Dream Valley Challenges

Hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend.  I have had a pleasant easy day today.  As it is bank holiday tomorrow my daughter has popped home from uni for the weekend.  She has her last exam on May 17th and then the agonising wait for her results.  We keep telling her she has to graduate now as we have already paid for the hotel stay in Manchester and graduation tickets lol.

Anyway, I am a bit late posting this, sorry ladies.  Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Dream Valley Challenges.  Our theme for this fortnight is:
No Squares Allowed

So show us your shapely creations to be in with a chance of winning our sponsor prize from Crafty Ribbons. The prize is a £10 gift voucher.


I used a lovely vintage step card blank from Whichcraft for my project.  I used some pink patterned paper from my stash box which I distressed with some distress ink.  The sentiment that I used as the focal image is a peeloff that I have had for a couple of years.  For embellishments I used some swirls that came with the card blanks, roses, butterflies and some liquid pearls to highlight around the sentiment.
I must apologise for the quality of the photo.  It was quite dark when I took it and the silvery foiled sentiment does glare a bit.

I hope you like and for more inspiration just pop over to Dream Valley.  Looking forward to seeing all your creations.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
Aud Sentiments - Birthday sentiment
Disdigidesigns - Anything but square
Lexis Creations - Happy Birthday
Fashionista - Shabby or vintage
LEJ Designs - Anything goes

Silver Wedding

Hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend.  I have had this week off work.  We were away last weekend and got back on Monday.  I have managed to get a bit of crafty time in but other things keep getting in the way.  On the plus side the weather has been better this week. If it keeps up over the weekend then some gardening will have to be done.  Lots of tidying up to do from winter and the weeds are now starting to come through.

The card I am sharing today is one I did for my daughter to give her friend's parents for their silver wedding.


The stamp I have used is a Penny Johnson one from Stampavie.  I just love it and have inked it up several times.  I decided to keep with the monochrome feel and not add any colour to the image.  The background is some foiled acetate.  I kept the embellishments fairly simple: ribbon, feathers, pins and a pearl heart.  

I am pleased to say that my daughter's friend's parents loved the card.  
Thanks for popping by and see you again soon.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
Visible Image - Get stamping
Stamping Sensations - Special Occasions

Anything Goes at Penny's

Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges.  Our theme is a nice easy one which you all love.
Anything Goes

Here is the card I created as my inspiration project.


I used a fab image from one of our sponsors, QKR Stampede.  He is so cute and I decided to try and go a bit vintage.  The image is coloured with promarkers and cut out using one of my dies.  I then used distress ink around the edges.  All of the card and papers were from my scraps box including the pearlescent paper that I used to paper fold the tie at the side.  Added some ribbon, a button and a sentiment from my stash.  As I have a few Father's Day cards to make this year I thought I would make this my first one.

We have three sponsors for this challenge.

Sparkle and shine

Well, I am back from my weekend away at the Queen convention.  I actually got back on Monday afternoon but still feel quite tired.  It was a fantastic weekend and the tribute bands that performed were excellent.  Our daughters came with us this year and had a fantastic time too.  They were dancing away to Queen music at the disco each night.  
I have all this week off work so hoping to get some major crafty time in.  I am taking my youngest daughter back to university on Thursday.  She just has two exams left and then she will be finished.  This four years are gone by really quickly and it only seems like yesterday that we were dropping her off for her first day.

I did have a little time in the craft room yesterday and here is the result.



I used some Glitter Frosting Paste that I purchased at Ally Pally from here.  I used a stencil for the design.  The thing I like about this glitter paste is the drying time.  It is touch dry in a couple of minutes but you can speed up the drying process by using your heat tool.  I inked round the edges with some distress ink and backed the image onto black card.  Some crushed card candi was used for the corners.  
The biggest problem I had was getting a decent photograph.  I really enjoyed using the glitter paste and it really does make for a quick card.  

Thanks for popping by and for all the lovely comments you leave.  I do appreciate it and will try my best to visit your blog in return.  It may take me a bit of time but I will get there in the end.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
Cutie Pie - Clean and simple
Allsorts - Flowers
Pile It On - Colour challenge
TTCRD - Anything goes
Celebrate the Occasion - Clean and simple

Let's Celebrate 
Our sponsor is Crafty Sentiments Designs and the prize for the winner is their choice of either 3 digis or 1 stamp.


I used this fab image from Crafty Sentiments - Sally it's party time - for my project.  The image has been coloured using my promarkers and I added some liquid pearls around the image for a bit of interest.  The papers were from my scraps box and I decided to do some distressing to all the edges.  Added lots of little embellishments to make it nice and girly.

