My entry for One Stop Craft challenge....

...'Die Cuts'
Hi everyone, I had such a naff nights sleep last night, for no reason, but, my mind was churning, but one good thing I had a creative moment and planned this card...as ya do LOL

The card is basically A5 finished. But I cut 2 pieces of 15cm wide and stuck the 2 ends 6cm deep , where the hearts are, then the opening is my favourite 6x6.....hope that makes sense!
The paper is Pink Petticoat, one of my FAV designs in the collections, it works for almost any occasion and with the swirls its bang on trend! The little heart gem is a watery blue, but, it may not show up too well...had a change from a pink one! The die cuts are Sizzix hearts

Thanks for taking the trouble to pop over, wishing you all a great day

Cute Card Thursday - hidden Treasure

FAB theme over on Cute Card Thursday of Hidden Treasure. Well I made this card yesterday for Mum's best friends husband to give her tomorrow for her 60th. He'd given me some photos to include...so I decided to make a little pull out booklet of the photos, but keep the card pretty and 'hide the photos inside the little booklet...OK so being a wombat I forgot to photograph the photos pulled out..DUH So please disregard my entryias I cant prove what I did now cos its gone ha ha

The papers are K & Co I love the shabby chic look of them
Have a good Monday all

An apology...re following

Ive had a bit of trouble with the following of blogs...my fault I have no doubt LOL
I think Im following but when I go to the relevant blog, Im not following on their list. Then the other thing is I have too many on my list to keep up with, therefore end up not visiting people as I should and WANT to!

Therefore Ive forced myself to go through my list and anyone Im not showing on their blog as they know Im following Ive stopped following...even though I dont think they know I did anyways!.so HOPE HOPE HOPE they not gonna miss me!!

Confused>>>>........I am! lol

sorry Im not being rude here, I love everyones blog and no doubt will be adding to my list as soon as today!

Garden card

I always, always, ALWAYS...get my drift! I purchased the images from Daisie and PC Crafter and came up with this simple, but I think effective card. I shall be doing it again in the future. I have decouped the flower head a bit to give a little depth.

Over on Kaboodle their challenge this week is charms so as I have used a slider charm and a frame charm so I hope thats ok as I haven't used a hangy charm!
Feel free to not count me if Ive lost the plot ha ha

TFL AGAIN
