Time to Celebrate

Good morning hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  I would like to extend a warm welcome to my latest followers:  Designer Diva, Patrice and Marianne.

Today sees the start of a new challenge at Hobbycutz and the theme this week is:

CELEBRATE

Here is my card:

I used Happy Hour by Kenny K one of this week's sponsors - thank you.  She has been coloured quite simply with Copics to match the paper, I added some Glossy Accents to her glass.  The paper is Echo Park Hybrid "Happy Days".  I used Dienamics Stitched Rectangle Stax to cut the image out and their Fishtail Stax to mat the sentiment which is by Cheery Lynn.  The beautiful heart is a lasercut from Hobbycutz which is available here.  I painted the heart with Acrylic Paint then painted it with Glossy Accents so it is nice and shiny like a lacquered one in real life.  Here is another view:

We have three wonderful sponsors this week:  Kenny K, Whimsy and our very own Hobbycutz.  Please go over to the challenge for more details.

Challenges I would like to enter:

Pattie's Creations - Spots or Dots
KennyK's Krafty Krew - Anything Goes

Well I didn't get any housework done yesterday, by the time I got back from dropping Dave at the train station and shopping I wasn't in the mood.  I have to do it all today! Hopefully it will leave me some crafting time before I go pick Dave up at the station at 6.  Have a wonderful day whatever you are doing and thank you so much for looking! Take care xx

Delightful Thursday

Good morning to you I am a bit late my computer is running sooooo slow today! Now I have a question for you:  Why is is on a nice day that when you have to spend 10 minutes loading your car up with a new pram, baby seat, parasol and changing bag the heavens open and an almighty hail storm happens?? I got drenched through and then as soon as we were driving off it was lovely sunny skies again - my jeans are still drying off!  Anyway mission accomplished we picked the pram and trappings up and had a demonstration of how to use it.  I remember when Harrison was still a baby Dave and I took him into the nearby village in the car.  When we got there we got the pram out and spent 15 minutes trying to get it together, in the end we had to come home!!!

Anyway enough of my waffle I am here because it is time for Delightful Thursday over at Digital Delights Blog and I have a card to share today:

I have used one of my favourite images Flower Power Daisy which is available here from Digital Delights. The sentiment is from the Birthday Sentiment Set which is available here. I have coloured her with my Copics.  Paper is by Echo Park Happy Days.  I embossed the Centura Pearl card using a Cuttlebug embossing folder and then cut the aperture out with Spellbinders Large Circles and made a frame for it with a Spellbinders Scallop and Circle Die.  Dienamics Fishtail Stax for the sentiment and the little borders are Cheery Lynn Tiny Expandable Borders.  Here is another view:

Please go over to the Digital Delights Blog and check out the rest of the DT's work. While you are at it there is a brand new challenge at Delightful Challenges this week and the theme is "Make It Simple" .
