 Our sponsors this week are:

My Heart Pieces

eyeCandie Creations

Saturated Canary Digital Stamps

 I had so much fun making my card, I just loved the image I used which is called Honey from Saturated Canary. It took a while to colour in but was worth the effort. I used papers all from Magnolia, the ribbon is from Crafty ribbon, the buckle from Meiflower (I think) and the tag, little flower punch and twine from Stampin up. I also used some Prima flowers.

 

This week my eldest Son, Liam, has made a JDT card again 

He's used a digi stamp called Pinwheel which is from one of our sponsors eyeCandie creations 

I found some thank you paper for him to use. He them chose all the decorations and yes he insited on using Card Candi again on his card :-)

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy crafting.

CRAFT Challenge

 Morning all. I hope everyone has had a good week. I've been fighting with a head cold since my last post. I think I'm beating it now though.

Today is the start of another challenge over at CRAFT challenge, which is a recipe challenge.

We have lots of sponsors again:

Sassy Designs by Susie

Sassy Studio Designs

Trimgym's Digital Stamps and Images

There seams to be a large amount of friends due to have baby boys, so for my DT card I decided to make a baby boy card. I've not used a sponsor image but you can see inspiration using our sponsors images on the challenge blog here.

 

I used a stamp from LOTV which I coloured in with Promarkers. The papers are made by craft creations, the flowers from orchid crafts, ribbon from crafty ribbons, the tag and congrats sentiment were made from a SU stamps and punches. For my glitter I used clear and blue stickles. I also added some glossy accents to the bubbles to make them shine.

Thanks for stoppping by.

So, now it is time to get you some inspiration for this challenge. Here are our cards for this challenge.


Here's mine (Liams's) I've used a digi image from Eyecandie called Mothers day Ryan. My Grandma is 60 this year so I made this special card for her. I used my Mummy's craft things, apart from the card candi as I have some of my own in my craft box.

This is my younger brothers card (Owen's). He also used a digi image from Eyecandi called Flower pot treat, which he coloured in with Mummy's Sakura pens. He made it all by himself including the 'Grandma' stamping and using Mummy's Cuttlebug to cut out the image. Mummy just helped him punch the sentiment out and he wasn't strong enough!!. He added lots and lots of flowers to it.

Thanks for stopping by,


Your next stop will be Jenny. Hope you are having fun! Enjoy the rest of our blog hop!

Train first birthday card

I've just finished a first birthday card that I was asked to make. It had to had a train on as the little boys Grandad is crazy about trains.

I've used Stampin up ds papers, a sentiment from Lili of the valley, petite pennants builder punch (SU), card candi, letter stamps and a circle punch for the 'grandson'. The image is a digi image I coloured in with Promarkers. I can't remember where the digi is from, I know I've used it for a DT card for CRAFT challenge when they sponsored us, but can't remember the actual name of the company.
I'd like to enter this into challenges at:
That craft place - One for the boys
Craft your days away - Just for children
Emergency crafters - Bright and bold

Thanks for stopping by.
