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 :-
Image :- House Mouse - Mudpie's Cake.
DP :- First Edition - Summer Breeze.
Colouring :- Promarkers.
Sentiment :- Hero Arts.
Card Candy :- Craftwork Cards.
Retro flower punch, pearls, ribbon.

I'm entering the following challenges too :-
Creative Card Crew :- Anything Goes.
Stamp Something :- Anything Goes.
Colour Create :- Pink, brown, cream, white.
Stampin' for the Weekend :- Tickled Pink.
Craft Your Days Away :- Make Your Own Flowers.

I think that's all lol! I've still got another 2 cards that I never got round to posting but I'll do that soon.

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.

Pink and Girly!

Hi everyone. After my exciting time at the Girls Want to Have Fun with Kath, Debbi and Anne on Saturday I haven't achieved anything else this week. Luckily my friend came over today and I made this card. My younger daughter's birthday is on Monday so maybe she'll get this card. I love this image, these PB hedgies are so cute aren't they.

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

It's a Girl.

Hi everyone, I was going to do this a lot earlier today but I couldn't get a decent photo. Not that good yet but better than my earlier attempts!

I've already made a shaped card as my DT card for Totally Gorjuss but I couldn't resist doing another one for Penny Black at Allsorts where they don't want to see square or rectangular cards. They're also having a DT call. I'd like to put my name forward for that! I don't think I've got any chance of making the DT but it won't hurt to try. I love my Penny Blacks and have lots I've not even used yet!! I was looking for something this afternoon and I found a carrier with a couple of Penny Black stamps and a Hero Arts cling stamp. No idea how long they've been mislaid. Oh dear!!

So here's my card. It's just a little titchy one as I made it with circle nesties.


I used :-
Image & sentiment :- Penny Black.
DP :- Craft Creations.
Colouring :- Promarkers.
Sakura glitter gel pen, pearls, Nesties.

I'm hoping to enter the following challenges :-
Craft Your Days Away :- White plus one other colour.
Simon Says Stamp :- Look what the stork brought.
Stamp Something :- Anything goes.
Easy Craft Projects :- Pretty pastel colours.

Well I think I should go now as it's rather late now. Catch up with you all later and thanks for looking.

Love is in the air!

Hi everyone, hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather this weekend. It's been lovely here in Aberdeenshire for a while now. I was lucky enough to have a day off on Friday but the only time I saw the sun was when I took the dogs for their walks as I was watching The Royal Wedding. It was really amazing, I loved it. Catherine was a beautiful bride and everything just went so well. I loved it when they left Buckingham Palace in the Aston Martin. Not sure why I thought I'd get anything done on Friday! Eventually in the evening I managed to make this card. Always useful to have a wedding card in your box.

I used :-
Image :- LOTV with some added Glamour Dust.
DP :- Sandylion.
Roses :- Wild Orchid Crafts.
Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.
Pearls :- Hobby House.
Beautiful lace from stash.

I'm entering the following challenges :-
Lili of the Valley :- Love is in the air.
Stampin' For the Weekend :- Wedding.
Totally Papercrafts :- Glitter.
Truly Scrumptious :- Sketch.
Easy Craft Projects :- Royal Wedding.
Die Cut Dreams :- Wedding.

I was quite pleased that I managed to make something after all on my day off and even more pleased that it all came together quite quickly.

I'm looking forward to another day off tomorrow for the May Day Bank holiday. If I hadn't had to work yesterday morning I'd have been off from Thursday till Tuesday afternoon. 5 days in a row would have been nice but since we weren't doing anything on Saturday it wasn't worth losing a day's holiday just to have a morning off. Hope the weather's still nice tomorrow!

Hope you like and if you can spare a minute to leave me a comment I'd love to hear what you think.

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.

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.

Quick Post!

Just a really quick post to show you a card I made last night for the LOTVchallenge :- one for the girls. I used the sketch from Stamp Something. And ECP Challenges where they want to see red.


I'm going out to the WRI after my tea, hence the hurry. We're having a quiz night as a bit of a fundraiser. It's just a bit of fun really. 4 of us are "the quiz team" and go to other people's quizzes so every year we make up a quiz and invite people to take part. I'm also the treasurer so I've bought the prizes, some raffles and a gift for the quizmaster. The qm is a local councillor who really enjoys doing this - apart from the fact we buy him a bottle of the Famous Grouse for his trouble, not to mention the tea  and homebakes! We have to watch him as he always wants to be helpful and give clues.

