Baking a Cake

I bet the title of the post fooled you into thinking I was cooking....all I can say about my cooking is I can burn water lol.

Another set of freebie stamps this time by Adam Prescott and there are six different ones in this set and a really nice size too. I have had this paper in my stash for about 4 years and this is the first time I can remember using it...so ashamed...I think I have a problem lol. And I let go of another brad too must be sickening for something lol.

Waste Not Wednesdays - New Challenge

Well I have made a card for Lisa's new challenge, it isn't a challenge blog just a challenge to herself to use her uninked and unprinted stamps and digis. I know we are all guilty of buying something pretty and then never using it so I thought i would join in and I have used a previously uninked stamp. I bought this in the summer so not so long ago but I knew that it would probably have sat in my draw for a while if I hadn't decided to take part in this challenge. Now I have inked it of course I remembered why I bought it and had a blast colouring it.

I made a bit of a mistake when colouring his horns so decided to cover them with fuzzy fur and they look much better and also feel fab too. He is glossy accented to within an inch of his life too.

Card: Left over from prervious card

Papers: Shabby Princess " Cozy Sweater"

Embellishments: Daisie Company "Chocolate Kit"

Chocolate Mice

I think I am obsessed lol, if I see a stamp with chocolate on I feel the need to buy it but if it has mice and chocolate I find it impossible to resist. I have penny black, lili of the valley, mouse house and now hot diggity dog as well, where will it end lol.

This card was made entirely from snippets, from the card the image is stamped on to the card blank all found in the snippet draw so I feel that I can enter into Di's first snippet challenge.

The chocolates are from an old Daisie Company kit and I found them all printed and ready to go in my paper draw. A quick cut out and glossy accent and perfect embellishments.

As I have said before I seem to have a lot of chocolate themed items and this sentiment was bought from Elzybells before they closed, I also bought the chocolate brilliance ink just for the name....chocoholics anonymous anyone......

Another Day another challenge (well five actually)

I have enjoyed a really crafty weekend and have made quite a few cards, had to make two for Mum and MIL and couldn't decide what to do so made a few others in between.

I have followed the Sketch Saturday Sketch although the image is supposed to be round ( hope you can forgive my interpretation).

Have used an image from Bugaboo that was a friday freebie a few weeks ago. The image was a joy to colour and the whole card came together really quick. Used the woodware fluffy stuff again still loving it.

Cupcake Challenge Card

I decided to use this cute image from Whimsie Doodles and found a paper from my extensive (can never remember all the ones I have) digi paper stack that had jelly beans on it. Have gone with the circles theme from the cupcake challenge. Not entirely happy as should have made the card blank a circle as well but have used circle paper, circle image and spot and dots embossing folder.
