Doughnutty delicious!

Happy weekend all!  I haven't managed to do much crafting this week what with sorting out our move to New Zealand!  We've been so busy getting estate agents round, doing some decorating, finding out about exporting cars, what we need to do for Visa...whew!  But I did manage to make a card last night using some gorgeous SugarPea Designs goodies!

So I thought I would make a thank you card - I'm going to need plenty of these to hand out before we leave as we have had so many offers to help us with our move.

I love doughnuts!  But I haven't had one for years - I get fat just looking at them!  These are from the Classroom Cupids stamp set (love that font style!) and the tag is made using the Sugar Cuts Gift Tag.

Okay, I am off again to do some more work on our move!  But I will see you all later as I'm going to do a blog round as I miss seeing all of your creations!

SugarPea Designs Sweet 2 Repeat time!

It's time for the SugarPea Designs Sweet 2 Repeat blog hop where we showcase the goodies from our latest new release! It's the usual rules - hop along and leave a comment at each stop along the way for a chance to win a Gift Certificate to spend in the SugarPea Designs Online Shoppe!

Here is my DT make creating a simple but sweet tag...

I used the tag from the SugarCuts Gift Tag die set and created a border with the heart border stamp from the Special Delivery stamp set.  I used some polka dot Doodlebug paper to die cut the heart out from the SugarCats Heart Journal Card die set.  I thought die cutting the envelope from the SugarCuts Special Delivery die set with kraft card would give it a more modern feel to it.

You can find the hop list over at the blog here.  Don't forget to hop along and leave some love along the way for a chance to win!  Thank you for visiting me and I'll see you again soon - ttfn!

Merry & bright!

There new Whimsie Doodles November challenge has now opened!  The theme this month is Merry & Bright - just perfect to get you going on those Christmas cards!  We are also showing this month's new release which is two sets of digis called Santa & Friends and Santa Sentiments.

Here is my DT make using both sets...

I used the sentiment on a SugarPea Designs gift tag die and my trusty Quickutz polka dot embossing folder.  The stars are glittery stickers by Paperchase.  The ribbon is by Stampin' Up, finished off with a bit of spare string.

Check the rest of the DT inspiration over at the blog here.  I'm off to do a massive house clean up - in readiness to put the Christmas tree up next weekend!

Toodle-oo for now!

Nautical tag

Over at the La-La Land Crafts blog this week we're having a tags or tickets inspiration week. I went for a tag using the new fab dies Wheel and Anchor dies and the Diamond Wire die...

I love those dies!  This'll look perfect on a man's present, don't you think?  Check out the rest of the gorgeous tags and tickets over at the blog here.

I'll be back this weekend with my Lili of the Valley DT post so see you then!

Pitter patter...

I feel such a dork - I didn't realise that yesterday was the last day of February so I didn't do two design team projects!  I feel so bad letting my teams down - sorry guys!!!

One of these commitments was for SugarPea Designs so I've made this pillow box and tag for a new baby...

I used the super cute One Big Hoppy set - don't ya love the sentiment?  So sweet and the font is cute too!  I used Echo Park Bundle of Joy papers (again, love these papers!) and topped off with a sweet little heart.

Okay, I am going to go out for a long walk along the coast now.  I've got a hangover so I'm hoping to clear it with fresh air!  Hope you have a lovely day planned too - ttfn!

Wine bottle tag for my MIL

Yes, here I am again today!  Nothing all week, then three posts in one day - whew!  I'm here now with my Bellarific Friday creation and this week we had a photo to get inspiration from.  I went for some of the colours and made this wine bottle tag that is going to my MIL...

The photo isn't very good but it looks fab on the wine bottle!  I used Em's Lantern Flowers and the Eclectic Mini Checker stamp for some texture in the background.  I finished it off with some simple ribbon and a bow.

The next Bellarific Friday is this sketch...

Send your creations to Em by next Thursday for a chance to win some Bella Bucks!  I'm off now but I'll be back tomorrow - ttfn!
