So excited...


I've been invited to be a Guest Designer on one of my most favourite and respected challenges of all time.  My Time to Craft was one of the first challenges I ever entered and to be asked to be part of the team for a few months means so much to me I can't contain my excitement.
I'm such a saddo that I've actually gone back in time and found the first card I entered into a challenge at My Time to Craft - eeeeeeek - I was hoping for something to blow my socks off, but hmm, maybe I've learnt a lot since 2008.  Perhaps you too would like to travel back in time - if you do this is a link to the Christening card I entered in the 'Babies' challenge in April 2008. I have a feeling this was before I discovered dies - embossing folders and so many other craft items that make our craft projects look so professional these days.  We are so lucky and so broke!

 Anyway on to this week's challenge which is 'Domesticated Animals'.  I was thinking of pets, but I suppose farm animals would have been fine too.  Anyhow I searched through my stamps and couldn't resist this cat and oh so cute sentiment.  It's from a clear stamp set by Personal Impressions and the paper is from a pad by Papermania.  The baubles are part of the design on the paper and I've just added a bit of bling in the form of gem on each large star on the bauble. The fairy kitty was coloured with Promarkers with added glitter cause you just can't have a Christmas card without glitter.

 Other challenges...

Hope everyone is having a great weekend - I'm hoping to do some gardening and some crafting.  Have fun whatever you are up to and do try to have a go at our new challenge.  The team have done some stunning cards and it really is worth popping over there to be inspired.

Aud Sentiments Day again...


This time our challenge is 'Cute and a Sentiment' - an easy peasy one again.  Lots of people have already entered some stunning cards as we are on week 2 of our challenge, but there is still a whole week for you to take part.  Hope to see you there - there is always a prize for one lucky person.

 We are being sponsored by Lacy Sunshine Stamps and the team were lucky enough to be able to choose a digi design from the store.  I chose Gemma Gerbera and had intended to add loads of die cut flowers, but had a change of plan and used a very busy designer paper instead and a simple organza bow for decoration.  The sentiment was done on my computer and printed out.

 Another card for the birthday box.  I'm stunning myself with my organisational skills at the moment - if I could just remember to post the cards I'd be on a winner.  

 Anything goes challenges...


Have a brilliant day whatever you are up to.

Baby Dinosaur Poo!!


Well the dinosaur hunt went well yesterday as did the little surprise, pictured above, that I made for my dinosaur loving grandson.  He thought it was hilarious especially as Auntie Rachel had to try one first and proceeded to pull faces and really gag at how horrible the poo tasted.  Then it was my turn to try one and pretend they were horrible.  He nearly fell over laughing at our misery, but wouldn't try one himself so we had to come clean and fess up that it was only chocolate really.
The bag was inspired by all the really quite expensive for what they are boxes of seagull and sheep poo I saw on sale while on holiday last week.  My version was created using Craft Artist and a dinosaur themed digi kit.  I think I may make some smaller versions of these for the summer event at my mum's nursing home as I have a feeling they would sell really well.

 Challenges...

Hope everyone is having a good day.  I'm off to do some crafting.
