Hi all
Hope you are all well :-) This is the card for this weeks Sophisti-Cats challenge which is entitled 'Raining Cats and Dogs'. This doesnt mean you ahve to get an image of cats and dogs int he rain,lol, it just means that you can use an image of a cat or a dog . There is no Sophisti-Cats challenge next week as its Easter Monday, so you may as well enter this weeks, lol.
I went to the NEC for the Hobbycraft show on Friday and spent soooo much money. I was actually only there for less than three hours. I hurt my arms as well, carrying the amount of stuff that I had bought back to the car ! But it was worth it, I got so much lovely stuff. Definitely going to go again in November :-)
My weekend away with the girls was so much fun, we had such a laugh.My friend totally adored the George Clooney card. Apparantly she is going to give it pride of place next to her bed (say no more!)

Sorry, in waffle mdoe today, lol. Back to the card

Ingredients
Magnolia dog image, I think the papers are Doddlebug or SEi, not sure, Doily is from Hobbyhouse Crafts, flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Long time awol again I know, but hopefully not so few posts this week. Mmmm, think I say that every week, lol.

This weeks challenge over at Sophisti-Cats has been set by the lovely Tracy and is mint green.lilac.+ 1 other colour and flowers.

The prize is 2 downloads of your choice from Allissa's Paper Town. Lisa, who owns Allissa's Paper Town is trying to sell as many of her downloads as possible so that she can have the operation that she desperately needs on her hip.

Can we ask that you take this badge above & place on your sidebars Please with a link?? it would mean so much to spread the word and gain some support across the Blogs to get Lisa's message out there. She's not begging, or borrowing or evening stealing to help her cause, she is simply creating digital items for sale to aid this fund raising. Your support could change her life. Thank you in advance for any help.

Ingredients

Basic Grey papers, Greeting farm image, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Just Rite stamp sentiment

See you all soon

Off to my friends daughters 2nd birthday in Epsom today an off to Brighton tomorrow. No rest for the wicked as they say. But on the plus side, me and hubby booked a holiday last night so only a few weeks and we will be relaxing by a pool.

Die Cut Dreams Guest DT Card

Evening all :-)

Sorry for being so quiet last week, but as usual, work has taken over. I just think it would be nice to get home before 9pm ! Do they not realise at work that I have cards to make ?!?!?!?!?!

Hope you all had a nice weekend and either got spoilt by the family or spoiled your mums. I spent the weekend spoiling my mother in law as I had seen my mum in the week for her birthday.

Hopefully I'll get time to make a card tomorrow night, work depending :-)

Anyway, back to this card.... I won the Die Cut Dreams Challenge last week and the prize was to be a guest designer for two weeks :-) This weeks challenge is to use at least two punches on your card. I think I managed about 4 as I wasnt sure if people would notice them, so thought I'd better use 4 to be on the safe side, he he. For the challenge we had to use a Digi Stamp from Di's Digidownloads as she is sponsoring this weeks challenge. So if any of you fancy winning a couple of digi stamps, you had better enter this challenge :)

Gonna pop my other card on now whilst I am on a roll, lol

Magnolia Notelet Set

Hi again :-)

I started making this notelet set for my mum ages ago, but it was taking so long I got bored of it, lol. But as we are going down to visit her today, I thought I would finish it so that she can have it as an extra birthday pressie.

The  notepaper was made from scanning a completed images of Tilda on the tulips and shrinking her down in Powerpoint. Then in Powerpoint I put an oval shape for the widdle over a yellow background and pasted loads of the Tilda images. I'm probably not explaining that very well. If anyone wants to know how to do it, just get in touch with me and I'll try to explain it a bit better. lol.

The papers are from Pink Petticoat, the butterflies are done using a Spellbinders die, Martha Stewart Border Punch and bits from stash.

Challenges

Cutie Stampers #45 Butterflies, flowers & Blue

Lili of The Valley Baby Girl

Hi all

First of all, this weekend has gone totally to pot :-( My parents, nan and the dog were supposed to be coming up from Kent for the weekend as its mums birthday. I had got loads of food in to make her a Chinese banquet and made her favourite lemon cheesecake and Eve's pudding. But they got stuck in the traffic jam from hell and the car overheated, so after 4 hours of going nowhere, they turned round and went home again :-( I totally understand why they went home, I'm just sad that I didnt get to see them. But, me and hubby have decided to drive down there on Tuesday after work (mums actual birthday), armed with cheesecake, cChinese dumplings and pressies and surprise her.

On the plus side I managed to make some cards :-) ........

Sophisti-Cats DT Card

Hi all

Long time no post. Life has been manic and I have had no time to even look at my blog, let alone add anything :-( (poor me, my life is so hard, lol)

Anyway, this card was made for the Sophisti-Cats 'Oriental' challenge which was set by me. I thought it would be a nice different challenge and I was looking forward to it as I have tons of Oriental stuff. But me being me, I forgot that I had something do almost every night of the week and all weekend, so this card was rushed. But even thought it was rushed, I was still semi pleased with it.

I have no idea where I got all the stuff from, it was all just bits and bobs from my stash.

Thought I would enter this for the Corrosive Challenge as well as their challenge is Asian as well.

I have a couple more cards to post tonight, so I'd better get on and do those :-)
