Mudpie's Cake!

Hi everyone, me again. Most unusual for me to post twice in the one day!! If you want to see my DT card for Totally Gorjuss please scroll down. I thought I'd show you another of the cards I made the other day. I was thinking about the House Mouse & Friends challenge which is use a recipe or a recipe card and thinking I couldn't enter but when I checked my stamps I found this image! Cute isn't it?

I used :-

I went to a crop today at my local craft shop. We have one every 4 weeks and there can be up to 11 of us but for one reason and another there were only 4 of us this time. Funnily enough we all seemed to get lots done today. We might tell the others that they're a bad influence lol! In truth we probably did as much chatting as usual. I think I was just a bit more organised than usual and I was pretty chuffed to get five Christmas cards made!

Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Thanks for looking and I'm off to catch up with my DT commenting and visiting my favourite blogs.

Totally Gorjuss 81 Water, Water.

Good morning everyone. Hope you are all looking forward to a relaxing weekend. I'm off to a crop after work today. Usually the same people go every month and some of us only see each other at the crop so it's nice to catch up.

Time for another challenge over at Totally Gorjuss. This week our theme is "water, water." We'd like to see something to do with water on your card or project. I have to admit I struggled with this one! But when I looked at my stamps I found one that seems to fit the theme perfectly.

And you know what that means! Lots of lovely stash to choose from.

Nearly forgot you can find my candy Here.

Thanks for looking and enjoy your weekend.

WRI Show Stuff!

Hi everyone. I don't know what's been happening this week but yet again I've hardly achieved anything. As promised I've got a few pics of my entries for last Saturday's WRI group show. First of all is my baking. The cranberry cookies on the left were 4th on Saturday and 2nd last night at our own little show. The cherry scones were unplaced last Saturday but 2nd last night. For our own show we take 3 items from each category - bulbs, handcrafts, baking and produce. I don't do bulbs -ever. Tried once and never again. I usually do handcrafts but didn't fancy any of them this year and the produce items were not for me either. So I had to bake!! These are not the originals btw as my husband ate some of them when I came home last night.

Sorry this is such a bad photo but I think this bracelet is a bit sparkly to photograph. It was highly commended on Saturday so I was quite pleased as it was a bit of a last minute effort and I haven't done much jewellery making.

This one's a bit cheeky.  The category was a crochet article in 20 cotton. The flower is from a pattern for a table centre. Probably no-one uses these nowadays except older people. I stuck a brooch back on it and transformed it into a brooch! I felt a bit bad about being placed third for it on Saturday.

These are my 3 bookmarks using different crafts. The crochet one is completely my invention! I used a different kind of crochet cotton from my usual and its a bit floppy. You might be able to see that it says "My Book" on it. The beaded one is a kit I bought and I'm quite pleased I managed to add the beads without too much hassle. The third is made using one of my favourite Hero Arts stamps. I stamped again on patterned paper and stuck the patterned flowers on flat. Since it's a bookmark I didn't think 3d flowers would be a good idea. I noticed at the show that some people had decoupage etc on their bookmarks but I thought that would be a waste of time as it would only get flattened or knocked off. I was also 3rd for the bookmarks!

This card has already been shown on my blog but I didn't have time to make one specially for the show. It was unplaced. The judges seemed to prefer cards with die cut decoupage or peeloffs! Or both.

We also had a category where each WRI has to make 6 articles following a set theme. This year it was "A Masked Ball". I can honestly say it was the worst theme we have ever had. I hadn't the faintest idea where to start. One of the others made a mask so I tried to copy the shape for my card. I had to draw it freehand as I couldn't find any stamps. Well I could but I didn't want to spend a lot of money buying stamps that would be no use to me lol! The mask was stripey and trimmed with red with added sequins. And feathers! I achieved the stripey effect by drawing black lines and adding glittery lines and then outlining in red glitter. I also added clear jewels at each side. I wish I had taken a photo of the table. We were unplaced but we think we might have been quite close to a place. Our colour co-ordination was really good and our flowers were really good this year. The ladies who judged our mini show last night thought our co-operative table was very good!!

