Let's frame it!

Hi all,
Daisy and I went to see Brave at the cinema today and we really enjoyed it.  She is back at school tomorrow, so we came back and got her things ready so we don't have too much of a panic in the morning.
My show today is something I have seen before and wanted to have a go.  I found an old picture frame and decided to decorate it with strips of paper cut from magazines.  I like the effect and Daisy has claimed it for her room, asking for a picture of her and Martha to go in it.
I would like to enter this into the following:
Papertake weekly - anything goes

Over at Creative Craft, it is Team A's turn to give inspiration, so it isn't my turn, so I don't have anything to show.  The theme is One for the boys.  We also have a DT call, so please check the blog for details.
See you later.

Tag it.

Hi,

Yes, it really is another post from me. There's a new challenge over at Creative Craft, which is tag it. We want to see tags on your projects. We are sponsored by Little Claires who are offering two stamps for the winner.

Onto my DT card. The paper is by Funky Hand and I love it - so many great designs. The stamp is from the Daisy and Dandelion range, as is the sentiment. The tag inside is hollow, so that money or a voucher can be placed inside.

We had a chilled day today as Daisy wasn't well. Hopefully she will be better tomorrow. Martha had been waking up three or four times each night, but has calmed down a bit now, so hopefully I'll be a bit less shattered and more keen to craft.

The stars are coming out tonight

Hi,

Well today is the time for a new challenge over at Creative Craft and this is Starlight Starbright. So we would like to see stars on your project. This works well for those of you wanting to make Christmas cards, or if you are like me and still avoiding making them, then the possibilites are endless. On to my card. I have used a fab Kenny K image called Star. I have seen many cards on blogs using these images and have never used them before, but I think I may be hooked. I made the background using punched stars as masks and inking between them. Please pop over and play along and see the cards from the rest of the DT - they're wonderful.

I've had two quite crafty days as Daisy was in nursery and Martha is still going to sleep long enough for me to make some things. I've been having lots of fun using my new stash and choosing more as my parents gave me an online voucher for a craft shop for my birthday. Hopefully I will be receiving a parcel soon with lots of yummy goodies - I can't wait!

My first DT show!

Hi,
This is the first time I have scheduled a post so I hope it works as we should be halfway to Melbourne by now. We are going for a week as hubby has been working until midnight most nights for about a month so he needs a break and I just need a change of scene!
This is also my first post as DT member of the Creative Craft Challenge Blog, so I hope I do okay. It's a big week over there as it is our first anniversary week and there are so many amazing prizes up for grabs. We want to see your anniversary projects. Here are mine. The first is traditional and the second is a bit more alternative.
The card above uses a digi stamp and papers from Stitchy bear stamps, one of our sponsors. The sentiment is computer generated and the flowers and gems are from my stash.


Here is the alternative anniversary card. I thought that some people might not do lovey-dovey, but cakes are always good and I love this cheeky digi from Some Odd Girl, another of our sponsors this week. I've made an easel card. I don't know who made the paper as I cut off the name label when I used it before. I made the beaded pins using my jewellery stash. I'm not sure if you can see it, but I added glitter to the cake and put on some beads for sprinkle.
All this talk of cakes is making me hungry.
Please hop over to the blog and see the amazing creations the rest of the DT have made and take the time to join us.

Oh my word!

Hi all,
I know I've been a bit absent but hubby has gone away for work and so I'm on my on with our girls for a week for the first time and I've not had a lot of time to myself, let alone to make cards.
Anyway, I would just like to share some wonderful news. I have been chosen to be on the DT for Creative Craft Challenges and am over the moon! It's my first DT post and had to check it was me on the blog before I celebrated. I just hope I do it justice and can't wait to start.
I'm off to watch some of the Commonwealth Games before bed.

Patterns

Hi,

I was given this image in a RAK and couldn't wait to use it. I've gone for purple on this card to cancel out the amount of pink I am currently using! The black and white patterned paper is wrapping paper and the purple is flocked.

I'm entering this into polkadoodles - easel card and Creative craft challenges - black and white plus one other colour.
