Quick Share today

Hi everyone are you ready for Christmas yet..... hope all your jobs to be done are being ticked off your list!!  Anyway I'm nearly done, and just thought I would pop on to share something a little different to all the Christmas cards.  Its a card I made last week for a neighbour for a new baby so here is my share:-

The image is a LOTV one which I cut out from its square.  The BP is from Pink Petticoat.  The tree die is a Crafts Too embossing folder.

I'm entering my card into these "Anything Goes" challenges:-

The Play Date Cafe Challenge: 111

Hi everyone me back again!  Today I'm entering into this week's The Play Date Cafe Challenge which this week is colour splash week:-

and here are a few(!) photos of my litte card:-

 This gorgeous flower I made at a craft club a few weeks back and have been itching to use it on something!!!  Its made with something called burlap (I think!) its used in curtain making and when you wet it it becomes soft and pliable but when you dry it with your heat gun it becomes stiff again.  This flower is coloured with distress inks and plenty of Cosmic Shimmer mist to make it sparkle (OBVIOUSLY!!!!!!)

 This gorgeous frame die is a Spellbinders one which I borrowed from a friend on a recent crafty day - gorgeous eh!

I've been a bought myself some burlap and plan to make some more.

Anyways that's it for now... until next time

Ribbon Girl Challenge # 14

Hi well look at me.... second post of the day..... WOW haven't done that for a long, long time!  But anyways I wanted to enter the The Ribbon Girl challenge:-

Well as soon as I saw this theme it instantly reminded me of a card I made last month for my mum for her birthday - and well its just sitting in one of my computer files so thought I would dig it out and enter this fab challenge!  You've gotta take a look at all the DT work on this challenge totally and utterly gorgeous....

So here is my little card:-

The reason I choose this particular BP for this card is that my mum had seen the paper in one of my paper pads I was showing her that I had brought at a craft show and she loved this particular one.  She said it reminded her of the wallpaper we had at home when I was younger (albeit that it was all gold and not red!!) but we did have red carpet - sounds hideous - but actually it was nice - honest!!  So that was the starting point for this card - I too just love this BP its by Authentique and is called Uncommon.

Right off for mid-afternoon cup of tea and mince pie!
