I can't believe it....

WOW... I can't believe it!!! I was featured on 'Inspirational' for my pink polar bear card below!! Click on the link on the right. Thank you very much to the very fabulous Enfys!!!!!!!

Peek-a-boo & W-W Update

You've probably guessed that I am loving these Cricut frames by now!!......... I went around the edges of the holes with stickles, the little polar bear is the QK die I used in the previous penguin card, only the right way up this time.... Snowflake is Cuttlebug, paper from Anitas pad, 4 little peel off dots and button from stash.

Well, I know I haven't updated for a while, but my total weight lose so far is 1st 4lbs.... slowly but surely eh!!! I'm sure I'll undo some of the good work this weekend though, it's my 40th Birthday on Saturday!!! apart from my aches and pains, I still feel the same inside as I did when I was 21!!!!! Listen to me rambling on...... have a nice weekend all.

Penguin

Hi everyone, I have entered this little card into the Quickutz Challenge blog comp, the penguin is made out of the QK baby polar bear die, I turned him upside down and coloured the black bit freehand, the beak is from the QK chick die, frame is Cricut on Bazzil bling, bg paper is Anitas stack pad, ribbon, dies and paper are from Crafts U Love. Very simple card, but I quite like my little penguin! what d'ya think?.....

Black and White Card and Candy Alert

I was inspired by Hans' beautiful black and white cards on her blog.... I used the Cuttlebug folder, added Jet Hotfix crystals, a black bow and some stickles, although you can't see it.... added black peel offs and two cuttlebug trees, simple, but I quite like it.....Pop over and see Elaines' fab blog, she is giving away Promarkers!!!!! have a look around whilst you're there, her work is stunning!!

Christmas Card

Good morning all, hope your week has started well....... I thought I would post this, although I'm not happy with it.... I attempted a Tunnel Card, I think that's what it's called!...... Although I followed all the instructions and measurements properly, it still never went together right!!!!!..... not sure what went wrong, but you get the idea, (It's being held together with paperclips!!!

I used Bazzill cardstock of course! Cuttlebug trees, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots emb. folder, Elzybells Stamps (thank you Kim!!) Hero Arts Stamps, Quickutz snowflake and Rub on.

Hope you like.....and have a great weekend everyone!

Couple of peel offs in the corners, Craftwork Cards greeting. Hope you like....