Now I have a card that I've made for some challenges. It's quite plain so I think it would even do for a male card.

I used :-

Image :- Penny Black.

DP :- Wild Rose Studio.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

Sentiment & card candy :- Craftwork Cards.

Ribbon from stash.

I'd like to enter the following challenges :-

Penny Black :- Green.

Creative Card Crew :- Green.

Simon Says Stamp:-Happy Birthday.

I think I'd best go and see about my DT commenting not to mention this week's card for Totally Gorjuss.

Thanks for looking and I'll try to be a better blogger next week and visit my favourite blogs.

What a Helpful Doggie!

Peace at last! The pups are sleeping so maybe I can get something done now. So far all I have done today is let pups out to the toilet (seems like dozens of times), feed them, walk them!! Apart from that I've cut lots of cards to the size I want and folded it. I've also embossed lots of card so now maybe I can do something about making some cards. I really need to make a lot of quick cards so I can get them posted. After I've printed labels and written the cards of course.

This is a quick card I made last night. These LOTV cute squaresare a real lifesaver this year!

I used :-

Image :- LOTV cute squares.

Sentiment and Card candy :- Craftwork Cards.

Snowflake :- Martha Stewart punch.

Touch of Promarker round snowflake and sentiment.

Glamour dust on girl's hat, scarf and trims.

Glitter for snow and edge of image and DP.

DP :- Dovecraft.

I'm going to enter the following challenges with this card :-

Sketch and Stash :- Sketch and cute squares are new stash.

Secret Crafter :- Christmas.

Stamp Something :- Christmas card or colours.

Creative Card Crew :- Anything Goes.

Hope you like! Just about time to have a coffee now and get the tea into the oven while the 2 menaces are asleep. And then  try to get on with some more cards.

Thanks for looking.

Just Cute Bears #31 Pink & Brown

It's Sunday already girls and normally I would be wondering how it could be Sunday already and I'd have to go to work tomorrow. But this week I'm having Monday and Tuesday off as my daughter and 2 gorgeous grandchildren are coming to stay tomorrow for a few days. My son-in-law has to go away for a few days for work so it'll just be the 3 of them. I'm so looking forward to them coming! I'm also taking the day off next Saturday as we're having a special crop to celebrate the first birthday of the craft shop. We're all going to take along something to eat. I'm taking carrot cake and rocky road traybake. Maybe Poppy will help me with my baking!

But I'm sure you'd rather hear about our challenge at Just Cute Bears! This week we are being sponsored by Wild Rose Studio and we'd like you to use the colours pink and brown on your project. Unfortunately I don't have any of their lovely stamps but I do have some of their gorgeous papers so I've used them.

I used :-

Image :- Die cut from LOTV.

DP :- Wild Rose Studio.

Butterflies and bow on image covered with Sakura glitter gel pen.

Corners cut with EK Success punch.

Nesties, pearls and ribbon.

I'd like to enter the Lili of the Valley challenge as I used their sketch.

The Pink Elephant :- Ribbon and Sparkles.

Craft Your Days Away :- Things with Wings.

Crafty Creations :- Butterflies.

Creative Card Crew :- Sparkles and Shine.

If you've got time do please tell me what you think of my little card and I'm sure my talented teamies would like to hear from you too.

Enjoy what's left of your weekend.

2nd Post Today.

Here I am again girls with another card. Mr Blogger was very good and my scheduled post for the Just Cute Bears challenge appeared at the right time. That's 2 days in a row as yesterday's post for Totally Gorjuss appeared at the right time too.

This afternoon I have been making a card for a few challenges. I think I might make a couple of cards and then get on with my DT cards so that I've got them done in plenty of time!

