Just Dance

Just got back a little while ago from spending the weekend with my sister and her family.  We had a lovely time even though the weather was pretty foul while we were away.

Will try and start catching up with you all later but in the meantime today sees the start of a new challenge over at Corrosive Challenges.  Our theme for this fortnight is:

Just Dance

Create a project featuring a dancer or inspired by dancing and music.  Let your creativity flow.

Our sponsor for this challenge is the wonderful Mayzy Art who is offering 5 free digi images to the winner.  

Here is my project for this challenge using an image from Mayzy Art called Daisy Sprite.

The image is coloured with promarkers and then cut out using one of my dies.  The papers are from Wild Rose Studio and matted onto purple card.  The word sentiments came from a set that I have from Woodware.  I added some purple ribbon, purple glittery twine and some resin roses.  Quite simple but just perfect for an aspiring little dancer.

For more inspiration just pop over to Corrosive Challenges and check out the fab work of the design team.  Looking forward to seeing all your entries.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Cards Galore - Music
Fussy and Fancy - Flowers
Craft Your Passion - Favourite 2 colours (pink and purple)
Bunny Zoes - Girly
Aud Sentiments - Girl power

Easter with Hobbycutz Challenges

Hope you are all having a good weekend.  I am currently away for the weekend with family so I scheduled this post. Hopefully blogger has played nicely and published it for me.

Today sees the start of the second fortnightly challenge over at Hobbycutz Challenges.  Can I just say thank you to everyone who entered our first challenge and blog hop.  We had over 100 entries for our first challenge.  Just amazing and thank you all for your support. Don't forget to pop over to the challenge blog to find out if you are a winner.

The theme for our second challenge is:

Easter
Just perfect as Easter is only around the corner.  For full details of the challenge just pop over to Hobbycutz Challenges.  You can find more inspiration from the fabulous design team too.

I made a little Easter basket out of card.  I covered the sides with some freebie papers that I have had in my stash for months.  I added the little picket fence border from Hobbycutz as I thought it gave the impression of flowers growing behind the fence.  I lined the basket with some green organza material.  The little sign is also from Hobbycutz.

Here is another view which shows the decorated handle.  The little wooden butterflies are from Hobbycutz and I gave them a light coating of white acrylic paint.

I hope you like and would love to know what you think.  Looking forward to seeing all your lovely creations.

Fab N Funky - Add a sentiment

Yay, it's the weekend.  We are spending this weekend visiting my sister and her hubby.  It is my Mum's birthday on Monday so having a little family get together.  So nice to spend a bit of time all together and lovely to see my two nephews.  They are growing so fast.

As it's Saturday it's time for a new challenge over at A Gem of a Challenge.  Our challenge this week is hosted by the lovely Cara and she has chosen the theme:

Easter/Spring

The prize for the winner is their choice of 2 digi images from Pink Gem Designs.

I used this cute little image, Jodie with Easter Egg to create a little Easter card using lovely spring colours.  The papers were some freebies from a magazine that I got last year.  All the other bits and pieces were from my stash. The little tag is a Cheery Lynn die called Tags 4 which can be purchased here.

A little bit of candy

Hopefully, this is a sticky post and will remain at the top until 15th March.  Please scroll down for newer posts.

Well, I have had a busy couple of days.  It was my birthday on Thursday so got taken out for lunch by my lovely hubby.  On Friday afternoon I got home from work and had just settled down with a cup of tea when the doorbell rang.  It was my youngest daughter.  My hubby has arranged for her to come home for the weekend from uni for my birthday.  Such a surprise.  So last night we went out for a quiet family meal, or so I thought.  Instead there were 14 of us sitting round the table.  A lovely surprise and so nice to be able to spend some time with great family and friends.

So with all the festivities I have not been able to get round to see all your blogs as much as I would like.  I intend sitting down tonight and having a browse around.  

Anyway, as it was my birthday I am offering a little bit of candy.  This is by way of a thank you to all my followers.  I really do appreciate it and thank you so much for all your wonderful comments and support.

