Anyone for Anya?

Another card made this week, cant believe how many birthdays I have so close to Christmas. This card is for one of my best friends she will be 31 on Saturday and we are having a PJ party at her house. I know we are all way too old to be doing stuff like this but we used to do it for our birthdays when we were kids so we thought we would revive the old and have one more.

I popped over to Anyone for Anya? blog this morning and their challenge is Bling It On.
Perfect for Cats card so here's what I made.
These papers are some more that I actually dug out the loft I found a whole box of craft stuff that's been there since we moved in march, it was like a early Xmas pressie all for me.

Charisma Cardz Challenge

Morning all, We have had our first snow this morning, the children think its fantastic and are hoping for a white Christmas, I think as we are now living a more rural village we may have a lot more snow than we used to get just a few miles closer to the town. I hope so as I cant remember the last time I had a white Christmas.

I have finally managed to fit a challenge in and as I needed another birthday card Charisma Cardz challenge of Anything but Christmas fit perfectly.
Of course I have used Tilda images and have used papers and card stock from a Doodlebug essentials kit I have had laying round forever.
Here's a few pics.

I love doing these style cards as you get to use two images and also a place for a verse to go as sometimes its nice to have it look more like a traditional shop bought card as in most of my handmade ones I don't put one in.

Hope you like it

Cute Birthday Cards

I finally managed to take some half decent pics of the cards I made earlier in the week, the first is for my niece she will be 6 next wednesday and is a very girly girl so decided to use a Tilda image for her and obviously the colours had to be pinky.

Even managed to decorate inside

Close up details, so sparkly..

My next card is for a friends daughter, who will be 10 on Christmas day, poor thing having to share her birthday with everyone, as we all get a present or two on her special day, Went with Christmas colours but used muted red and gold. Look at the bling flower centers I love them.

Decorated the inside again. Think it finishes the card.

A nice close up of those sequin centers.

All card stock used is Stampin Up, images coloured with my Stampin up markers and the papers for both cards is Basic Grey not sure which collection don't even think they are from the same one. All the glitter details are using my art glitter sets and a glue pen.

Got some xmas cards to show tomorrow just need to finish one off before I can show you.

Excuses Excuses

I know I,m always full of them, as to why my blog is not updated as often as I should but this time I really have a good one.
My amazing husband (not a name I often call him) surprised us all with a holiday to Fuengorlia, He told me about it the week before we went, not good if you have seen the size of my bum lately, (I think of fat as insulation for the winter).
The weather was glorious and we only had one dullish day, cant believe we were on the beach and swimming everyday at this time of the year.
Heres a few snaps.

I wont scare you all and show any of me in my bikini but we did have a fantastic time and had some great family time together.

Been crafting like crazy to finish all my xmas cards and have a few to show you but the light is so bad cant get good photos at the mo.

I have put a link in my side bar to Bunny Zoes Crafts, Nikki the owner is a fantastic lady and very talented, pop over to her site and have a look at all the gorgeousness thats there. The reason I have linked is the fantastic service I have received when I have ordered each time my order has been dispatched the same day which does not happen often, she stocks everything I NEED and I get it the next day. Who could ask for more.