I'll come back later and tell you what I used to make the card!

It's Thursday now and I'm pleased to say we had a successful quiz last night. The quizmaster managed not to give away too many answers. I think people enjoyed themselves and had a lovely tea. Everyone was very generous and we had so many raffle prizes you wouldn't believe.

So here's what I used to make my card:-

Image :- LOTV cute square cut out with a circle nestie.
DP :- Forever Friends.
Sentiment and card candy :- Craftwork cards.
Snowflake :- Martha Stewart punch - isn't it gorgeous?
And lots of glitter!

Thanks for looking and I'm going to have a full day of  crafting. I need to try to get ahead a bit as my colleague is on holiday next week so I won't have my precious day off next Thursday to craft.

Thanks for looking.

Some Baby Cards.

I made some baby cards the other day. I have pink ones and blue ones and even lilac ones but my boss and her husband became grandparents last week and I've known their son, the proud Dad, since he was a little boy. So I wanted 2 special cards. I don't know if it happened as planned but here they are anyway.

This is the one I made for the proud grandparents.

I used a digi stamp from Pink Gem Designs, isn't he cute? I used some lovely blue gingham from Craft Creations and coloured with Promarkers.


And this is the inside. I stamped this lovely text from Paper Makeup Stamps on the left and the congrats message was done on the computer.

I'm entering this card in some challenges :-
Cupcake :- Sketch.
Stamp Something :- Use a digi.


This is the card I made for the proud parents. The photo doesn't show up very well but I used some more lovely DP from Craft Creations. The image is from Forever Friends and I've had it for ages and I've used it lots of times, I love it. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the pearls are from the Hobby House. And of course the gorgeous flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I've edged them with Promarker to match.

Inside I've used another lovely sentiment from Paper Makeup Stamps and just a stamped congratulations for the message on the other side.

I also made a tag to match for the baby's present. I love both of these sentiment stamps, they're just perfect for new babies.


I'm entering the second card in the following challenges :-
Truly Scrumptious :- Sketch. I've managed to use blue but no green!
Oldie But a Goodie :-  New Beginnings plus a stamp I've had for more than a year.

I think that's me up to date with posting now! Now I need to get some DT work done and try to visit some blogs. I only have one DT card to make and then I can try to get something done with the gorgeous DT kit Jacqui has sent from  Simply Create. This is my first kit from Simply Create and I'm quite nervous cos all the other girls on the DT are really talented.

Blue and White.

Hi girls, it's me again. Can't believe I'm posting for the second time today. I seem to be into monochrome today. First red and white and now blue and white. I thought I'd like to enter the Stamp Something challenge. This week they want us to use the colours of our flag. I'm Scottish and my flag is the Saltire or flag of St. Andrew which is blue and white.

I used :-
Image :- Story Time from a die cut sheet from LOTV.
Colouring :- Distress Ink round the edges.
Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.
Pearls :- Hobby House.
Ribbon and lace from my stash.
DP :- Papermania Pastel collection.
I'd also like to enter the Pollycraft as I used their lovely sketch.
Lace and ribbon also fits the challenge at One Stitch at a Time.
I'd best go now and finish making the tea and walk the dog as I'm going out tonight to craft with friends.

What a Sweetie!

Good evening girls, I haven't had time to make anything today....yet but here is a card I made yesterday. I love this Tilda, she looks so sweet, doesn't she? I haven't been very good at entering the Just Magnolia challenge for a few weeks, which is a pity as I love my Tildas. So this week I have taken the chance to be early for a change.

Colouring:- Promarkers.
DP:- Basic Grey.
Sentiment:- Craftwork Cards.
Roses:- Prima.
Also used:- Nellie Snellen punch, Nesties, velvet ric rac ribbon, heart charm,heart shaped jewels, red Spica glitter gel pen on hearts on dress and glimmer mist.
Think I may have overdone the Glimmer Mist, it's everywhere lol!
The other challenges I am entering are:-
Sketch and Stash :- Sketch and I used some new flowers.
Colour Create :- Red, white, chocolate and pink with the addition of silver and hearts.
Cute Card Thursday :- In the name of love.
Susie's Sassy Challenge :- Hearts and flowers.
Daring Cardmakers :- Have a heart.
Fussy and Fancy :- Dazzle us.
Paperplay :- Birthday card for someone special.
Pile it on :- Flowers.
I think that's the lot. Now will I try to make something or do my ironing? Decisions, decisions!

