Peaches and green.....

Hi All,

Time for a new card and today I have used Lili of the Valley "lucky Cats" stamped image.....so cute! The challenge this week over at Liliofthevalley challenge blog is to design a card using the colours Peach and Green. Ok, so my peach is more 'pumpkin' but hopefully still ok!

The stamped image is coloured using Copics and the backing card is Stampin up! The papers under the ribbon are First Edition Papers.

Have a good evening

Birthday Weekend

Hi everyone,

Hope you enjoyed the sunshine this weekend.....it was my Birthday on Saturday so not much card making this weekend but I have a few photos to share.....

Mmmm cakes made by Mum...

My Mum and Jay (he always looks this bored!) and then me and my Sis below...

Finally, I had to post this photo because my Mum said it looks like a Wedding Photo ha ha....my Dad is always teased about how much he loves little Angel (she is so cute though!) She posed perfectly for this picture....

Anyway, my next post will be back to cards so I will get creating and post in the next few days!! xx

Nina Ballerina....

Ok....so I couldn't resist another entry into this weeks Paper Sundaes Challenge. The entries this week are amazing, but if you have looked at my previous posts you will be well aware of my passion for lili of the valley stamps (sponsors of this weeks challenge).....so I thought I would enter the card I made this evening....

This stamp is actually called 'Marci Ballerina' from La la land crafts, but at school they always used to sing 'Nina the pretty ballerina' at me (think it was a cartoon?), so I thought for this card I would rename her! I bought her from a US site as I couldn't find her in the UK. The ribbon and flower is from Craft fairy and the paper is Me and My Big Ideas. I coloured the image using copic markers.....

Fingers crossed for the challenge :-)

Spring blossoms....

Hi everyone,

I'm still in spring mode even though it is a bit overcast today, so I have gone for a fresh flowery fairy card today.....

I'd like to enter this card into the Paper Sundaes challenge: Spring blossoms

The stamp is from Pergamano and the papers are Basic Grey from the Kioshi Collection

Have a good evening xxx

Party Princess Weekend....

Hi Everyone,

It just wouldn't be a good weekend without a bit of card making, so I made this one.....

The stamp is by Gorjuss Girls and she is called 'Party Princess' (loving the crown,which I ,of course, glittered!!) and I  coloured her using copic markers. The papers are First Edition Papers- I may have to get another pack as I have used it so much lately.

Oh and also Happy Mother's Day, Mom :-)

Spring has sprung a Sausage Snatcher....

Hi all,

Well its April already and this little cutie is certainly playing an April fool on the owner of those sausages....

I love this daffodil delight card stock from stamping up, it's perfect for easter and spring cards. I am entering this card into the lili of the valley spring challenge this week (Link is to the right). The image is one of their new designs 'Sausage snatcher' and I loved him from the moment I saw him!! So cheeky :-). He is coloured using copics and the backing paper is from First Edition papers 'Spring feast'.

I have also entered the card into the following challenges:
My Craft Spot: Tie a Bow (http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-craft-spot-monday-challenge-1-and.html)