I followed this nice simple sketch from The Pink Elephant challenge and ended up with a Christmas card! I stamped the bell and the holly on white card and then stamped them again on gold and white respectively and the clapper on red. I won these stamps ages ago when Kath had some blog candy and at last I've managed to use them. I decoupaged the bell, the clapper and the holly. Please don't ask why I decoupaged the holly, it nearly drove me loopy. Ever tried to cut out something as small and awkward as this? Believe me don't even go there lol!!

I also used Nesties, a Martha Stewart punch, Promarkers, the Cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder and Stickles. The DP is Cosmo Cricket - Jolly by Golly and the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and it is edged with a gold inkpad.


I'm going to enter the following challenges:-

Pollycraft :- Red and white.
Creative Card Crew :- Punch it.
Simon Says Stamp :- Punch it.
ABC Christmas challenge :- B for bells plus glitter.
Fussy and Fancy :- Winter - Christmas ok?
Daring Cardmakers :- What's the point?

I might be pushing my luck with the Daring Cardmakers challenge but the holly has points and if you like so do some of the snowflakes! I've kept the card quite simple as it is quite a small card and I think it would be a bit crowded if I had added anything else to it.

And that's it really, nothing else I can say about it really. I'm off to see if I can do anything else before I "need" to do my ironing.

Fast Card.

Hi girls I'd really like to thank everyone who congratulated me on my new DT position with the Just Cute Bears challenge. I'm really surprised to have been chosen but really, really chuffed and looking forward to working with Ali and the rest of the DT who are all very talented. Our first challenge will be on Sunday 24th and I'm really looking forward to the first challenge and hoping that lots of people will join in.

After finishing the dreaded ironing, checking my emails and favourite blogs I then faffed about for ages trying to decide what sketch to use for a few challenges. I think I'm still a bit overexcited about my new DT place lol!

I made this card very quickly in the end as I was running out of time! I'm going to enter the following challenges with it:-

Creative Card Crew :- Distressing.
Creative Inspirations Sunday Challenge :- Distressing.
Simon Says Stamp challenge :- Shabby chic, distressing.
A Spoon Full of Sugar :- 3DPs, 1 ribbon, 3 flowers and 3 buttons.
Allsorts :- Brown and pink.
Quixotic :- Judy's wonderful sketch.

I used:-

DP - Basic Grey
Image - Stampendous
Sentiment and card candy - Craftwork Cards.
Colouring - Whispers pens.
Flowers and ribbon from stash.
I should also say that I distressed the edges of the DPs and edged them and the sentiment with Distress Ink in walnut stain.

I think that's all I can say about this card. Feel free to leave me a comment then I know if I have made a complete mess or not LOL!!

Kat xx

Tigger!

Just a quick post tonight to show the card I made for the Friday Sketchers challenge. I did the bloghop the other day but I have been a bit slow about getting my card made for the challenge. It's been a bit of a funny day as mentioned in my previous post lol. Surely tomorrow will be better. This card will also fit the Creative Card Crew challenge which is distressing this week.

I think this could be a birthday card for a child although I have to admit to having a soft spot for Winnie the Pooh and his friends lol! Not sure if I like the card very much though!

I stamped the image twice and layered it with sticky pads for a bit of dimension. I coloured it with Promarkers and also coloured some card candy to match. I embossed some core'dinations Black Magic card with the cuttlebug and distressed it to show up the sentiments on it. My part circles are not very good because I'm not very good when it comes to drawing round plates lol! The DP is both sides of a piece of Bo Bunny paper. I finished off with some card candy from Craftwork Cards and some matching ribbon. Think that's all I can say about this card.

Thanks for looking and I'd love to hear what you think of this card.

The Last Two.

Good evening girls. Here I am with my last two cards. Should have had these done sooner but I've been missing checking out my favourite blogs so I've done a bit of blog hopping this week instead of crafting so much. I don't think I'm all crafted out with Christmas or lost my mojo, I just think I'm feeling like slowing down a wee bit.

