Dream Valley Challenge 77 - BIG birthdays!

Hiya!

Well, dare I say it? It seems that Spring may have arrived! Yay! :-) It has put me in a lovely mood so the cards been making over the last few days all seem to be pretty, cheerful, pastel colours. The new challenge at Dream Valley is all about

BIG Birthdays!

I've gone a bit 'pink' with this card..... Once I started I couldn't stop so everything ended up pink - except the bear :-) There are a few BIG birthdays coming up in my family this year, but of them all, the 90th birthday of my Father-in-law's mom is probably the biggest. Now you don't get to celebrate birthdays that big very often, do you? :-)

I haven't used this Fizzy Moon image for quite a while but I really do like it. He's so cute! The sentiment is one from LOTV. I was gutted though. It's a really sticky one and it was stuck fast to the acetate sheet it was on and as I was peeling it off it got two little tears in it :-( It took ages to position it onto my block so I could stamp it without the tears being visible. I've never had that happen to one of my stamps before and I was quite upset about it! Must be more careful in future!

A close up of the image showing glitter I added.... Can you see the 3D gloss on his nose too???

Right, I suppose. It's about time I tidied my kitchen - it always looks like a bombsite at the weekend. But with the nice weather I can send the boys out in the garden to play so I can sort it out in peace :-)

Don't forget to have a look at the other BIG birthday inspiration from the Dream Valley DT!

Hope you have a fab weekend.

Love 'n' hugs,

Happy birthday, Ross!

Hiya,

I'm up at silly o'clock cos I tempted fate.... I posted on facebook about how well my little Charlie was doing without nappies overnight..... 3 weeks it had been, so I told the world and now I'm up and unable to sleep having stripped and changed him and his bed! That'll teach me! :-)

Today is the birthday of his little friend, Ross. Happy birthday, Ross! So I thought I'd share his birthday card with you.... I used one of my fave Forever Friends images and then only scraps from my scraps folder to do the rest - I'm quite proud of myself! :-)

As usual I coloured the image with promarkers....

A close up of the buttons to show the incredibly fiddly little bows I decided they needed!

I used:

Image - Forever Friends

Sentiment - Fizzy Moon

Promarkers

Papers - Tatty Teddy (spotty), Papermania Henbury Lane (stripy)

Papermania mini polka dots embossing folder

Quickutz cookie cutter stars

Papermania capsule collection buttons

Ribbon, pearls and embroidery thread from my stash

Challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - Fab sketch

Creative inspirations - Monochromatic

Cupcake Craft Challenges - Buttons and bows (the bows are on my buttons!)

Forever Friends - Use a sentiment

Passion for Promarkers - Stars

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - White and one other colour

Totally Gorjuss - Bingo (middle line: stars, buttons, pearls)

Right, I'm going to see if a mug of ovaltine helps me sleep! Night, night!

Love 'n' hugs,

A special birthday.....

Hiya,

My sister asked me to make a card for a friend of hers who is celebrating a special birthday :-)

I've used a Fizzy moon image and coloured it with my usual promarkers and added some glitter to the flowers.... The sentiment is computer generated. I'm sure I followed a sketch but I can't find it now so I can't tell you whose it is - sorry!

A close-up of the image - I think you can actually see some of the sparkle on this one (shock, horror!) :-)

I used:

Image - Fizzy Moon

Sentiment - computer generated

Papers - Papermania Henbury Lane (background), Wild Rose Studio (2 panels)

Promarkers

Glitter glue

Nesties

Ribbon - dovecraft

Butterfly punch

Gems from stash

Challenges:

The ABC Challenge - A for Anything goes

Simon says stamp - Anything goes

Cupcake Craft Challenges - If you go down to the woods today

Right, I'm off to visit some more of your lovely bogs! See you again tomorrow with my DT card for Dream Valley :-)

Love 'n' hugs,

Some thankyous......

Hiya!

Hope you are all keeping well! I made these back in July before the kids broke up from school. They are for my son's teachers to say thankyou for helping him settle in. He's has a fab first year at school! Lots of photos in this post so I hope you don't get too bored :-)

The first is an easel card and bookmark....

The image is Fizzy Moon and the sentiment is from Sentiments 4 You. The ribbon is from a candy win so I'm afraid I don't know where it's from - but it's gorgeous! I wish I had more :-)

A computer generated sentiment on the reverse.....

On the card I used Daisy and Dandelion papers, nesties, ribbon and pearls from my stash, a little punched butterfly, Xcut border punch and sizzix decorative swirl.

A close up of the sentiment....

Just so you can see the glitter on the flowers..... :-)

And then the second set is in purple.....

Bookmark the same as before....

But with a different name on it.....!

The papers are also Daisy and Dandelion.....

The same little butterflies, and glitter on the image....

The pins are from a candy win and I got the flowers from last year's NEC craft show..... :-)

Challenges:

CRAFT - Gifts

Totally Gorjuss - Round and round

Whoopsi Daisy - Anything Goes

Right I'm off to go shopping with my sister for bridesmaids dresses..... :-) How exciting!

Love 'n' hugs,
