Add a bit of Sparkle

I have just got back from shopping at Boots - taking advantage of the spend £50 and you get £12 of points on your card.

I have bought 2 lovely gifts which were 1/2 price. They are a set of drawers filled with Sanctuary products. I think they are well worth the money, but of course it was the set of drawers for keeping craft products in that took my eye first rather than the bath products inside them!!

I am well pleased with myself - I like a bargain.

Anyway here is my card for today.

Once again I have used a Lili of the Valley Stamp - I just love James the bear - especially with the cracker.

The papers are digital ones and I have coloured the image with Copics.
I have to say that I do like the turquoisey colours although my hubby prefers the traditional red and green.

Here is a close up of the Snowflakes - which are made using a Martha Stewart Punch and glittered with Glamour Dust. Then I have added a spacer and a brad.

I am entering this card in the following challenges

Friday Sketchers Challenge - which is the sketch I have followed.

The Crafty Pad Challenge - the theme of which is Christmas.

The ABC Challenge which is G for Glitter.

The Simon Says Challenge - which is Punches.

A Spoonful of Sugar - which again is Punches.

Thank you for looking - if I'm not back tomorrow, I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Two More Challenges

Just a very quick post to show you the card below which I started to make for the
Stamp with Fun Challenge - which was stripes - so I have used a bit of stripey paper.

I then thought I would combine it with Saturday's Penny Black Challenge which was flowers.
The DP has flowers on it and the image has a flower and I have put some roses on - so it has plenty of flowers.

The Papers are from Stampin Up and the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.
The image is, of course, Penny Black. Penny Black were my very first favourite stamps - they are so cute, and I love cute!!
have to dash.
thank you for looking

Anyone for Anya Challenge

I have actually got round to making a card - round being quite a good word actually for this card.
The Anyone for Anya Challenge was "Don't be Square" so I thought I would do a round card. Then I thought I would have a go at making it an easel card - so here is the finished card

The papers, and the ribbon, are from Stampin Up and the roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The image is coloured with Copics.
I have got some new Stampin Up goodies so will try and do a card using those.
thank you for looking

Lili of the Valley Challenge

Hi Everyone.

It has been quite an eventful week this week!!

I told you earlier about Austin being injured by falling bricks - that was Thursday.

On Friday my sister's father-in-law was found behind the door by the milkman - he had fallen.

Today I was the first up in our house - quite unusual for me. I was rather pleased with myself and had got all sorts done by the time hubby got up. Then I realized there was something wrong with my tooth - a bit of it had chipped off. I think I had been clenching my teeth in my sleep.

I went up to have my shower and cleaned my teeth first and the whole filling came out leaving me with not much tooth left. Luckily my dentist was working today so had a mad dash up there and he has filled it again.

My husband has played rugby this afternoon and has hurt his back - don't know how bad it is yet because he is still getting some anaesthetic for it - up at the pub!!

Here is a card that I am really quite like - it is for the Lili of the Valley Challenge.

The roses are actually not yellow they are more the colour of the paper - I don't know why they look like that.

I love this cat, he is so cute.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thank you for looking

luv
