Christmas In July

Christmas in July was what Fussy and Fancy Friday's challenged us to this week and this is what I came up with:

Image is one I was kindly sent last year, coloured with pro-markers, the oval is embossed with spots (cuttlebug). I created the gatefold card from base card stock, embossed the one side with winter wording (cuttlebug) and punched out some snowflakes (woodware). Ribbon and gems are from stock.

Thanks for looking and happy crafting! xx

Magnolia Monthly Challenge

It's Just Magnolia's special monthly challenge - and this time its to make a criss cross card. I've never made one of these before and I really enjoyed doing it, although i'm not too sure on the success of this card.

Anyway, this is what I came up with!

 Tilda was coloured using pro markers and the paper's are all from stash - except the map which I printed from the internet.

This is a challenge card for Creative Inspirations, who this week had a sketch challenge:

So I flipped it and stretched it slightly and came up with this:

The image and sentiment are from a new PB set that Aunty Sue gave me for my birthday! (BIG THANKS!) coloured with pro-markers. Everything else is from stash - paper off-cuts from previous projects and ribbon from stash.

Feedback welcomed

It's My Birthday and look what I made....

Well it's my birthday today and as in true style that means making something calorie filled and yummy for my work colleagues, so this year I've made these:

My main cake: Victoria sandwich with strawberry jam and butter icing

And a dozen of each cupcake - both plain and chocolate.

Hopefully this will see them through til at least.... oh 11:00?! lol! Right off to work!

Take care and happy crafting
