Craftytemplates

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend, i can't believe how quickly the weeks are flying by, before we know it the children will be back to school and the summer will be over.

Anyhoo, here's a couple the cards i made using the Craftytemplates August card kit and this months templates.

Last one

This is the last card i need for August, (phew) and it's for my Dad. August is a birthday month on my Dads side of the family, my Grandad celebrates his on the 21st, my Nan on the 23rd and their son (my Dad) on the 24th, my niece has her birthday on the 17th , so it's quite and expensive month too.
The sentiment is from The Cutting Cafe' Happy Birthday Dad...Huge Circle Printable Stamp set.


The card base and stars are all cut on the Cricut using Wild Card cart.

2009 Summer Minibook event

Over on UKScrappers there is a two week Summer minibook event going on. Each day for two weeks, Monday-Friday, there will be instructions on how to make different minibooks posted on the homepage. Today it's a fab minibook designed by the very talented Leo of Craftytemplates.

Leo sent her DT the instructions a few weeks ago, so we could make samples and heres mine.

If you pop over to the CT blog, there is a chance to win a special one off kit that Leo has put together to make you own little book.

Back to school

This is my first ever hinged card and it was so much fun to make. I found the image for free on a colouring page site , which i coloured with my Promarkers. I thought that the sentiment from The Cutting Cafe' printable stamp set called School Days would be the perfect accompaniment. Regina has released so many great sets recently, i want to make something from all of them, but there's just not enough hours in the day, or should that be night?, as the children are on school holidays so there's not much crafting going on during the day.

Don't forget if haven't already done so , you can still get the I HAVE FAITH IN YOU set absolutey free until the end of August.

Passion for Promarkers week 12

This weeks PfP challenge colours are Rose Pink and Cocoa. I love this colour combo!

The cute image i used is called Sophie and is a digital stamp from Digistamp Boutique. You can't see too well on the photo, but i added a touch of Doodlebug sugar coating to her shoes and bottom of her dress.

Here's the colours i used.

For my Grandad

My lovely Grandad will be a 83 years young next week and he has always enjoyed gardening. So with the help of the Cricut Design Studio, i made him this gardening themed card, i hope he likes it.

If you'd like the cut file for this card it can be downloaded here.

Passion for Promarkers week 11

For those that have asked the butterflies are cut on my Cricut from Indie Art cart.

An apple a day give away

Keep and eye on The Cutting Cafe as there are some fabulous news sets soon to be released.
This cute Apple shaped card is one of the latest templates from The Cutting Cafe, and can be found here. I opened the base card template in Word and added the text directly to the inside. This was a really quick and easy card to make, which is good as i'm a little busy settling in a new foster child in, who arrived with us on Friday afternoon, and is currently playing on the Wii with our Son.
The sentiment is one of the All occasion circle word set 1 printable stamps.

I have been given the go ahead from Regina to give this Apple Shaped card template away to one lucky person. So to be in with a chance to win, just leave a comment on this post by midnight GMT Sunday 9th and i will draw the winner using Random.org on Monday 10th August, good luck and thanks for popping by.