What a Cutie!


I made this card using the Whiff of Joy challenge sketch. This was really lovely and simple to use and you could dress it up as much as you like. I have kept it fairly simple as it is a boy card.


The DP is just some I found in a drawer! I coloured this cute Whiff of Joy image with Promarkers. Then I added some ribbon and buttons. I finished it off with some card candy and a sentiment from Craftwork Cards.


Apart from the Whiff of Joy challenge I am also going to enter the following challenges:-


Stamp Something :- Blue and white.

Susie's Sassy Challenge :- For a boy with the added option of an animal.

Daring Cardmakers :- At least one hole - I may be pushing my luck here but there are holes in the buttons!

I think that's it and I'll just go and post this now. See what you think and hope you can find time to leave me a wee comment. Probably be back tomorrow with another card. I'm off to see what I can do about my DT cards.

Just Magnolia 39.

I don't think this is exactly my finest hour. I decided to try the Just Magnolia challenge which is paper pleating. I followed the tutorial which was very clear but maybe it would have been better if I had practised instead of just jumping straight in. I have used red mainly which fits the Daring Cardmakers challenge. I followed the sketch from Stamp Something which I think goes well with the image. I think the card is "girly" enough for the Cupcake challenge and it is a birthday card which fits the Pink Elephant challenge.


I used Promarkers to colour the image, edge the image, sentiment and flowers and colour the card candy to match. The sentiment and card candy is from Craftwork Cards and the flowers are Hero Arts. The DP is DCWV, K& Co and the spotty piece is anonymous.

As I said probably not my best card and certainly not a good photo. I have just never got out of the bit all day. My husband had the day off today as his boss died of a massive brain haemorrhage yesterday and everyone was given the day off. He was the sort of boss who knew everyone who worked for him - and there were a lot of them. I think what bothers a lot of them was that he was a similar age to a lot of them! Since the roads around us are a bit better, still quite thick ice and a lot of water but an improvement, I went to buy a present for a friend's granddaughter and some more double sided tape! But I seemed to spend a lot of time just faffing about catching up on blogs before I thought maybe I could do a couple of Friday challenges. Tomorrow I need to shift myself and get my DT card done for Totally Gorjuss.

See you tomorrow, I should try to comment on some of the entries for the TG challenge now and maybe have a nice cup of coffee at the same time.

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.

Warm Wishes.

Hi girls me again for the second time today. I finished this card this evening after work. I was hoping to enter it in the Whiff of Joy challenge. I might be too late now though. Never mind another Christmas card is very welcome. I followed the sketch from Whiff of Joy and coloured this lovely image of Henry mouse with hot chocolate....yummm, with Promarkers. I used some lovely wassail DP from Basic Grey. The card candy and sentiment is from Craftwork cards. I used a Martha Stewart punch to edge of a piece of cardstock with a double hole scallop. The flowers are white ones from Hero Arts which I also coloured with a Promarker and finished with brads.

I think this also fits the Stamp Something challenge :- Glitzy somethings - I've added some jewels and stickles on the hat.
Whimsy :- Die cuts.
the Pink Elephant :- Favourite Christmas colour combination.


I managed to make this card this morning just to see how it worked and whether I would make any more similar to it. I think I might. The large snowflake is a Sizzix die. The image is Penny Black again coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment and card candy is from Craftwork Cards again. Not really much to it but it would be quick to do and I could vary the image and the DP which this time is MME colourful Christmas.

I've used a sketch that I followed some time ago because I thought it would be simple and quick to follow to make a few cards. After checking out some of the challenges I often enter I think it would fit the Creative Card Crew challenge which is gold or silver.

I'm off now to explore another couple of ideas I've had. I really need to get a move on because once I've finished these cards I'll be the lucky person who has the privilege of writing them. I also know for a fact that I need to revise my labels to sort the ones I don't need any more and the ones where the details have changed.

Maybe if I'm really quick (lol) I'll be back with another card later.

Favourite Colour.

Good evening girls I have a card to show you that I made using my favourite colour - lilac. I hoped to enter several challenges with this one but I may be too late. Never mind here it is anyway!

