Let the Cutie Pies Inspire you.........

Hi to you all....hope your weekend was a good one, so here we are at Monday again and its time for a new challenge with

The Cutie Pies

this time its a photo inspiration challenge based on this absolutely amazing photo. We all loved this picture, with the gorgeous colours, and as such we have some fabby DT cards that you've gotta see!

We are lucky enough to be sponsored by the wonderful Crafty Ribbons, so now you've two reasons to click on the link at the top and come and see what we've been up too!

 

For my own DT card, the papers pretty much chose themselves, and are from Papermanie. The Tilda image is coloured with promarkers. The balloon has a couple of layers of lavender stickles and then a coating of glossy accents - I wanted to make it look like one of those fancy helium balloons that they charge a small fortune for at fete's! The sentiment is my own little creation and the ribbon and cupcake charm are from my stash.

I would also like to enter this into the following challenges:
one stop craft challenge - add some glitter

Thanks for hopping on here to visit me, dont say it enough but I do appreciate your visits and your comments xx

So what to you think of this then?

So....Im in my local Morrisons yesterday, doing the weekly shopping (on a Saturday morning - yes I am bonkers!) and fancied some strawberries so I picked up this box for £2 and popped in into the trolley. It wasnt until I got home and pulled the clingfilm off so that I could do a little ....erm...quality control testing, that I realised what a sturdy little box this is and how much potential its has to be altered. I was going to save this photo for a before and after post, but then I thought I'd better give you a bit of a heads-up on this one in case any of you have a hanking for strawberries and pva glue!!

will be back tomorrow with a new Cutie Pie challenge post, bye for now xx

other styles are available!

Hi to you all and I hope I am finding you well! It may have been a quite week by way of my own posts, but rest assured I have been lurking around and reading your posts and looking at your work, when I get the chance too!

 

So, onto todays card, and this is a belated birthday card that I made for a work colleague who isnt so much into the cute animals/little people style that I usually lean towards, so I put away the digi's and promarkers and got stuck into showing that I do, do other styles!

The papers are from Graphic 45 Secret Garden stack (absolutely love this one, to the point that Im so gonna have to buy another one!!!)
The border punch is from Martha Stewart
The sentiment is my own work, the font is called "great vibes" or something like that.
The flowers are from a dovecraft pack and the ribbon and buttons are from my stash.

I would also like to enter this into these challenges:
crafty sentiments - use a sentiment
ribbon girls - add a button
a gem of a challenge - make it sentimental
one stop craft - flower power
Gotta run off now and do the dishes, so I'll catch you all soon xx
