A Sailing Boat Card

Good morning guys, how is everyone? I have had a lovely weekend in the garden and got loads of stuff done. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the grass seed I have put down grows and covers up my bare patches. So onto this weeks One Stop Craft Challenge we have a lovely challenge....

NOT SQUARE

We also have an exciting new sponsor 

The design team were given some lovely cutting files to play with and here is my sample for the challenge.

The shaped card is a Cutting Cafe Template, the sentiment made myself on word and the image is a Bugaboo Pirate image.

Birthday card for Mum

Good morning, I hope everyone is well. All is good here and at last the sun has been shining for the last few days. I actually managed to mow the lawn and do some gardening yesterday and the kids loved the fresh air playing. They are back to school on Tuesday which is my boyfriends birthday so it will give us chance to have a few kid free hours and go for a nice walk (weather permitting) and have lunch somewhere. 

It was my mums birthday on Friday and the card I'm sharing was for that, she was delighted with it and I also got her a little solar powered dancing daisy which she has wanted for ages since I got one for my car.

This card also ties in with this weeks One Stop Craft Challenge which is all about birthdays.

We are sponsored by the lovely

Mothers Day - Me To You

Good morning guys. I hope everyone is well? The sun i shining here on the East Coast and it looks beautiful out, its finally looking like Spring could be on the way. Its been a couple of weeks since i last blogged and thats due to quite a few health problems in the family and I have been running round taking my mum to appointments and feeling quite low because of it all. Today I am going to treat myself to a crafty few hours, thats my relaxing time. Anyway over at the one stop craft challenge we have a new challenge and the theme is .............

MOTHERS DAY

I made this card a few days ago using a Me To You Tatty Teddy Stamp, which I just adore. The papers are from various sets and flowers from my stash. I recently got a Craft Robo and used that to cut the sentiment out although I did find it a little fiddly trying to stick the individual letters on. Hope you all like it.

Love is in the air

Good evening guys, I hope everyone is well. Been a bit of a stressful time for me of late and with the kids being off school last week didn't get much of a chance to blog. I did want to share this card with you all as I do love it especially the image. The image is a saturated canary digi stamp Queen of Hearts, and here is the card I made using this image.

I have coloured her with promarkers, used a Marrianne heart 'die', the flowers I found in my stash and wish I could remember where I got the ones with hearts on as I think its lovely. I'm planning a week of card making this week so it will be promarkers to the ready :-)

First 'Tilda' Card of the year

Good afternoon guys, I have just been into town and had a delicious carvery for lunch and now just sat down to watch a film so thought I would share my latest card with you all. 

 I love this colour combo of different shades of brown and just a splash of red and green. The heart is a marrianne design die, and of course the super cute Magnolia Tild Princess stamp. The papers are Bazzil basics and First Edition J Adore papers. The little charm at the bottom of the card says 'wish' as most little girls grow up wishing and pretending to be a princess (well I did anyway lol).
