Cute Card Thursday

Morning and today's post is for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge. The theme is

Something New!

We are being sponsored by the lovely WendyBurnsDesigns and I have used just one of the images from the set called Love to Shop which you can find in Wendy's All Dressed Up Etsy shop .

She's been coloured with Copics and the papers and embellies are by Recollections which are from Hobbycraft which is where my Something New comes from as I've just bought them. I couldn't resist and added a little frantage too.

We'd love to see your Something New projects so please pop over and enter you could win 2 free images from the All Dressed Up shop.

Long time , no blog

Hiya bloggers, I've been awol for a while now as we moved to another part of Scotland and it's been hectic. Im looking forward to getting back into my crafting and although I lost a craft room I gained a lovely big crafting storage cupboard.

It looks nice and tidy now but it won't soon!

Something else I'd like to show you too. I'm into Project Life and have just recently finished one album which was from July 13 to December 13 and I am now starting a new album which will start from 1st Jan. I will try and take some pics to put up on this blog at some point. 

Today I received my first ever Studio Calico PL monthly kit. Wow love it!! If you do PL then it's well worth getting. This is the January kit.

Here are the cards 6x4 and 3x4. I couldn't show them all as they wouldn't fit on the mat but the 3x4 are piled onto each other.

Here is a pic of the embellishments. There are stickers, stamp set, badges, rub ons, wood veneers and lots more. 

I'll be using the kit to journal our moving adventure.

Cya tomorrow for my Cute Card Thursday DT card.x

Cute Card Thursday

Christmas Catch Up

I've used a lovely paper pad and embellies  from a My Minds Eye collection called Lost and Found Christmas. I've added a stamped image from Papermania Urban Stamps from the Home for Christmas collection. I've stamped it onto some of the paper. I finished off with a little Frantage.

The girls have made some gorgeous cards as always. You can see them all here.

All Dressed Up Inspiration Card

Hi been so busy the past couple of weeks I haven't had time to do any blogging.

But today it is my turn to design the inspiration post on the All Dressed Up challenge blog.

I have used a brand new image from Wendy Burns Designs called Fairy Magic. She will be available very soon in the All Dressed Up Etsy store.

She has been printed out onto Papermill smooth white card.

I've coloured her with Shin Hans and Copics and also added a little glitter. 

Papers are from Prima and the butterfly border and butterflies are Martha Stewart punches.

Don't forget our Christmas challenge is still ongoing , all details here.
