Card for Marie's niece.

Hello again!!!!!!!

This is the card that I made toda for Marie from the cricut mb. She put out a call for some cards for her niece's birthday on the mb and this is mine.

I used one of my sisters super cute fairies for the button an popped Lauren's name around it in wordart. I have a thing about personlising cards so peole know they were made just for them!!! I cut it with my new fiskars squeeze punch ( had to try it out!!! lol !!!) and inked the edges then I popped a shadow one behind and inked the edges of that too, then I covered it in 3d glaze to make it like a button. Its hard to see in the picture but it really does look sooooo cute!!!

The idea for the base of the cards came from my latest do crafts newsletter!!! (heres the link for the card directions http://www.docrafts.co.uk/asp/projects/project.asp?id=2018 )

I cuttlebugged the base bit with swiss dots and the little opening flap bit with the happy birthday folder and inked the edges of them. I popped some doodle dots on to spruce up the corners and edges and some ribbon down the side. The birthday girl is from storybook and I popped some glitter glue bling on it to make it stand out a little.

I cut a tag from george and popped some ribbon in with a little eyelet (grrrr, big bite tried to eat it a bit but you can't tell too much......i hope!!!) the 12 and heart stickers are from my stash.
I love the way the flappy bit tucks behind the little circle and it mounted on a normal A6 plain card base which made the inside easy to write on (.....actually I did it on my computer, I do not like my handwriting at all so most things get done on my laptop!!!)

I realy enjoyed making this, it will be going in the postbox as soon as the little button is dry!!!

Thankyou for popping in xxxxxx

I am sure most of you know I have an amazing sister, she is not only my sister but one of my best friends too. I struggle with stamping ( even though Ihave t least 40 stamps and try really hard I am awful at colouring them!!!) so my big sis spends ages drawing and colouring them for me, then my also amazing husband scans them for me so I can use them on cards.
My husband and I have been working out how best to sell them for her to say thankyou and this is how I am going to start.
It would be a great help to me if you could leave a comment and leave any feedback.
I have made lots of cards with them and I love them, i just want to say thankyou to my big sis.I feel honoured to have a family that actively support my scrapping and cardmaking.
Thankyou for peeking xxxx

Woo-hoo!! I used my paper tagger!!!

I have finally used my new paper tagger!! it is cool!! i think it may be a new addiction adding a tag to every card!!! lol!!!
I cuttlebugged the bottom of my card with divine swirls and popped a bit of adhesive black lace across the middle. I popped the heart tag on through the centre of one of the flowers and then added a few of my forvever friends stickers with a bit of bling around them!! I used my embossing dust for bling around the stickers and a few dots on the card.I addedsome doodle dots around the edge as it looked a bit plain.
The inside is computer generated, I made it in word and added the hearts from clipart and inked around the edges with black and white.
I think it is cute....now what else can I tag....!!!!
Thankyou for popping in xxx

A few circle texts I have had for a while to share!

Well, me and Mo can't sleep tonight!! we got up about an hour and a half ago and we have been watching bugs life!! we had nutella on toast for a snack and are quite enjoying ourselves!!!!
I have had my love buttons file downloaded 125 times so far and the easter greetings 98 times so in celebration I thought I would pop these one on. They are a bit of everything that some of you may already have but I was just so chuffed that people were using then I decided to share these too.

I love doing these, I made this card for some special friends at christmas and it just makes cards so much more personal.

Me and my little Mo in the snow!!!

I am an extremely lucky mummy in that I work where my little boy goes to nursery. For the first time in a very long time we have had snow that you can actually play in in the UK, don't get me wrong, we do get a little snow from time to time but this time it was real, fluffy, play out for ages and make snowmen snow!!!

Yesterday the children were so excited we threw all ideas of what we had planned away and went outside!! wooo hooo!!! I am so pleased I got to experience this with Mo.

He was having a lovely time playing with all his little friends and it was so much fun for the grown ups too!!! snowballs were flying everywhere!!

My manager had her camera to take pictures for the parents and clicked this one of me and Mo and I love it.One of my lovely friends at work emailed this to me tonight, I had seen it but only tiny so I was so pleased to recieve it.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I don't do photo's of me unless I am forced so this is such a treasure for me to have and I wanted to share it with you all.

Paper Angels -Team one february challenge entry!

Yipppee!!! its friday!!!! oh I am so pleased it is the weekend, with the snow it has been a really tireing week. My new mats arrived yesterday so I was able to get the cutting done for my february team one card.

This card seemed like such a good idea as I was desperate to try embossing acetate ( don't ask me why, i just thought it would look nice!!!) I am not great at pictures which is a shame as this card looks so nice in 'real' life!!! lol!!! I tried to take lots of photos to get the views of the card so sorry if you get bored of looking at it!!!!

I used the plantin certificate for the base of the card and welded my LOVE from the storybook cart to it, then I layerd up the word LOVE with foam squares to make it stand out and gave it a little bling with glitter glue. When the glitter glue was dry I put 3d glaze on it. Then I used the hearts from doodlecharms and inked the edges and put a tiny I and U on them.Lots of doodledots on the inside of the card and more inking,I cut the certificate again in patterned paper to make the inside pretty. I cuttlebugged my acetate with divine swirls and then glued it behind the LOVE. Here is the link to the thread where all the other amazing creations from the team I am in are going:

OOOOOh!!! a new toy for me!!!!!

Oh what a day yesterday was!!!!the first ting to go wrong was our sky hd box died....urgh..we can't afford a new one(they are expensive) so no more Ty on extreme makeover or ghost whisperer for me...boo-hooo :( so we spent the whole day trying to fix it, dh is a bit of a whizz at things like tis so we had to got to his work and fetch solder and solder tools but no amount of intensive care would revive it.

There is one plus point though, while we were on our travels trying to fix it the boys decided they had the nibbles so we stopped in at the bakery to get them gingerbread men, across from the bakery is a little craft shop I like to womble around, so naturally to cheer myself up and stop me thinking of missing Ty I decided to go in and while wombling I found this paper tagger!! oooooh, i think I am going to like it!! it just looked at me and said "please buy me!!! we can be great friends" I think it is going to be another nice little gadget for me!!!! I can just see us sat, tagging everything. I am thinking of testing it out on mo and ryan later!!!!!! lol!!!!
