Pollycraft Monday Challenge .............

Hi everyone, as it's Monday it's time for another challenge at Pollycraft Monday Challenge and I have set the theme this week to make a card and a matching tag.  I love making tags to match my cards so I hope you have a go at this challenge this week. I would love to see what you create!

My card and tag were for Grace to take a Knight and Princess party so I thought this wonderful image from Pollycraft called Cuthbert Brave Knight would be just perfect for this occasion!

I've had a great day at work today helping out with a photoshoot of young people for the website I work on.  It's good to know occasionally you can have a good day working for the council!

Thanks for stopping by.

A 50th Birthday Card .......

Hi everyone, just a quick post this morning from a very wet Norfolk.  It's my Auntie's 50th Birthday today and we are off to family party this afternoon so I thought I would share the card I made for her.  The decoupage and papers are from the new Henbury Lane sets.  I took a little trip to the Range yesterday and I just could not resist this.  I was a bit naughty and brought the Wellington Bear Ultimate decoupage pack as well as I just could not make up my mind as they were both lovely!

Thanks for stopping by.

Winter Wonderland Challenge ..............

Hi everyone, it's that time for another challenge over at Winter Wonderland and our theme for you this week is 'Here come the girls'  so a girl has to be the main image on your card.  I have used another LOTV diecut image on my card.  I seem to be using these all the time at the moment as there are just never enough hours in the day and these help me make quick cards!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly - Sketch
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes.

Have a great weekend everyone.
Thanks for stopping by.

This little card is a new feature on the CD and is a decoupage card. You get the card base and the decoupage all printed on one sheet for a super quick little card.  The only extra thing I've added is the ribbon and flower. 

Have a happy Sunday.

An A-may-zing Time and a Humphrey Sneak Peak!

Hi everyone, I have a few things to share today.  I made some last minute samples for Sara from Crafter's Companion and took them to the Create and Craft studio on Thursday so Sara invited me to see Nigel May's launch shows of the A-May-Zing CD.   I got to meet Nigel as well and he is such a lovely person just as nice as comes across on the telly. 

I look half asleep on this photo as it was gone midnight and I was exhausted! 

This was me, Sara and a new crafty friend Carmi who demonstrates Crafter's Companion products over in Canada just relaxing in the green room at Ideal World.  Carmi was great company whilst we watched the launch shows.  We had so many crafty things in common we talked so much and had a lovely time.

This is  a pic of the A-May-Zing Cd,  Carmi took this photo which I thought was a great idea so I thought I would share it.

This photo is of the camera's all in place:

And finally I must share my Humphrey sneak peak for today.  This is a little tag printed from the CD with a little bit of glitter, gems and ribbons.  I know I will using lots of the fanastic tags from the CD for all the Birthday presents Grace's takes to parties.

Thanks for stopping by.
