Loads of Challenges

Hello. Wow, it was nice to do a bit of crafting yesterday, I really needed it, as I find my crafting very therapeutic. It allows me to "escape", and that is exactly what I needed after the last week. Thanks so much for the messages of support I received on my last post, it means so much to me!!! The family is holding up, and getting a little stronger each day. From tomorrow we will have to start trying to get back into routine and start getting used to life without Anne. It was wonderful to have my Mom here this week to help me get through this time and be here for the kids. Thanks so much for being there for me Mom, I LOVE you with all my heart!!

So onto my card. I have entered it into a number of challenges which I will list below. I so enjoyed colouring this image, and I got to play with some of my new Copics which I got from Paola. She gives great service, so for anyone in SA who is looking to start buying some Copics, contact her and she will be able to help you out!! This image was stamped for me by another dear friend Sharon, thanks so much Sharon, I am making good use of the images you stamped for me!!

Wee Memories Challenge and a few others!!

Morning everyone, hope you are having a wonderful weekend!! We have certainly had real Summer weather here this weekend. I got a bit of a tan yesterday while I was doing some weeding :)

So today I am posting a card that qualifies for 3 challenges, my first being my favourite Saturday challenge over at wee Memories, their challenge for this week is to use Patterned Paper on your card. This was the perfect challenge for me because I nearly always use P.P. on my cards!!

The second challenge is Challenge #138 over at Cute Card Thursday. Their challenge is "Anything Goes", so as you can imagine there have been LOADS of entries this week!!

The third challenge is to follow a sketch over at Just Magnolia. I have rediscovered my love for my Magnolia stamps (thanks to Sharon), if you may not have guessed from the cards I have posted this last week :)

O.K, so enough natter. Here is my card!!




I used the following elements on my card:
~ Patterned paper by Basic Grey and the other I am not sure??
~ Stamp is by Magnolia
~ Sentiments by Hero Arts
~ Flowers by Prima
~ Bling are Sprinkles by Annabelle Stamps
~ Ranger Glossy Accents on the Cupcake
~ Image coloured with my gorgeous COPICS
~ Stickles (on her wings) by Ranger

Thanks so much for dropping by today. Would love for you to say "hello" while you are here :) xx

JUST A REMINDER, WE ARE SHOWCASING 2 NEW ANNABELLE STAMP RELEASES TOMORROW AND ON WEDNESDAY. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE TO WIN SOME GORGEOUS STAMPS, SO MAKE SURE YOU STOP BY AGAIN THEN!! :)

Thank you Sharon!!

Today I wanted to do a little post to say "thank-you" to my on-line friend Sharon. She really is one of the nicest people I have met through this wonderful hobby, she is sweet, kind and encouraging, and I really hope to meet her in real life some day. She stamped me some lovely images and I received my happy parcel on Saturday.

It's been a while since I created a card just for fun, but I couldn't help myself when I saw some of the gorgeous images Sharon stamped for me!!

Here is my card.




Thanks for stopping by my blog today. While you are here I would love for you to say "HI". And please, do yourself a favour, stop by Sharon's Blog, it is wonderful, just like she is :)

Just Magnolia.

Hi All.

I thought it was appropriate that I post a card today, on World Card Making Day! What have you all got planned to do today, anything exciting?? Just a quiet one at home for me!!

The card I am posting is the one I did for the challenge over at Just Magnolia. Only thing is I am a bit of an airhead, and didn't post it in time to take part in the challenge. Oh, well!

I have to say, this is one of my all time favourite cards!! The challenge was to use grey & pink together, and this would have been a color combo I would have never thought to use!! I love the 2 together!!! This little image is an absolute pleasure to colour, and the Copics are just so rich and blend so nicely. I cut out the image and mounted her for a little extra dimension.

Hope you like it as much as I do!! Here is the card and closeup photo.



Stop by again on Monday. I will be posting my card for the challenge over at Simon Says and I have used another of my Annabelle stamps for this card too.

Hope you all have an absolutely fabulous weekend!!
