I thought I would share these two cards after all. As I said before though I’m not so keen on them but I can’t put my finger on why so your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks for stopping by

It might be blog post overload from me tonight. I don’t feel like crafting (shock) and I can’t watch TV as Hubby is using it to play Wii. So I thought I would blog some cards I have made recently and schedule some blog posts of upcoming DT cards.
Our house hunting is going quite well and we have a shortlist of three houses that tick most boxes for both of us, the exciting thing is they all have study’s downstairs which will probably be a Craft Room/Playroom for me and Little One and will mean I don’t have to share the spare room with Hubby and all his books and computer stuff.
Enough waffle, here’s my card:
I do admit I’m a paper stroker, so having had this little beauty coloured up since before Christmas I resolved to use some of the gorgeous papers I’ve been hoarding. I also used a couple of the goodies I got for Christmas(corner die, border die and Dymo label machine) and a little treat I gave myself after Christmas (CC Designs 5 Petal Flower die).
I would like to enter the following challenges:
I really struggle with embellishing my cards so I would love to know what you think.
Thanks for looking

Boy oh boy, I thought this week would be easier as I love Purple. Chrissie and Mandy you sure have challenged me, but that’s what I love!
The LIM Ladies want to see ‘Predominantly Purple’ this week. There is an attempt #1 & #2 which I may share later but am still undecided as to whether I like them so for now here is attempt #3:
All purple apart from the tiny white pearls and one layer as well (very brave for me as it’s not even one layer week). I would love to know what you think as I really struggle with the placement of the images and sentiments on CAS cards.

Just a quick post from me as I’ve been running behind with everything all day and I need to head to bed soon as we have a busy day viewing potential new houses tomorrow. I’m here to share my card for the first challenge of 2012 over at Sarah Hurley Challenge Blog, where the theme this week is:
Anyone who knows me knows I love Flutterbies so I immediately fell in love with this background paper from Sarah’s fantastic Woodland Whimsies CD. I printed the paper onto pearlescent card which has really made the colours pop (not sure the shimmer shows that well in the photo’s).
The pattern is so gorgeous I didn’t want to cover it up so kept the rest of the card quite simple and just used a few embellishments (also printed from the CD) and a couple of die cuts made with one of my crafty Christmas presents…the Spellbinders Label 18 dies.
Thanks for having a look at my card and don’t forget to hop over to Sarah Hurley Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the DT have created for this challenge.
Bye for now.

This is my first post of 2012 and the first Critter Sketch Challenge of 2012. The theme this week is:
My card is to celebrate a birthday and even though it’s for a boy I couldn’t resist just a smidge (or two) of glitter.
Please hop over to Critter Sketch Challenge and see what the rest of the DT have made and also check out the details of the forthcoming blog up which is to celebrate Critter Sketch Challenge’s 100th post.
Bye for now.
