Gorjuss Girl

Hi blogland,

Long time no see........ LOL

Again apologies for doing being around very much and not paying visits to your fab blogs and leaving comments on your cards but kids and school holidays don't mix very well with crafting.... Roll on next week when they are back to school and my poor lonely craft stash can start to feel loved again!! LOL

Anyway I did make time to make a birthday card for a friend.

Good morning blogland,

Firstly I must apologise for not being around for so long - it's ages since I posted anything. And secondly apologise for not visiting your blogs and leaving comments - hopefully normal service will be resumed and you'll be inundated with new comments!!

The school holidays seem to have put paid to getting much crafting done.

I thought I'd share the card which I made to say thank you to my eldest's teacher.

Recipe

• DP - Cosmo Cricket Material Girl & October Afternoon (I think!)
• Image - Yale from Mo Manning
• Other Images - Colouring Page Tuesdays - Elizabeth O.Dulemba
• Sentiment - PC generated
• Coloured with prismas and sansodor

Hopefully, I'll manage to get some time for crafting soon and be back with some new cards.

Enjoy your day, whatever you have planned. The sun is shining here so I think we're going to try and head out somewhere and enjoy it whilst we can!

Recipe

Again I've left it simple and I figured I'd put a sentiment on it as and when the need arises.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Sugar Bowl Sketch

So I'm back with my second posting of today and I've decided to use the sketch over at The Sugar Bowl - was meant to be an entry but I didn't read it properly and forgot the Theme had to be something blue...! Oh well never mind, that'll teach me to read it properly next time..... LOL

I didn't want to put too much on the card as the papers are so delish that I didn't want to take any attention away from them. I've paper pieced Bumblebee's dress in the same polka dot paper on the background, stickled her wings (which you can't really see) and then I've just punched out matching flowers.

Recipe

If you've got any Sugar Nellie images, you should head over to the challenge and enter this week, they have a fab prize up for grabs for one lucky winner - the 4 new 'Fun & Fairytales’ Mangas and a set of Aquamarkers.

New Baby......

Morning bloggers, well it's dull and overcast here today and blowing a gale force wind! Had to chase my bin down the drive once already.... wonder how many more times it will fly away! LOL

Todays card is one that I made last night for my friend Emma. We've known each other for nearly 9 years having started working together back in 2001 (I think it was). She had a beautiful baby girl last week.

How gorgeous is this image? It's Peekaboo from Karens Doodles and it's sooo cute. The papers are a freebie from The Craft Table. The letters, I've created myself using a font called Baby Building Blocks.

I feel like I want a bit of a crafty day today, so may be back a bit later if I manage to get anything made.

Enjoy your day folks.

Wedding Card - Order

Hi fellow bloggers, not been posting or visiting much over the last few days. Been busy putting this card together and doing other bits and pieces at home.

So today's card. I was asked by a guy I used to work for to make him a card for his best friend who is getting married this weekend - the only requirement he had was that he didn't want pink or girly!

And here's what I came up with.

I can't remember exactly what the paper is called but it is by Papermania and I bought it from the Range. I printed out a heart template and cut them out of Cream Bazzill card and then sat for about 20 mins stamping the swirls on one heart in silver ink. The sentiment is printed off the PC and the ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

The Inside

The Back

Because I'd made the card bigger, I didn't have an envelope big enough so had to make a box.

I've taken it to him today and he is really happy with it - I think his words were that it's amazing..! Job well done there then LOL

Enjoy the rest of your day folks.