I've been at work every day and just need to survive till 12.30 tomorrow and that will be me till next Tuesday afternoon. Next week will be better cos I'll just have Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning as my colleague will be back. Even better since I've done Tuesday morning and then Thursday this week she will do the next Monday (4th Jan)for me. In Scotland we should have 2 Bank hols in January but we were given the choice of 2nd off and work 4th or work 2nd and 4th off and the preferred option was back to work on the 4th. The Post Office excuse for doing us out of a holiday is so that the network is all the same. It's never been the same before and it's never bothered anyone before. It'll be interesting to see what they do next year!!

I'm waffling! Below is the very quick card I made for my son. One of my favourite Penny Black images, my favourite Cuttlebug snowflake, Martha Stewart snowflakes, card candy and sentiment from Craftwork Cards, MME DP and stickles. I stickled the hats and just realised that I forgot to do the snow under the sledge. I've done it now!! Lastly this is the special card I made for my husband. He gave me a great big soppy card and I don't think I can compete with that so this is what he is getting LOL!! I think this Penny Black image is really cute and I love this gorgeous DP from Fancy Pants. I have used my favourite snowflakes again and this very useful card candy. The image is coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment is from Penny Black too. I bought the lovely snowflake charm from Quixotic Paperie. I got some lovely charms there for other occasions too - you should have a look. Elaine has some great goodies - I never have a look without buying something. The prices are good and you get great service.

I am going to enter some challenges with these cards but I will come back and add that on tomorrow as I really need to go to bed now.

The challenges I am entering are:-

ABC:- K for kissing.

Susie's sassy challenge:- a touch of gold.

Magical Crafts:- Special Christmas card.

Penny Black:- Christmas charm.

Create 4 Fun:- Sketch.

Creative Card Crew:- Anything goes.

Crafty Creations:- Anything.

Stamp Something:- Holiday somethings.

See you tomorrow girls. Only 2 more sleeps now till Christmas, or 3 (hopefully) till I see my gorgeous grandchildren.

White Card

I made this quick little card the other evening and this is me just getting round to posting it. I thought I would make a plain card that would be quick to do and I could make a few of them and add to my stock of Christmas cards.

I have not used a sketch for this one as I just meant to do something plain but of course I couldn't help myself I had to add snowflakes, card candy, ribbon and buttons!

I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the front of my card. Then I used nesties to cut a scalloped circle and stamped this cute Penny Black image which I coloured with Promarkers. I added some card candy from Craftwork Cards. I added my favourite cuttlebug snowflake and Martha Stewart snowflake, both cut from glitter card. The sentiment is also from Craftwork Cards. I finished off by tying some white ribbon round the card and adding a button on top of the knot and another to the large snowflake. And that's it!

I think it will fit a few challenges.

Daring Cardmakers :- White with a hint of colour.
Allsorts :- Buttons.
Sophisticat challenge :- Snowflakes and sparkle.
The Pink Elephant :- Colour with your favourite medium - I used Promarkers.
Creative Card Crew :- Christmas.

I really quite like a white card with just embossing for texture and I think I might make a few more variations on this one.

I have another card to post so I will be back in a little while when I've taken a photo of it.

Blue Christmas.

Hi girls, I started making a card this afternoon but didn't make much progress before tea - thanks Tesco!


By the time I got back to it I realised that it was too late for the Colour Create challenge which is for blue, silver and white this time. Not to worry it is always another Christmas card.


I followe the fabby sketch from Friday Sketchers. The lovely Anya image is coloured with Promarkers and stickles used on her muff, edge of coat, boots and scarf. The sentiment and the image are both edged with silver. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.


Other challenges:-

Paperplay 2 papers, 1 ribbon and 3 buttons.
Anyone for Anya something round - buttons.
Pile it on 3 flowers and 5 pearls.
Creative Card Crew strings attached -silver thread with charm.
Secret Crafter seasons - Winter.

Hope I've got these right! Let me know what you think, if you've got time to leave a comment I can pop over to your blog and see what you've been doing.

Yesterday's card.

