Creative cottage food & drink DT card

Morning! Today sees the start of another new challenge over at the creative cottage challenge which today is food and drink and here is my card.



I have used papers from the something sweet kit and a little printable cupcake from the same kit available to buy here. I have ditressed my papers and added a little CC designs image of Kiki la Rue and a cupcake coloured with prismas and sparkled. My sentiment is SU, lace from stash, Mc Gill branch punch with flowers and pearl stems from wild orchid crafts.



Isn't she cute? I have also popped in a little piccy of my flowers too!



Don't forget you can pick up this months freebie kit from here the papers are so cute, I am using them in a future DT project too! This is such a cute mini kit what more can you ask for when it's free!



Thanks for coming by to have a looksie again, hugs to everyone Rebekah xx

Sketch sat meets cowgirl up

Evening everyone! I have been doing some DT work today which is why my post is late with my newest challenge card, but better late than never lol! I have followed the sketch over on sketch saturday and have used the recipe over on crafty angels which is to use 1 ribbon, 2 papers and 3 flowers (ok I cheated on the 3 flowers and put in a few more but how could I stop at just 3!!) But more excitedly this is my card for the first cowgirlup sunday challenge which is to make a spring or mothers day card (I have made spring as our mothers day is past in the UK)



I just love CJ's stamps so was v excited to know there was a new challenge blog dedicated to them! I have used cowgirlup garden farie for this card with papers fom nitwits and cardstock from SU. Flowers are wild orchid crafts as is lace ribbon. Butterflies punched with Xcut and purple gems from stash. Farie coloured with prismas and some sparkly stickles!



Thanks for coming by my blog again and leaving your lovely comments,hugs to everyone!! R xx

All that scraps weds challenge

Hello to everyone and thank you for taking the time to come by and visit my blog today! I have a birthday party to go to tomorrow so I have made this card for my friends 30th birthday. I have used the theme over on the all that scraps weekly weds challenge which is to use pink and brown, such a lushious combination I think!



I have used this adorable image from my swiss pixies spring stamp collection, coloured with prismas and a little stickles to her ribbon. I have used papers from nitwits these really are the most gorgeous digi papers and there are so many wonderful sets to choose from, highly recommended! My flowers and pearls are wild orchid crafts. Lace and adhesive pearls are from stash. I have used my new MS punch sent to me by my sister (thanks Sarah!) and sentiment stamp from SU vintage labels collection. Everything distressed with tattered rose holtz stylee!



Thanks so much for having a look and leaving your comments again! Hugs R xx

Truly scrumptious sketch

Evening again everyone and thanks loads for popping by my blog! This card I have made follows the sketch over on Truly scrumptious this wk which also has the hidden message theme which is optional where the sliding tag can hide your sentiment or message. I am also putting this into the sentimental sundays 1st challenge which is blooming marvellous, using blooms and a sentiment of course! They are having a DT call and giving away fabulous freebie digi sentiments so hop on over to check it out!



I have used this cute CC designs stamp from the swiss pixie spring range for my card coloured with prismas and a little stickles to her wings. My cardstock is lilac glitter (not as sparkly in the photo!) with papers from pink petticoat and stash. The lace, flowers and beads are wild orchid crafts and the setiment ticket pink gem designs.



This is the view with the little ticket tucked away under the picture. I had a hard time getting anything to stick to this glitter card stock though!



Thank you for all your lovely comments and for my fabbo followers! hugs to all R xx

A Late card :(

Thanks for coming by to look as always and for leaving your lovely comments and baring with me in all this PC disaster! Hugs to all xx

Happy birthday Caleb

Hiya everyone, yep my darling son was 3 today and haven't we had a busy and noisy day! All toys have some sort of loud space type noise ejecting from them apart from the lego but Caleb adds his own noise for that! Anyway I did make his cake, it isn't really up to my usual standards but I had to knock it together in less than 2 hours and he loved it so I guess that was the point!



And another view of Buzz lightyears ship and little green men (one of whom lost his head shortly after breakfast this morn when I dared to go to the toilet and leave Caleb to his own devices!



Calebs favourite toys of the day seemed to be his transformers (they have gone to bed with him ouch!) You would never believe he turned 3, all his toys are age 5 and up, I thought he would be still into bob the builder and cbeebies but it is sadly ben 10, Star wars and transformers now!



This is him ready to blow out his candles (the first time he blew them out mid song and got very upset that he hadnt got the timing right!) we blew them out prob 10-15 times after this!



And at last eating the cake, the best bit of course!



Thanks for letting me share! Hugs to all xx

I'm back hooray!

Hiya peeps! I'm sorry for my prolonged absence! But £35 later and a much better PC I think we can safely say I am back in blogging land! I had such high hopes for so many challenges this wk and missed loads of them ggrr! Anyway I am hoping to just possibly get this is time for the cupcake challenge which this wk is red and white. I also follwed ths sketch over on crazy for challenges but that challenge has now already passed alas!



I have used papers from pink petticoat with an adorable image and sentiment stamp from pink gem designs. This is Chloe with flowers. The pearls are from stash as is the flowers and brad.



Thanks so much for popping by and baring with me on my absence. I do have other cards which missed some challenges this wk but may yet fit into some this wk! Hugs to everyone and hope you are all well in blogging land! Rebekah xx
