Just Cute Bears Challenge # 1 - One of the Girls!

Hello, good afternoon! There is a new challenge blog called Just Cute Bears which has started this week, so I thought I would dig out this cute little Popcorn Bear stamp to use. I then realised that I didn't have a stamp-block large enough to accommodate it! I had a brainwave and stuck it onto a QK Rev die pack and voila it stamped out beautifully!

The theme of the challenge is 'One for the Girl's', this image fits in well with it. I have decoupaged the single flower and have coloured the image in with copics. I have kept it quite simple, as the image is so large. Orange and Yellow Co-Ordination cardstock, Papershaper scallop punch, bling and button from stash and the sentiment came with the image.

Am off to do some crafting with Georgia this afternoon. Am so pleased to announce, that a story that she wrote at school, has one a competition and has been chosen to be published in a book called 'Tiny Treasures - East & West Sussex, which will be available to buy worldwide from April. Am so proud of her! Ever since she received a handwritten letter from Jacqueline Wilson, she has been writing stories and wants to be an author, so watch this space, she may be famous one day, lol!

Enjoy your Saturday, whatever you may be doing, take care hugs Heidi xxxx

MAWTT Challenge # 31 - Nicki's Theme - A Recipe Challenge !

Good evening, am back with my second DT card of the day. This week over at Moving Along With The Times Weekly Challenge , it is the turn of our Nicki (Little Ted) to choose a theme. This week you can come up with your own sketch but the DT want to see the following recipe on your cards, using at least three of each of :-

Eyelets - Flowers - Ribbons

Nicki is also sponsoring this week's challenge and is giving away this great book 'Eyelet Greeting Cards' by Polly Pinder.

To my card, I decided to do something a bit different for my DT card. I had a long strip of Pink Bazzill Swiss Dot cardstock in my stash box and have made a three fold card with it. I have coloured in this lovely Anya image with my Copics and have mounted her on to some new Making Memories papers called 'Love Struck' and some Brown Bazzill. Have used four big pink eyelets set in using my Crop-a-dile, Papermania new flowers, buttons and bows from the scrummy new 'Capsule Collection'. The sentiment is a Penny Black one. I have inked around my image using a Momento 'Rosebud' inkpad.

You have until Wednesday 3rd February at 8pm to enter our challenge, you can also email entries into the email listed on the challenge blog. Do pop on over and take a look at the DT cards, as always they are fantastic!

Have a super evening, am looking forward to seeing how the lovely Davinia is getting on the Celebrity Big Brother house, was such a hoot last night! hugs Heidi xxx

Sneeky Peak of DT Card for Willow Sketchie Challenge

Good evening, hope your day has been a bit quieter than mine, lol! I have been shopping with my lovely daughter, and boy can she shop! My feet are killing me! It was lovely to spend some girlie time together, we don't do it very often. I did however get my way, and I dragged her kicking and screaming into a craft shop where I then shopped for England! A good day was had by all and she is treating us all to take-out so thanks Amy!

Now to my sneeky peak! The Willow Sketchie Challenge is back tommorrow and the lovely Sharon has been very busy creating some lovely new characters. Here is my DT card for our first challenge of 2010. Please do pop by the blog and see what the other design team members have made.

I will back in the morning with my card and my DT entry for MAWTT, when the lovely Nicki is sharing her challenge theme for this week.

Enjoy your evening, pizza and Celebrity Big Bro here I come!! hugs Heidi xxx

Sunday Sketch & Stamp Challenge # 20 - Ger's Sketch

Good afternoon, wow second card of the day, at last I have had some 'ME' time crafting and have managed to get my card order's finished, yippee!!!

I decided to do this challenge and just for a change, make a boy's card. I have two lots of twin nephew's, so boy's cards should come easy to me, but I normally cheat and buy them, tut tut!! Anyway, the sketch that Ger created inspired me to join in over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp Challenge . I am also trying to use up all of my existing stash as I have far too much. Also I found some QK dies that haven't even been out of the packet, so they will be getting an airing pretty soon.


To my card, I have used Bark Bazzill cardstock, some super Sassafras, Serendipity 'Hog Heaven' pinstriped paper, MS Flourish punch, QK Pin die, Hero Arts sentiments and a cool Anya Ian dude, I got for Christmas from a blogging buddy.

Right, am off to blog hop and make the tea, have a good evening, big hugs Heidi xxx

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge # 43, Pop-Up Card

Good morning or actually good afternoon now! I have spent most of the morning exchanging banter on Facebook with some good friends and I only popped on to my laptop, to post this card, lol! I am going to dedicate this to dear Linda, hope you like it hun? Anyway, here is my entry for the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge . This week's theme is 'Pop-Up's and the DT cards are fantastic! I have been given an order for some of these cards, so this fit's the bill quite nicely!

I really love this colour-combo, I dropped one of my oddment boxes and paper scattered everywhere, and these two colours were sitting together. My 'Little Claire' image is called 'Kitty & Flowers', I was given this little beauty for my birthday and have only just found her again. I have a few birthday cards to make for cat-loving friends, so she will be used a few times. Cardstock is Bazzill basics, flower punches in two sizes from Papershapers. My sentiment is from Hero Art's, button and bling from stash.

Am not travelling too far from home today as it is sooooo cold! Am going to go do some yoga on the Wii to warm up, have a great afternoon, hugs Heidi xxx
