Just Because...

Hello Everyone,

Hope you've all had a good weekend! Mine was mostly a lazy one, with only a bit of productive time, but I enjoyed it thoroughly ;-) Crafty-wise, last week was great, since I won 2 challenges, and was chosen top 5 in another one! I have never been lucky enough to win anything through the random generator, so I was over the moon! One of the prizes was a digital paper kit for an album, and the other one was £10 to spend over at Bunny Zoe's Crafts! Happy days, crafty shopping for free is the best kind! 

This week, over at Divas by Design, the challenge is RUBBER STAMPS ONLY. I don't own a lot of rubber stamps (I will soon - just purchased a few, hee hee), and most of them are sentiments, hence I created a simple but cheerful "any occasion" card, and by the way used a whole lot of washi tape, which was super fun! 

Hope you like it:



A bit of flash here, but it shows the vivid colours better!

I am entering the card into the following challenges:
Love to Create - Make it sparkle with bling
A Gem of a challenge - Spots AND stripes
Runway inspired challenge - Diane von Furstenberg

Have a great week!

Dies and hearts

Good evening Everyone,

I have just noticed that for some reason my recent creation for the Divas by Design blog has not been posted here... I would have sworn that I wrote a post about it already... But hey, since it doesn't appear to be showing anywhere, I guess I'll put it here now... Better late than never, right? :-)

The card, even though made for Mother's Day, is kind of in the heart/Valentine's mood, so the timing is not the worst anyway. Lots of dies used for that one, including the base of the card! It was really fun to make, I must say!

Hope you like it:



I am entering the card into the following challenges:

Love to Create: Color Challenge - use red or pink
Cute Card Thursday - Clever Cutting
Paper Crafting Journey - Love is in the air
QKR Stampede - Sentiment only
The East Wind CB - Love - sorry, don't have any of your images yet, but hopefully soon I will :-)
Whimsy Stamps - Love is in the air

Hope you have a good Monday tomorrow! I am back to work after a week of staying at home...

My {heart} belongs to you...

Good morning Everyone,

Hope you've been doing fine in the last 3 weeks or so... I cannot believe it has been quiet here for such a long time again! :-( Is being sick any excuse? Let's say it is...! 

Today just a quick post to share with you my Valentine's Day creation I made for my Husband. Simple but with a powerful sentiment, or so I hope ;-) I have to say, I am quite proud of the sentiment, and judging by my Valentine's reaction - He liked it, too! 

What do you think?





 Here's also a short video from my Channel, where you can see the card better:
