Cute Card Thursday Challenge

This is my entry for this weeks CCT Challenge which is called 'create a scene'. To make this card I decided to use a Messy Rabbit background paper and a beautiful stamp from Funky Kits called 'Daisy'. I have coloured the image with H2os. I think she looks gorgeous sat in a field of flora and seems so intent on the 'Daisy' in her hand.

Lots to Do Challenge

This is my entry for this weeks challenge called 'youv'e been framed'. For this card I have used an Alota stamp which is the sweet little girl in bed and a mixture of Cuddly Buddly and Messy Rabbit stamps which are the books, basket of flowers, and piggy bank. I have used a window 'frame' and a little sentiment 'framed' all have been coloured in H20s and K&Co backing papers.

Hi I had a visit from Suzanne today who has told me about some blog candy give away please try and visit her blog its worth seeing Suzanne's Blog. I have to show a link to my favourite blog which is very difficult because I gain inspiration from nearly every blog I visit and to pick one is sooooooooo so hard but I feel I must go with the one that inspired me right at the begining when I first joined Joanna Sheens craft forum and that is Crafty Butterfly Stamping Blog I have always admired Wendys work and her site is definately worth a visit. I have also picked up something very useful from Suzanne's blog and that is how to keep a post at the top of the page which is great so thank you once again Suzanne.

My time to craft challenge 45

This weeks challenge for My Time to Craft is called 'You're having a laugh' so I have chosen a couple of images from my Murray & Ethel range. I have coloured them both in H20s and mounted them on card as with the 'sentiment'. I have used DCWV glittered and foiled card stock for the base and a gold ribbon effect and a couple of flora doodles. I hope this brings a smile to your face.

Magnolia Vs Stampavie Challenge

This is my card for this weeks Magnolia v Stampavie challenge 'Show us your bow skills' and I must say I am very pleased with the out come of this one. I have used K&Co backing papers and water coloured Tilda. The oval and the flowers have been cut using my Cricut and I have added some lovely organza gold ribbon tied into bows. For affect I have put some gold liquid pearls around the oval and on the flowers which I think adds just that little bit extra to the design.
