My final Guest DT card for Funky Hands

Hey there folks, sorry I have been so absent lately - life had been so hectic.  My son is getting over his car accident now, we've been looking at houses in the Lake District (so I'd love to think I'd be sending this to myself in the not too distant future!!), and yesterday we spent a wonderful day with my sister, Louise, and family and friends, remembering my brother-in-law, Neil, who died just over a year ago.  It was a great day and a wonderful tribute to Neil, who would have enjoyed every minute.  It was also my birthday on Friday and what better way to spend my day off  - visiting The Craft Barn and Crafts U Love to spend my birthday gifts!  AND, I am truly spoilt and very excited by the gift from my sister, tickets to see Paolo Nutini in concert on Tuesday night!!  I cannot wait!xx

This is my final card for my guest DT spot over at Funky Hands and can you tell how much I love these house images - this is Where the Fairies Live - No 2 Tree Stump Lane!  

I took the colour scheme from these gorgeous Marianne papers that I bought on my birthday trip, added a few flowers and some wooden lettering and I was done - I couldn't bring myself to cover up these yummy papers! 

A big thank you to Funky Hands for having me as a guest DT, I'm so glad I've got to know your fabby images!!

Back to work tomorrow, for a rest!!

Cup of Tea anyone?

This card is my third as guest DT for Funky Hands and what a great image this is!  So love this mug of tea image with its great little sentiment - you can find the digi image here at Funky Hands.   I took my colours from the Prima Introspection papers I chose to use.

I matted the image onto a Tim Holtz Distresssed Doiley On the Edge punch - cut twice so I got a whole doiley!

I cut the flowers with a series of EK Success flower punches, added some brads and some matching ribbon and there you have it.

I've got the day off today but am going to be mad busy - house viewings to arrange, hair cut. pedicure, trip to the dentist, and finish off a DT card for next week!  The only ugh thing there is the dentist!!

Catch up with you all soon!xxx

New Challenge at Passion for Promarkers - Yummy food

Today's card is for our new challenge starting today over at a Passion for Promarkers with a great theme of Yummy Food as chosen by our lovely  Loopy Lou.  I think I may have stretched the concept with my choice of coffee but I do love a Latte and often have one as an alternative to the chocolate cravings!!

This is also my second GDT card for Funky Hands, and as soon as I saw the digi of the coffee cup, I'm a Mug for You - Coffee Love, I knew I had to team it up with this gorgeous Saturated Canary image. The papers are from the Prima Introspection pad and the corregated strip is actually one of those bands to stop you burning your pinkies!

The little heart is a wooden one from Live and Love crafts and the frame is cut with a Fiskars corner/border combo.

Our sponsors for this challenge are Whiff of Joy with the lucky winner getting a stamp of their choice!

Don't forget to check out the rest of my fabby teammates's  cards here!

Funky Hand Digi Stamps!

Hi there - Happy May to you, of course it's rained all day here in London - welcome to Spring!

I've made today's card with a fab digi stamp from Funkyhand - I love the name - this is Where the Fairies Live, No 3 Stump Lane (there are other residences available too!).  Just click on the link to take you to the site.

I've made a New Home card , which the image is made for!  I've teamed it up with some My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline papers, a Spellbinders die set for the image and matting and the sentiment.  The flowers are a Cheery Lynn die - Sweet Williams, and the butterfly is a Marianne die. Oh and can you just make out the birds on a wire die-cut from Memory Box!

Just got to find someone who's moving now, to send it too!  Could be me!!

Nearly the extra-long weekend here in the UK - hooray!
