A bit of a theme this week

Friday will be our 10th Wedding anniversary so there seems to be a bit of a wedding/anniversary theme with this weeks makes.  I have been working on a card/book that some one suggested on the Docrafts forum for a anniversary card.  I have finished the actual card its just the bits and bobs now to go on it and I need to work out a way of fixing it together.  I will show you when I have completed it, including cheesy wedding piccys lol!!!

Soooo to start this week off I have made a wedding ATC with one of the lovely pictures Cheryl sent me, I love the burgundy cushion so worked with that theme.  Backing paper, ribbon and buttons are all from my stash the ribbon with pearls was from my good friend Lisa. 

Hope you like her!  Off now to sort out the guinea pigs as the shed is being moved, so I can be closer to them awwwwwwwwww,  Hubby has spent all week creating a new patio for the shed to sit on, what a star he is!!!!
Byeeee for now!

New Stash

Here is the stash I have bought to play with this week!  I am dead pleased with it all and cant wait to have some time to spend playing with it when the kids all go back to school! 

 Papercraft mag, not one that I usually buy but the stamps on the front attracted me, I usually buy mags that have decent freebies rather than what the content is lol

 New little stash drawers for all the bits and bobs I have in boxes, the papers are papermania ones I love them and have had my eye on them for a while and they were £1 cheaper than normal at the range so they fell into my basket lol

That's it for now ladies I hope you are all having a lovely sunny shiney day!

Cheryl thank you sooooooo very much!  With out friends like you I wouldnt be able to do as much crafting as I do, you are a star!

A card and Atc

Here are yesterdays creations a card using Paper mania papers, I just love blue its my fav colour!  The image is from a blog candy I won over at Taffy Craftys Creations, I have coloured her with my pro markers.  The ribbon is from my stash as well as the buttons and gems (actually gems are the paper mania ones)  The sentiment is from the freebie sentiments that came with a creativity mag.

I also used the same papers to decorate inside the card and used a oval of plain blue to write a message in.

The second of yesterdays makes was this atc, I used freebie images including the butterflies, I lost the link of the fab site which I got them from if its yours then please let me know!  I found it altered bits and I think the 2 lovers sat together maybe one of Junes freebies over at Art Freebies  The black and white card is from my stash and the thread too.

Phew thats all the makes so far this week, wil hopefully be back with some more!
Have a fab week all!

First of this years Christmas Cards

Finally I have taken pics of this weeks makes so far!  Here is the first!

This is the very first Christmas card I have made this year, I think I am a little behind, so many of you have quite a pile developing, I am terribly unorganised! I wanted to make a chrimbo card that was brighter than the normal Christmas reds, greens and golds, so used some funky christmas papers from a mag I got last year.  The image is from Pink Gem Designs and its brilliant to colour!  I have used some glamour dust on the snow man and falling snow, coloured with Pro markers.  The sentiment reads Christmas Hugs.

So now you have to let me know what you think, your comments are greatly appreciated!  Thanks for popping by!