I followed the lovely sketch from Stamp Something. I cut round the image from Hero Arts, coloured the flowers and edged it all with Promarkers. I popped the "thinking of you up on sticky pads to give a bit of dimension. I've added lots of faux stitching for the Quixotic Paperie challenge. It is a "thinking of you" card to fit the Simon Says Stamp challenge. I have used my new "thinking of you" stamp for the Creative Inspirations Wednesday challenge.

Hope I can be in time for some of these challenges. By for now and I'd love to hear what you think.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

I've not had a busy day making cards today! I don't know where the time went.....I think I was catching up on blogs this afternoon and then my daughter phoned. So I didn't start making this card till after teatime. I think I can enter a few challenges with it though so that is always something. All in all I haven't had a very productive weekend. At least I am not out any evening next week ....as far as I know!!






I used the great sketch from Whimsy. It's a great sketch, easy to use but effective and you can dress it up a bit. I used a House Mouse image and on the House Mouse challengeyou have to have an aperture. Try as I might I can not get a photo to show that House Mouse is behind an aperture. I cut out the red frame using a scalloped nestie and a plain one and put it on top of the image with tiny sticky pads. On the photo it just looks as if I've layered the image on a piece of red card! So I hope you can take my word for it. The image has been coloured with Promarkers so it fits the Passion for Promarkers challenge for animals. I think it is cute and fuzzy to fit the Stamp Something. At least I think it is! Last of all Bizzy Becs Creatalicious challenges wants you to use only scraps of DP and add handmade flowers. Well I certainly used scraps of DP on this card. I've made a few cards with these papers so I have lots of scraps and fortunately I had some that were big enough for this card!! I have text on this card so it fits the challenge for Saturday Spotlight and One Stop Craft.


I used:-

Nesties, Martha Stewart punches, EK success punch and another punch. MME wonderful winter DP - lovely and glittery. Brads and jewel from stash.

I think that's about it. As usual I have left it a bit late to do my ironing LOL! Maybe I'll just do the things I need for tomorrow.

Autumn Colours

Just a quick post now cos I'm going out to a card making session at a friend's house tonight. I thought I'd occupy my mind by making a card for a few challenges. I'm so nervous about the launch of the Totally Gorjuss first challenge tomorrow that I need to occupy my mind. I know this is silly but I feel quite jittery inside. I didn't think I would feel like this but it's a big thing for me. I've only been blogging since about the 20th of June so I feel as if I've come a long way since then!

I used:-

DP:- MME bloom and grow.

Image:- Tilda with pumpkin.

Nesties, Promarkers, Martha Stewart punch.

Ribbon, lace and buttons from my stash.

Challenges entered:-

Just Magnolia :- Sketch.

Stamp Something:- Brown plus something else.

Stamping for the weekend:- Orange, brown and leafy green.

The Pink Elephant:- Autumn.

The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge:- Autumn Colours.

By the Cute and Girly:-Autumn Glory.

Papertake Weekly:-The dark side - Halloween.

Cute Card Thursday:- Spook Fest.

Creative Card Crew:- Scallops.

Hope I've got all that right.

Friday Challenges.

Good afternoon everyone (I'm being cheeky here assuming anyone is going to read this!) I have had a nice day off here. The weather has been lovely, after the frost this morning we had lots of sun...but we have had a couple of showers too! Hope it has been nice where you are.

I managed to make a card for the Just Magnolia challenge - one of my favourites. Isn't Tilda cute all dressed up ready to go to school! I think these Sandylion papers fit the "school" theme very well. Tilda has been coloured with Promarkers and so has the apple. I used my EK Success punches to make my hand made flowers. The base card is Kraft card from Jillibean and I think it fits the theme well too. It makes me think of school books covered with brown paper lol!! Ribbon, brads and jewels are from my stash.

I'm meaning to enter a few challenges with this card:-

Just Magnolia :- Handmade flowers.

Friday Sketchers :- Sketch.

Stamp Something :- Something with apples, teachers, school.

Allsorts Challenge :- Use the colour "Kraft."

I'm off to post this now and enter these challenges and then get on with tea and dog walking and then I can do some more crafting. I love having a day off. I've even managed to read one of the daily papers today. Usually only manage to do that when I'm at work lol!

Thanks for looking and hope you like.
