Daisy, Daisy ......

Morning troops, nipping on for a quick post before I head out later this morning.  I am off to the football with Barry, his beloved team Dundee is playing locally at Alloa so we are heading to the pub and then the footie and probably back to the pub ...lol..   Can't have a sore head for tomorrow though as we have a craft stall for the Brionni Trust in the afternoon.

I have used good old Daisy for this card, I think she is my all time favourite stamp.  Did a wee bit of faux stitching around her.  Papers are from my scrap drawer, ribbon, brad and flower are from stash.  Tools uses are my Nesties and Martha Stewart Border punch.  The challenges covered are:-

Dress for Success

Evening peeps. Yay! It's Friday again, hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend.  I have a busy weekend ahead so no time for crafting, boo hoo!

This is one of the commissioned cards I had to make.  The lady has received the huge A4 card now so I can share with you lovely peeps.  The main focus is actually a recycled shop bought birthday card.  I added the top sentiment to hide where I had removed the previous one.  The backing paper was a freebie from an old craft magazine.  The glasses embellishment is a 3D sticker from Poundland.  Peel off numbers are from stash.  The challenges used are:-

Have. Lovely weekend

Pretty in Pink

Afternoon peeps.  Having a lazy day today, enjoying the sunshine and the golf.  Had a sharp awaking this morning, Woody, our youngest cat, brought into the house at around 6am, a mouse, he then preceded to drop it down in the middle of the living room floor, watch it scurry away in the corner, then turn rounded and toddled off back outside leaving Barry and I hunting for this mouse - which we still haven't found!

While keeping one eye on the telly watching the golf and the the eye looking out for the mouse, I have managed to make this easel card using a fabby Gorjuss Girl from Sugar Nellie.  The sentiment I have discovered is from Docrafts which I have ink chalked round the edge. The majority of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Tools used are my Martha Stewart border punch, rectangle Nesties and my Swiss Dots embossing folder.  The challenges entered today are:-

Fifty Shades of Grey

Tut, Tut, Tut ....... Not THAT kind of fifty shades...lol ... It's a monochrome anniversary card I have made ..lol..  The backing paper is from DCVW, I also used silver mirror card and some brushed steel looking card (if there is such a thing...lol). The stamped image is an Anita's stamp, the roses coloured gray and then I popped some Anita's 3D gloss on, though it hasn't shown up very well in the photo.  Sentiment printed off computer and embellished with some diecut hearts and peel offs.  Tools used are my Nesties and an embossing folder.  The challenges covered are:-
I am heading back to the garden to enjoy this wonderful weather again today.

Life is a Beach

Morning peeps, posting from the sunny garden this morning.  The weather already is fabulous.  Already done my houseworky jobs.  I think later Barry and I are heading into Stirling,  he has decided to upgrade his mobile to an iPhone and we might have to stop off at a beer garden somewhere for a cheeky wee bar lunch.... Lol ....  Also today it is the famous "Alva Games" so we might even pop in there to watch all the events ..... I can see sitting here just now that they are preparing the course for the hill race ... I get knackered just watching ...lol....

I was having a little play last night, trying to use up some old stash and I had made this quick A5 card.  The image is from stash (think I may have got in a swap).   The background image and sentiment are diecuts from Docrafts.  Backing paper is from stash, as are clipbrads.  The challenges covered are:-
Hope you all have a lovely day...
