Minimal - Creative Card Crew

A very good evening to everyone. The sun has been splitting the skys today but a very chilly wind has been gusting around ya cockles...lol. I expect the weather will turn by Sunday 'coz that's when I'm off..lol.

Just the one card today. I had been asked to make a Get Well Card for one of our customers who has had a stroke, bless him, he is such a lovely chap so the pressure has been on to make it!. I have been racking my brains what to do and eventually I came up with the following. It has tied in nicely to the challenge that the delightful Joey has set over at Creative Card Crew - "Minimal". Don't know if I have made it too sparse though!.

I don't know what I used to do before embossing folders! I think they must be one of my lifelines in my craft box nowadays. Nothing much else to say - lol.

Cute Card Thursday

Evening all peeps. Hope all is well in Blogland. Just a short post tonight as I'm heading to bed to get my beauty sleep - and boy - I need alot of that!!!.

Over at Cute Card Thursday - is "Happy Mail" - Create a card to cheer someone up or make their day! It is on behalf of postpals, they invite members of the public to log on from around the world and send a card to a child. The aim is to make the child smile. I had never heard of them before but such a worthwhile cause & I shall be sending more in the future.

I couldn't resist using one of my Gorjuss Girls from Sugar Nellie. She is such a sweetie. I coloured her in using my watercolour pencils and paints from the Works.
Well I'm away to bed now and looking forward to some sweet dreams - (managed to get tickets to see Take That at Hamden Park next month).........whayyyy!!!!!!

3 Challenges this afternoon

Good evening everyone. Sorry I have not been on for a couple of days but for a change I have had a social life.......lol. I've been visiting a couple of friends during the week and then yesterday I was giving a friend a helping hand at her daughters birthday "pamper" party. Last night I went out for a super meal at our local Mexican restaurant, it was delicious.....mmmm..... I could eat it all again just now....lol.

I have to thank all those lovely blogger friends who have been so kind lately and nominated little old me for a few awards......THANK YOU......... I will be putting them on my blog with pride. XXX.

This afternoon I have had a chance to play and have done a few challenges and trying to catch-up on what everyone else has been up to.......naughty and nice.....lol........so to the challenges.....

This first card is for Stamp with Fun, the challenge this week was to create a 10.5 x 5.8 inch card. (I think/hope that's the same as a DL card 'coz that's what I've made...lol).

I decided to make a Christmas Card to help buildup my stash. The image is a Sugar Nellie home grown snowman coloured beautifully by Lesley and her magic Pro-makers (its amazing what a bribe of homemade chilli can do...lol).

***

Over at the Creative Card Crew Blog the challenge is it incorporate some sort of "embossing".

I used my Cuttlebug Swirl folder for this, the image is Lola from Sugar Nellie. The Backing Paper I just love, it's from the Picnic Patch from Daisy and Dandelion, my only disappointment is you only get one sheet of each paper - boo hiss.......lol.

***

Finally, my last challenge I attempted was Rainbow Lady's, she challenged us to create using a "frame".

Again my cooking (well really Baza's - I burn everything) has become my saviour as Lesley coloured this image for me with her bionic pens. It is an Elizabeth Bell design from Sugar Nellie. I used a frame I have had in my stash for yonks and yonks.
That's it for now folks and I'm gonna go blog-hopping.

Secret Crafter

Rain rain go away come again another day! Makes you get a bad hair day, so today at lunchtime I popped into the hairdresser's and booked an appointment for Saturday morning - I'm gonna get it all chopped off!!! New style - new woman.

Louise, at the work, loved her card I made her and already she has decorated most of the rooms in her new house. Not her personally, I might add, she was doing the supervising. With the bump as big as she has the most she can do just now is dunk a biscuit in her tea!

She finishes up work at the end of the week so with that in mind I have made her a wee card to wish her luck. I have incorporated the challenge over at Secret Crafter - "flowers".

I used a template that someone has kind enough to email me some time ago. The Black/White papers are from DCWV and the teal one is from the Clare Curd Papermania Range. I used black stickles in the flowers as centres. The ribbon is the same colour but in the photo its morphed into another...lol.

Hope everyone is having a good evening & speak soon.

Ho Ho Ho - Friday Sketchers & Cute Card

Evening all folks. Don't know what's been wrong with me today - think I have been time-warped by 6 months as it seems the Festive Season has hit this house!.

