Good afternoon. Sunday again. Why????? Hubby was away over the weekend with "the lads" and came back earlier. Up to the point he arrived the boys and I had got on well, no major arguments - dad was home 2 minutes and there was an argument! Men, why do we bother eh?!
Anyway onto this little card - entering this into the Seize the Birthday sketch which is for a male this time.
This little fella with the birthday cake is a Pollycraft image as is the sentiment. The papers are MME's "L'il Robot" and worked really well for this sketch. The cogs are also from MME and have been topped off with some card candi.
Thanks for visiting!

Good evening - why is the weekend soooo quick??? It's been a mixture of sun and showers here today so there have been brief bursts of peace and quiet when the boys have gone out the play!
I followed this week's fab sketch over at Seize the Birthday which was looking for a feminine card - I hope this fits the bill!
The image is a pre-coloured square from LOTV which was cut into an oval with a spellbinder. The papers are from the Prima pad "Meadow Lark" which go with the coloured image well. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards (when isn't it???) and the flowers, butterfly, pins and gems are from my stash. A nice quick card to put together.
Thanks for visiting!

... I can wear whatever I want! Or indeed what I can get to fit me lol! This week seems to have flown by and there has been no craftiness done until now. Only 2 more weeks of school until the Easter holidays and they can't arrive quickly enough!
Over at Seize the Birthday this week the sketch is taking a masculine spin and over at Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge they are having a laugh. So it could only mean one thing for my card - bringing out Bugaboo's Gus! Let's face it every family has a Gus!
I had to go with bright papers for this one and chose WRMK "72 & Sunny" and some twine - simples! The tag sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and Gus's bucket, glasses and beach ball have had the glossy accents treatment.
Thanks for visiting!

Sunday again - its been a whole week since I made anything crafty! Life just seems to get in the way lol.
Peaceful here at the mo - hubby's watching football and the boys are out playing. Playing along with a couple of challenges with this card - Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge have a theme of St David's Day and want to see Dragons and/or daffodils. Have combined it with this week's masculine card sketch over at Seize the Birthday. So this is what I have come up with (although not sure about it - it looked better in my head ha ha):
This not so very scary dragon is Mr Fix It by Dustin Pike. The papers are Prima's Craftsman which had their first outing and the sentiment is Craftwork Cards. The frame is one of my new Spellbinders "Labels Thirty" and I just put some faux stitching on the edges.
Well off to do more crafting while no one needs my attention!

Good afternoon - why does the weekend seem to go by really quickly?? Can't believe it's Sunday again so soon. Did some retail therapy in Glasgow yesterday while my dad took the boys to a football match.
This little card is for this week's Seize the Birthday sketch for a female birthday and managed to combine it with Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge which is looking for the use of punches and dies:
The little fairy (with glittery wings) is from Sugar Nellie although I have lost the packaging and can't think what she's called. The papers are MME Miss Caroline "Dolled" up and the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards. The fabulous die cut background is from the new Stephanie Wightman range of dies - it wasn't particularly cheap but I thought it could be used for both male and female cards.
Off the mum and dad's for tea shortly - hooray no cooking to do!

I know, I don't post for ages then manage 2 in one go lol! I really am loving the Seize the Birthday challenge and it's such a great way to build up your birthday card collection (which is handy for emergency I forgot someone's birthday moments). This week they are looking for a masculine card based on the sketch so here is my take:
Have used the ever gorgeous Maurice digi from Pollycraft and combined him with Bazzill Basics Paper "Lucy's Crab Shack" and some gems - jobs a good 'un!
