Moving Along with the Times & Spoonfull of Sugar

Good evening peeps.  We have had another glorious day here again, that's three in a row, must be a record... lol...... and what a shame I was sitting in a office at work looking out! .... lol.  I am just sneaking on with a card I made this evening before my back decided that enough was enough!  It has been quite painful recently so sitting at my table is kinda of a chore.  Anyway that's my wee mumble over and back to the crafting and it's another Xmas card.  I followed the fabulous sketch over at Moving Along with the Times and across at Spoonful of Sugar it is "Christmas"  (handy ...lol).

This cute mouse image is from one of the Penny Black Clear Stamps Range.  Papers are DCVW with the flower from stash.  The sentiment is printed from the PC.

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

Crimbo Card

I'm afraid I couldn't bring myself to start on Xmas until after July was out even though I know I will be stressed out by October trying to get everything all done. So be warned in advance that it will be Christmas Card Central on here for the next few months. I had the most enjoyable day yesterday crafting with my Lesley (aka Pinkles Dreams) and managed to make a few cards inbetween the laughter.

I dug out this Charlie stamp from Whiff of Joy.  The DP are from Dovecrafts, snowflake, brad and mini pompoms are from stash.  The challenges I have entered this card into are:-

• Papertake Weekly  -  White & Bright
• Whiff of Joy  -  Fuzz
• Truly Scrumptious  -  Sketch & "Golden Oldie"  (Charlie stamp)
• Stampavie & more -  Black & White & another (blue)
• Moving along with the times  -  Christmas

Hope you all are having a lovely weekend and speak soon.

New Home Card

Afternoon peeps, well, on with my first card of the day.  One of the girls at work has asked for a new home card for a lady who likes DIY, so after a few play abouts, I came up with this,

The house stamp is from a 99p bargain bucket I think.  I had great fun making it into a picture using acetate and some wood effect card.  The DP paper is from K & Co. and I have used Sizzix dies for the handyman tools.  The challenges I have entered this into are:-

• Dutch Dare  -  "Anything Goes"
• Cute Card Thursday  -  "Whateva!"
• Creative Inspirations  -  "Anything Goes"

Hopefully will be back later with another (depending on how well the red wine goes down!!....lol).

The Weekend is here...........

Yippee - the weekend is here and I am planning a very serious craft-a-thon starting this evening and finishing on Sunday evening.  The supermarket journey was done on my way home from work so I should not have to venture out again!!!  I feel really guilty I haven't been on lately but fear not, with the football season back on I should be crafting again as normal now at my table. 

I have used "Porridge" from the homegrown Sugar Nellie range and the DP paper is from DCVW.  My leaves are made by using my MS punch and the flowers, gems and brads are from stash.  The challenges I am entering this card in are:-

• The Sugar Bowl  - "Do it yourself" - sketch No. 15.
• Crafty Cardmakers  -  "Punches"
• Ooh La La  -  "Birthday"
• Colour Create  -  "Hot Pink, Warm Orange & Saffron"
• Creative Inspirations  -  "Anything Goes"
• Simon Says  -  "Sing it Baby"  (Babe - Take That)
• Cute Card Thursday  -  "Whateva!"

My batteries are charged and patiently waiting (foot tapping) for Baza to finish his dinner so I can get to my table to play!!!!!!!!

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.

Bunny Anniversary Card

Afternoon again with a second post for today.  Made this card using the fabulous sketch across at Moving along with the Times.  The image is a Messy Rabbit one from Joanna Sheen.  Papers are from Papermania and other stuff are from stash.  The other challenge is Spoonfull of Sugar is "Animal Crackers".  They do have an optional challenge for your child to enter too, but since my two pussycats are having a very lazy day sleeping upstairs, I am entering alone ........lol.

Challenge Card

Afternoon everyone and a very wet and wild afternoon it is too.  Sorry I have not been on for a while but we had a wee hiccup with the Internet connection, (Barry playing about with the wifi thingy) so hopefully that is it fixed now - with the help of our friend Dougie.  I haven't been doing much crafting either this week as was not feeling too well (Caught a bit of Barry's man flu!  lol).  Anyway, today I am spending a day at my table playing with my stuff.

This is an image I have in my box for ages and I have no clue where it came from The English Paper Co.  Diecut buttons, sticky ribbon and sentiment are from stash.  The papers are from the This card I have made for the following challenges:-

Papertake Weekly  -  "SIn Stitches"
Stamp with Fun  -  "Birthday"
My Time to Craft  -  "Zig Zags"

Hoping to be back with a few more.
