Craft Your Days Away - Doilies and Lace

Morning!!

Hope you are all ready for the weekend with your wellies and raincoats... where on earth has our summer gone??

So it's time for a new challenge at Craft Your Days Away. This fortnight the theme is Doilies and Lace, and has been set by the lovely Berit.  There is a super prize for this challenge - which is a selection of doilies, lace and pearls!


Here's my card:

I made this card a while back as my friend was due to have her baby and I wanted to personalise it - but the baby is now 13 days late so I've not been able to yet!!  It seems like the baby is well and truly settled in.   I think she's off to the hospital tomorrow so hopefully she won't be kept waiting to meet her baby much longer!  But if you could all send the baby some pain-free eviction vibes that would be great!  I suppose it's only a good thing that the weather has been so rubbish - being hot and very pregnant in the summer is no fun!

The papers are from a First Edition stack called Sweet Owl and the digi is from Pollycraft.

So why not pop along and join us, there are some fab creations from my teamies for you to see.

Thanks for looking!

Good Luck Card

Hi,

I've had no internet for almost two weeks as my router(?) was broken, but I'm back!  I did try to post via blogger mobile - but it wouldn't upload my post.

I made this card about two weeks ago for friend at work who was leaving us to go and live and work in London.

I used some glossy accents on the four leaf clover and had a go doing a swirly pattern with my Bazzill jewel templates.  The lovely papers were free in a magazine, and the image is Pollycraft.

I'd like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

Do You Stack Up - Layers
If The Shoe Fits - Anything Goes
Saturday Challenge - 3 in a row (swirls, gems and ribbon)
Allsorts - Anything Goes
Bee Crafty - Miss You

Thanks for looking - enjoy the rest of your weekend.

and another snowman...

Evening all!

We've been watching Santa Claus the Movie this afternoon and my little girl was so excited screaming "Santa, Santa" at the top of her voice - it was so cute - but I think I may need to ask Santa for some new ear drums for Christmas!

I feel like I've used this snowman on practically every card I've made - but he's so quick to colour.

I'd like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

Freshly Brewed - Christmas
One Stop Craft Challenge - Traditional Christmas Colours
Winter Wonderland - Let it Snow
For Fun - Christmas Sparkle
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes (with a Dangle!)

Thanks

Afternoon,

I've just taken advantage of happy hour again to make this card, so just a quick post from me before I go and wake the children up!

The yellow card with orange pattern is flocked - it feels so soft  - I've had it for ages but only allow myself to use small amounts as I love it so much. Plus I've finally caught up with the trend for doily's!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

For Fun - We Give Thanks
Crafty Creations - Thank You
If The Shoe Fits - Thankful
Catch the Bug - Give Thanks
Sketch and Stash - Sketch
