Candy Floss Wishes!!!!

Good evening everyone.
I hope you are all well this wet and soggy Monday.
Today it is mum's birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM
And here is the card that I made for her.

The image is from Molly Blooms and I used this particular one as mum always says that 'Molly' reminds her of her eldest granddaughter.....Chloe.
I have coloured using Promarkers. The papers are from my scraps box and the Kraft card is from a local garden centre.....Papermania, I think.  The flowers, pearls and lace are from The Hobby House. The die cut leaves are Marianne Creatables. I have finished off by adding some Stickles to the candy floss and glossy accents to the balloon.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:~
Divas By Design ~ # 53 ~ Lovely Layers Ladybug Crafts ~ # 1 ~ Anything Goes Creative Craft Challenges 2 ~ Anything Goes

Just A Little Note...

Good afternoon everyone.
I hope you are all well.
This is my first creation for The Pink Gem Design blog "Gems Of Inspiration".
As some of you may know I've been having a bit of a clear out and general tidy up in my craft room recently and I came across some giant pegs that I had forgotten about so I set to and made a note holder to keep together all those bits of paper that are normally floating about on my desk. 

For my image I have used a digi from Pink Gem Designs called Mimi & Bird. I have coloured using Promarkers and the papers are from my scraps box (I'm really making good use of all those scraps at the moment). The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I finished off by adding some pearls from The Hobby House and some Stickles to the flowers.
I would like to enter my peg holder into the following challenges:~

Traditional Christmas Colours

Hello everyone.
I hope you are enjoying the sunshine.
It's lovely here....and even better as I was at work yesterday.
We have a new challenge over at Christmas Crafting!
The theme for our challenge this month is:~
Traditional Christmas Colours (so that's Reds, Greens, Gold etc...)
And here is my DT project ~ 
A Christmas Gift Bag

side view

I made lots of these bags after attending a workshop a few years ago at Which Craft UK in Doncaster and again as I was clearing out the craft room I found a stack of bags I'd made when I got home. They all had different designs on but this was one I actually did in the class and hadn't finished but I finished it off quickly so I could show it here. 
(this was not my design but the design of the class tutor)
Our sponsor this month is 
Lili Of The Valley

Please pop along to the main challenge blog and take a look at what the rest of my team mates have created to inspire you.

Sparkle And Bling

Hi everyone.
I hope you are all well.
So it's 1st September and time for a new challenge over at 
Sparkles Christmas Challenges
This month our theme is 
Sparkle & Bling
(Don't forget this is a Christmas Challenge)
Here is my DT card

Now I have to admit to making this card a very long time ago after attending a class at The Hobby House but I thought it fit perfectly for this challenge.
The class was taught by Jill the owner of The Hobby House and we learnt this technique of stamping out images on acetate and adding glue and glitter. I was so taken with the result I came home and spent hours stamping, glittering and making cards up with all the different Christmas images I had stamped. When I was clearing out my craft room recently I found lots of  completed images and half completed cards so I set to and finished them off.
This month at Sparkles Christmas we have two fabulous sponsors
Joanna Sheen

With a £10 voucher for one lucky winner
and a $10 voucher for our second winner from
Di's Digi's

So don't forget to pop over to the main challenge blog and take a look at the lovely creations the rest of the team have made and we look forward to seeing all your wonderful Sparkle & Bling projects.
Thank you for stopping by.
Enjoy the rest of your evening.
