Daisy in the Garden!

I really must look for some more Sugar Nellie's at the NEC Hobbycrafts show this week - poor Daisy looks a bit lonely and she's the only one I have!

Crafty Emma's Store Challenge is asking for a card inspired by a song...mine is:

"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do...

I'm half crazy, all for the love of you,

It won't be a stylish marriage,

I can't afford a carriage,

But you'll look sweet upon the seat,

Of a bicycle made for two."

I remember Mum singing this to me when I was little.

Supplies:
Image: "Daisy" from Sugar Nellie coloured with Promarkers
Papers: Blue butterfly & yellow striped paper from Papermania
Embellishments: Chipboard flowers & tag (inked yellow), with gems & peel off sentiment

Mummy to Be!

This cute Forever Friends decoupage is from the booklet I've spent the last few days using (as are the papers and sentiment). I've distressed the edges for a bit of a different look (chalks, not ink).
Perfect timing as one of my friends from Zumba/ Ballroom dancing just announced that she is expecting!

Crafty Emma's Store Challenge #23 - Cute & Cuddly
One Stitch at a Time #49 - Pretty

Tagalicious!

I decided to try making a tag for a change! I used a Nellie Snellen circle die for the base (with pink card). The butterfly is made of felt, from the Papermania Henbury Lane collection, and I've decorated it with lots and lots of bling!! Then a ribbon to attach it to a present!!

Tilda with flowing hair

Here's a card I've made with "Tilda with Flowing Hair, coloured with my Promarkers (again one from a polo match). I've used two different pieces of My Mind's Eye summer papers, along with some plain Papermania green to contrast again the dark pink. A couple of Papermania Capsule collection flowers, two recycled buttone and some twine (and a peel-off) and it's done!
