Making up for lost time

I know - 3 posts in one day - unheard of in the house of Digney!

Having to make up for lost time away from computer while scrapbooking like mad!!!

I have one more card to show you then I'm off to bed as have to go to work tomorrow, as I didn't win the Euromillions (well had 2 numbers and 1 lucky star, but can hardly give up work with winnings of £5.00 odds LOL).

Here's the card:

The pp is Hampstead by Papermania that I won on a bloghop earlier in the year. The butterflies are punched with bits of bling added to the wings and bodies. I also used my new nestie for the blue background.

I did have a close up of the image, but I can get it to load :o(

The image is a Sugar Nellie Stamp that I got in my local craft shop, using a bit of my £25 loyalty bonus for filling my loyalty card!! I coloured her with my PMs.

I'd like to enter the above card in the following challenge:

Thanks once again for looking - off to bed now - nightie-night

A little bit of sunshine through the snow!

Morning from a v.white West Coast of Scotland!

I dunno what everybody is moaning about - I love the stuff, all white and fluffy and irresistable. Dontcha just love putting your footprints in the newly fallen stuff??

Here's the 6 foot snowman outside my door, built by my eldest Robert (on the left) and the two kids from down the street. The outside cupboards were raided for arms and hence the two badminton rackets sticking out of the snowman. They had to get Billy (my hubby) to lift the body and head onto him as it was so heavy. Ross (3) isn't in the photo as he was far to busy in the snow to be bothered with all that photo-taking malarky.

Over at Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge Blog this week they are using the colourwheel, and you have to choose the colour opposite your favourite colour to make a card! I looovveee BLUE (don't see the point in other colours - well other than to show off how nice blue is LOL). Therefore, I had to use ORANGE to make my card!! Not a colour I use very often I must admit, but I don't hate it. I did struggle a bit looking for orange stash, but then came across a Docrafts Goodiebag from a while ago that had the Capsule Collection inside - and it was all orangey and lemony - just perfect!

Here's my card with the ever so adorable Jack on it!

Doesn't look like he'll be so adored when the rightful owner of those flowers finds out though LOL.  The ribbon, brads and papers are all from the Capsule Collection.

Jack (who you can buy here - and for December get another stamp half price!) was coloured with my Promarkers and I added some ickle flowers I found in my stash to the image with little bits of bling in the middle of them to make it a wee bit more 3-D. I think they work really well.

The sentiment is from a free stamp set with the Docrafts magazine this month, and just suits this image to a T. I also added some more of the ickle flowers to balance things up a bit.

I'm quite chuffed with my orange card, and you never know I may use it more in the future.

Over at MAWTT this week they are looking for cards 'For Someone Special', and this card is just right soooo - I'd like to enter the above card in the following challenges:

Naptime at 365 Cards

Hello

Just a quick post, with a quick card that I made for my dad for his birthday.

Over at 365 Cards this week one of the days is to make a card incorporating 'Naptime'. This card is just perfect for that challenge don't you think?

The stamped image and sentiments are from Papermania and the papers are from K & Co. Coloured with my Promarkers (the chair is the exact colour of my parent's lounge suite lol). He actually looks like my dad, and the quote is one of my dad's favourtie sayings :o).

I'd like to enter the card in the below challenge:

That's all folks! Told you it was a quick one.

A Happy Ever After...

I'm back!

I had a wee bit of spare time on my hands so thought I would make a couple of challenge cards today. On doing this I have discovered that I really really NEED craft storage space!!! Although even once I have it I probably still won't be able to find what I want in my stash.

After much hunting I came across all the bits for the below wedding card, it could also be used for an anniversary card as the sentiment is quite generic (big word for a Sunday). I think I will be giving it to my mum and dad who will be 44 years married this year.

The stamped image is by Lily of the Valley and the sentiment is by Elzybell. The papers are Papermania ones that I have had for years - hence why I couldn't find them :o) The flowers are from stash and the pearls from Kaiser Scrapbook. The flower centre is a brad which was part of a huge scrapbook set from Costco, which I got for very little pennies :oD - love a bargain me!
