Cute Card Thursday

Afternoon everyone. I am redeeming myself slowing from my earlier slip.......lol. Trying to speed my redemption by using two stamped images on the card!!!!.

The theme over at Cute Card Thursday is "Quotations". My printer is still not working (all it needs is ink but it is soooo expensive I'd rather spend my pennies on stamps...lol) so giving you one of my own quotes (Karen-isms) was out of the question. So, luckily (for you guys!) I had a quote stack from DCVW at hand.

The two Magnolia Tilda's were coloured by my paints. Backing paper is from the DCVW Spring Stack. Ribbon & flowers from my ever growing stash. (Sorry about the photo - every picture came out super shiney)

Baza is currently fast asleep on the sofa so I am in charge of the remote control......yay!..... and yet what am I watching..................flicking between the Tennis and Cricket.....why!..lol.

I've been a bad girl!!!!

And, I might add, it was not all my fault!!!!! One or two of you out there are to blame (and you know who you are). My crime...........................................

I bought a couple of the new Whiff of Joy stamps that went on sale at midnight!........lol

Naughty, naughty peeps, telling me about these super, gorgeous stamps.............I just could not resist.....lol.

Now I have to pay my penance and play with the stamps I already have to justify my purchase.

Once again, NOT ALL MY FAULT!!!!!. hugs Kaza.xxx

Creative Card Crew & Forever Friends

Morning evening, hope everyone is well and having a great weekend. Just popping on and posting just before I go to work - Boo Hiss!......lol. Never mind, I will get to look at all your wonderful creations when I get home in about 12 hours time......

Managed to do another card will 2 challenges in 1 (I'm slowly learning all these multi tasks.....lol).

This is Creative Card Crew - Geometric Patterns and over at Forever Friends - Citrus Twist.

I have used the new 3 dimensional stickers from FF, papers from Papermania and peel off & brads from stash. (Printer still not playing)

Have a good day and see you all later. hugs Kaza.xxx

Magnolia Down Under & ABC

I am still in shock 'coz it is still sunny!!!!.....lol.......washing is dry - Yay!. Got the doors & windows open breathing in the fresh air - it's a good job I don't suffer from hay fever.

This is the first time, I think, that I have managed to incorporate 2 challenges into 1 card. Magnolia Down Under - "All About A Boy" and ABC Challenge is "R for Roses".

Love this Edwin holding the roses, he is delightful, coloured with my paints. Backing papers are from DCWV, shapes cut out with oval Nesties and brads & ribbon from stash.

Gosh, all the this crafting builds up an appetite, I'm popping away to make a quick sarnie, mmmm........ chicken tikka sounds good.

Winter Wonderland

A very good sunny morning to everyone. Day off today and hoping to play, play, play......lol. Finished this card last night for the challenge over at Winter Wonderland - the theme is Christmas Carol. I decided upon "While Shepherds Flocked" and while humming and singing along to slightly altered wording to the original I managed not to get into character by popping a tea towel on me heid........lol.I just love this image from Penny Black and I have coloured it with my paints from The Works (they were such a bargain at £2.99 and I use them all the time and they are lasting ages & ages). Just off to do a couples of wee jobs about the house and then back for more........ See you all soon. Hugs Kaza.xxx

Charisma Cardz & Allsorts

Evening peeps, thought I'd pop these 2 challenges on just now before I have my tea this evening. Over at Charisma Cardz it is a Colour Combo Challenge - Pink & Brown.

I have used a image from stash and papers are from the DCWV Spring Stack. Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. Oval & Label Nesties. Sentiment was hand written by myself. Brads, gem & ribbon were from stash.

I came across the Allsorts Challenge a wee while ago when I was blog-hopping on Dido's Designs (aka Hazel) one day. It is a fairly new site and this week it was also a Colour Combo Challenge - Pink & White. Which was ideal for me with these baby cards to make.

I got this pram stamp in the bargain dumpbins at my local Paper Mill Shop - 99p. Used my Swiss Dots embossing folder and the old faithful Nesties. My stash of peeloffs have been coming in really handy at the moment with my printer not working still.

Tummy is rumbling so way to see what I can rustle up in the kitchen (looks like it is scrambled eggs on toast......lol........as cooking is not my strongest asset).

Forever Friends & Daisy 'n' Dandelion

Evening all folks, hope all is OK in Blogland and are enjoying the last of the weekend. I have managed a few cards today which has been really really nice to sit and do and relax.

The 1st one is for the Forever Friends sketch challenge. I think I have just managed to squeeze this in before the cut off time.

I have used one of the decoupaged kits and the backing paper is also from FF. Stamped sentiment is from the Stampin' Up range.

This next card is for the Daisy & Dandelion challenge and it is one I have been following but this is the first time I have actually made & entered but I loved the Black & White theme along with a sketch.

I have used a sticker I got free from the Docrafts Magazine. All 3 size's of daisy's are punches from Woodware and I popped a wee gem in each of the centres of the flowers. Off now to start watching the final of the Apprentice which is recording up stairs. Hugs Kaza. xxx

"I'm a Real Winter Wonderland Winner!!!"

Woo-Hoo!!!!. Lucky, lucky me has won the Blog Candy over at the fabulous new Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog. I am so chuffed to bits.

Will be back on hopefully later as in the middle of making cards for the girl at work, Louise, who has had her baby - girl - yesterday morning. Little Eilidh Beth was a whopping 9lb 14oz born by Cesarean, (gosh, I nearly had visions of her pushing something the size of a pumpkin through something the size of a grape!!!!.......lol).

Catch ya all later Hugs Kaza.xxx

Friday Sketchers

Me again, I'm a bit surprised myself as I thought I would be have been having big Z's on the couch (maybe after dinner)...lol. This is my take on the sketch over at Friday Sketchers. Another girl at the work asked me to make her a Get Well Soon card.

I have used Forever Friends Diecut Decoupage which is great as I am useless at cutting out and seem to have no patience for it either. The Backing paper is from the same FF kit. Used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. Flowers & GWS sentiment is from stash.

Mojo Monday

Afternoon to everyone. Hope you are all enjoying your Friday and looking forward to the weekend ahead. This is my day off and working over the weekend - Boo Hiss......lol. and boy, had I needed today off, I am totally shattered as been doing long hours in the shop with hardly any breaks. My head feels half asleep still, and that's after about half a dozen coffees......lol.

So I am doing no housework today and want to relax at my table so I have started today with a great sketch over at Mojo Monday. One of the girls at work had asked me a make a 1st Birthday card for a wee boy so I thought the sketch just fitted fine.

The image is, I think, a Stamping Up one which I coloured & then added some 3D gloss over the icing. Backing paper from a Forever Friends Decoupage Kit.

Hopefully I will be back again, if I don't fall asleep on the couch. Hugs Kaza xxx