My 2 cards I have created this evening are Christmas, my dessert for my tea was a delicious Christmas Pudding with Ice Cream and the dear Baza here is hinting ever so subtly what he wants for birthday/Xmas by showing me it on the Internet & even popping it in his online basket(wishlist). He will he have to be a very good boy from now to then.

I loved doing the sketch at Friday Sketchers because I have had this image laying around for ages and I have Been desparate to use it.

The Backing Paper is from Papermania and I used my clear Stickles to bring sparkle to the fur.

The challenge over at Cute Card Thursday was "Mirror Mirror". I immediately thought of Sleeping Beauty and the wicked witch but seeing that I never had either I stuck with making another Crimbo card.

The image I think is Millie from Pink Gem, again I Stickles the image with clear and Silver. I used grey mirror card for the snowflake but doesn't seem to show up very well in the photo.

Well I'm away now just to double-check my calender......lol.

Truly Scumptious Challenge

Morning everyone. Here I am up bright and early, done all my wee jobs around the house apart the garden 'coz it is a bit cloudy and windy here today. Typical, Bank Holiday Monday and the weather is pants!...lol.

I am home alone today so I trying to get all my birthday cards done for the month plus the Charity has the first event of the year on Saturday 16th so I am trying to do some more cards for the stall for them to sell. It is being held in a local village hall, unfortunately I am having to be at my own work so making cards is my little contribution this time.

Started this morning doing the sketch over at Truly Scrumptious with the theme "Something to eat". I have cheekily used an Tilda image coloured by the lovely Lesley with her magic Pro-markers, she keeps trying to get me to buy them - not tempted at the mo - but never say never!

I have just used up some paper scraps and embossed them with various Cuttlebug folders. Brads and parcel embellie is from stash.

Busy Bee Me - 2 More Challenges

Well, the football has now finished and Baza is onto the Nascar now (boo hiss - much prefer F1 if I have to watch any motor racing) Managed to make the Sunday Dinner without burning anything -Yeah! and my cheeks are a little flushed with the red wine I have been sipping this afternoon...lol

Blogging these two cards and then I am gonna catch up with all you crazy lot to see what you have been up to. The first one is for Stamp with Stampavie which was a sketch. Made this for one of my gorgeous nieces whose birthday is later on this month.

These Sugar Nellie designs are growing on me more & more, didn't like them at first at all. The wooden flowers I have had for yonks but can't remember where I got them. I tried to glitter up the image by popping clear stickles on the wings and the WISH.

The next card I have created is for one of my friend's birthday this month - Gosh, I have alot of birthdays this month - and I used the challenge over at Spoon Full of Sugar - Green & Blue.

I have had these mega-flowers for ages, they are huge, but they seem to fit fine on this A5 size card. A little Gorjuss Girl again and the Backing Paper is from the Clare Curd range from Papermania.

I'm away now for some snooping on your blogs and a bit more wine....lol. Cuddles Kaza.xxx

Creative Card Crew

Afternoon peeps. Still enjoying my Sunny Sunday, should really be taken time out in the garden as I have flowers to plant, but I just want to play instead and there is always tomorrow!.

I have done this card for the challenge across at Creative Card Crew, it is a lovely sketch. The card is for one of my friend's little girl, Erin. She hits double figures, 10, on Tuesday and she is a right wee girlie girl so I thought a Gorjuss Girl is right up her street.

I think at the moment she is my favourite Gorjuss Girl, but that could easily change by the end of the day.

Stamp with Fun

A very good morning to everyone and a warm welcome to my new followers. I full appreciate everyone taking some of your precious time out to visit little old me and your kind words and comments are very much welcomed.

I hope everyone is well. I am enjoying the sunshine and the peace and quiet and got my sounds on. Baza is on the golf course at the mo but due in soon so my bubble will be shattered .....huff......lol. Never mind I can sit at my table and play while the footie is on the TV. Secretly I quite like watching the footie - but don't tell Baza that! - or my fun will be spoilt when I pretend to not know the players or the rules and then to proceed to ask really stupid questions that wynds him up - hey, I've got to get my kicks someway!...lol.

I have started today with a little sketch from Stamp with Fun. Louise at the work got her keys for her house on Friday there, so this is a little card for her. Also she is expected her baby in a couple of weeks time so it's all action stations just now for little Lou!. She is such a sweet girl.......reminds me of myself when I was younger....lol.

I have used a stamp at got at the Papermill Shop - 99p - bargain. Backing paper - I think - is from the English Paper Co. and flower and ribbons are from stash.
