Good morning lovely peeps!

 

Coming at you from Pollycraft as we have a new challenge for you today...

 

Stars And Stripes

 

Well I'm really into my stars at the moment (as you might've guessed!) and I've always loved a stripe or two so this should've been simples right?.....WRONG lol!  I've changed the layout and DP's about 3 times on this one and I'm still not sure I'm happy with it!!  Isn't it annoying when all the other things on your mind that you try and escape when crafting just won't let you have a few hours off to have a play!!  Oh well.....I loved colouring this Lil Dumpling and I'm happy with that  :o))

 

 

 

A close up of Brains!...

 

 

 

A side view...

 

 

 

I made this card for Big Boy to give to his teacher at the end of term, in his words 'You've done a good job Mummy!' lol!  :o)

 

See you soon lovelies,

Much love,

Cazza

Anything But Square...

Morning!

 

Hope everyone had a fabby weekend?  We had fantastic weather here, I even put sun cream on it was that hot!!  Not that we went anywhere, just chilled at home whilst the kids spent the weekend in the paddling pool (or swimming pool as they call it lol!).  Sometimes you just need weekends of nothingness don't you, bliss!

 

Onto my card and today I'm coming at you from Cupcake  :o)  This weeks (fortnight!) challenge is...

Yes, probably just like most of you, I HAD to buy some of the new LOTV sentiment stamps!!  Love how quickly you can make a card when there's no colouring involved!!

 

 

 

This one is kinda like the one I posted here, except this is the girlie version lol!!

 

Hope you're all well?  I've been doing a quick reccy of your blogs but hope to have a proper catch up over the weekend.....along with some crafty time too!!  :o))

Let's Get Sentimental

Morning All,

 

Coming at you from Cupcake today and we have another fabulous challenge for you this week...

 

Let's Get Sentimental

 

Now this is a theme that would terrify me normally, but I have to say I totally loved it!!  So if you're like me and feel a card isn't a card without getting the copics (or markers of your choice!) out, then don't be fooled - it's fun to try something different  :o))

 

 

 

A side view...

 

 

 

This week we're sponsored by not one, but two fabby sponsors - Crafts U Love and Flat Friends so give sentiments a go and I'll see you over at Cupcake!

 

Much love,

Cazza

Happy Father's Day!!

Evening All,

 

And a Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there.  I hope everyone has enjoyed their day?  We went out for dinner with my Father In Law and then went over to see my Mum & Dad, a fabby day  :o))

 

Here's the card I made for my Dad and my Father In Law, normally I make them different cards but due to time constraints, they had the same style this year!

 

  

Colouring on Kraft, my first attempt at this technique too!...

 

 

 

A side view...

 

 

 

I really enjoyed colouring on Kraft, I was very nervous to even try this but it was more fun than I thought it was going to be and surprisingly quick too!

 

Ok, hope you all have a super evening, Marple for me - I love it!!  See you in the morning with my Cupcake DT card  :o)

 

Much love,

Cazza

Wot, no Copics?!!

Afternoon!

 

Super quick post from me today, just sneaking in before I go to pick up Big Boy from school!  Today's card is for my Brother-In-Law who turns 40 on Sunday and, as the post title suggests, something a bit different for me.....no coloured image and no copics in sight, dun, dun, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!  What do you think?

 

 

 

 

Very easy to make and very quick too, perfect for the 'rushed off her feet Mum' lol!

 

 

 

There is a load of glamour dust around each star and the 40 is also coloured in with it, it's just not showing in the pictures, must be the lack of light and sun, again lol!

 

See you soon peeps,

Much love,

Cazza
