DOTTIES WORLD CHALLENGE(blast from past)

This weeks challenge over at Dotties world is great as it is to recreate one of your old cards. So here is mine, i have used girl about town download from Dotties world along with the circle text. I have incorporated my new BG papers agin as i love them so much and don't know why i haven't had these in the past, prima flower and a hat pin from my local haberdashery along with embellishments and ribbons from my stash.

The text on the christmas card was a peel off so i have done a close up incase you can't see the original design.

FRIDAY SKETCHERS CHALLENGE 40

I have used my new BG papers for the background and my new sherbet stamp which i have decoupaged the flower and bud, along with some embellishments from my stash. I love these stamps and really want to use my copics but i have just found out i need a memento pad so i am now awaiting its arrival, then i need to learn how to blend correctly as this is my down fall on cards unfortunately, but i have found a great tutorial at pretty pressings of which i intend using to practice these needed skills. I have therefore used watercolours to do this image but not really that happy with the result. Anyway at least i have managed a card for the day/night

Blog candy

wow check out what Carlz hubby to be has bought and not for her as such but for her blog candy http://carlzcardz.blogspot.com/2009/02/just-for-you.html#comment-form how good his he.

Charizma cardz challenge 8 (animals)/3D somethings challenge

I MADE THIS BABY GIRL LAST NITE FOR SOME FRIENDS OF MINE AND HUBBY'S. I have just realised it will fit in with this weeks challenge at Charizma cardz yippee as i have lots of little animals from bunnies and lambs to bears etc and also with the 3D stamps something as it's got loads of 3D effects including the fact that the card itself is 3D. I HAVE MAINLY USED SCRAPS OF PAPERS AND THINGS FROM MY STASH. THE LAST PAGE IS BABY GIRL PAPER ? MAKE THE I HAVE CUT OUT A BAZZILL CIRCLE AND ADDED SOME FLOWERS FROM STATSH AND THE THE BEAR IS A DIECUT I PURCHASED FROM EBAY QUITE A WHILE AGO, THE 3D STICKERS I THINK ARE K & Co AND THEY ARE SO ADORABLE.

The second page is pink bazzill background with another white bazzill circle decorated with flowers from stash and 3d K&C0 stickers. Peel offs added with personal details.

Front page is backing paper ?, with another pink bazzill circle then i embossed some card using my favourite cuttlebug embossing floder(dots) and then i i diecut the letters added 3 d foam and another small embellishment and ribbons to finish.

Truly Scrumptious sketch

Here is my card for the first challenge from Truly Scrumptious. The sketch is a fab one to work to although this did take me ages due to my guillotine breaking on me and having to do all the cutting with a knife and ruler whilst wiping away my tears with exhaustion and frustration from my blooming guillotine it really worked me up. But i think this has turned out great and i am happy i could be part of this first great challenge.

Cross, upset and annoyed

Good evening (in a very cross voice)
I am so upset (really). I have worked my balls of all day doing house chores, ironing, running around after 3 children, getting ready for school tomorrow etc. Finally got me time and thought i would sit and do some challenges using my new sherbet stamps from pollycraft, when i used my guillotine and the card was to thick and yes you guessed it(it broke). so i used my spare guillotine which is 5 years old and yes you guessed its rubbish and doesn't cut straight so found myself cutting it further and further until the card was to small. I am screaming, crying and really fed up now. My husband thinks its hilirousbut said he would buy me a new one but i want one now. So i am now trying to make a card using my metal ruler and cutting mat and it is taking for ages feel like just brushing it all of the table and going to bed in a huff. If i do get this card finished i will need a blooming huge medal. Hope you guys had a better evening.

Anyway i did receive my gorgeous sherbet stamps and beautifully decorated box from pollycrafts and god was i chuffed, these stamps are adorable and even more so when you can touch them and play with them (lol) still got to use them but will be doing some cards this weekend with my new products so keep watching and thank you pollycrafts for this wonderful blog candy http://www.pollycraftdesigns.co.uk/epages/es110425.sf

Update

Hi bloggy friends

Just to let you all know i have moved and i am finally getting settled with most things unpacked.
I am using my sisters comp at the moment as virgin messed up me going online at my new house so this is going to be another 10 days (very frustrating). Anyway on a more posititive note, i have received my beautiful blog candy from pollycrafts can't show you at the moment but i was so happy i had won this, the stamps are so amazing and i can't wait to use them and the box they came in was so beautiful too. i will put them on asap along with probably several cards i will have done by the time virgin gets me online. Anyway because i am a kind sister i gave my sister Tracy 2 stamps for her birthday but i couldn't decide which to choose so let her do it herself, i also picked up some rubber stamps at half price from my local craft shop so gave some for my sis and some for me, bless her she has been so poorly just lately so i know this cheered her up. Anyway that;s all for now hope everyone else is well and i will be back asap.

SNOW EVERYWHERE

Good Morning one and all
Yes we got up to a load of snow today and so far has been very amusing watching the cars trying to get up the hill as no gritters came on our street as usual and if they can't get up it they are skidding down it (not good). My hubby couldn't get up the hill in his car either so had to take my freelander which is a little tempremental at the moment but never the less she got him to work safe and sound. Have the children all 3 of them at home so it will be a busy entertaining day or they may just let me get some cards made will have to see how the day pans out. Hope you all have a funfilled day especially those of you who have snow.
ta raaaaaaaaa for now
