Some to Share and a Challenge or two ...

Hi all..I hope this finds you well and not too cold...I've been a bit under the weather again this week...I cant seem to shake off this cold thing...anyway I have been crafting and have some to share...first up is ...surprize surprize...!!..lol is a cute LOTV image..now I've gone a bit moody with this one....

I wanted to give it a sophisticated look and kept it monochrome...but its covered with glamour dust its a shame it doesn't show up in the pic...the DP is Kaiser a pad that I picked up at the NEC..lovely papers...I coloured her with copics...used a LOTV sentiment and as the DP is quite busy I kept it simple with just a organza ribbon a sweet litte heart charm and some card candy...I'm going to enter this for this week LOTV Challenge Glamour and Glitz..I think it fits...lol

Ok next I have a Tilda creation for Wild Orchid Challenge - Blue Christmas

I used a new Christmas Tilda..she is coloured with copics..the DP is TIM HOLTZ Shabby pad...these are just so gorg...MB was with me when I bought it and as I went into raptures as I flipped through the pages he gave me a look..I said to him..these are not for cutting they are for stroking...its a girl thing...I think he might have me committed soon...lol...anyway...yes I did cut it!!..lol..I added the new gorgeous WO flowers and used loads of sparkle over them...finished with a sweet star charm ...a organza bow...gems and a Craftworks sentiment...

Now since I got my printer..a whole new world has opened up for me...lol I had a little hop around blogland and found Pink Petticote...and bought some of the lovely downloadable papers..and these cute little digi Christmas Penguins..

as you can see I made little SAC 3x3 cards using their papers..I coloured them with copics and added sparkle and gems here and there..you get twelve in the set... I just love them and very pleased how they turned out..while making these I had an idea to make some cupcake ones too...

these are made with a Hero Art stamp set I have..papers are Pink Petticote again...I think they are ideal for when you need a birthday card quick..inside I have put 'Have a Yummy Birthday'..
Well I think that's enough for now!!!..I'll be back tomorrow with my DT card for Stampin' for the Weekend...
Take care and keep warm...

I've been to the NEC......

...yes we drove all the way from Kent today...I had an agenda..first stand to visit was LOTV...bought loads...all the new ones...they are soooo cute...and then set off to find Magnolia....we walked up and down...I didnt really want to pay £3 for a brochure just to tell me the stand numbers..but as I couldnt find Magnolia..I gave in and bought one...I scanned the pages...well they were listed under Stamps..but no Stand number...ummmm....so I asked a nice lady on the CraftsUlove stand...it would appear that Magnolia wasnt there ....how disappointing was that...so I went back to LOTV and bought some more to get over my disappointment...LOL...met up with my DT mate Sandie who came over from Ireland...we had a nice shop together...then I came home Tildaless...its offical..I am now a LOTV groupie..lol..
If you are going..have a great time..although I was told it was much smaller than previous years...still lots to see...but I dont think I'll do it again...
catch with you all soon..I'm off to get my itchy fingers inky!!!!..lol

Some to Share...

Hi...I managed to find some time to make some cards...one for a challenge and one to share...but before them I have to post my DT card for this weeks Pocket Full of Posies Challenge - Winter Bouquet...as you ..we over at PFOP are floral obsessed so we want to see your floral creations... so I hope you will join us this week...I chose to do punched flowers for a change...a stamped image in sight...lol... here's my card....

I wasn't sure what colour to use but this DP decided for me as it has snowflakes on and being pink...well who can resist pink!!..I punch different flowers and also used some Marianne dies and some Craftworks flowers..I distressed a little too... and added a sliver organza ribbon and loads of bling...I hope it give the impression of a frosty morning.
Now I'm a little late with the next creation as Halloween has been and gone..but at the last minutes I decided to make these little bags for the guys at work..

I made 14 in all..I filled them with what I call 'Old Fashioned' sweets..like Black Jacks and Fruit Salad and Rhubarb and Custard....lol..anyway they went down a treat..!!!
My next card is for This week's LOTV Challenge..well you know I just love these stamps ..and I cant wait to get my inky mitts on the new releases on Thurs at the NEC...I'll be first in the que!!...lol..anyway..this week its a fab sketch by Bev...but I lost my way a bit..But I think its ok..

I used BG Olivia DP's and EK Success Border punch...the darling image is coloured with Promakers...added WO flowers and some cute little buttons...but as I said I lost my way a bit..I blame this rotten awful cold I got..that everybody seems to have...It better be gone by Thursday...lol...
and before I go I have my brand new Tilda to show you...

Isn't she just gorgeous....That's another stand at The NEC I'll be spending some quality time at...as well as some dosh no doubt...lol
