Life's a bit rougher than normal at the moment, but I have managed to finish this card that my daughter ordered to send her husband. I had to do something quick and something that didn't stretch my brain cells too much so I used Tonic dies to create the heart frame. The beautiful Lavinia Stamps digi image was printed on acetate and then attached to some gorgeous glitter card I have that has a blue streak running through it. Originally from Kanban many years ago. I love it cause it has a gorgeous sky effect that is actually not showing up too well in the photo.
A little bit of extra fairy dust on the wings, a few gems and Bob's your Uncle jobs a good un and of course if you use digi images it's so easy to add a smaller version to the inside of your card too.
Hoping to get a little crafting done today before hospital visiting, but will have to get my skates on as time is flying by.
My card was created for this month's Lavinia Stamps Challenge where the theme is use blue or lilac. I know there is a lot of black on my card, but I have used shades of petrol blue to mat and layer and to tone with the shade of blue on the glitter card. Fingers crossed that my project counts!

Have a good weekend everyone. Noticed I have gained a new follower, but couldn't work out who it was - anyway whoever you are thank you so much for adding me to your list. I'm blown away that anyone would want to see my projects.

Every week I enter the challenge at Pixie's Snippets Playground and this week I used the snippets left from my Valentine card to make a birthday card, but oh no... I forgot to take a photo before posting the card!
What a dipstick? However, all is not lost as I have this little altered note book that I haven't blogged yet and it was created using snippets of green card left over from other projects so fortunately I can still frolic in the playground. The image was stamped using a lovely set of stamps by Inky Doodles that I had bought for Christmas and the sunflower is one of my first attempts at using paperclay. Love that stuff.

I don't like sending cards late so when I slipped up with a couple of birthdays this week I sent digital cards by email to arrive on the day and backed them up with a little gift in the post. The gift didn't arrive on time but hopefully my friends will forgive my dippyness and still be my friend. Don't want to end up 'going down the garden eating worms'.
So here's a picture of the two little gifts I sent out. Ribbon holders! I did something similar a long time ago a - see the post here and I did a couple with faces at the top but I can't find the post.
The butterflies were stamped and then coloured with Promarkers and blinged with gems. I used a circle punch to cut a half circle where the ribbon needed winding round. All in all I was quite pleased with the result and I've heard back from my friends who loved them.

Have a fabulous day.