The candy consists of:

A 6x6 Forever Friends paper pack

4 little fizzy moon stamps

Pack of paper flowers

Pack of decorative stick pins

Pack of gems

2 lengths of ribbon

The candy will remain open for two weeks and close on Friday 15th March.

To enter simply do the following:

1.  Be or become a follower of my blog

2.  Post a picture of my candy on your blog (sidebar is fine)

3.  Leave a comment on this post.

Simples.  I will post internationally so anyone is free to enter.

Thanks for popping by.  

Pretty in Pink Pansy

Really wish the weather would decide what it is going to do.  One minute the sun is shining, the next minute we are having a snow flurry.  Knowing what to wear to work is the difficult job at the moment.  It is so cold outside but the office is like a sauna.  No wonder so many people are getting coughs and colds lol.

Anyway, here is a little card I made using an image and papers from Pink Gem Designs.

The Pansy image is just gorgeous and can be found here.  For this card I used the precoloured image.  The papers are also from Pink Gem.  They are the Microdots collection and Springtime collection.  I used kraft card for the matting as I love the combination of pink and kraft together.  A few simple embellishments from my stash finished the card.

You can find more fab images and papers over at the Pink Gem website.

Mothers Day

Not everywhere is celebrating Mothers Day today so as long as your entry is for a female you will be eligible for the prize draw.

Our sponsor for this challenge is the wonderful Freckled Fawn.  Their washi tape collection and embellishments are amazing and the lucky winner will receive a $20 voucher to their on line store.

I created this card for my Mum using Triple Stamping.  I used a tutorial over at Sweet Stamps. The flower stamps I used are from Hero Arts and are part of a stamp set that I won many moons ago from Simon Says Stamp.  Of course I had to use my favourite colour.  Around the edge of the card I used liquid pearls to create a frame.  

As my Mum is a cardmaker herself I wanted to do something a bit different for her.  She loved it I am pleased to say and now wants me to show her the stamping technique.

Thanks for popping by and looking forward to seeing all your entries.  Just pop over to Dream Valley for full details and while there check out the awesome creations from the design team.

Happy Anniversary

Managed to make it to the end of another working week and looking forward to the weekend.  Got nothing planned so will hopefully get some crafting done.  We are going to my Sisters next weekend so need to get caught up on some DT stuff before then.

When my youngest daughter was home from uni last weekend she casually asked me on Saturday morning if I could make a 25th wedding anniversary card for her friend to give her parents.  Not wanting to disappoint I said of course.  Next thing she asked me to rustle one up for her as well.  Talk about last minute lol.

Anyway, here is what I came up with for her friend.  (I will share the one I made for Gayle another evening)

No image this time but lots of die cuts and silver and white card.  I used a frame die and butterfly die from Marianne.  The flower die is the delicate aster from Spellbinders.  Added some punched butterflies, ribbon and pearls.  I also used peel offs (not something I normally use) around the outside of the card.  I have loads of peel offs and really must start using some of them.  

I really enjoyed making this one as it is quite different from what I normally do.  

Thanks for popping by and would love to hear what you think.  Hope you all have a fab weekend, whatever you are doing.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

All That Glitters.  

We have a fab new sponsor joining us, Rick St Dennis.  If you have never used any Rick St Dennis images you are missing out.

Hobbycutz Challenges Launch and Blog Hop

Welcome to the launch of the Hobbycutz Challenge Blog.  I was so excited to be invited to join the first Hobbycutz design team.  We will be running bi-weekly challenges and the design team will be showcasing some fab projects to inspire you.

Here is a little bit of information about the fab Kobie and Hobbycutz.

The Story:

I am Kobie and I am the Owner and Designer of Hobbycutz Lasercutting & Designs.

I  grew up in a Crafty family, with a very creative Gran, Mum and even Dad...he was always into woodworking....

I acquired a laser cutter early December last year after having my second child, which made it nearly impossible to return to work because of expensive child care, so I had to look for something I can do from home.

It was the biggest learning curve of my life and never really realised what I was getting myself into until the machine arrived.

But anyway not going to bore you with the rest, I am here and we will have to see what the future holds.....

