The hardest card to make!

Sympathy cards that is!

We learnt last week that our ex-nextdoor neighbour and friend passed away. It was a shock but also kind of expected. I really didn't feel like making this card and left it to the last minute!

I have another card to show you with a new release for DewDrop Craftz but that will have to wait till tomorrow as the glue is drying!

Exciting News Alert!!!

I am SOOOO excited!! I have been chosen to be on the Design Team for CleoCrafts who are starting a new monthly card making kit. They also have a blog so keep your eyes peeled!!

Can't wait to get my kit and show you the yummyness of it!!!!

Happy Birthday Cupcake!

Woo Hoo! Another card off my list and within the deadline too ;o) I must like working under pressure??!!
This card is for my little (well not so little anymore) cousin who turns 15 on Thursday!!! 15!!! I can remember holding her when she was hours old, where has the last 15 years gone?? She is sooo grown up now.

I used Cherry Cupcake from DewDrop Craftz and at ONLY £3.25 you'd be crazy not to buy it!!!

I also have a confession to make! The pattern paper isn't out of my scrap box :blush: as I had already coloured in the Cupcake and none of my scraps matched the colours so I HAD to cut up some delicious untouched paper, shame on me! LOL! Oh but the pieced of card is from my scrap box!!

Eric the Dinosaur meets Copic Buzz challenge no. 7

My friends little boy turns 1 tomorrow and so when I saw the Copiz Buzz challenge no. 7 (which looks like I just missed it - just my luck!!) I just knew I had to use Eric the Dinosaur!!



I also made a little tag for the pressie to match the card :)

Still using scraps from my scrap box but it STILL looks like it isn't going down!!

Oooohhh I also have some VERY exciting news but can't say anything yet, when I can I will let you all know

Belated Birthday Card

I had to make a quick belated birthday card for my little cousin who has just turned 11, we completely forgot her birthday so she received this card a little bit late but I think she liked it as she kept feeling it! I am still using up scraps of paper and card from my scrap box, I think I will have a major die cutting session soon so I can start using all my new paper but I am determined not to touch it until all the scraps have gone!

The stamp is going to be a new release for DewDrop Craftz, so keep an eye on the shop for it!!

I received this new stamp from Nikki today, it is going to be available to buy from DewDrop Craftz very very soon, isn't it just lovely?
