Cute Daisy May - Lavender and Lace

This week over at Cute Daisy May the theme was Lavender & Lace. Well with a beautiful theme like that I had to use this gorgeous image of Daisy sitting by the wishing well, I really fell in love with this image as soon as I saw it, and if you have too and wish to have it you can find it HERE.

I used some backing papers from my stash along with my trusty Promarkers to colour my image, the Lace I picked up at Hobbycraft. I cut out my hearts using the George cartridge from my Cricut machine and the buttons using a Quickutz die. The border was made using my Martha Stewart Doily Lace Punch.

If you fancy playing along, we'd love to see you. I am entering this into the following challenges.

Birthday Card

Today was a very special birthday for one of my cyber friends called Rosy, it was her 40th and to celebrate the occasion I made her this card.

I cut the letters out using my beloved cricut with the Pooh font. The papers were cupcakes from Crafts House. I ran my embossing tool on the back of the letters to shape them and then added silicone glue to make them pop. The background papers are Bazzill and I used my Doily Lace punch.

Polkadoodle Challenge 5

Here is a card that I made last night for my Mum's birthday at the beginning of July. I had gone round there to say goodbye to her as she was going off for a fortnight on a cruise around Norway with her sister-in-law while my Dad stays at home. It was only then that I realised that she would be away for her birthday and I hadn't made her card yet. So after rushing home and getting dinner I proceeded to make this card for her.

It was also then that I thought I hadn't yet done my card for the Polkadoodle challenge and thought this would be perfect with having flowers on it (she does like her flowers), so here it is

All the papers are Daisy Bucket (Whimsical Ladies) with a cute magnolia image. I cut the ovals on my cricut by stretching the circle on Mini Monograms and I finally got a chance to use my lovely new Martha Stewart punch. The greetings are computer generated.

Hope you enjoyed looking.
