Willow Challenge!

How quick did that week go by??  I have had a fab day today, chilling and managed to fit some crafting in too.  It has been a lovely relaxing day.
This card is for the Willow Challenge,  with this sketch I turned it around, just to be different lol.  I also wanted to used some bright colours, so used papers from echo park called summer days.  The foil and embossed stickers I brought from a local craft shop, they have no manufacturers name on it, just says Handmade Sticker.  Buttons are some I got free from a magazine a while ago.  Hope you like!

I am back!! Willow Challenge

Trying to make more time for crafting.  My hours will be changing at work so should get a little more time.  I am entering the Willow Challenge which is back.  I enjoyed making this card, although a little rushed as not had alot of time rectently, but I am fairly pleased with it.  I have left the sentiment off so I can used this card for any occassion that comes along.  Will be trying to catch up with everyones blogs over the next few days.

Taking a break from blogging.

I have not posted for the longest time, so it will be of no surpise to anyone who visits that I am taking a break.  I have started working and I don't have as much time to myself, so some things I am stopping for a while.

Thanks to everyone who has commented on my posts and for supporting my blog in the past.

Flowery Cards

Been busy making some cards this afternoon.  Before I went away on holiday I had made some flowers.  While carassing.....I mean while checking my papers I found the flowers and decided to make a few cards using them.  Papers were free from a magazine, sorry can't remember which one. :0)  Let me know what you think!  ( sorry about the photos, using phone camera).

Back from my hols and playing with numbers!

I had a wonderful time out in Germany and can't wait to go back out again soon!

I decided to do a challenge today after having a nosey on the lovely Heidi's blog!
The challenge is Totally Paper Crafts, and the theme is "Stick a number of it"!
I wanted to make a thank you card for my Brother and his family for having us over and looking after us, so came up with the idea below!  Hope you like!

Feeling Blue!

The blue as in colours to work with!  :0)  I made this card using acetate and embossing onto it.  Idea from a book called Flower Power Papercrafts, by Julie Hickey.  Cutting the acetate was fun, with a bit of experimenting found my X Cut Shape Cutter worked really well.  Really liked the idea of fixing the acetate with ribbons, so no glue to worry about.  Hope you like.
