I just don't know how I managed wangle another DT post but I'm so excited about it this is my card but some folks might feel a Deja vue feeling!!! yes I posted the wrong card before haha what am I like?

The image is from Bows & Berries it's called Birdhouse Love and costs €2.00EUR, papers were fom Francesca the flowers are sequins, I also used Diamonte hearts from my stash, the sentiment is one of Sarah's it's called bird house in your soul which is also a song I like. I also used a MS punch & coloured it with Promarkers & chalks distressed the edging with Rangers Antique Linen

Week #124 Fairies and Angels

Happy Week-end all my blogging buddies & guest's hope your all having a good day I seem to be at a loss with mine as we normally have Grand Children but not today so we didn't know quite what to do with ourselves, what does one do without kids? so I took my darling to the garden centre bought crafting stuff while he looked at gardening stuff & chatted to some friends (this could be the start of something good & dare I say crafty ha ha) the garden centre is like a meeting place it's great.

This is the card I made & being a card GURU (not) chose to go with Die Cut's for a card for my 5yr old grand daughter for Easter

Paper is NitWit's Blossom budies too caled flowerspink, the Die Cut is also NitWit's thats called Petal Pixie I think, the only thing I added was the card & stichy stuff to make it.

This week is lovely Gina's turn to host the challenge on OSCC and chose the theme of Fairies and Angels the Design Team has a love array of samples to look at so please pop over to look & maybe join us.

This weeks sponsor is the lovely Stitchy Stamps

Week # 123 - Diamonds are.....

Hi bloggy friends just have to tell you all about the Challenge at OSCC it's the lovely Cat's turn for the Challenge & she chose Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend and the very Kind Sponsors are Sassy. 

Sassy Studios Shop

Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for a year now, and we have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters. I started designing images shortly after I started stamping, reason being...I didn't hardly like anything else out there I was a young adult woman at the time I was engaged, had no kids, I wanted fun sexy images that I would enjoy using and my friends and hubby would enjoy receiving. I designed images for 2 other digi stamp companies when my wonderful hubby kept trying to get me to go out on my own. So in June 2009 thanks to the few faithful followers I had, Sassy Studio Designs was born! It has been a wonderful journey starting my own store. We have just grown so much these past months.I still try to keep with my original philosophy and reason for designing stamps, make them fun and keep them sassy...and yes sometimes even sexy!

The winner will recieve....... 4 Digi's of they're choice

Elaine

from Craft My Life

Opps in all the excitement I forgot to post my card I'm having a proper Senior Day haha, so here it is: & also sorry to the people who commented on the last card it was the wrong one this is the right 1:

Oo La La

Today I went for a class at Grimsby Crafts to learn how to use Copics & the Grand Calibur to make extra large cards with Kate who I've been & met for the first time today & I'm so glad I did she is such a lovely lady, we used the Nestabilities Grand Circles, Copics, (what was the name of the papers Kate?) I think they where from Making Memories. The atmosphere was really fun & we had a good laugh we ran out of time which was a shame 30mins to 1hr extra would have been good but Kate has done an excellent job keeping an eye on us as we were all at different levels, I did manage to finish mine but I stickled the outer circle by mistake (never mind eh).

A close up of Lady

 Hope I didn't put too much bum fluff on Kate ha ha ( I did this at home) what do you think to the end result & I didn't have an inner circle but cut one out on my Cricut inner at 4" & outer at 4-1/2" I'll add that tomorrow. Thanks for looking.

TJ's Star Book

This is a Star Book I made for my new Grandson Taylor James it's based on the same one I made Sunday but blue & Antique Linen (Distress Inks) with a touch of pink & green, the only page I'm not too happy with is page 4, all the papers are from K& Co which I have had for an eternity & thought I better use them. I really hope my Daughter Laura likes it as much as I did making it.

Well I have to use up the old so I can replace it when I go shopping on Saturday at the Great Northern Papercraft Show at Harrogate (ha ha), all the card is from my stash, pearls & that lovely lace from RWS, I have used Marianne, Nestie Dies & Cuttlebug Embossing Folders & I have also used a MS punch, well that's all from me for tonight, thank you for looking.
