Mellow Yellow

Good Evening All
I have mde this card featuring the Saturated Canary image I used afew days ago for my Forever Friends DT and I love it.

I think she is so cute.  I used my Promarkers to colour her in shades of yellows and oranges.  Quilled flowers, crochet flower with twirl, swirls, gems, spellbinders labels die, homemade butterfly pin.  Matted and layed on yellow and orange card.

 

Also, I have been busy crocheting again and I have made more hearts as mentioned and linked yesterday.  I shall be adding some of these to my candy here,  just add your name on the comments.

Sun Fun Day

Good Evening All
I thought I would send you all abit of sunshine as so many of you are having high winds and lots of snow. We went for a walk on the beach today and I took some pics for you.

This guy really was going in for a swim.

Doesn,t it all look so beautiul.  It was quite dull when we set out then 15 minutes later when we arrived at the coast, it was lovely blue skies and a light breeze.

My card for today is a cute pair of teddies on a swing (Duflex decoupage), pearls, swirls, gems, flowery paper, ribbon and I have crocheted some hearts after following a tutorial here at Little Birdie Secrets, they are so easy when you know how.

Good Morning All
Monday means a new challenge at Love to Create  Challenge so here we go with the theme of
'Feelin The Love'

My card is an image from Dearie Dolls called 'Head over Heels' and I have just kept it all hearts and flowers.  Coloured with Spectrum Noirs and Promarkers.  The paper on the back is so old I cant remember where it came from but I have left some open space there to show it off.  Lots of flowers mad with Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms. A double bow made with satin ribbon, gems, pearls, swirls and hearts.  

Our sponsors this week are Sassy Studio  and they will give the chosen winner 2 digis of their choice.

And Dearie Dolls

Valentines Day

Good Morning All
My eldest son has gone home and I loved having him here, he seems alot happier now with his new partner and he is now able to talk about Lucas and we looked at pics and talked about Hollie (his niece) which is all good.

Saturday morning means it is Allsorts Challenge time and the theme is Valentines so
love is in the air!!!
Here is another Valentines card - I love doing these pretty, lovey dovey cards.

This is my creation for this week and it is right up my street.  Pretty and lovey and flowery.  It is a single card so  I had to make a stand for it.

Showing the stand I have made from thick cardboard

I have made a box for it too so that the flowers don't get squashed and I think it makes it look abit more classy!!!!

Our sponsors this week are Whimsy stamps - $10 voucher

AND
Stamp Addicts will give a 10GBP

My card for my OH for Valentines
I just love this Marianne Die, I have used it loads.

All white with deep red Bitty Blossom flowers and I put red pearls in the centre of  a couple of them.

A Nellie Snellen heart die stuck on the top

And I stuck a stand made from card on the back.  I made a box envelope and cut a window in it.  Put on one of my flowers crocheted with cotton twine, two different sized ones attached together with a heart brad.

1 stamp set
1 stamp set
1 stamp set

And the Forever Friends Fave is sponsored by Saturated Canary

who will give the chosen winner 2 digis.

The theme is Animals and /or Birds and/or Butterflies, so that covers a multitude of options.

I have made a card for the birth of twins, it's a double easel with a pink Forever Friends Bear on one side and a blue one on the other and each one has a little yellow ducky.

The two circular sentiments are FF products aswell.  The base paper has 'Congratulations' on it and I stamped 'Best Wishes ' onto beige card then cut a pink and a blue scalloped circle.  Coloured peeloff corners and a gorgeous teddy charm  from Mei Flower tied with white organza ribbon on each corner. Finished off with some lovely pastel coloured lace I have had for years.

From Saturated Canary I chose this gorgeously cute image 'Butterfly Baby'

I didn,t think she needed much embellishments so I just added a ribbon (Joanna Sheen) and some Bitty Blossoms flowers and the little tiny pink ones on the scalloped circle are from Mei Flower

Love to Create Birthday

Good Morning All
Today is Love to Create Challenges birthday, so the theme is 'CELEBRATE'.  This is a really good week to join us because there are loads and loads and loads of sponsors so that means loads of prizes too.  One of our sponsors is Whoopsi Daisy and I chose one of their images for my card this week.
I have done an easel card,decorated with bitty blossom flowers inked on the edges and a lovely crocheted lacey one with twirly tassels.  Again I have used bits of paper that were in the drawer (trying to use them up) and printed a sentiment on the computer, matted them all up on Spellbinders Labels die.

 

I think she is so cute.

Please join us this special birthday challenge for a chance to win one of many great prizes.

Let's Get Cute

Good Morning All
Saturday is the day for a new Challenge at Allsorts and this week the theme is 'Let's Get Cute' so I think this is quite and easy one for you all.  Our sponsors are Digi Stamps

 and Crafty Ribbon

so there are some great prizes on offer.

My creation this time is something a little bit different.  Digi Stamps provided me with a lovely sheet of digis called 'Simply for Valentines' and it had 6 images on so I thought I would try to use all of them.  I could choose either coloured images or black and white (need colouring in), I chose the pre coloured ones (lazy or what? Just so busy at the moment with getting straight after decorating and my son being here)

I punched two holes with my 'Crop o dile' and inserted brads to hold them all together and added a ribbon and for abit of decoration I added a red button.  I tied a gorgeous 'Cupid' charm onto more ribbon and glued that on the front page.

I cut six scalloped Hexagons in reds and pinks but left one side longer then I could make them into a little book.  I cut six more hexagons in the smaller size then cut the images in the next smaller size.

The Allsorts challenges run until the following Friday so hop over and join in the fun, the DT love hopping around to have a look at all your lovely work.
