Male card!

Hullo, Hullo,

Oooh such a long time since I last posted such a bad blogger I am, I do apologise, life in general has been busy and then we have had the dreaded lurgies that have been floating around.

I am still trying to shake it off but still have the dreaded cough that keeps me awake at night (and everyone else supposedly! oops)
I thought you may like to see the card that I had made for my Dads special birthday, male cards are always hard but this one just came together and I love it I have used lots of punches and dies for this one, I even embossed, I always forget about my CB folders it's such a sin as I love the effect they achieve this one is called Diamond plate and is fab for the guys.

The cork tiles are little pads off a new piece of glass we recently bought so I trimmed them to size to make scrabble effect tiles!!

I will be entering my card into the following challenges

Papertake Weekly - autumn colours

Tuesday throwdown - buttons and bows

Paper playtime - about love or something you love (i luv my ms punches and mft dies not forgetting my Dad of course!!)

Little papershop - Die cuts

Anything goes - emboss it

Well that's it folks for today but I will be back as although I have been MIA two lovely ladies had been thinking of me and given me awards which cheered me up I can tell you so I will post them next time.

Toodle pop!

missed you all x

Cutesy Card!

Hullo, Hullo,
I think we are in for a dreary day today, so thought I would brighten it up for you with my very colourful and fresh card, I am loving these colours together it reminds me of a jumper my mum knitted me as a kid! In fact my mum would knit my kids anything they were into at the time when they were little they had Power Ranger jumpers, Wallace and Gromit, Dennis the Menace to name but a few - very talented unfortunately it did not rub off on me, I am very cack handed when it comes to knitting needles!
Any way my card was made using the sketch over at Anyone For Anya , as I was looking for which stamp to use I noticed these lovely heart flowers with the Rock the Farm set so as there are quite a few challenges at the mo to use hearts I thought I would use them.
I will also be entering my card into these challenges
Fussy and Fancy Challenge - hearts
Cute Card Thursday - blooming gorguss
Little Red Wagon Challenge - hearts
Creative Belli - hearts
This is probably the first time I have taken a photo and managed to capture the sparkle from rhinestones! yay!
Hope you like my card and that it brightens your day!

Cutie Patootie!

Hullo, Hullo,
Hope you have all had a nice weekend, mine seems to have shot by I went to my Keep Fit Class, goodness me I am officially unfit, 20 mins in and I was ready for a lie down!
I really wasn't impressed by the wall facing us that was covered floor to ceiling in mirrors, I wouldn't of minded but the mirror in front of me was dodgy I am convinced it was one of those ones you get at the funfair which makes you 3 ft tall and 5ft wide - everyone else looked fine!!
I suppose the only way Ican look at it is "No pain , no gain!" and believe me I'm hurting today so I must of done something right.
I won't be looking forward to my 1st night at Fat Fighters though as we went out for a meal & drinks with friends Saturday and then today I have done nothing but munch say's me with a Bourbon or two in her hand, all that effort in the week just to blow it all and eat a weeks worth in two days! Doh!
Anyway, I did manage to squeeze in a card in between scoffing and found a great new challenge blog called Just Cute Bears and it's one for the girls this week, all you need to do is include a bear on your creation, I have used the fab sketch from this weeks Truly Scrumptious challenge.
I have lots of bear stamps once I started looking so will hopefully find time to participate in the challenges.
Must fly as need to sort out more washing why is it never ending, I have been washing all weekend!!!
toodle pop!
