Floral 40th

Just dropping by tonight with a quick card that I made for a friend who needed

a card for a girl in her office.

I didn't want too much detail but wanted it to be 'pretty'.

I have had these large number dies for along time and love using them as

 they are such a statement on a card.

Life is a bit hectic at the moment so do apologise for not being 'chatty'!

Cadbury Butterflies...

I'm such a bad blogger at the moment - I haven't been leaving comments although I have been taking a look at all the lovely creations in blogland. Life sometimes doesn't always allow you to do the little things....sorry.

Today's card was a customer order - Holly loves Cadbury's and butterflies - so her Mum wanted me to use this on her card.....what do you think?

 a different view

Thank you for stopping by

Happy 1st Birthday Connor

Morning !!

I was asked to make a card for Lewis' drum tutor's Son's first birthday - I asked Ben what did he have in mind - 'oh I'll leave it to you bit he's a little monkey !!'

Here's my card with a little monkey - Ben loved it :0)

I chose bright colours as I thought it suited the image.

Thanks for stopping by.

Simply 14

I have quite a few 14 year old cards to make for Lewis' friends and I didn't want to be spending hours on them so I came up with a very simple card.

Using a couple of old Accucut dies that I found hidden - I die cut the numbers 

and then with a brand spanking new die MFT Blueprints 1 I die cut the tag

 - added a black brad and put it all together......simples !!

Thank you for stopping by - don't forget tomorrow the ladybugs are back with a brand new challenge.

See you then

Midway Reminder....

Morning Everyone - just a quick reminder that it's midway for the

'Pink + 1'

 

challenge at Ladybugcrafts ink.

 

I was introduced to this Sizzix die by Julie Ladybug - and absolutely love it I have made a card using this before but decided for this one to make it smaller and just love the result.

I purchased some Stampendous Embossing Enamel and I sprinkled the  entire card with it and think it looks lovely.
