Soppy mum card!

I don't know about yours, but my mum is not at all soppy, but I think she would still like this card I made using some beautiful Docrafts goodies...

Here's a list of the Docrafts goodies I used:

Simply Floral 6 x 6 paper pack 

Damask Pattern embossing folder

Xcut Heart Nesting die

Simply Floral Die-cut Notelets set

Xcut Floral Frame die set

The sentiment is from the Sentiment Collection which is a free download that you can get here along with lots of other free downloads here.  Here's also a list of Docrafts stockists.

Okay, that's it from me today - thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments/feedback you leave me!

Bellarific Friday time!

Please scroll down for my There She Goes and

Lili of the Valley posts (there are prizes to be won!)

It's Bellarific Friday!  Here is my card using the dragonflies are from the Em's Lantern Flowers set...

I just love those delicate little things and how they add a touch of elegance.  I used Prima paper and my Stampin' Up embossing folder for some texture.

Next week's Bellarific Friday is the theme of winter - yep, I need to get another Christmas card made so I'm up for that!

 

Love the leopard print!

OMG, where does the time go?!  Already we are into our Autumn and it was freezing this morning!  I hate, hate, hate it when it gets colder, greyer, darker in the UK - I gotta sort out my Visa to emigrate asap!

Hey ho, rant over.  Here is my Bellarific Babe card for today...

I just had to use Victoria and Juliettes Night Out again - I love these gals!  My niece and I are going out again next week and I'm sure cocktails will be involved - the perfect image for it!  And I want a zebra stripes or leopard print dress too!

Okay, I am off now to enjoy the rest of the weekend.  Hope you enjoy yours too and I'll catch you later on my blog rounds!

 

Going my way?

Hi everyone, I'm back again with another Bellarific Babe card using one of my all time favourite Uptown Girls...

She is so sophisticated!  And so stylish!  I wish this was me going on holiday right now too!  This is Sunny Is Stylish and I matched her up with My Minds Eye papers and a touch of Stampin' Up seam binding ribbon to finish it off.

Okay, I am off to finish the rest of my weekend - thank you for visiting and see you tomorrow with my There She Goes DT post!

 

Love you bunches

Hi everyone!  Very quickly popping in to share one of my Bellarific Babe cards using the very sweet Patsy Pixie...

I love how she is peeking out between the flowers like that!  I matched her up with Echo Park papers and the sentiment is from the Kissy by Mo Manning set - love that font!

Okay, I am off now.  Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

 

Everybody needs a house fairy

It's Bellarific Friday - yay!  And this week we had a photo to inspire us so this is what I came up with...

 

 

 



So I was inspired by the colours and the home theme.  And this fun fairy with the matching sentiment is Mo Manning's House Fairy - we all need one of these for the home!  Check out more Bella Babe inspiration over at the blog here.

The next challenge is this sketch...

Send your creations to Em by Thursday 9 August for a chance to win some Bella Bucks!  I will see you today on my blog rounds!

 

For my mum

I'm here today with my Bellarific Babe card I made for my mum.  I decided to go down the elegant route and made this...

Not my usual style!  But wanted to try the mixed media route and ended up with this simple card.  I used Em's Lantern Flowers that includes the butterfly (and a dragonfly) and for the background I used the Eclectic Mini mesh, bubble wrap and fresh script stamp set with a paler Versafine Smokey Grey ink.

Okay, thanks for visiting.  I gotta rush now to get ready for dinner with the family - ttfn!

 

Cocktail time!

(Please scroll down for my There She Goes DT post!)

For Bellarific Friday this week we had the theme of "Summer" - well we did actually have a day of it on Tuesday but it's disappeared again!  I just had to get out my newest Uptown Girl fave, Sandy and her Sombrero...

Oh to be on a beach surrounded by tropical Hibiscus flowers!  The papers are from the Bo Bunny Barefoot and Bliss collection and I used my very old Quickutz sunshade die that I inked up with a couple of shades of brown.

Our next Bellarific Friday theme is the sketch below.  Email your creations to Em by next Thursday 27 June. Thanks for visiting and I'll be here tomorrow with my Doodlelicious Diva post!

Beautiful you

it's Bellarific Friday time and this week the theme is sisters or friends.  Here is my Bellarific Babe card take on it where I've made a card for a friend PLUS I used one of the new Uptown Girls called Polly Loves Her Perfume...

She is so beautiful indeed!  And I love that sentiment that comes with that gorgeous gal!  I matched her up with BasicGrey LilyKate papers, a touch of lace and lots of Stickles Glue on the trims - this shimmers!  Here's a close up...

The next challenge is the sketch below - well, either a square or circle version!  Email your creations to Em by next Thursday 13 June for a chance to win $20 Bella Bucks (either by submitting a project or simply commenting on next week's Bellarific Friday post)!  ttfn!

 

All That Scraps April release review time!

We are showcasing more of the All That Scraps April release and today I have two more cards to show you.  First up is one of my all time favourite Mashi's Muffins new lady called Mashi's Muffins Mom...

The sentiment is from the AmyR Stamps All Women Sentiments set and I matched her up with October Afternoon papers.  I kept it all pretty simple because I don't think you need much more with this gorgeous gal!

My second card using Lil Lolita Bride Lilith who I have matched up with My Minds Eye papers and the pretty C.C. Designs Cutters Olive Branch Dies...

 

Okay, I am off now - check out more gorgeous design team creations over at the blog!
