Anything but a card for Crafting for all Seasons!

Good afternoon!

What a miserable, wet Wednesday it is! Keiran and I have finished all our errands this morning, and after I have posted this, we are going to curl up on the sofa and watch Wall-E, and eat crisps and chocolate! Cheaper than the cinema! 

Ok so it's new challenge time at Crafting For All Seasons and this fortnight it's

ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

And we are sponsored by

who is generously offering a $10 gift gift card to our winner!

Here is my offering...

I decided to make clocks for my project as I have had the mechanisms in for months now and not got round to using them! I have used 8x8 mount board and various rub ons and a Martha Stewart butterfly punch. Oh and some gems! 

Some close-ups...

I really enjoyed making these and I shall definitely be making more!

Sketch Saturday #203 with Simon Says Stamp!

Ooops! I'm the latest I've been posting my Sketch Saturday DT card....so sorry...as I said earlier, I'm just not with it at the moment...I have so much going on!

I did get some good news this morning though. Keiran got an offer of placement at the school I wanted him to get into! So that's one thing less to worry about! :)

So onto my card for this week's challenge at Sketch Saturday, and this time we are sponsored by 

How cool is that?!

So here is the sketch...

And my card...

I actually made this card for my friend to give to her God Daughter. The image is Luna Rocks from Pollycraft, and she is coloured with Promarkers. I then used paper from Pixel Scrapper and ribbon and a mini cd from my stash.

Fairy Birthday Postcard

Hello everyone!

What a gorgeous Monday...sun is shining, even if it is a little chilly!

Ok, first of all, sorry for not being around much. I have a lot on my plate at the moment, but also, I'm just not liking this new Blogger Interface. I can't navigate it as easily as the old one and I seem to miss an awful lot of stuff! And it's just not as much fun when you can't find things as easily. I will get there I guess...eventually!

Well today is the start of a new challenge over at Ooh La La and this week our theme is

BOLD & BRIGHT

Here is my card...

I have used images and papers from the newest cd-rom, Fairies & Blooms, and the Card Candi and ribbon are from my stash, and that's it!

Right...veerrry busy day at work...it's the Grand National today! I fancy According To Pete...

Good luck if you're having a flutter and have a fab weekend! :)

Pearl Anniversary

Here is another commission card order I got on Saturday at my market...

Obviously, it's for a Pearl wedding anniversary. I created the sentiment in Word, printed it on Jen's laser printer, then foiled it on her Foil It machine. Mounted onto silver Mirri, then finished with Memory Box swirls, white roses and pearls. Very elegant! I also made a box for it, but forgot to photograph that!

Vintage at Ooh La La

Good morning! And happy Monday!

Although it was chilly here, it was a lovely bright weekend here, for the most part :)

So today brings a new challenge at Ooh La La and this fortnight it's

VINTAGE

Front

 Inside

This wonderful image is Powder Blue from Passion For Fashion. The only added extras are the lace, the knot 'clasp' and the pearls. I left it very clean on the front as I wanted the inner to be the main event.

I can't wait to see what you come up with as I need vintage inspiration lol!

Have a lovely Monday!
