GOOD AFTERNOON

Hi everyone,

Hope you have all had a lovely Christmas, now it's time to bring in the New Year. Can't believe how quick this year has gone.

I have three lots of post today.

Firstly my card.

Today I have made an easel card ready for my sister's birthday. Hope she doesn't come on here and see it....lol

The image is LOTV and the papers are from a Marianne Design pack. I have decorated it with a string of pearls, butterflies and gems.

MMCS CHALLENGE DT CARD

Good morning everyone,

Hope you are all ready for Christmas.

I've just got a few more items to get then I can sit back and relax.

It's Challenge time over at:
 My Mums Craft Shop

The Challenge this week will be going on for two weeks over the Christmas period.

The theme is:

ANYTHING GOES


We are sponsored by:

And the winner will receive a £10 voucher to spend in store.

So you can create what ever you want.

 The image I have used is Ladybug Crafts Ink cling stamp. Rather than papers I fancied embossing and using lots of glitter. The die is one of Marianne Designs. I have finished off with organza ribbon, a Christmas tree charm and a snowflake brad. I have sent this card to a certain person and I'm hoping she receives it before seeing it on my blog....lol. After the photo was taken I computer generated the sentiment on the inside of the card with that certain persons name on it....lol. She has probably seen this by now :-)

MY FIRST CHALLENGE CARD AS GUEST DESIGNER FOR LCI.

Good morning everyone,

I'm so happy today as it's my first week as Guest Designer for:
Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge Blog


 I am going to be with them until January and really looking forward to the Challenges. Can't wait to check out all the lovely entries.

The theme for this week is:
SNOWFLAKES AND SPARKLE
Which has been chosen by the lovely Lisa.


There is a prize for the randomly picked winner and a Top 3 badge for the 3 cards we like the best.


So lets see lots of snowflakes and sparkle.
 Why not go on over and check all the DT's work for inspiration.


The image I have used is one of the LCI cling stamps which is stamp of the month at
 HALF PRICE....What a bargain! 


This is my take on the theme.

I have cut around the image and placed foam pads on the back to give it a 3D effect. Not sure what make the backing paper is as I got this from my Christmas stash. The white card has been embossed using a snowflake and dots embossing folders. For the large snowflakes I have used a Martha Stewart punch and glittered them using a glue pen and Glamour Dust glitter.