So to celebrate the launch of this new adventure we are having a blog hop and you have 2 weeks to join in the fun and try and win some prizes.

Now you should have arrived here from THE HOBBYCUTZ BLOG.

If not, please go back to the Hobbycutz Challenge Blog and start the hop there as you do need to collect some letters along the way from design team members.

The rules of the blog hop are as follows:

1.  Leave a comment on each of the posts as you hop, this is a must to qualify for any prize.

2.  Collect any letters you are given from the DT posts.  Rearrange all the letters you collect and email Kobie at hobbycutz@gmail.com with the word they spell.

3.  Leave a comment on the challenge blog letting us know which design from the Hobbycutz website you like best.

4.  Display our badge in your sidebar to spread the word.

The winner of the hop will receive a £10 voucher to spend at the website and two runner-ups will receive a £5 voucher each to spend at the website.

Now, not only can you do the hop and win a prize - you can also enter our first challenge which is 

ANYTHING GOES

The prize for the challenge winner (picked by random) is a £10 voucher to spend at the website.  Also, a £5 voucher will be given to one random winner who uses a Hobbycutz product. 

Now my letter is the letter S and your next stop is Kim's blog.

Before you go I would like to show you my project for our first challenge.

With Mothers Day in the UK being on March 10th I decided to make a Mothers Day card.  I created a flower wreath using flowers from Craftwork Cards.  All the papers used on the easel card are also from Craftwork Cards.  I used some gorgeous butterflies from Hobbycutz and this gorgeous heart which has such super words on it.  

Here is a closer look at the stopper part of the easel.

Now because this was for Mothers Day I wanted it to be a bit special.  So after the event the wreath has been designed to be removed and become a little wall hanging.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my project and hope you enjoy the rest of the hop and the gorgeous projects from the design team.  Looking forward to seeing all your entries.

Who's Up For Easter

Hope you are all managing to stay warm if you are in the UK.  It has been positively freezing the last couple of days where I am.  They are even talking about the possibility of some snow flurries.  I do hope not.  Roll on spring and summer I say.

Which brings me nicely onto my card share for today.  After the day I have had at work I wanted something to cheer me up.  So I have made a quick and simple Easter card.

I used this really cute image from Pink Gem called Easter Chicks which can be found here.  The papers are also from Pink Gem.  It is a downloadable paper pack called Springtime and can be found here.  

I put a criss cross of ribbon on my card and then added little panels of patterned paper in each corner.  I went round all the panels and the outside of my card with little pen dots to add a bit of interest.  Some gems and little flowers finished it all off.

Thanks for popping by and for all your continuing support.

Framed with Love

Hope you are all well.  Only another two days before the weekend, yippee!!

Just popping by to let you all know about the new challenge starting over at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges today.
We have a nice easy theme for you this week, one that everyone loves 'Anything Goes'.  For full details just pop over to Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges.  You are free to enter anything you like as long as it fits with the challenge theme.

I used a fab image from one of our sponsors, Eureka Stamps, for my project this week.  I decided to do something completely different and I have made a picture to hang in my craft room.

Now, I didn't have a ready madewooden picture frame the right size so just went ahead and made my own out of card. After much measuring, scoring, folding and sticking the frame was complete.  To make it more sturdy I decopatched it using some decopatch paper and glue that I had.  I think decopatch could be one of my new loves.  For the image I printed it out twice and decoupaged all the little elements (tulips, hearts etc).  They are all coloured in promarkers.  The finishing touch to the picture itself was some gems and liquid pearls.  To finish the frame off I added some wooden embellishments that I won a few weeks ago and some butterfly stickers.  This will now take pride of place on my newly decorated craft room wall.

Here is another picture that hopefully shows the depth to the frame.

I really enjoyed doing this but next time I will stick to a ready made frame and just decopatch it.

Looking forward to seeing all your entries for the anything goes challenge.  Maybe, I have even inspired you to try something different.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Hotshot Craft - Anything but a card
Allsorts - Things with wings
Crafty Cardmakers - Blooming images
Stamp N Doodle - Anything goes