Where does the time go?

Hope you are all well.  Just wanted to let you all know that I am going away for the weekend today and won't be back until Monday.  We are going to the annual Queen convention which is organised by the International Queen fan club.  We are big fans of Freddie Mercury and Queen and have been going to the convention for quite a few years now.  A whole weekend of live bands and entertainment celebrating the music of Queen.
As I will not have any internet access I have scheduled some posts for the weekend so just hoping that blogger behaves itself.  I will be back on Monday so will have a big catch up on Monday evening.  My apologies if I have not been around to visit all your blogs this week.  Time has not been on my side.  
I have noticed that I am now up to 279 followers.  Wow, never thought I would get to 50 when I first started blogging. Thank you all so much for your support and for wanting to follow me.  

Right, got to go now and finish my last minute packing. Take care and will be around on Monday when I get back.

A busy day today as this is my second post.

Life's Special Occasions
Simply create a project celebrating any of the numerous special occasions that we celebrate.

Our sponsor for this challenge is A Day for Daisies and the design team were lucky enough to be able to use images from the sponsor for our inspiration projects.  The prize for the winner is a $12 gift certificate.


I used this gorgeous wedding bells image to create a wedding card.  The image is coloured with promarkers.  I added some glitter to the bells and cut the image out.  For the card itself I cut an aperture using my dies and then created a trellis but cutting little strips of card and weaving them together.  I than attched this to the back of the aperture.  The flowers were all made using punches and I added lots of pearls.  I also punched out some little butterflies.  Kept the colours a lovely soft shade of pink.  I also used some of my peel offs which normally don't see the light of day lol.

I hope you like and I am looking forward to seeing all your creations.  Just pop here to upload your creations.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Hobbycutz.  Kobie from Hobbycutz produces some beautiful wooden lasercut embellishments and other items.  They are fabulous and super for adding a different dimension to your creations.  Just pop over to the store to check out what is available.  

Our theme for this challenge is 
Monochromatic

We have two fab sponsors for the challenge.

Iva Nova Chest owned by our own design team member Natali and the winner will receive this selection of ribbons and flowers.


If anyone uses any Hobbycutz products there will also be an additional draw for a £5 voucher.  
But the prizes don't stop there.  For this challenge there will also be an additional two winners who will receive a £7.50 voucher for the Hobbycutz store.  
So what are you waiting for.  Hop over to the challenge blog, check out the inspiration from the design team and get those entries in.

Here is my inspiration project using an image from Kenny K.


As you can see I went with variations of purple for my creation.  I coloured the image with promarkers and then cut it out.  Now when I was cutting the image out I dropped it onto my work table.  It landed on top of my Hobbycutz pieces that I had out at the time.  One of the pieces it landed on made it look like she had wings.  So that's how my creation was born.  I added glitter to the piece and think it looks quite cool.  I added some ribbon and another piece from Hobbycutz which was the heart.  Some distress ink round the heart, a rose and some little pins made a lovely embellishment.  The sentiment was in my stash and says 'Daughters like you are precious and few'.  I thought it fitted the image really well.

Thanks for popping by and looking forward to seeing your entries.

The image and papers that I used can both be found at Pink Gem.  The digi image is currently available as a free image.  I did the sentiment on my computer and thought it fitted quite nicely with the image.  Some ribbon, gems and a die cut from Memory Box finished the card.

Birdhouse Birthday

Just a quick post as I am currently getting ready to go and see my rock legend 'Meat Loaf''.  This is his final tour and I am so excited to be going.  I have seen him five times already but he never fails to disappoint.  And if that wasn't enough excitement for one weekend I am going to Ally Pally with my Mum tomorrow.  Eeek (little squeal of excitement).

The card that I am sharing today was made a few weeks ago for my Mum's birthday.  She also makes cards so it can be quite difficulty coming up with something for her.


I used a card blank from Craftwork cards.  I covered it with some paper from my stash and then used some candi for the edges.  I used an embossing tool to crush each piece of candi and then added a blob of stickles to each centre.  The flowers were cut using one of my spellbinders dies.  I used a combination of glitter card, pink and green card.  A happy birthday sentiment, some punched butterflies and liquid pearls completed the card.
Mum loved it and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Thanks for popping by and looking forward to hearing what you think.  I will update you on Sunday about Meat Loaf and Ally Pally.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
One Stop - Birthdays
Ribbon Girl - Add flowers
