Cute Card Thursday

Had some spare time this morning so searched for a sketch to inspire this card, I had the image stamped and knew which papers I wanted use, I love these Lemonade papers from Basic Grey, just had no inspiration to get crafting.

The sketch at Cute Card Thursday was perfect not too fancy as I was short on time.



Here's a closer view of the image so cute.

Just off to iron the school uniforms for the week a job I hate.

Just Magnolia and A Spoon Full of Sugar

Hello again, two posts in one week again I,m getting good at this..
Over at the Just Magnolia challenge blog they wanted us to use lace, which although is only a lace trim on my card it still counts, I love how this card turned out really dont want to give it away now.
I popped over to a Spoon Full of Sugar challenge blog and it is 'Anything Goes' so I,m entering it there too.

Sketch Saturday

Sketch Saturday challenge blog have a great sketch this week and I could,nt wait to have a go with it, this is the second card I made the first was a digi image of snowmen but when I used some stickles for the glittery snow it warped image I really need to buy some digi paper, or use less stickles, not sure which was the problem. Anyhow this is my entry and I love it. Quite simple but very sweet.

I love this stamp I bought it last Christmas but never made any cards with it, I,m sure this is the first of many this year.

Kenny K,s Krafty Girlz challenge

Hello, Two posts in two days, must be a record.
I discovered Kenny K,s digital stamps a while ago, while surfing round instead of crafting.
His designs are amazing, so funky and so different to anything else out there. I can see me spending quite a lot over there.

On to my card, his challenge is Embossing, in any form, and when deciding what papers to use this paper jumped out at me the purple flowers were perfect for a bit of free hand dry embossing, which is harder than you think, the paper is very delicate and i,m not..
Two attempts later and running out of paper I managed it, although you cant really see it on the pic.
Is,nt she great, so foxy I love her. The colouring is a bit iffy I must buy some of the digital paper soon.

Just had time to fit this in I hope not sure what time the cut off is. But I found a lovely sketch to follow over at Papertake weekly challenge blog and here's the card I made with it.

Terrible pics again, its just started raining again so excuse the bad lighting.

This is a new stamp thats been in my drawer for an age and I used the lovely papers from Papermanias Rose Garden pad, another new purchase.
Hope you like it.

Virtual Hostess Club

Hello ever wondered what a Virtual Hostess club entails?
Well here is a bit more info about them.
A Virtual Hostess club is an opportunity for you to build a nice collection of NEW StampinUp! products over a period of time while spreading the cost and ensuring you are still receiving the fantastic hostess benefits associated with a qualifying order.
A qualifying order has a value of minimum £150. For this the hostess is eligible to the following FREE benefits
-One level one hostess stamp set of her choice( those are sets that cannot be bought, they can only be earned free with qualifying orders of £150 or more)
-£15.00 worth of free products to be spent as you wish in the catalogue.

So here comes our Virtual Workshop: 10 people get together ( I will advertise for those people you don't have to provide 10 of them yourself, although of course if you know a crafting buddy who will love being part of this please let her/him know) and form a club, the club runs for 10 months, each member agrees to place a minimum order of £15.00/ month plus p&p.
This will give us the minimum qualifying order we need every month. Each month a DIFFERENT member in the club gets to be the hostess and collects all the free benefits associated with that month's total. By the end of the 10 months all the members in the club will have had their turn to be the hostess.
Is as easy as that and each month a box of goodies will drop on your doorstep.You will also get a FREE copy of the catalogue and any mini catalogues released throughout the club duration plus free samples, projects and freebies a few times/club.
Fancy taking part? email me NOW at jayne@carroll33.karoo.co.uk to secure your place.
