Challenge 17 - Easel Cracker card

Morning everyone well , "now don't fall off your chairs", I have made a card for another challenge. This time the challenge was to make an easel card. I put on my thinking hat and thought Cricut design studio what can I make. Ummm as I played my mind was ticking and I thought cracker easel card would be great, right a cracker it will be, so here is the result. Sorry it's short and sweet but time was running out of time, kids need to go to school, jobs jobs and more jobs to do !!!!!

Snowman - G is for Glitter on ABC challenge

Well I know I haven't been on for a long time but I'm back with a one of my Christmas cards. I made this lovely snowman card with the super cute Tilda Snowman I got from the lovely Clare at cloudnine crafts. We did a fab evening class and made a card in this shape, I just couldn't wait to get going and make another with a different design. It's such a great shaped card. I have been very brave and entered it in the challenge over on ABC Challenge, G is for glitter. I have used my new wonderful Martha Stewart Snowflake punch down the side with glitter stands sprinkled on to sparkle them up. It looks much better in real life and it looks like crystals. I'll never get a job as a photographer, but try my best !!! lol I have used my ever growing promaker collection to colour him in, adding some glitter on his hat trim and again on the snowflake he is holding, little bit of distressing Ink around the edge.

I used a lovely padded Merry Christmas ribbon I had to add a bit of squidgyness (that's a new word) to it. Well thanks for dropping by and having a look hope you enjoyed looking as much as I did making it.

Fi's night out with friends

Ok I went out with some friends last night and have to stay I had such a fab time.

I haven't been out to a craft class for such a long time, I was so excited about going.

We had at night out at cloundnine crafts at Horncastle, Lincs

with the lovely Clare, she is such a talented lady and so nice with it.

We made two fab cards which I sooooo enjoyed making.

I loved the way she used the acetate so much,

that I have made a start making my Christmas cards today.

My friend has been today to encourage me to make

a start on my Christmas cards.

These are the two lovely cards we made.

Masculine fishing card

This card was made for a lovely gentleman who comes to my Cricut classes

and Club, he truly is a lovely guy.

Happy Birthday Brian

I hope he like his card as I enjoyed making it.

I have used Wild card and A childs year.

Yeah I have been super busy and made two cards very quickly (well they were made just needed finishing) I have been nursing a terrible cold which I bought back from my lovely weekend in Bruges. My hubby and I had a lovely break (child free) first time in 12 years, wow it was very strange ot having anyone to look after, well only the big boy. I must have drank more that weekend than in the last few years together.

Well I done enough waffling now, thanks for popping in.

Lady Golfer

I have had to wait until I could post this card as it was for a very good friend, and I didn't want her to peek and see it.

It's her birthday today so Happy Birthday Margaret.

She has opened the card now so enabled me to share her surprise.

The lady golfer is fabric and the very nice kind friendly Enfys shared her with me,

isn't she lovely (both the Enfys and the golfer).

The card is of Wild card (dolly card) cart, It's one of my fav carts.

I used my Marta Stewart heart Punch and attached a little heart which

says hand made with love.

Star card

Hi I'm back and sorry to say I have neglected my blog but promise to make an effort to post at least once a week from now on. Life has had it's ups and downs but hopefully things are getting back to normal now and I shall be more focused on what I love, my crafts. Here is my attempted at making the lovely star card I have seen, I think it's by B-C-E.

I love a challenge, so set to making one on my CDS, this is the first of many I'm sure

Well boy oh boy have they been busy with some lovely new goodies

over at Boo HQ .

They have some new lovely papers so that's what I have used on the front.

They are so lovely, fresh and pretty.

I have used a lily boo's images and coloured her with my wonderful Promarkers, another good buy.

I finished off with some lovely little flowers I made and a little bit of foliage.

Oh not forgetting my other new purchase from over at the cuddly buddy cuddlybuddly.com/shop/b47-downloable-clip-art-digi-stamps-papers-printables/

while buying my papers these digi sentiments fell into my basket,

but who could refuse they just give that finishing touch.