This is the last of yesterday's cards and the one that took me all the time! I think it is the last of the baby boy cards I need lol. I coloured one of my favourite Whiff of Joy stamps for baby cards with Promarkers. I love the pram charm which I see you can hardly make out... not sure why because it is hanging from the flower over the circle and the ribbon is under the circle....strange!!

I have made this card for the Creative Card Crew challenge - Babies and children.

and the Whiff of Joy challenge - Sketch plus Whiff of Joy stamp.

I used:- DCWV nana's nursery baby boy, nesties, Promarkers, charm, jewels, ribbon, pearl brad and punched hand made flower.

I'm probably too late for the Creative Card Crew challenge but at least I'm in time for the Whiff of Joy. Tomorrow I should get on with my DT card for Totally Gorjusss. Hope to see your entries for this wees challenge which is for a shaped card.

Now I need my coffee and bed!!!

Another Christmas Card.

Well after wasting the entire morning, well not an entire waste. I went to Tesco briefly since my son is going to be staying for a couple of days this week again. I also went to the vet's and got worming tablets for the dogs - treat for them in a few minutes lol !! And of course I had to do the washing and get it outside.

Isn't this a great sketch from Truly Scrumptious and I even managed to do some doodling on it. I coloured the lovely winter Anya from the Greetings Farm with Promarkers. Isn't she lovely? I used some gorgeous Christmas DP from Bo Bunny - I love this paper. I decoupaged Anya's muff, earmuffs, pompoms of scarf, hem of coat and top of her boots and stickled them all too. I added some strips of ribbon and topped them with some buttons from my stash. Nearly forgot to mention that I had doodled round the image for the Truly Scrumptious challenge.

I hope you like this card and I have a few challenges to enter with it.

Truly Scrumptious:- Sketch and doodling.

A Spoon Full of Sugar:- Christmas.

Pile it on:- 3d.

Creative Card Crew:- Sparkle.

Charisma Cardz:- Decoupage.

Simon Says Stamp Challenge:- Red and green.

Anyone for Anya:- You're Anya.

I'm off to make tea now and sort out my washing to iron later (or maybe tomorrow!). See you all later if I can get time to check out some blogs.

Soon be the Weekend!

I've been naughty again! After I fed and walked the dogs and hung out my washing I've been making this card. My excuse is that I'm working this afternoon and when I come home from work it will be too late and this card fits 4 Saturday challenges.

I used this great sketch from Sketch Saturday. It was really easy to use - even for me! I've used the lovely lemonade papers from Basic Grey and for the other part of their challenge I put some of the dark pink through the bug in the divine swirls folder. I used nesties to cut out the ovals, coloured one of my new Penny Black stamps with Promarkers and used a Sakura clear gel glitter pen on the hearts. The Pile it on challenge wants flowers so I punched out some with my EK Success punches and finished them off with stick on pearls. To complete the Penny Black challenge I add a piece of paper lace and buttons from my stash for the Whimsy challenge. The edges of the background paper have been distressed with Distress Inks for the http://cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.com/. I added faux stitching for the Simon Says Stamp challenge. And it looks like a girl's card so I can enter the Secret Crafter Saturday challenge. If I can get round to decorating the inside I could also enter the Creative Card Crew challenge too.

Just another view of the card to show that I put the image up on sticky pads to give a bit of dimension.

Not sure what work will be like this afternoon.....! My colleague just phoned to say that the printer wasn't working and the engineer had until Monday to come out to fix it!!! There are so many things you can't do in the Post Office if you don't have a printer. I guess I could have a quiet afternoon if the engineer doesn't appear lol!! I should be so lucky. Good thing it's Friday and not Monday or we would be really popular. On the bright side I am off tomorrow and I'm going to a crop at my local craft shop and I'm also off on Monday - just because I want a day off.

So I'm off to post this now and see if I can do some housework before I leave for work.

Hope you like and please let me know what you think if you have a minute to spare.

