Cute Daisy May DT Card - Pink Christmas

Well it is Monday again already which means another Cute Daisy May challenge. This week the challenge is Pink Christmas. What a great challenge eh! It is so nice to see Christmas cards in different colours as opposed to the standard Red & Green, not that I don't like Red & Green

This little image is from Sheet 46 and can be purchased here for £1.99 a sheet and there are lots to choose from. The papers I have used all come from a Nitwit collection called Joyful Hearts. These are great little collections as you not only get papers but you get cute little elements to go with it, as you can see from these little mittens. The paper rose, I made myself using a woodware punch, have I told you that I can't stop making these now that I know how lol.

The rest of the Design Team have come up with the fab cards this week which should give you all loads of inspiration.

Awesome Blog Candy

Wow, what about this for blog candy. Jak from Crafters Kitchen has been very lucky in that her boss has given her a Quickutz Sillouette to offer as blog candy. Can you believe it, she certainly has a fantastic boss doesn't she.
Well to be in with a chance of winning pop on over to Jak's blog, leave a comment and post a link on your blog, unfortunately this is only open to UK addresses. This candy will run until the 30th October when Jak will pick a winner.
Good luck everyone.

Cute Daisy May DT Card - Recipe 123

Morning everyone, didn't we have a lovely weekend, It felt like we were back to summer which was nice.

This week over at Cute Daisy May the theme is to design a card using a recipe of 1 Ribbon, 2 Buttons and 3 Flowers. Here is the card that popped itself into my head using Linnie's adorable Cat image which can be found on Sheet 43. The papers I have used are all from Craftwork Cards along with the base card. The ribbon started off as plain white grosgrain that I coloured with my Promarkers to match my colour scheme.

Pop over to the challenge blog to join in this week and you never know you may even be the winner.

Thanks for stopping by and come back again soon.

Naming Day Card

I was asked if I could make a naming day card for a lady to give to her Grandson, she didn't want anything religious but all she could tell me was that he liked dinosaurs so hopefully this fits the bill.The background paper is from DCWV Nana's Nursery and Bazzill. I used my Cricut machine and Paper Dolls cartridge to make the dinosaur, caveman and tree.

Hope you like and thanks for stopping by.

Have you popped over to the Cute and Girly Challenge Blog yet and signed up to be a follower, and you may even become the winner of that fab make up set that Jane has so kindly put up as a prize. Don't forget that the first challenge starts on 1st October so it would be lovely to see as many of you as possible enter.

Cute Daisy May Challenge

Over at Cute Daisy May this week the challenge is Texture. For this card I mat and layered some gorgeous strippy paper then printed out some coordinating mats and embossed them using my cuttlebug folders, Divine Swirls and the new Victoria. I then mat and layered my gorgeous little image after colouring her with my promarkers and then used my Martha Stewart Flourish punch, added a stamped sentiment from Autumn Leaves and a couple of flowers a charm and some card candy and there you have it. This image is so sweet and so pretty for those young ladies in your life and can be found on Sheet 84 along with 3 other adorable images. This card is going to be for my 7 year old step grandaughter as it so reminds me of her. If you haven't come across Linnie's designs yet then you need to get on over there as they are delightful and are only £1.99 per sheet. The beauty of digital images is that you have no storage problems, can resize them to whatever size you wish and you have them for life.

Just Magnolia Challenge & By the Cute and Girly

As a lot of you know I burnt my stomach last week and have been in a lot of pain as it is quite a large burn just below my waistline which has made it really hard to sit, let alone craft. Well yesterday I felt a bit better so thought I would have a go at making a card and as I already had this cute little Magnolia image coloured I thought I would use that, I have also used some scrummy Magnolia papers that I bought along with the image with my birthday money. The sentiment is a Quickutz rub on. So hope you like it as I am entering it into this weeks Just Magnolia challenge where the theme is to follow a sketch.

Also for those that missed my earlier post, Jane (Jem's Crafting Blog) has started a new challenge blog called "By the Cute and Girly" where the focus is on having fun and I was asked by Jane if I would join her DT along with some very, very talented ladies (looking forward to playing with you girls). Jane started this challenge so that all you crafty people can showcase all your creations, whether it be a card, flower arrangements, knitted garment, scrapbook page. Well basically anything that you have made yourself. The challenge will run each month and there are some fab prizes up for grabs and some great sponsors. If you haven't yet become a follower then hop on over there and sign up, and we will look forward to seeing what you all come up with.

Thanks for stopping by.
