Apologies

Just to apologize for not having posted anything for a while.  My mum has been diagnosed with cancer and we have been going to the hospital every day for radiotherapy so blogging has definitely been put on the back burner!  She is feeling a little better this week so hopefully I will get back both to crafting and this blog soon.

White (& Silver) Wedding Card

It's my friends' Jon and Rachael's wedding on Saturday so thought I'd show the card I've made for them (and enter it into a few challenges!).  Their wedding invitations (which I also made) were silver and white, with a small amount of bling, so I thought I'd stick to the theme for my card.

The background is embossed using Spellbinders M-Bossabilities folder EL-002, the car die is by Marianne Designs and the nesting frame die is by Lifestyle Crafts (#4).  I cut the 'Just Married' tag by hand.

I would like to enter this card for the following challenges:
Cas-ual fridays - Hi Ho Silver 28/2-1
Crafty Catz - dies and punches 28/2-1
Crafting for all seasons - dies and punches 4/3-1
Top tip tuesday - tag you're it 3/3-1
Joanna sheen - layer it up 7/3-1
Cute card thursday - simplify 28/2-2
Creative creations challenges - inspired-by-song - 'White Wedding' by Billy Idol

Thanks for looking.

Aqua CAS challenge card

As mentioned in my 2 earlier posts I'm in a clean and simple (CAS) mood this week. 

I'd like to enter this card for the following challenges:
Cute card thursday - simplify 27/2-1
The Ribbon Girl - turquoise/aqua colour challenge - 23/2-1

 

I embossed a piece of white card in an embossing folder then cut it into strips and placed them on a square of aqua card.  I used some of my favourite ribbon to tie into a simple knot over the panel, which was then mounted on to a white square card blank.

 

Simples!

 

 



CAS Butterfly2

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I'm going very simple on my challenge entries this week. 

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
Allsorts challenge - things-with-wings 22/2-2
Daring cardmakers - fly fly butterfly 22/2-2
Papertake weekly - buttons or bling 24/2-1

Till next time.

CAS Butterfly

There seems to be an increasing trend for lots of cards to be 'fussy' - having multiple patterned papers, flowers, ribbons and buttons all on one card for example.  I have tried to add multiple elements to my cards but really think I must be a CAS (clean and simple) girl at heart!  Consequently this week's card challenge entries are all fairly plain.

I'm entering this card for the following challenges:
allsorts challenge - things-with-wings 22/2-1
Creative creations challenge - inspired-by-song (Inspiration Dolly Parton's 'Love is like a Butterfly') 2/3-1
Daring cardmakers - fly-fly-butterfly 22/2-1

 

Let's hope you don't all think the cards are too plain/boring! Thanks for looking.

My First Top 3 Challenge Win

Hi.  I'm very excited today as I have just discovered the card I showed on February 10th was chosen in the Top 3 in My time to craft decoupage challenge.



I haven't quite worked out how I get this badge to appear at the side of my blog yet LOL, but it will be there as soon as I have read the necessary instructions.  Still on a massive learning curve with this blog thing!

Anyway a massive thank you to Judith and all at MTTC for picking my card.
