This is one of the cards i made for the kids to give hubby for fathers day yesterday, for a change i used a sizzix die cut instead of a stamped image, as you can gather hubby is a bit of a katate fanatic and no he doesn't have any hair either !!

the papers are basic grey archaic and i coloured the diecut with my trusty promarkers, the stars are also a sizzix diecut and the star brads are from stash the letters are cut with the sizzix lollipop dies and the fake stitchlines are done with a sakura glaze pen.

sugar nellie blog hop

At last its Friday!! and the weekend starts here, and today is the day that Sugar Nellies new Diane Duda stamps are released and to celebrate there will be a blog hop, so i hope you've got your trainers on ready to hop till you drop !!! if you are joining in the hop you should have arrived here from scrappyjans blog if not then you'll need to go back to Sugar Nellie to make sure you haven't missed anything

I am thrilled to bits to have been selected to take part in this (my first) blog hop , the image, i was so kindly sent is called 'curtsy' and is totally different to any image i own and it inspired me to try something new, so i decided to make an acetate card and having tried a few colour combos i settled on a monchrome look and i think it suits her quite well, at one point she even had a blue rinse!!! but i didn't quite fancy the mrs Slocombe look lol

The acetate i've had for years and the black plain card is from the papermill, the image is coloured with my promarkers and the edges are inked with black soot distress ink, then cut with the oval and scalloped oval nesties. The scalloped oval and some of the flowers are sprayed with silver cosmic shimmer mist, the flowers are cut with the retro flower and x-cut punches the leaves are a woodware punch and the roses are from wildorchidcrafts. The brads are papermania, the spacers from ebay and the dragonfly, pin and ribbon are from my stash .

Dont forget the Diane Duda stamps are on sale over at funky kits today and if you're a sugar addict like me then get yours quick before they sell out , but dont worry its guilt free sugar shopping cos we've burnt off those calories doing all that hopping!!!lol

Who needs chocolate eh !!!
now its time for you to hop on over to Norway for another sugar fix and say hello to Kerrtu .

Thanks for hopping in

Anniversary card

Morning all, well its wet and miserable here today , bit of a change from yesterday , beautiful sunshine and it was my youngests sports day, he got two firsts and two seconds in his races, they'd all been practicing at school this week and you'd think they'd been in training for the 2012 olympics lol, but it was a lovely day, but quite sad for me as this was his last sports day before moving up to high schol in september :( where does the time go !!!
anyhow enough of my waffling i had to throw this one together in about 10 minutes flat last night,hence the simple layout, dopy me forgot i hadn't made hubby an anniversary card for today and only realised 10 mins before he was due home!!!

the image is lewis with heart from wild rose studios coloured with promarkers and cut with a nestie, the paper is papermania as is the mullberry paper sentiment,

good job hubby likes simple cards eh !!!lol

enjoy your day whatever you do

Shoe Time

what a day !! been so busy and have just realised i am still in my work clothes and i finished work at 1 today!!

this is my entry for this weeks papertake weekly challenge which is 'shoe time' and as i'm of the opinion that a girl can never have enough shoes then this was perfect for me lol .

i havent made one of these for such a long time but thought it was perfect for this challenge so i routed out the template and while i was having a delve in the depths of the cupboard or 'mums mess' as its more commonly known lol, i came across a box of papers from qvc i think they are from a set by dawn bibby but not 100% sure. the ribbon i bought from port sunlight in may and they now have a website yay!! go check them out at fantastic ribbons

the flower is cut using retro and x-cut flower punches, with gems from kars and peeloffs from my stash, the border punch is also Ek success.
sorry about the photo but the light wasn't to good.
