Miss You!!

Hi.... So today see's a new challenge over at Creative Craft Cottage.... The theme is "Layer It Up" and our sponsor this fortnight is

I used "Sweet Bear". Vintage seemed to be the feel I was getting so along that way it went....Although I stuck with one backing paper, (not my original intention), I did do lots of matting and layering with the backing paper and the image, even the ribbon

For the inside I used the matching paper and Kraft card that I had used on the front of the card. I used quite a few mixed flowers and a simple stamped sentiment....

Roxy in Bright

Hi all, so sorry I'm a little late with my post for Digi Galore's new monthly challenge, really not sure who's to blame, myself or blogger's scheduling but I'm here now lol... Soooo, a quick post now, the challenge this month is "Summery/Bright" and our lovely sponsor is  

and I have used Ice Cream Roxy. Coloured with Promarkers, I  kept it as bright and summery as I could, but as the paper was bright and busy I kept the layout quite simple...

Good morning, good morning.. Huge apologies for my lack of posts but there has been lots going on on the craft room and I am hopeful that this week will be a better week than the last few as they have relentless with bad luck....

So..... Let's start with some happy news... A lovely lady called Anet recently left a comment on my blog asking me if I would be interested in joining a new DT Team... How lovely.... Although I have made a decision to cut back on my DT's,  having visited the Challenge site I decided it would be a lovely place to play and hopefully you will join in too...

So without further ado I am extremely proud to tell you that I am now a DT Member for "Creative Craft Cottage"... We are a fortnightly challenge, falling on the 7th and 21st of each month...

So onto our new challenge and the theme this fortnight is "Spots and Stripes" and we are sponsored by the talented Rick St dennis .... 

I used the stunning "Santa Naps"

I've used a poinsettia die to make in contrasting papers and card... The paper is matted on to kraft card... I coloured the image in Promarkers...

Coffee with Riff

Good morning lovely people.... So a few weeks ago, I blogged a card I made for my friend Julie, and as I explained at the time there is also Annie and they are affectionately known by me as Riff and Raff and last weekend it was her birthday...  

Annie's card was going to have to be classy and pretty, as a self proclaimed princess, whiches were not going to cut the mustard for Annie... So to the ever faithful LOTV box of stamps I went and as when ever the two of us meet up for coffee it turns in to a three hour session lol, I thought this stamp called "Coffee Break" would be perfect...She loves the garden and the out-doors, so I tried to give it a bright summery feel, in her favourite colours, topped with lots of flowers...

Using the same paper for the inside....
