know lovely Dawn did cos she she left me a message ~ thanks honey!
my kids were on half term last week so i grudgingly left all crafting to them ~ my desk is {amazingly} even more messy now!
and look who arrived this week ~ isn't she gorgeous! still waiting for the other two though... still lovely Tilda just had to come out & play for this weeks DCM challenge ~ i hand-cut Tilda, the pp, the square she's mounted on AND the string...!

i've also been tagged by Terrie, Anne & Jeannette ~ thanks girls, i will get round to that soon!


image is the gorgeous tilda, all card, button & string are scraps, pp basic grey blush

friends...

here's my card for the Daring Cardmakers 1st birthday challenge. definately a challenge for me cos i do tend to shy away from circles!

happy 1st birthday DCM!

pp basic grey blush, cardstock & string from my stash, hearts cut with the thin cuts heart #2 die, sentiment printed by me using a 2peas font.

o christmas tree...

santa's little extra helper over at Daring Cardmakers is "o christmas tree". couldn't resist printing off one of pink petticoat's new lola's ~ isn't she just gorgeous?! i haven't played with the new one's much yet, so i really enjoyed this!

not much on this one {makes a change for me!} :bazzill cardstock, lola rose image, little silver hat ribbons.

dino-tastic...

this weeks Daring Cardmakers challenge is called "where the wild things are" & was sooo perfect! my eldest is off to a party tomorrow & i just couldn't think what card to make! soon as i saw this challenge i remembered these dino's i downloaded ages ago {will post where from as soon as i can remember...}

i've just realised these are the same papers i used on last weeks challenge ~ ooops!

hope everyone has a great weekend :)

card from my stash, pp making memories, ribbon little silver hat, dino & sentiment printed on my pc

santa's magic key...

here's my card for this weeks Daring Cardmakers little extra challenge, which is to make a christmas card with words as the focal point.
i've seen lots of these "magic keys" about & thought it'd be sweet to put one on a card!
i'm soooooo pleased i've managed to make this ~ every time i go for a blog-hop i see so many lovely christmas cards & all it does is remind me that i REALLY need to get my crafty christmas mojo going!