It is now Sunday and guess who forgot to post a photo of the inside of the card!!! I'm probably too late now but here it is anyway. I'm never sure what to do with insides. Some are easier than others - can be difficult if you have a 6x6 pad and only two sheets of each paper. Never mind her it is.

Fed Up Working!

Thursday evening.

I am so fed up working full time. I still have to get through Friday, Saturday and Monday before I get a morning off and even then I have to do housework before we disappear under a pile of dog hair. My Labrador is very considerately casting and she is a very big dog lol!!

I used the lovely sketch from the Penny Black Saturday Challenge to make this card. I coloured the cute Penny Black image with Promarkers. I was inspired to use these colours of Basic Grey wisteria papers by the photo on the Basic Grey challenge. I added some faux stitching and some faux lace - I used paper lace. The flowers were cut out from scraps of the DP using Martha Stewart punches. Brads were added to two of the flowers and a button to the other. I used a tag punch for the sentiment.Ribbon, brads and button are from my stash.

I hope to enter a few challenges with this card!

Basic Grey:- Inspiration from photo - inspired by the colours in the photo.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge:- Sketch.

Passion for Promarkers:- Polka dots and any colours.

Paper Maniacs:- Ribbon.

creativecardcrew.blogspot.com/:- 2 papers, 3 flowers, 2 brads, 1 button and 1 ribbon.

Papertake Weekly:- Faking it - faux stitching.

Creative Inspiration:- Animals.

Hope these are ok.

It is now Friday evening and I hope I am in time to enter the two Saturday challenges after all this work!

Second Post today.

Me again! I used this great sketch from A Spoon Full of Sugar to make this card. The lovely fairy is from Sugar Nellies, isn't she cute? I coloured her with my Promarkers and inked round the square with sandstone Promarker. I added star shaped jewels to her dress and hair. The stars on her wand and belt are stickled and I covered her wings with a Sakura stardust gel pen. I added some gel pen to her dress and belt too. Not too much bling I hope lol!! I made the flowers from scraps of the three papers with 3 sizes of EK Success punches. Then I inked round the petals with a Promarker and added a brad to each. Nearly forgot the DP is the lovely wild asparagus from MME.Hope you like her! I was quite surprised to make two cards yesterday evening. It's wonderful how sometimes it all comes together and you can make a card in no time and other times you spend ages trying to find the right image and papers and all the extra little bits you want to add!

Challenges for this card:-

Passion for Promarkers:- Sandstone and blue pearl.
A Spoon Full of Sugar:- Sketch.
Creative Card Crew:- Fairy nice day.
Paper Blooms:- Bling.
Stamp Something:- Favourite embellishments - flowers.

I'm off to post this now and maybe get an update on blogs and challenges. What I really ought to do is finish my ironing and phone my Auntie to see how her birthday went. She's fantastic for 93. I hope if I have to get really old that I'm like her. I don't think she crochets now but she still knits and does Sudoku and crosswords and gets out a lot and lives by herself. Not to mention if you phone her you can be on the phone for about an hour.

Have a nice evening and I'm off to enter some challenges!

Stamptacular Sunday 22

I decided to make a card for Stamptacular Sunday 22. I thought it would be quite simple as the theme is scallops and I often use my scalloped nesties lol! The DP is supposed to be black and pink and white. Not sure the black looks very black though. I have used both sides of the same DP as both sides fit the colours I wanted to use. The image is a Clarity stamp, coloured with Promarkers and then I went over the flowers and flowerpot with a Sakura clear glitter gel pen. The Prima flowers are from my stash and I added some stickles to the brads. Ribbon and jewels are from my stash.This fuzzy close up shows the stickled brads!

I am going to enter the following challenges:-

Sunday Stamptacular 22:- Scallops.

Creative Card Crew 26 :- Pink, black and white.

If the shoe fits...scrap it:- Polka dots.

Pink Elephant:- 1 ribbon, 2 squares and something sparkly.

I think that's all for now. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
