Mother's Day

We have three busy days  here next week, starting this Sunday, which in the UK is Mother's Day, followed by our Son's 15th birthday on Monday and then it's my birthday on Tuesday. So we will have a full house on Sunday, with my parents and granparents coming for a roast lunch, then being joined later by my sister and her family for a party tea.
Here's the card i've just made for Mum, using only cardstock, a couple of MS punches, and a couple of cuts from the Cricut Home Accents cart.

Celebrate the everyday with a cupcake!

Here's the little Squiggle Stamps project i was going to share with you last week, before Miss Evie stole the show.

But i do still love Daisy , especially when she comes with a Cupcake! You can purchase this adorable image here as a digi stamp, or here if you prefer rubber.

Here she is looking rather snazzy in her cupcake chef outfit, on the cute cupcake box i cut on my Cricut.

Don't forget if you would like to be in with the chance to join the Squiggle Stamps design team, you still have few days left to enter this months challenge!

Friday Freebie

Happy Friday everyone!
It's my second week as guest creative team member for Sj's Little Musings, and i just loved colouring this weeks image with my Promarkers. These two guys certainly look a handful don't they?  You can read all about them and download the freebie for yourself here.

Don't forget the weekend workshop Digi Friday over on Passion for Promarkers, just leave a comment on this weeks workshop post for the chance to win this weeks prize from Pollycraft.

Chandelier card

Hope you are having a lovely weekend and recharging for the week ahead.
I made this card last night, it's for my friends daughter, who will be 14 years old on Wednesday, i hope she likes it, i'm so out of touch of what girls like at that age. The chandelier was cut on my Cricut from Home Decor cart, and the circular card base is from Wild Card cart.

Anything but a card with a Christmas or New Year theme............

that's all you have to make to enter the PfP mega Christmas challenge, (and use your Promarkers of course). I just can't stop making little treat boxes/bags, this will have to be my last one, as i still haven't wrapped any more gifts, (maybe i'll just buy some large gift bags to put them in instead).

For this little bag, I have used another WoJ stamp, Willow with gingerbread heart, from this years Winter collection. The bag and poinsettia were both cut on my Cricut.

Mega Christmas Challenge

Over on the Passion for Promarkers blog this month there is a mega Christmas challenge with fantastic prizes up for grabs. All you have to do is make anything but a card with a Christmas/ New Year theme, using your Promarkers (obviously). You can enter as many times as you want up until 9am on the 5th January 2010, so here's my first entry. This little box was cut on my Cricut and filled with Cadbury's snow balls. The snow flake was also cut on my Cricut from acetate, then coated with Twinklets. The image is Oscar on sledge from Squiggle Stamps, which should be in stock soon.

Busy, busy, busy.

I have been busy beavering away in my craftroom and i've managed to make 11 cards this week, but i'm unable to share most of them just yet, but i can show you these two very quick and simple ones i've made today.

 

Red Hat Society

My Mum asked me to make her a card to give to her friend who is a member of the Red Hat Society, so this is what i came up with. The hat is cut on the Cricut from PDDU cart. My Mum liked it, I hope her friend liked it too.

Mini note card set

I made this set of mini note cards (they are just under 4" x 4"), and a file to keep them in with this months Sarahscards cardmaking kit. The butterflies are cut on my Cricut from Home Accents cart. To answer Sam and Julie, yes this butterfly is Utee'd, atleast three coats if i remember rightly.

First of three

With three birthday cards to make for family members birthdays next month, i thought i'd better make a start. So i started with the hardest one for me to make. This is for my Niece who will be 12 on the 17th. She's never been a girlie girl, but is starting to get a little bit more girlie as she's getting older, but she's still definitely not a pink and fluffy sort of girl, so i hope this will be acceptable to her.

I cut the skull and crossbones, (which spins from side to side), on my Cricut from Paper Dolls Dress up cart, and the name was cut from Storybook.
