Can't Sleep - let's blog!

So, it's 4:30 in the morning and you are wide awake.  What are you going to do?  I know, I'll go and enter a blog challenge.  What I should have done was turn over and ignored the urge to get up.  You just know I am going to regret this around mid afternoon.

Anyway, I'm up now and I've picked this week's challenge at The Male Room.  I've been watching odd bits of the winter Olympics but I'm not really a winter sports girl - although I've sat through some freezing cold cricket matches in my time.  I've gone for a more mainstream sport, something my son and husband enjoy rather than me.  You can't really call me a football fan - I support Derby County like my dad does.  Here's my card.  I hope you like it.


Thanks for reading.

Very Girly

This week's challenge at Sweet Stampin is to make a it 'Girly' so I couldn't resist.  I have a whole memory stick full of digis that would fit the bill - not to mention my other stamps.  So, what to choose?  In the end I figured that you can't really get more girly that Wryn at Tiddlyinks and last year I splashed out on a one of the colouring book downloads.  They are really fun to colour and brilliant value for money.  This one came from the Everyday Fun download.  It is so girly it had to be done.

I hope you like it.

I've been so Lucky

Well, I say it every time but I really must get better at this blogging lark.  I make so many cards but I'm terrible at photographing them.  Anyway, I couldn't resist blogging this one as I was so lucky as to win all the images in Sassy Cheryls January release on her facebook page.  I'm not sure where I was going with the colours on this card.  I chose the papers first, which is odd for me and yellow is not a 'go to' colour.  However, once I'd picked them I stuck with them and coloured the image...with very little yellow on it!  Anyhow, once I'd finished it I really loved how it turned out.  I added a few dot thingies and found a butterfly with dangly beads and flowers in the right greeny colour.  The butterfly was way too big so I pinched it's dangly bits and added them to the card.  I hope you like it.


I would like to enter this card into Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge, seeing as the papers came first.

Thanks for reading.
