Happy Birthday Taylor

Good evening everyone hope you all had a good week-end mine was great I got a day off work (unpaid of course) due to being silly and working all week with a bad back and I got to spend a full week-end with my son and Grand children so I have fallen behind this is only happening once a month.
Right so on with the show the theme for the challenge over at OSCC is For the Kids and this weeks lovely Sponsor is the lovely Dustin Pike who's artwork is brilliant and you really must go have a look at his work.

Unfortunately I didn't have a Digi on hand from Dustin and I needed a card for my grandson Taylor who will be 2 the day before Mothers Day can you believe it time goes so fast, I know Justin has one or two freebie stamps on his site here 
so here is my card I hope you like it:

Dp from Cuddly Buddly

Love is in the Air

Yes it seem's so have you seen the price of bought cards for Valentines Day I looked at a foiled one and thought can I do this without all the special sticky stuff you have to buy, I don't know but I am going to try with stuff in my stash £2-50 for a card I don't think so.
Good Moro my crafting friends in all walks of life and places too this week-end is a start to yet another great challenge over at  OSCC and you have all probably done the card already the lovely Sponsor this week is Saturated Canary:


So why not pop over to the blog and see what the Talented Girls have done as you know we don't do hard just FUN, well here's my Book Card and although it doesn't have a sentiment on the front the amore papers say it surely? I got the Inspiration from stempeleinmaleins.blogspot for a Christening card and like most people you get side tracked thinking this isn't very big, I could do it like this etc..  so here is my take on the book card I am still doing the other card.





For this card I have used:
Sponsor Image Canary Love
A Heart (pack of 4), Ribbon from The Works
Flowers from my Stash
Tattered Rose Distressing Inks
Pearls from The Hobby House
Nestabillities oval frame
MS Punch
Embossing folder
Copic Markers
2" Daisey and 1" daisy punches
Papers from stash.

Good News

Hello everyone out there in blog land I am not posting a card tonight I just had to share my good news with you all, First I would like you to meet Poppy this is my new Grand-Daughter she is pesently 20 weeks and 10 inches long.


Second: I was back tracking my blog challenges as I have had loads of Internet Problems and it seems my computer doesn't like Dongles, anyway I went on Fat Pages and Cards with Attitude only to find I got a top 3 how neat is that.



Thirdly I was still back tracking and found I was a Daily Talent Spot for January 16th, I'm just so pleased but how can you share with anyone who doesn't have a clue what you're Talking about or are not interested? so I thought I would share it with everyone here.

Sparkle and Shine

Hello everyone I hope the weather is being kind to you all it's gone a bit windy and glum here in the UK, but at least it is dry nearly all the Snow has gone too did you all have a good week-end?
We has a bit of a hectic one (which is most week-ends now) it was my Grandson Ewan's 6 th birthday I don't know where they have gone it's flown by and we had a little tea party for him it was so nice for him to see all the family.
Over at OSCC if you didn't know it's a new challenge this week called Sparkle and Shine the lovely Sponsor is A Day For Daisies
What a lovely challenge and it's something everyone has got in their stash somewhere finding it is just another problem, I changed my mind so many times choosing how it would go but am so pleased with the end result (although I think Kate might scream when she hears) I did the daftest of things I cut and embossed my image with the gems on my Image hence the de-bossed look I also wanted to share with you for those from the UK is the bling on the card (the clear) is hand jewellery from the £1 shop not sure if the Pound world has it, now for my card I hope you like it too.



I have used the Sponsor Image which is called Pearls in her Hair (which I change to fit the challenge)
Spellbinders Labels Die (Largest)
Dovecraft coloured Gems
Hobby House Roses and bows
Papers are free from a craft Mag
Copic Pens
Gems for hand Art.
