Cupcakes Again!

Second post of the day!!! Just a quick one this time cos am starving and need to get some tea.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges

Penny Black Saturday Challenge Week 121 - DON'T BE SQUARE

Creative Inspirations Challenge 81 - BIRTHDAY THEME

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge 31 - STEP AWAY FROM THE SQUARE

Another cupcake card, last time I made the whole thing from scratch, I cheated this time and used the cards that I got in a free gift with one of the magazines (can't remember which one now) which made the whole thing alot quicker. I love this little image too soooo cute

Supplies: 'Piece of My Heart' Stamps by Penny Black, Sentiment Stamp by Ladybug Crafts Ink, Papers by Say it with a Smirk, Double Dot Card by Bo Bunny
Extras: White Card, Kraft Card, Beige Ink Pad, Pink Pink Pad, Ribbon from Stash, Copics, Promarkers, Card Template and Cherry from Magazine Free Gift

Right tea-time now XOX

Flower Power

Just a really quick post cos the matchsticks just aren't working tonight so I need to get to bed. Didn't manage to get any cards done yesterday but got to watch the last episodes of Gavin and Stacey and think I'm now all up to date with the Inbetweeners too. We went over to Neil and Steph's for the afternoon to watch the footy (ie me and Steph gab while Ian and Neil watch the game) think I may have convinced Steph to have a go at making some cards, so need to sort out a 'starter' pack for her so she can have a go (Neil will be cursing me if she gets hooked lol). Anyways we ended up getting Dominoes (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm my favourite) and then watching X-Factor (have to say am not a fan - I don't get how they can put such rubbish through and not put others through, I also don't get how some people's friends and families can let them go and audition, they must really dislike them lol). But all is good cos Strictly will be back on soon :) Anyways today was much more productive, managed to get 3 cards done and got another 2 planned so I guess that makes up for it, but still masses to get done in the next week and a half.

Right onto one of tonight's cards, I have made this card to enter 2 challenges...

Quixotic Challenge # 41: How does your garden grow?

Paper Play Challenges - Week 37 - All Shapes and Sizes

I've had these shaped cards for ages and hadn't got round to using them, so they were perfect for both these challenges, I used some My Mind's Eye Papers and skipped a stamped image - something which doesn't happen very often. The Flower in the centre is also from MME

Supplies: 'Quite Contrary' Papers and Flower by My Mind's Eye, Flower-shaped Card by Anitas, Sugar-Coating by Doodlebug
Extras: Pink Ink Pad, Green Card

Right shut-eye time for me now. XOX

It's time for cake

Wow can't believe it's been nearly a week since my last post. Haven't managed to get any new cards made so far this week - been busy typing up the family tree into a new program, and the cards I have made have been almost the same as ones I've had on before. But I did find this photo in one of my facebook albums and thought it was appropriate since the Paper shop seems to be full of cupcake themed stuff (I did give in and treat myself to a cupcake decoupage pad so I can cheat with the next few cards - will hopefully post the result later. But anyway how cute is this, I made this for a friend's daughters First Birthday. I was quite proud of myself cos the entire thing was made from scratch with no template - I know I didn't cheat at all!!!!

Supplies: Patterned paper all from the SWEET collection by DCWV, glitter and yellow, orange and red inkpads
Well I'd best get on - got a few cards to make with a load of new things, so I'll have something new to show you soon XOX
