Cupcake Craft Challenge

Well our Kath should be back from Australia today - I am not sure what time. It doesn't seem like 3 weeks since she went! I am sure she will be eager to get back into her crafting room and start making some cards - that is is she has the energy after all the travelling about she has been doing over there.

Here is my card for the Cupcake Craft Challenge.

The papers are from the Eskimo Kisses range by Basic Grey and the stamp is from Funky Kits.

thank you for looking.

Sketch and Stash Challenge

Well I just don't know where this week has gone to at all!!

On Sunday I went to The Dome and had a really good time. I met my daughter and, whilst we had a look round the craft show, her husband Steve took Florence swimming and my husband took his daughter swimming. Me and Claire went back to the car for our sandwiches and watched Florence in the pool. She was just coming down one of the slides and she loved it - she is only 2, bless.

Yesterday I met Claire again but Florence was at nursery. We met at Meadowhall to do a bit of Chrissie shopping. We were there from 10am till 4.30pm and then I got stuck in traffic on the way home and it took me twice as long to get home as it had taken to get there. It was such a tiring day that I didn't get up until 9am this morning.

Anyway on the the cards. Here is my entry for the Sketch and Stash Challenge. The photo is not so good as I had to use my reserve camera.

The stamp is Whiff of Joy and the papers are some that I got last year from a shop in Newark, but can't remember the name off hand.

hope you like it.

Whiff of Joy Challenge

Back again folks with my card for the Whiff of Joy Challenge

You are probably sick of seeing this same stamp but I really like it.

I used the Basic Grey paper - I think it is Wassail and coloured the image with Copics. The sentiment should have been to the left but I thought it looked better in the middle.
Please feel free to leave a comment as it is so encouraging.
thank you

Papertake Challenge

I am just quickly fitting this post in between doing my cleaning upstairs and my ironing.

Here is my card for the Papertake Challenge.

The papers are from the Forever Friends pad and the stamp is the Whiff of Joy one that I have used numerous times. I think these colours look really nice and cool. I did make a mistake with the circle, I forgot to put it on before the ribbon so just had to poke it underneath the ribbon - you can probably tell!!.

Thank you for looking and have a great weekend.

I will be going to the Dome on Sunday, so I am looking forward to that.

luv

Just Magnolia and Mojo Monday

Just a very quick post before my visitors arrive.

I have a card to show you that I have done for two different challenges.

The first is Fridays Just Magnolia Challenge which is to do something Bright and Zingy and the second is Mojo Mondays Challenge - except that I have missed the bow off above the sentiment.

Sorry have to go, they have arrived now.

Hope you like the card

Stampavie and More Challenge

Well I think winter has arrived!!

I have been for a walk this morning and I was frozen when I set off and wished I had put my gloves on. Yesterday it seemed more like autumn but today more like winter. I will have to change into my winter skirts if it stays like this.

Moving on to cards, here is my entry for the Stampavie and more challenge, the theme of which is "Christmas". I was very lucky because I had actually made this card for the sketch the week before but, always being late, I missed it, but the card actually ties in with this weeks challenge, so all is not lost. You might have noticed that nearly all my cards lately have been Christmas ones, that is because I am trying to get some ideas for my own cards.

Will have to dash now, I am going for my haircutting.

luv

Stamp with Fun Challenge

Good Evening everyone and Hi to our Kath if she is tuning in from Australia, I hope you are having a brilliant time.

We have been over to Skipton today to Embsay Crafts where they had people demonstrating different things in the Village Hall. It was very busy but I can't say that I bought anything much. This is just a quick post because we have been out since about 10.30 this morning. We called at Keighley Tarn and stopped to eat our sandwiches there. There were loads and loads of ducks, seagull type birds and different species of water fowl and a few geese and a couple of swans. David gave them some of the bread from his sandwich and we gave them a packet of cheese and onion crisps, which they actually ate.
We bought some bread in Skipton and called back there on our way home and it was like the feeding of the five thousand - the bread didn't seem to go anywhere.
We called at various places on the way home and had our tea out and we have just got back.
After all that I have made it quite a long post now!!
So here is my card for the Stamp with Fun Challenge.

thanks for looking.
luv
