Forever Young, Forever Bella

Another card in a "Twilight" theme and this one is for the Blog hop happening at Club Anya. Now I am not expecting win anything but I wanted to join in! I hope I have got the scheduling right as you have to pre-register to be part of the hop and you have to post between 7pm and 10pm CST which basically means bedtime for me!

I have used the dress up set and stamped an extra image to get Edwards wayward hair! I have coloured his skin in a very light colour and pinked up a little around his eyes. I found this amazing photo of the trees at twilight on the web by googling "twilight trees".

I am still only on book three!

Here is the link to take you to the blog hop! http://clubanya.blogspot.com/2009/04/official-anya-blog-hoppin-bash-list.html If you have a few hours you might want to check these AMAZING creations out.

Bloggabella Bellerific Challenge

I always want to join in with challenges but rarely do, by the time I really think about it its usually past the deadline. However for some reason unbeknown to man I managed a challenge!!

SO here was the inspiration from the bella site....

I instantly knew I wanted to use lots of the beautiful flowers I have horded down in my shed, but I also knew that I wanted to have something that I would be able to see and appreciate so I made this.....

this is going to take pride of place in my crafty palace (my craft chalet) The centre is just held on with white tac so I can change the image, but I thought this crafty huggabugg was perfect!

I made a cute card last night, another chasing butterflies card BUT I cant share as its for the magazine! Boo Hoo! LOL

Eagerly Awaiting the Chasing Butterflies collection??

I know I am! Chasing Butterflies is the latest collection from Magnolia and I know Sir Stampalot are waiting for theirs to come really soon! So to get us in all in a waiting for Magnolia frenzy I thought I would make a couple of cards. I was lucky enough to get the Spring Kit, some of of Chasing Butterflies collection are in the spring kit. I will post on my blog when SSA get theirs. The are around 6 that I still "need" from this collection myself, so I will be stalking their website daily!

This one is made with Tilda holding bee, the lovely flower from a past collection and the small bees. The paper and cardstock is SU.

This one is made with Tilda holding Ladybird and standing between the butterfly grasses. I added clear gloss to the bugs, gives they a great 3d feel. Papers are SU.

Blog Candy ; Just a couple more for another addition to the stash! Kay from Toodles and Binks has kindly offered some Toodles and Binks stash for me to add... so come on ladies, post about my candy on your blogs and the candy will grow!

Twilight ; I am on the fourth book now, I am soooo desperate for a happy ending. My happy will be Bella and Edward together forever... but I have a feeling its just not going to end like that! :( DONT TELL ME THOUGH!! LOL

Easter Weekend ; typical have a few days off and we are all bunged with cold, however thats OK we can live with that, so Darren has to get a fluey type thing that makes him bed ridden Easter Sunday and zombie like on Monday so we didnt do anything ;(

AWOL ; I will try not to, but it might be inevitable that I will have to go AWOL from posting cards for a while. I have a BIG comission for Cardmaking and Papercraft and I need to get it done, hence all my cardmaking time will be for work and not fun.

Stamp with us challenge card 2

I thought I would enter this card for the second challenge, it being "birthday". I feel this card would be suitable for this occasion or many others! I know I only posted it the other week but I was really pleased with how it turned out and this set has fast become and favourite from the mini catallogue. I have used Petal Pizzaz stamp set with the wording from Occassional Greeting, chocolate chip ribbon, jewelled brads and Sweet Always Paper

The link for Stamp with us is on the right ----->

Todays proper card is the Easter/Spring card I made my Mum, not the normal Eatster card but I really had the urge to get a House Mouse stamp out and tulips are out everywhere right now so the image was fitting for the season.







Paper, Cardstock, Punched Flowers and ribbon are all Stampin'Up!
Image is House Mouse, coloured with Pro Markers

I hope you all have a lovely Easter Sunday.

Beary Cute

These bears are very cute, another sample card. This is a Penny Black stamp. The flower was a flower from a small vase which unfortunately smashed so I pulled the flower heads off and I use them for cards. The message is a black and white message from Craftworkcards.






I coloured this in with watercolour pencils. Beary Cute!!

Have had a very uneventful day today. I have been sorting out some of my storage boxes. A friend owns a shop and she has been giving me her Haribo and other sweet boxes, they are fantastic and stack and just the right size, so I have been labelling them Huggabuggs, Kettos, Leanne Ellis, Cuttlebug folders, Tulle, Anya and more. Its hard to do anything that requires "thinking" with the kids about! so this was the ideal time for this type of job.

I hope you all have a lovely Easter, I am sure I will be back before then, I am planning to try and make a card tonight, but we're see... I am not sure what to use.. Hmm I think maybe an Anya card as I need to use my on the farm set and also another "twilight" idea.

Putting a few of you out of suspense

OK a few of you tried to guess and a couple of you were right. I got a lovely package of Bella stamps... well they were actually Ketto stamps... there are so many lovely Ketto's to choose from, I really didnt know what to get. So I got 4 Kettos, 2 animals, 2 patterns and 1 Huggabug.





In the words of Bella, "I lovey them all"... here is a picture to drool over! and a little one that I started today.
