It is time for the 1st weekly challenge from JIC and its a Team B challenge. The challenge is Girly, We have a wonderful sponsor who is Aurora Wings and the prize is a $10 gift voucher to spend with the sponsor.

The wonderful image that I had to work with was Woman with gardenia & pearls, she was a pleasure to work with.

The card is A5 in size and is made from white card from Papermill. I then used red textured paper, which I thought was from Papermill but my mum has told me its not so no idea where its from now.

TTPH - Secret Santa Blog Hop

Hello Everyone

Over at TTPH we did a Secret Santa within our Design Team and doing a blog hop for you to see all the lovely gifts. We all had to send to someone and we all got something in return. I opened my box to find inside there was a handmade box (see 2 photos below) The box was all rough to touch I have no idea what it was made out of. My boys loved the box so much that they wanted it so now they are putting things in it :) when I opened up the snowman box it was like it was the bag from Mary Poppins, it just seemed to never end with lovely crafting goodies. I have taken a photo of everything laid out on my coffee table. There was things in there that I have no idea what they are but I love them, they are a thing crossed between a gem and a pearl is the best way to describe them. Also I got lots of buttons and brads in a little tiny trinket box :)

Its safe to say I love all my goodies so THANK YOU whoever my SS was ;)

Here is the hop list so that you can see the other things people got.

Anita's Birthday Blog Hop

Hello Everyone

It is the Wonderful Anita Blake's Birthday and we have decided to surprise her with a Birthday Blog Hop and also to make and send her some cards :)  The girls over at TTPH have taken part and I hope you will join in the hop with us (list below) 

Below is my card I made for Anita, Purple is her fav colour so wanted to make that the main colour of the card :) I used a purple striped card from Kanban and then I cut using a spellbinders die and Purple card-stock. I had the sentiment sticker and corner stickers in my stash. When I saw the sentiment I thought it was perfect for Anita as she is a good friend to me. I then added pink gems to the corner and sentiment sticker. The sentiment reads:   Friendship is a precious thing, So hold on good and strong, When you find that special Person, It can last a whole life long.  Happy Birthday.

There is lots of exciting things coming for 2014 and I can't wait.

Now back to the challenge details :) The challenge as I said before the Challenge is New Beginnings and the sponsor is Bunny Zoe Crafts and the prize is a £10 gift certificate.

  I choose to do a new baby card for the theme, here is my card.

The card is A5 in size and is made from white card from Papermill. The patterned papers I have used are all from the Nana's Nursery Boy paper pack, the pale lilac paper is from my stash. I have then used ribbon, sentiment and plastic embellishments from my stash. I coloured the image with promarkers and then added diamond stickles to make it sparkle. I am sorry I don't have a list of colours I used as I coloured this image so long ago that I didn't make a note :( Also I don't know the artist, if you do please let me know so I can credit the artist. EDIT - I found the artist it is The Stamping Boutique and it can be found here Noahs ark
