PTW - Angels and fairies

This week, all the cards made by the PTW team are from the Kathe's Hear The Angels and Just A Dream stamp sets (you can see them here ).
And if you order between now and the end of September, these stamps are on offer - check it out here . This is an offer that Kathe is having and isn't an offer from The Angel Company btw. You can also check out her on line store here :)

So we would like to see your cards featuring Angels or fairys too.

I'm Back!

Four month old Lion Cub at Blackpool Zoo

OH and DD looking out over the prom at the sea.

Well we are back from the busiest ever holiday in Blackpool, we did everything and spent horrendous amounts but we had a fab time and that is all that matters! The forecast before we went gave out attrocious weather but it was lovely most of the time actually which was a big relief!

Since we have got back though, and luckily after I had finished most of my washing the washer door fell off, one of the hinges completely sheered through, and when we removed it the valve on the tap at the back was virtually stuck so now we need to pay for a plumber and a new washer, isn't it always the case when you have just spent loads????? Never mindI am a bit behind with everything now though due to washing, ironing, shopping for a new washer and us trying to get the old one out, never mind at least it's sunny (and the kids go back to school next week ;) )

No it's not gone LOL!

I haven't lost my mojo I have just been busy getting stuff ready for our hols.
See you when I get back .....xxx

Papertake weekly is 100!!!

The fabby ladies at PTW have welcomed me back with open arms it seems after me sebaticle and I am very grateful to them for being so understanding while I took a break.

Now I feel ready to start over and what better week than when we are celebrating the 100th challenge. For this challenge you can choose from any of the 99 previous challenges. There will be 6 prizes available this week each donated by a member of the design team and above is a picture of mine. I have chosen the challenge from the 5th January called 'Seeing Spots' and I have used another of the fab Lili Of the Valley stamped images. The rest of the prizes can be seen on the Papertake Weekly blog along with the rest of the teams fabby cards.

Thanks girls....you're the best! xx

Balancing act!

Isn't he a little stunner? Here I am with another new Lili of the Valley creation. I challenge you to resist him! He is available to pre-order here along with all his friends.

Christmas Bunnies - Tree

Another Lili of the Valley card, this time one of the stamps which is available to pre-order here. This stamp is only £3.50....can you believe it? So gorgeous! There are 3 more with the bunnies too which I will try to make into cards very soon. You can order all four or mix and match any 4 of the pre-order new stamps for only £12 .

Hug Time

I made this card using the largest image on the Best Friends- Hug Time Die cut sheet avaiable from Lili Of the Valley, what a gorgeous image!

This is a 6" x 6" card and shows of this size image well I think, there are lots of other sizes on the sheet too though so you can make any size card. The sheets are fab value at only 80p as there are enough images to make up to 9 cards on each sheet.

I will add a greeting to this at the top right corner at a later date I think but until I know who it is for I am going to leave it as it is.

I will be showing a christmas card made with on of the new bunny images tomorrow so be sure to come back!

Hi Everyone...you still there????

Good news...I should have something to show you in the next couple of days.
I have been sent some Die-cuts and images from Lili of the Valley featuring all the new characters and they have inspired me....no mean feat at the moment. I have coloured a couple of the images and am looking forward to making them into cards later, or tomorrow.
They are beautful, if you have not been to LOTV recently you really must they have some fab new stuff out now and even more out on the 22nd which you can pre-order.
Come back soon for my samples.

Teacher's cards and gifts

Hi...I'm still alive LOL!

These are the cards and gifts I created for the kids teachers. The images (from DigiStamp Boutique) on the cards were coloured by the kids and they chose the colours of the paper. I assembled the card though.

The sets of cards were made quickly yesterday using the Wild Asparagus decoupage and papers again. I made them simple and used quite simple sentiments for occasions which most people need cards throughout the year. I hope the teachers like them I have also got them a little set of luxury bubble bath and a bar of After Eight chocolate each.

Card for Grandad!

This card is for kids to give to FIL!

Using a great Arthur image from Digistamp Boutique and making Memories papers which are really old.

Anyone watch the Wimbledon mens Final yesterday? I am not a huge tennis fan but that was a great match!

FIL Birthday card

This card was made using a fab image from the Digistamp boutique. I coloured it with pencils and used more paper from the Wild Asparagus pad on the card.

Subdued Birthday

This is a birthday card which I have made for OH's Auntie. Sadly she lost her husband to lung cancer a day before her birthday last year so I wasn't sure how she would feel about celebrating with jolly cards this year. I decided on this decoupage from the Wild Asparagus range again and deliberately left writing off the front. I added 'thinking of you on your birthday' to the inside. I am sure this will be a very difficult time for her but I didn't want to ignore her birthday so I think this is a good compromise.

Nieces Birthday card

I cannot actually have claimed to make this yesterday, I made it a while ago but I did finish it off yesterday!

This is for my niece who is 15 tomorrow. I don't see her often so I am not sure what she is into, hope she likes it!
