"Glitter, Glitter, Everywhere, on the Card and in My Hair!"

Completed my card for the very interesting DCM topic this week for the mid week challenge "This time the challenge is to pick one letter and see how many things you can use on your card that begin with that letter.
Now then, you can't choose "P" and just have pink paper, pink brads, pink ink, pink ribbon - oh no no no, that's not the way it works!
You could however, use A pink card blank, paper, petals, plasma, a monogram P, something Purple, a Flower Pot..."

So I used the letter G, now bear with me as I have to remeber them all...

Green (flowers, paper), Glitter, Grace, and of course Glue!

BIRTHDAY COMPETITION, Celebrate Good Times- Come on!

Well it be my Birthday today!... I am thinking of running another competition.... Will gather together some bits for a prize later, but in the mean time, if you can guess my age, then you will be put in to PRIZE DRAW, Winner to be announced in a weeks time!

SUNDAY EVENING: I have just loaded this card I finished off using the CPS sketch. The main Gebera is from a photo I took, and I inked the primas to try and match the colours, and used some fabby text stamps from part of my b'day pressie!

A Touch of Frost

Sir Frosty (as I like to call him with his top hat!), was taken from Chris' blog, who is running a comp at the mo, go take a look! And I used the inspiration from the great team at Daring Card Makers to incorporate buttons (which have neatly doubled up as snowballs!) to come up with this number...

Dedicated to the one I love

...Cath Kitson! Why didn't i think of that first... that something as simple as polka dots could sell well! Anyway here is my card just in time for the DCM extra challenge 'dots and dashes!' what a fun idea! Going to make a pink one as well, as you can see my blue ink pad got contaminated! 3 days till my birthday whoo hoo!

Cheap Frills

Here is my take on this week's DCM dare 'You must make a card with a frill - it could be some lace, frilly ribbon, a hand cut or decorative scissor edge or a folded paper frill - or what ever you choose to make.... you decide!' Cheap frills inplying I only used a pair of deckled scissors and used a hole punch to create my frilly look.

Stitched Up

Wednesday Stamper Challenge for the next couple of weeks is to incorporate stitching. I lvoe stitching on cards and wish i was brave enough to give it a go, I fear needles broken and tantrums starting! May be one day... But in the mean time my trusty faux stitch stamps come to the rescue! Just what I needed to add the finishing touched to this card...
I used tapestry stamp pegs, for the floral detail in the border, prima flowers, ric rac, and some sticker toppers I got in the sale from Accesorize

Life to the Full

Here is my FIRST 6 x12 layout for the SALT challenge, Life to the Full "This theme comes from the verse John 10:10b where Jesus says that He has come so we may have life and have it to the full (or in abundance)!" Using torn DCWV paper in floral and denim, I really liked the contrasts of these papers and coloured the edge and details of the flowers in with pearlescent paint. I used brads to complete that rough denim look. And used a white sukuru pen for the detail on the photo and title. The finishing touch was the tag that says 'In my Thoughts'

As Promised...

As promised here are my latest cards including birthdays, plus a friend leaving to go back to New Zealand, I am hoping my friends get to see there cards first before seeing them on my blog!

Busy Bee Me!

A busy August time, with lots of Birthdays and cards to make! Will put pictures up on next post...The Sunflower card is made using the CPS sketch and the DCM challenge to use a photo. Great chance to use some newly acquired Bascic Grey papers! A stampin up flower stamp (background), a prima and some gorgeous flowers my hubby gave me! (photo)

"It's Oh So Quiet..."

For those regular visitors to my blog, no nothing is wrong I am fine! Sorry for not updating as regularly, I have been kept busy with commissions so not as much time to take up challenges. As well as trying to use my time wisely on revision for the dreaded driving theory! My booking is confirmed for 24th August (2 days before my birthday! So I do hope I pass!) In the mean time I shall leave you with a few of my latest commissions...
