Happy Mother's Day

Good morning folks....this is early I know but I have lots to do today so a couple of posts first. I sat up til stupid o'clock last night(as Faye would say) finishing this card....I hope my mum will like it...she doesn't do character ones. This is my first card using my new sewing machine...it might me a bit to get used to it as some of the knobs and levers are not in the same place as my old one and it seems to not go right into the corners...so if anybody can give me any tips on how to make it stitch right into the corner rather than it pulling round the corner that would be great. I think I will have a bash at zig zag next....oh I am easy pleased!!
The papers are from MME - So Sophie Charming collection which really are beautiful...may use them a lot over the next couple of week as they are my favourite colours too...brown, green and blue...I just love that colour combo!!
The image is a digi but to be honest I cannot remember where I got it..coloured it with copics and added some glitter. The message is from Hero Arts. I have entered the following challenges.

Allsorts - special lady
CYDA - mum
Creative Inspirations - mum
The Crafty Pad - mum
Cupcake Craft Challenge - flowers for mum

Birthday girl....

Another one I have had ready to go...I made this card at my class on Wednesday...not sure if her dress matches the card tough!! The papers are from MME - Stella Rose collection. The stamp is of course Stardust from Sugar Nellie which I coloured with promarkers. The flowers have been cut with my MFT flowe die-namic die. I added pearls to the centres of the flowers with a pearl pen and the finished with some twine and a message.

The sugar Bowl - sketch and optional pink(forgot about that)
CES - die cuts

Paper Sundaes DT card

Hello my Sundae bloggers and my scheduled post!! Did you remember to switch the clocks back one hour??

This week the challenge over at Paper Sundaes is inspiration from the photo below.

Isn't it pretty...fab colours!!

Our sponsor this week is Michelle's Scrapbooking & More who are offering one lucky winner a £10 gift certificate.

For my card I used papers that were in my stash...think they are Papermania. The ribbon was from the same set. I punched the flowers with my die-namics flower die and added a pearl pen to the centres. The image is a new one I won in Bev's candy....it's so pretty...thanks Bev!! I couloured this little lady with copics( which you can buy at Michelle's) and added some glamour dust. I have entered the following challenges.

Paper Cutz - 3 papers

Friday Sketchers - sketch

LOTV - punch it

A Spoon Full of Sugar - ribbon,pearls/rhinestones, flowers

Lexi's Creations - ribbons but no bows/knots

Whatever the weather....

Good morning my fellow bloggers and my scheduled post. I am working today but I had to post this on Thursday using Michael's laptop cos my pc is broke....sshhh don't tell him!! I have deleted all evidence now so he won't know. I am hoping that my pc will be back in working order soon!! This week challenge over at Sweet Stampin is "weather related".

We have 2 sponsors this week....first off is Whimsie Doodles.

and Digi's with Attitude.

who are both offering a $10 gift certificate for their online store.

I have used a stamp from Little Claire's...thought this was just perfect....thanks Hazel for letting me borrow it! Pop over and see what the rest of the team have been up to.

Just a quickie tonight...

Well my pc is still broken....boo hoo but Michael is away camping so I am getting to use his laptop for the full night...woo hoo!!

I thought I would let you know...I won an award at work last week and got to choose vouchers for almost anywhere. So I have a couple of awards previously and got a digital camera and gave that to Michael and then I git an ipod and gave to Holly so this time I thought I would keep it for myself so guess what I bought.....I have tested it and it's sooooooo fab!! Yes...I bought a new sewing machine not a little dinky one but a big one. My current sewing machine has finally died, it was very temperamental, sometimes worked and sometimes didn't and just when you get to the end of the stitching it would chew up everything...anyway it lasted well as I got that one in 1982. My next card will have pretty stitching on it although my 2 DT cards for this weekend are already scheduled so you won't see it them but the very next one so watch this space.
