Cherry on the Top

I hope you are all well and have had a lovely Saturday.  What a glorious day we have had here.  I hope we get the same tomorrow!
I made a little card this afternoon for my grand-daughter who will be 8 in a fortnight using a freebie I got from a magazine.  Coloured in with ProMarkers.  The papers are from Nit Wits.
I am going to enter it into the following challenges -
Allsorts Challenge - Free and Easy

I hope you like it.  Would love to hear from you.
Thankyou for visiting.

Concertina box

Hope you are having a great Monday and all is well.
Last week I popped over to Anne's blog - Liverpool Lou and she had made an expanding box.  She very kindly sent me the details and I made my own.  It was so easy and good fun to do and I think I will make more of them.  It is great for holding photos, recipes or many other small treasures. 
This is the inside.  The papers are from NitWits.  The flower is a download from Create and Craft - Paper Flower Expert CD.  The ribbon was from my stash.  
I hope you like it.
Thanks for popping over.
Have a good week.

Bunting

Hi and welcome to my blog.  I hope you are well.
  This is a card I made a short while ago and forgot to post.
I used a Simply Gorjuss stamp and coloured in using pro-markers.  The bunting is from Angel Crafts.  The flower is made from 2 daisy stamps and spritzed with glimmer mist.  I used a Martha Stewart border punch. 
I hope you like it.
Have a good weekend and Happy Crafting.

Another Two Little Owls

I hope you are all having a good Sunday.  As you can see from the photo it is raining again.  There is a big music festival here all weekend - T in the Park - and the heavens have opened yet again.

Two Little Owls

Hello - and how is everybody today.  I hope you are well.  I was crafting yesterday using the Cuttlebug, had the wrong plates in, the handle sprung back and whacked me on the hand.  It is bruised and sore today.  I wont do that again.
I was browsing through some old Making Cards magazines and got some inspiration to make this card using an owl Stampin' Up punch that I have had for a few months and didn't know what to do with.   I used Stampin' Up papers as well.  I used a Marianne Design flourish and punched out some little daisies.
I hope you like it.
Thanks for popping by and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
