Cupcake challenge - Blooms and Butterflies

Well what a week! It started off with clearing Nitty Nora ,my nine year old daughter. Although going on the amount of eggs I found that will be for a week or so yet!!!!
My son went to the hospital yesterday about his teeth. He has very unique teeth. He has fused teeth and extra teeth. A gene that throwbacks to my Dad who was born with extra fingers on each hand. His grandfather had extra toes. Well not only does Harry have this he also had faulty enamel growth. This apparently was because I had a virus whilst pregnant or he had a virus very young. Two teeth have decayed badly so he needs to have major works done on them over 3 months. Still at least he will be good once it is done.
My project for the Cupcake challenge is another gift bag for the teacher ( containing yes you guessed my cards. I used Basic grey papers I think they are the cupcake range. I used a cereal box and added some pearlecent papers, prima flowers, spacer beads, stickles and a stamped butterfly by The crafty pad. I attatched my ribbon with eyelets and my crop-a- dile.

Cupcake challenge - sketch

I used the cupcake challenge sketch for this Easter card. I don't have that many to make and I have nearly finished them. I used my Anya from Rock the farm set of greeting farm stamps. The background farm is by high hopes stamps. I added some letters from cosmic cricket and I used BG papers. I paper pieced the paper onto the farmhouse. I also used a cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss the circle.

Cupcake challenge - Spring

Hello I love a lot about the spring, The smell, the longer days, the birds tweeting ( not at 4.00am though), the new signs of life, all the pretty flowers, lambs springing around a field, rabbits bouncing around the fields, Lots of chocolate at easter, oh it is a wonderful thing. I love,love, love blossom so this card, for the cupcake challenge , is inspired by the pink blossom and the whiff of joy spring kit.

Yey back on a roll!!!! Cupcake challenge

Here is my entry for the cupcake challenge please click the link in my sidebar. The challenge was to use the photo as an inspiration. I have used the colours and the spring feel as my inspiration. I hope you like my interpretation. Thanks for taking the time to look.

3 cards!!!! Growl computer playing up.

This card is for the Colour Create challenge. The combination is pink and grey and the extra challenge is to add something cute and cuddly. I added the house mouse stamp as the cute and cuddly. I will give it to a little girl born 3 days after my son! I loved this challenge. I am having PC probs so I will try to get to you to comment please forgive me if I don't.


I did this card for the Cupcake challenge challenge which is a sketch and I hope you like it as this really was a play and developed as I was doing it. Boys cards are hard and I just went with the flow.


This card is for the challenge. This one was a sketch too. I used Tilda and some bright spring papers. I handmade the embellishment.

Two cards and three challenges!

Challenge one is Cupcake cards . The challenge here was to create a scene. I have used Faith is beautiful from The crafty pad (see blinkie at side, click on it to get there.) I created a bedroom using some cuttlebugged card as the wall paper some papers as the floor and some squares of patterned card to make some canvases on the wall.



Challenge Two is and three is The challenge at Papertake weekly is a fab sketch by Dawny P. I then used it for the challenge at Spoonful of sugar which is doodling. I added lots of faux stitching and paper piercing as a finishing touch yesterday so it fitted perfectly with the challenge. If you are not adverse to a bargin check out your local Tesco. I got a set of 24 watercolour pencils for 56p and 20 page A4 sketch books for £1.00.

Cupcake challenge -25 colour challenge

My first time at the Cupcake challenge . It is a colour challenge. I love playing with colour so an easy one for me. I hope I met the colour criteria. Clean and simple is the new black so I have tried to keep this just that. I stamped directly onto the card ( how brave was that) and added colour with a mixture of sakura pen, promarkers and twinkling H20 and added some faux stitching. I used a Leanne Ellis sugar nellie stamp. There is a guest DT spot on offer this week.
