I like to ride my bicycle...I like to ride my bike...

bicycle, bicycle....are you all singing along or am I the only one old enough to know the words lol.

I made a card just for fun woohoo, the crafting seems to have been one event after another recently and no time for a just in case card. I think I need to start planning ahead a bit more and then I wouldn't find myself with ten cards all needed for that week lol.

I love the cards Vicky makes and she is always tempting me with papers, images and bits so I thought I would make a card inspired by her. I have used a Pollycraft image and nitwit papers, I must confess to already having the papers but never using them together. The photo looks a little washed out, need to find a better place to take the photos.

Ingredients

Image: Pollycraft

Papers: Nit Wit

Cardstock: Stampin up "Crumb Cake"

Brad: Eyelet Outlet

I love brads and am just about to place an order from eyelet outlet, when I see them on the screen I can think of loads of ideas to use them but when they arrive I can't bear to, is anyone else like this or am I all alone lol.

Happy Anniversary

I am sharing this card a tad late, my friends had their first anniversary last Sunday and I made this card for them but unfortunately it has sat in my bag until today.

Well the event was a huge success, a few hiccups on the day but I was remarkably calm, I seem to get nervous the few days before when everyone is swapping and changing but once all the competitors turned up I relaxed. Have a whole year until we do it again lol.

Anyway onto the card, I used a digi stamp from Wee Stamps, link in my side bar and I really enjoyed colouring this one. I used a paper and design I have used before as it works so well.

I still haven't been into my craftroom so the advent calendar is still the same as last week ....soon I promise

MIA for a few days

Morning, just wanted to say hello to my new followers and say thank you for following me.

I am going to be MIA for a few days, nothing exciting but a large event at work which means late nights and no crafting time boohoo.

I had a fab time on Sunday with all the Bristol playday girls and if/when I finish the advent calendar I will pop in on here for you all to look/laugh at lol.

See you all soon.

Three Little Dogs

Morning All, I couldn't sleep last night so decided to get up and do something useful lol. It has been a really busy week and I am still getting over the lurgy so the craft room has been a colouring zone only for the last week. I have used three separate images from Just Inklined for this card as my friend has two jack russells and a bulldog. They came as jpgs though and as hubbie was snoring loudly I couldn't work out how to merge so printed them all separately and cut and stuck them on.

I have just realised I took this picture before I added the nailheads...what am I like.

This is a part snippet card as well, I used snippets for the cardstock and even the white they are mounted on but I did print the main paper so won't be entering it in the weekly snippet makes. Note to self, must try harder to use the mountain before it takes over the room.

Ingredients

Images: Just Inklined

Paper: Pink Petticoat

Lime green baby

Now although I like green I wouldn't say lime green is my favourite but I might change my mind after making this card. I love the fresh greens in her dress and had a blast colouring her in. I am ashamed to say I have had this digi stamp for over a year and she has never seen the light of day....shame on me.

Lil Pops

Anyone who visits my blog will know my fondness for digistamp boutique images and this new set is no exception, the lil pops set 1 has six images and each one is super cute. I have used one of these for this birthday card and I had loads of fun colouring her in.

She has been stickled, glossy accented and copic spica'd to within an inch of her life lol. Love these papers, bought them from Raspberry Road in their sale and ashamed to say this is the first time I have used them, they are from the journal collection (just checked the site and they are a bargain at only $1).

A special new home card for my cousin who is buying her first home with her boyfriend, just wanted to say congratulations and hope they will be very happy there, they certainly deserve it.

Quite a plain and simple card as she doesn't like a lot of fuss and definitely no pink. They are going for brown and cream colour scheme in their lounge so this seemed the perfect combination to use.

I don't have a digi stamp for a new home card except the Mo Manning one which seemed a bit too cute for this young couple so needed something different when I remembered a font from Lettering Delights called "Home Sweet Home" seemed quite appropriate really.
