Just too cute

Please scroll down for my Digital Delights DT card.

Hi again,

I'm back with my CRAFT DT card. This week, we are sponsored by The Crafty Pad and 2Cute rubber stamps. Our theme is cute and I have used Owl Sparklers by 2Cute. I love this image and chose bright colours to echo the fireworks theme on my card. Please check out the projects by the rest of the DT. Have a good rest of the week.

A bit of white

Hi all,

Yesterday, Martha and I went to toddlers and then played at home as the weather was awful. Daisy was meant to be going to the woods with school on Tuesday, but it was cancelled because of the weather. I hope it stops soon, as I have so much washing to dry.

Here is my Digital Delights show. This week, I have used Snowie McFee. I have used mostly white, which still scares me a bit. I embossed the top using my score board, and ripped card for snowy hills on the bottom. The lace is my last snippet from Wild Orchid, and the card corner is also my last one. I must get some more soon.

It's my birthday and I'll buy if I want to!

Hi all,

It's a wet and dull day today, but, as the title suggests, it's my birthday. The girls are at nursery and school, so I have a lovely day of housework ahead of me! I am hoping to get online to buy a die cutting machine with my birthday money, but I'm not quite sure which to get. I did have a big shot ages ago but managed to break it, so I need a heavy duty one really and I do love the grand nesties so I'll do some research. I am managing to craft without one, but there are so many fab dies around, that I think I do NEED one! I am at a rehearsal this evening, so hubby and I will be going out to celebrate both our birthdays in December when my parents are up and can babysit.

It is time for another challenge at Creative Craft. This week, we are sponsored by Crafty ribbons, Stampin Dragon and Paper makeup. We are going Clean and simple this fortnight. Now, I find this difficult as I do love lots of embellies and DP's. I have used a snowman digi by stampin Dragon. I printed directly onto the base card and then cut out some of the background to show the snowflake paper (by Digital Delights) behind. I did a bit of colouring, added some glitter and that's it.

Oooh! Aaah!

Hi all,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We went to a firework display on Saturday. It's the first time Daisy has seen them as she's usually asleep by the time they start. She and Martha loved them and I was amazed by how long the display went on for. It was at least 15 minutes. Yesterday, Daisy and I had another Annie rehearsal, while Martha had some Daddy time.

This week, Incy Wincy are being sponsored by Tiffany Doodles, who generously gave the DT some images to play with. Our theme this week is stitching, real or faux. I have chosen to use flower and mushrooms and I actually dug out my sewing machine for this. Don't look too closely, as the stitching is a bit wonky, but I like to think it is adding to the vintage/shabby chic look! The papers are by DCWV and papermania. I have layered the flower and mushrooms for a little bit of depth. Please check out the projects from the rest of the fab DT.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

OSAAT - use a digi

Catch the bug - anything goes

Crafty Catz - anything goes

Make it Monday - always anything goes

Can we fix it?

Hello again,

Over at CRAFT, the theme this week is family games/board games/activities. I wasn't sure what to do for this at first, but when I saw this image by one of our sponsors, bows and berries, I remembered this fab paper I had (can't remember who it is by, sorry ) and thought it would go well together. I have cut out some tools from the paper to use as embellishments and then just added ribbons. I have kept this quite simple, as I feel it would be good for a boy's birthday. Daisy has a class mate's party on Saturday, so this might be his card. I hope you have a great rest of the day.

Just the fruit for me, please.

Hi all,

This week has gone quite quickly. Thursday already. Martha and I went to toddlers yesterday and had a great time. It's always nice to play with someone else's toys for a while! One of the mums made a blueberry cake. It was lovely, but Martha just wanted to pick all the blueberries off to eat and left the cake! I suppose it could be worse.

It's time for my weekly showcase of Digital Delights products. As it is the first Thursday of the month, Wendy has some fantastic new releases. I have used Poppet the Fairy, and just love this cute image. The sentiment is also by Digital Delights. I have gone for traditional colours again. The green background was a gift bag and the papers were free with a magazine. The flowers are by Prima and Wild Orchid.

OSAAT - Christmas

On the first day of Christmas

Hi all,

Martha had a lovely nursery party yesterday and Daisy had great fun at school. Her favourite bit was when her teacher gave them all a bit of green candy floss for a treat as it was Halloween!

Now for something a bit different! The wonderful Wendy from Digital Delights has designed some fantastic digis based on the song the 12 days of Christmas. I am kicking it off with the Partridge in a pear tree. I have used handmade paper and script fabric I had lying around just begging to be used. I've never really liked making Christmas cards in traditional colours, but that's what I've been doing a lot of this year and I now like the colour combination. Don't forget to check the blog for the next 12 days to see fantastic projects from my teamies and of course to see the fab new images.
