Two cards from today.. one I like, one I dont

Here are two cards I made today. One, the monkey one I like. I made this using the mega cute stamps that I got from Kitty at First Class Crafts and the second one was the challenge pack that Kim sent. She said it was a struggle and I agree it was!! All the elements (paper, buttons, letter B and ribbon) were nice in themselves but for some reason it was harder to mesh together. With the B I was thinking of BOYS, BROTHER ect but then I had the shocking pink ribbon to add to it.... Hmmm well I sort of tipped my stuff out and the buttons fell next to the letter and made a oo, BOO! That was how it was born. I thought to myself bella certainly would not let a holiday determine what colours to wear and if she wanted to wear a pink cape then she would, so I thought it would go with the ribbon. The idea was there, but I am not sure it worked. And here is the fab cutey monkey from First Class Crafts.

Baublie Boo's

I love Stamping bellas baubles!

It's a bit of a joke between me and Em (stamping bella herself) Anyway, when kitty from First Class Crafts sent me this FAB set of "frog, duck and Monkey" for my Design Team kit I couldnt wait to make a card. This morning I coloured the frogs in and I suddenly thought how cute would Em's baubles be as eyes, and they look soooo fabo. I used a squeeze of lime bauble from http://www.stampingbella.com/ and the fab stamp set is from here

I also used the fab autumn leaves set also here these circles are great to have for your stash and you will be reaching for them time and time again, I know I have!

Materials Used : Missy B Designs stamps, Autumn Leaves circle stamps, doodlebug jewels, woodware ribbon, devine swirls cuttlebug folder, Large flower, decorative scissors, watercolour pencils and Aqua Brush, thin black pen for stitching

Here are the baubles in all their baublie glory! And who can resist a face like that?

Hot Thursday

101.9 wow thats hot! I wish I could say it was the tempreture here, but alas its my little tiger boy Harvey! I am keeping him dosed up with Calpol and Ibrupfen to get and keep that temp down. He has just had a bowl of soup (not chicken, but his fav leek and potato)

He is just vegging out on the sofa today, watching Cbeebies and Caiden is napping so I shot upstairs to make another card using the First Class Crafts Pink Cat Studio set. These little cats were just calling me and this christmas kitty was no exception. I love her, I love her eyes and I love all the sparkle that you can put on her pom poms and the pom poms on the wording, how fun is that?!

Here's another one of the "caz thinks shes getting all arty farty shots" Just coz its fun! Also you see how I coloured her to add some cute little stripes.

That felt like forever!

I was only missing from blogging for one day but it felt like an age! I just couldnt get anything done yesterday, not sure why but I missed it! :) So today, Caiden has been fighting his nap for soooo long, some days it seems he is dropping his morning nap, others he is ready for sleep at about 10.30... he has also discovered something really gross.... but also quiet funny... he has just found his nostrils, and walks about with his finger firmly "up there". This wouldnt be quiet so bad, but for the fact he has a cold.... YUCK! He just walks about with finger up nose, just like he was wandering with his hands in his pockets..... kids eh? Love em.

So, after all the fighting Caiden finally gave in and I quickly dashed upstairs to finish off another FIRST CLASS CRAFTS design team card. This again is using their everso cute Pink Cat Design from the one set, some fab papers, brads and flowers all also from First Class Crafts. I just love this cat and her very glamorous or should I say "Glamourpuss" glasses. Of course I needed to glitter glue these.

If you do happen to be inspired by this card, tell Kitty from First Class this is where you saw the card :)

I hope to get some more stamping done tonight, maybe another kitty cat card...and maybe I will mount up my Penny Black halloween witchy poo as well.... will just have to see how things go with the boys.

Enjoy!

My First Design Team card

Kitty from First class crafts sent me a huge packet of goodies, papers, ribbons, flowers and a few stamps. This is the first chance I have had to make anything I boy did I had fun. Its a simple card, what else do I do?! LOL But I am in love with these beautiful cat stamps from Pink Cat Studios and available from First Class Crafts. I coloured her with watercolour pencils and really went to town on the cushion she is sitting on. Wild and crazy colours and glitter, only a cushion like this would be suitable for this cat! I have to be honest here, I wasnt sure about these cats when I first saw them, then the more I saw the more I liked and then when I used them they stamp beautifully and to colour them in is such fun.

Materials Used all from First Class Crafts apart from the ribbon.
