Welcome little one...

Whooo-hooo! Today I can share with you my first official CDT piece for Pink Petticoat - I love that I can type that!

Our theme for this weeks inspiration is "Pretty Pastels"...

Papers (including Kraft): Vintage Roses

Sentiment: Sentiment Ribbons

Silk ribbon and buttons from the overflowing stash pile

There's lots of Pretty Pastel inspiration over on the Pink Petticoat blog this week - do check it out!

Hugs,

B is for...

Heya all :D
I have another bit of whimsical pretty-prettiness to show today - apologies to anyone who came looking for a cute card!

I don't have a whole lot to add about this li'l hanger - lots of my beloved crackle paint and crumpled up twill came out to play, it's sounding like a shabby disaster already!

It does kinda fit in with the Crafty Angels "Shabby Chic" challenge, although yeah, more shabbiness than chicness methinks!

Hope you're having a great day!
Hugs,

Hello Baby...

Hey all, just a quick post today to show you a card I made for the new Craftalicious challenge
- I couldn't resist making a new baby card!

I've long admired Eline Pellinkhof's work - just adorable! You can find lots of her gorgeous baby images over at Squigglefly

I couldn't resist adding a mini Giraffe to the inside of the card too :D

Have a great Saturday!
Hugs,

Huh?

Couldn't resist inking up this li'l fella when I saw him in amongst my "patiently awaiting attention" stamp pile - isn't he just a darlin'?!

Papers and stamp can both be found over at Dies to Die For
{make sure you check out all the new Stampavie releases while you're over there!}

I made this li'l sweetie for the One Stop Craft's "Spots And Dots" challenge :D
I'm on a post and run again today - big thank you's for all the lovely comments and visits, they're very much appreciated :D

Sooooo, with a quick "Happy Mother's Day" to all the UK mum's, I'm off!
Catch ya laters,

Tears and tantrums...

Sooooooo, who thought it'd be a really good idea to try & cut a star out of chipboard with a long past retirement age Sizzix machine & a skinny li'l die she found in a drawer?



Me?



As if...



But just in case you were thinking of doing this, I'd have to warn you not to - the resulting crack as a bit of said Sizzix machine falls off followed by howls of rage from the person doing the cutting {which may then be followed by howls of laughter from anyone else in the room}, is not terribly nice...



The Dutch Dare challenge for this week is Dies & Punches - lots of fab inspiration from the DT as always {and I bet none of them broke a die cutter in the process of making their card...}, thanks for the {very challenging} challenge girls!


Hugs,

Can you say obsessed?

A super quick baby card today (why yes, that is more October Afternoon you spy...)

This is actually for one half of a brand new pair of twins, there's a pink version to share with you tomorrow :) (no, you don't get a prize for guessing the pp make...heehee)

October Afternoon "Weathervane" pp,

Thickers,

Doodlebug Alpha rub-ons,

Ribbon & button from stash.

Happy Monday all!

*Llongyfarchiadau Jacqui!*

**a.k.a What is the daftest Welsh word you can put on a card?

As soon as I saw the challenge over at the Scrummy Stash Cafe I giggled ~ time to dig out a stack of alphabet rub-ons & turn a card Welsh!



This is on its way to Jacqui who has just become Grandma to the very cute Charlie ~ head on over to her blog for some adorable pics :)

Cos I've used some BG Oh Baby! Boy pp I can sneakily enter this into the new BG challenge blog too ;)



Llongyfarchiadau really is Congratulations in welsh not just a word I made up to get rid of some leftover rub-ons!

Cuties...

A few li'l sweeties that were made for a couple of forum challenges ~ how stinkin' cute is that giraffe?!

New Beginnings...

Well peeps, here's my first DT card for the rather fabby Cute Card Thursday :)
Another quickie post from me today ~ blogger doesn't want to play with me :(
You can see the rest of the DT's gorgeousness here ~ come & join in the fun!

Oh, & if anyone's spotted my big, fat mistake on this card ~ ssssshhhh, don't tell... ;)

Going digidol*...

Just had to have a play with these yummy Prima Hybrid downloads & the end result fits perfectly with the latest challenges over at Papertake Weekly & Arty Girlz. Oooooh & the little birdie means it fits in with the My Time to Craft challenge too!

Picture's rather shabby, not sure why ~ it couldn't possibly be my {lack of} photography skills, could it?

*Digidol is Digital in welsh, but funnier...well it makes me giggle anyway ;)

baby, baby...

This weeks theme over at Tilda & co is babies ~ as it happens two little babies arrived this week, so big congrats to Ellie & Joe!

You can join in the challenge fun here :)

new...

here's my 'new' li'l munchkin card for this weeks DCM dare - i seem to be surrounded by new babies at the mo & found out this morning that one of my bestest friends is pregnant - whoo-hoo!!!!!

still no mojo...

...but i was asked earlier to make a baby card. thought i'd try to tie it in with a challenge so that i've done at least one!
i found this oh-so-cute provo craft paper hidden away in a drawer & thought i'd have a little doodle, not entirely happy with this little fella, but he'll do! he was then watercoloured - perfect for the latest Scrummy Stash Cafe colour it in challenge!

spotty babies!

found out today that some good friends are expecting their first little munchkin ~ congratulations gareth & phil!
so obviously the first thing i did was make them a card...

the arty girlz challenge this week is to use spots/dots or circles ~ i want extra points for the spotty paper, rounded corners & rather round lola!

papers & images from pink petticoat, ribbon from little silver hat, swirly ribbon clip {oooh, another circle!} from poppicrafts

in stitches...

when i saw this weeks stitches challenge over at Arty Girlz i got really excited & had all sorts of big ideas about my new role as a seamstress. "so where ARE the stitches?" i hear you ask ~ look very, very closely, i just about managed to sew the buttons on...


cardstock, pp & buttons are all scraps, sentiment & star template from pink petticoat

i did another one!

had to make a new baby card anyways & this sketch on Di Hickmans blog was perfect ~ i wanted a simple, not-at-all fussy card, that was still pretty ~ hope i managed it! pic's not brilliant, sorry! the quote says "a new baby is like the beginning of all things - wonder, hope, and a dream of possibilites" sweet!

pp is DCWV, bazzill cardstock, quote tag by my mind's eye, ribbon little silver hat, button from my li'l bits basket
