Another Pretty In Pink Birthday!!

Evening all,

Sorry it's such a late one from me tonight, I wanted to post this earlier today but I didn't get in from work until late and then had to rush out to umpire 2 games of netball.  Ooooo it was cold tonight!!

Anyway, onto my card and this one was a commissioned card for one of our friends to give to his daughter Cleo on her 2nd birthday.  The requirements were pink with a cat on it somewhere!!  And here's what I made...

I'm so sorry the piccies are rubbish, I made the card on Saturday and by the time I'd finished it, it was dark outside and our friend was round to collect it!!  But nevermind, you get the idea right?!  Roll on summer ay!!  Is it me or has this winter been never ending?  Must be my age, lol!!

On a much brighter note (than the weather!) I was really, really chuffed to find out I'd made Top 5 at Cupcake Craft Challenges this week with this card - wahoooooo!!  How cool is that!!

It certainly made my day!!

Ok, time for beddie byes I think,

See you all soon,

Much love,

Awards #2!!

Morning All,

Hope you're all well today on this rather wet and dull Sunday?  A perfect day to stay in and make cards don't you think??  My Sunday has started brilliantly!!  Hubby had to go off to work but before he went he bought me up a cup of tea in bed (and a couple of jammy dodgers, shhhhhh!!) so I switched the lappy on to check out all your amazing blogs and to my complete surprise found that I'd won over at Totally Tilda Challenges!!  Wahooooooooo, I can't believe I won and I'm soooooo chuffed!!  Mainly because this challenge is a chosen winner rather than a computer randomly chosen winner.  Not that I mind winning like that either but it does give you an extra buzz to know that you've been chosen doesn't it?  I'm absolutely over the moon, I'd just found Totally Tilda too, this was my first time playing  :o)  I'll be back let me tell you, lol!!

Here's my card I won with...

Well, seeing as I'm on such a crafting high I think I'll go and create!!  Have a fab day everyone  :o)

Lots of love,
