Thursday rolls around today and our snow was here for one day, yesterday, but today it's all gone!! I'm glad as I'm having to walk quite far at the moment due to Rob being flat on his back with a slipped disc. I don't drive :0)
Anyway this week's challenge for Cute Card Thursday is

An Eye For Detail
 

I've used a  Dilly Beans digi image and coloured her with Copics.

Papers: First Edition - Desert Blooms
Flourish: Cheery Lynn Designs - Fanciful Flourish
Sentiment: Dylusions
Punch: Martha Stewart butterflies

This week we are offering a prize of  a Whiff of Joy stamp  to one lucky winner. The DT have done a fab job again this week and have all taken the challenge theme in a different way. Please come over and join in with us here.

Valentine's box for Cute Card Thursday


Doh I was supposed to show this for my DT project for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge but got over excited and posted it early.
The theme at Cute Card Thursday is
 
 Love Struck

The prize this week is a £10 gift voucher from Bunny Zoe's Crafts.

Today I have a little Valentine's box to show you. I think I will give one to each of my younger kids with a little message inside.


 
 
You could add chocolates, messages, jewellery etc.
 
I've used Papermill cardstock, this really does cut beautifully on the Cameo and I've never had any trouble with it. The box file is in the Silhouette store by Lori Whitlock. The sentiment is cut from Vinyl and is also in the store and the designer is Kolette Hall. I put  the waste hearts from the box inside with a little tissue paper. I've also inked around the edges with distress ink.

Creative Expressions Project

Here's this week's project for Creative Expressions.


I made a mini canvas. I first sprayed some inks over the canvas and then sprayed with water. I let the first layer dry and then reinked. The sentiment says "It just takes a small act of kindness to make a difference in someone's life". I embossed it with gold powder. Its been stamped on acetate. The sentiment is from the unmounted Special Sentiments plate. I also used the gold embossing to stamp some hearts along the bottom right hand side. They are from the unmounted Heart Entwined plate. The two big hearts are also from the same plate and are embossed with white embossing powder.

I'll show you another project next week.
