Fancy Folds..

Morning again, I am back with my second dt card for today, my 1st one for crafty creations is below. 

Its time for a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter. This challenge is for fancy fold cards, so lots of scope for play there. The prize is for a $20 gift certificate to use in the paper shelter shop. If you use a non paper shelter image you can still win a prize, you would get 3 digis of your choice from the shop. So either way its a great prize

I chose to make a twisted easel card, I had big plans for this challenge but as I had a major battle on my hands with my printer,(which I finally won!!) all I had time for was to make one of these. Remember to pop over to the challenge blog and see the dts work, lots of gorgeous fancy folds.

I will be back tomorrow with a little blog candy to celebrate my birthday.

hope you can join us xx

Vintage fashion...

Good morning everyone, thank you all for your lovely comments yesterday,they mean a lot xx

Its time for a new challenge over at Crafty Creations. Our challenge is Vintage fashion, our sponsor is the fabulous Digi doodle Shop, who are offering a prize of $10 to spend in the shop. They also gave the dt some fab images to play with. I chose 1800 vintage dress, which I coloured with copics and flexmarkers

I used Melissa Frances 5th Avenue dps as these worked so well with the image and theme.

The stickles makes the flowers on her hat look black in the picture, its not like that in real life lol

Hope you can join us. 

A rainbow fairy...

Good morning lovely blog friends,I hope you are all well. I don't really have much news to share today, I am feeling a bit down at the moment, I was hoping a crafty play last night would have cheered me up, but nope, still feeling low. 

I think, well no actually I know the reason, I find the times around birthdays and Christmas very difficult, I miss Charlie all the time but I feel like we are not a complete family at times when family is important, like birthdays etc. So sorry for being down like this from time to time but it does help putting my feelings into words and sharing them.

 I do hope you don't mind..

Anyhoo, why dont I share a card that I made, I came across this image the other week when doing my commenting, and before you could say Teen Fairy Mia, I hopped over to Mo's digital pencil shop and bought her!!!! She is very lovely and I decided to give her a rainbow dress. I was quite happy with how it turned out, but then I decided to spritz it with shimmer mist, doh!! its gone a bit blotchy and I ripped the doily as it was damp, but lets just say thats what I wanted to happen! lol

I wont tell if you dont

An Award..

Hi again, I have been very lucky to be nominated not once but twice for the Liebster blog award! I wanted to say a big thank you to the two lovely ladies who have nominated me,  Alyce of Kit and Clowder and Wendy from Flowergirl cards. Thank you so much both of you.

the idea of the Liebster Blog Award is to spread the love from one small blog (under 200 followers) to other small blogs. This helps to spread knowledge and readership.

To accept the award, you must:

1) Link back to the person who gave it and thank them for thinking of you.

2) Post the award to your blog.

3) Give the award to 5 bloggers (with less than 200 followers) that you appreciate and value.

4) Leave a comment on the blogs of the five people you have chosen to let them know.

"Liebster" in German means "dearest", so to carry on the Liebster tradition, I am going to pass the award on to 5 people who's blogs have been an inspiration to me and my crafting.

I have 'met' so many wonderful bloggers since I started this blog,  so picking 5 has been quite difficult,  but here are the 5 I have chosen, in no particular order

Marjorie from foxy cards

Sandra  from Homemade thoughts and cards from abroad

Kelly from Kellys cards

Tracey from Cranberry cards

Round and round....

Afternoon everyone, this is going to be a very quick post from me as I am having a batle with my printer at the moment and as I need two digi stamps printed out for two dt cards this week I am having a meltdown at the moment!!!!

So anyway, its time for a new challenge over at Paper sundaes, and we want to see your creations with circles, so this can be a circle card or cirlcles on your card. We are being sponsored by the lovely Stamp and Create.

I made a little wedding/love/anniversary or engagement wall hanging
