Hello!!!!

Good afternoon your lovely peeps.  Hope you are all having a good weekend.  Autumn/Winter is definitely upon us here, with the trees shedding their leaves and the frosty mornings ..... brrrrrr!!! ..... I just want to stay cozy in bed and hibernate!  I finally had chance for a wee play at my table this weekend and here is a couple of my creations:-

This is a quick and simple card using my origami skills (shirts are the only thing I have learnt to make so far!!  lol).  Tools used are square nesties, Cuttlebug embossing folder and MS border punch. Ribbon and card candies from stash, with sentiment printed of the computer.  The challenges covered are:-

• Cards for Men  -  Anything Goes
• Papertake Weekly  -  Penny for the Guy (Male Card)
• C.R.A.F.T.  -  Dry Embossing

This card is using a PB Stickeroo, they are really handy when a card is needed in a hurry.  Again, my Nesties and embossing folders are used.  Ribbon & flowers are from stash and the tag is from a Forever Friends pack.  The challenges covered on this card are:-

• My Time to Craft  -  Quick & Cute
• Totally Papercrafts  -  Tag it!
• Our Creative Corner  -  Attitude of Gratitude

Baby Girl Card

Evening everyone, hope you are having much better weather then here in Central Scotland.  I am home alone this evening as Barry is away to the football (Stenhousemuir v Dundee) in the ALBA Cup, so I am planning to make a card or two.  I am starting with this little baby girl card.

I am afraid I do not know where the image is from but I have coloured with my paints and added some gold Stickles.  The DP are from my scraps drawer.  The emossing is done by a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and the brads, ribbon and baby's dummy are from stash.  The challenges I have covered are:-

• Creative Card Crew  -  Cute & Girlie
• Our Creative Corner  -  Embossing

Summer??? - Where's the Sun Gone!

Well, if this is July, I can't wait for August!!! It might bring some sunshine........ lol.  It has been a windy, rainy month so far.  So today seeing all these challenges with summer in mind cheered me up a bit from out of the doldrums.  I have lost my mojo over the last wee while so I am hoping it is returning.  Funny how it comes and goes - do you think it has something to do with the moon? ......lol

I do so love these new characters from Lili of the Valley.  Quite a few of these stamps over the last few months have ended up in my virtual shopping basket - and making it all the way through check-out.  I am prone to do shop "window shopping" online and then log out before I actually reach checkout, it feels like retail therapy, without costing anything!  As I mentioned earlier, there are quite a few challenge blogs with similar themes so I have covered a few, they are:-

• Lili of the Valley  -  Sketch by Dawny
• Daring Cardmakers  -  We are Sailing........
• Allsorts  -  Summer Days
• Secret Crafter  -  Summer Holidays
• Our Creative Corner  -  Beach Layout

I am off to a BBQ a little later - weather is not promising at all - so I shall pop my pac-a-mac in my bag just in case.

Male Golfing Card

Afternoon peeps, trying to cram some crafting in today amongst other jobs.  Have done this male card using some decoupage I had made but not popping onto anything.  The challenges I have covered are Cards for Men - "Outdoors", Our Creative Corner - "Masculine Birthday" and Magical Crafts - "Black & White & Another".

It is quite a simple card with using black peel-offs for the sentiments and extra golf embellishments.  The Design Paper is from a Papermania Inspiration Paperpack..

Our Creative Corner

Morning peeps, up bright and early, typical on my day off. Seem to have a lot to do today so will have to plan ahead, usually I just go with the flow, which means generally I get nothing done....lol.

Thought I would start the day off with a sketch. This is a fantastic one over at Our Creative Corner. I had been asked to make a 60th male card for a golfer and I thought this would fit perfectly.

Used the golfer off the Clare Curd clear stamp range, papers from K & Co and peeloffs are from stash.

To drop this card off later (another job...lol) and next job is to make a coffee!!!!!!! hugs Kaza.xxx
