Not a Christmas Card!!!!!!!

Now, don't faint but my card today isn't a Christmas card. I'm sure tomorrow's will be though as I have 2 special cards to share with you this week. I thought it was time I blogged this card which I sent to Emma Wood (Crafty Emma's Store) when Olivia was born. I wanted to use a different image from the baby ones I normally use so coloured this cute Buzzcraft fairy with Promarkers and Flexmarkers and added glitter to the wings. The papers are Tim Holtz. I went for a distressed look, adding lace, a pram charm, bow, flowers from Wild Orchid and Crafty Emma, punched leaves and heart buttons.

Blowing in the wind

This little Buzzcraft fairy looks like he is blowing very hard. I added glitter to the wings and dandelion head. The backing paper is Papermania capsule aqua, which I treated myself to this weekend along with a couple of other goodies. I love the vintage look of these papers. The border is Rose Garden punched with an MS punch. Flowers are Wild Orchid with punched fern leaves and I added some flower gems, pearls and a butterfly charm.

Crafts 4 Eternity GDT card

THIRD POST FOR TODAY. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR EARLIER POSTS AND UP FOR CANDY.

I was lucky enough to be chosen as a GDT member at Crafts 4 Eternity for the month of June and here is my first card. There is a gorgeous sketch to follow with the addition of a flourish and flowers.

The image is Buzzcraft, main papers are Kate Knight, flowers are Wild Orchid. I used my new MS PATP punches for this one again and my Sizzix swirl.

I hope you like my new blog header. I have been wanting to have a go at making myself a header rather than using one from one of the blog background sites. I finally got round to it tonight. It took me ages to make it but now that I have done I can play around with it to alter it in the future.

Thank You

Why oh why do some e-mails go into Spam? I checked my Spam folder on Monday and was astounded to find an e-mail inviting me to join the Winter Wonderland Design Team. When I picked myself up off the floor I immediately e-mailed my response, which was of course YES. The team currently have a DT call out so if you would like to join me as a WW newbie then you have until Saturday to mak a Christmas card for this week's challenge.

So here's a cute little card tonight to say a BIG THANK YOU to the lovely girls at Winter Wonderland for asking me to join them. Christmas cards are some of my faves to make so I now have a great excuse to get those snowflakes and Christmas papers out each week.

The little fairy is from Buzzcraft and I added some glitter to the wings. Papers are K&Co.
