Fairwee Emaline

Please go here if you are looking for the Crafty Sentiments Summer of Fun Blog Hop

I am so pleased I got me the netbook last time.. it now sits on my desk, beside me in  my craft-room and I can have a peep at all the lovely inspirational blogs around while I craft away.. . aaahhh pure bliss ...  I am so happy, just perfect :)

This is a card I made while having a look at Amy's lovely cards, which one of them was also sitting in front of me along with other beautiful cards I received from many lovely blogger friends. 

Lucky me I had won one of Amy's fab candies and this darling rubber stamp was in the candy. She is Emaline from the Fairwees collection, I coloured her with my promarkers. So so cute, I loved her as soon as I saw her. 

And here are all the goodies that were in the candy that I won. So exciting. Thank you Amy, having so much fun with all these goodies xx  

Have you seen that Amy is having another candy at the moment? There is Emaline up for grabs as well. Check it out here.

Hello girls, good morning. Today, being Monday it's time for another new Challenge at Stamp Fairy. The theme for this week is to use BUTTONS and FIBERS on your projects. 

I have to admit that I don't use these much on my cards, but still I managed it with a bit of a struggle ha ha :) 

For my card I used this cute Lenny Cupcakes stamp, coloured it with my promarkers, some pretty soft coloured papers from my stash.. and of course the buttons and fibers. Hope you like it and have inspired you to come join us this week. 

And now I'd like to show you the latest release at Stamp Fairy featuring Barry with his pumpkins.. 

just perfect for Halloween, so cute.

Another Baby Card

Please go here if you are looking for the Crafty Sentiments Summer of Fun Blog Hop

and here for the All About Babies Just Wordz Blog Hop

This month I made two baby cards, both for boys, so I just had to make a Baby Girl as well... always come in handy. For my card this time I used one of my favourite baby girl stamps that I had purchased from Digi Doodles Shops Best quite some time ago. 

I coloured her with my promarkers, the little pretty flowers are from My Mum's Craft Shop and the sentiment is from Lili of the Valley. Today I attached some pink paper for the inside, thought that the die-cut border at the bottom would show up more when the card is closed.  I love how it turned out .. mmmm just the bow... must go fix it!

And now a Giveaway Alert that I read about this morning. It's happening at The Ribbon Girl Blog and look what they are giving away. You have until next Saturday to enter the giveaway. Good Luck to all and me too :)

I am so excited.. he he yes, Christmas came early for me this year... and it's pink too ... so fun. 

I also managed to fit in some clothes shopping, and then when I arrived home.. lookie again. This is what was waiting for me in the mail! What a sweet sweet surprise from Jennifer. She had won one of my candies and sent me this gorgeous card and lovely goodies. How sweet and such an angel. Thank you so much Jennifer.. a perfect end to my day :)   xx

Well I'm off to prepare my post for tomorrow now, back to work again tomorrow.. sorry haven't been able to come visiting much lately.. wow this was a really busy week for me, but I'm hoping to be back to normal  this weekend!! 

Before I go I thought I would take this opportunity to remind you about two Blog Hops happening this week! First one is at Crafty Sentiments and it's happening tomorrow along with the Weekly Challenge. There will be four lucky winners who will each win one of the new Summer of Fun stamps release.

And then the next Blog Hop, happening this coming Friday, is at Just Wordz. This will be an All About Babies Blog Hop and of course, there will be prizes as well. So stay tuned.

I know I still haven't showed you the goodies I won, but I want to do that with a card I'm making ha ha Thank you Amy, really loving the goodies xx

First time I'm using one of these gorgeous crocheted flower, had it for some time. It's from Little Snippets.

Bling It Up

It's a memorable day for one of my sons today! They both have been going for pilot training this Summer and today it's the turn for one of them to fly an aircraft! Of course they only get to do the cruising, the instructor takes off and lands, but wow that is still something! Life is so much different now, flying an aircraft at not yet 16..  I drove a car for the first time when I was 27 years ! 

Anyway ... another day and sooooo another card! This one today is my DT Card for this week's challenge at OSAAT and the theme today is to BLING IT UP! 

For my card this time I got to choose from one of Stitchy's gorgeous stamps and wow look what I chose this time.... The Key... so sexy I think! Really loved colouring her with my promarkers.

Not so much bling on my card unfortunately, in fact I found this one quite a challenge, and so the only bling I managed were some gems...

 .. and then I added a die-cut heart as well. It was a glossy one, have a few of these as I rarely use them, but today I had the idea to sand it up a bit and preferred it so much more like this. 

We are this week sponsored by Joanna Sheen

besides this there is also our Pretty in Print contest.

Check it out here.

I coloured him with my promarkers, digi papers are from Stamp Fairy ...

and followed a sketch today as well. I'm really pleased how my card turned out today.

No Sentiment

Hi everyone, it's time for another challenge at Crafty Sentiments and this week the theme is another easy peasy one ..  NO SENTIMENTS! Well I just had to use Billy and Primrose again this week for my card, they are so cute, but this time I tried a different colour scheme for a different look ...

I coloured Billy and Primrose with my promarkers, background paper is also from Crafty Sentiments, but not the die cut one. That was sent to me by Chrissy. Just was the right time to use it today, I think it was perfect for this card, loved it. thanks dear xxx  and something new that I am using today is the beautiful birds punch. I had won this in a fantastic candy given out by the lovely Lorraine. Woo hoo, thanks again Lorraine, having so much fun trying out the goodies. xx 

Billy and Primrose up close now..

Don't forget that there is a SALE going on at the moment.... just in case you would like to grab a bargain!

Surprise!

The weather is still so hot and sunny here ... we've been going out nearly every day lately. Needless to say,  this is really not crafty weather and again I haven't been able to make a card today, but I just remembered about one I had made for a blogger friend for her birthday and did not post as I did not want her to see it... so here it is now.

I hadn't known it was her birthday and so this really was a very quick card, but she loved it still and I was so happy to get her comments about it and that I managed to give her a surprise as I wanted  :) 

The image is from Whimsie Doodles, I coloured it with my promarkers, papers and everything from my stash.
