Friday Sketchers - Mother's Day!

Good Morning!
This week I received 4 orders of Mother's Day Cards, A bit daunting at first seeing I had to make 4 different cards for the same occassion but after a bit of thinking I decided to use the sketch over at FRIDAY SKETCHERS and some Hanglar Stamped Images my good friend Domi sent me!
I have fallen in love with these Images so hopefully she will send me some more! hehe

I mirrored the sketch round on the last 2 cards to make them more different to the others.
I don't want to give these cards away now but I guess I'm going to have to :( lol
Here is my favourite of them:
RECIPE:
* Hanglar Stamped Image
* Sentiment wrote on PC
* Bo Bunny Papers
* Cuttlebug 'Spots n Dots' Embossing Folder
* Prima Flowers
* Robin's Nest Dew Drops - Plumeria

These are the other 3 I have made ...

I would also like to enter this into:

Hope your all having a good weekend, Happy Crafting! xxx

PBSC - Easel Card!

Good Morning!
Well these last few days haven't exactly been how I had planned! I had received another card order for some Mother's Day cards and told the person I would get them done by Thursday Night. However, In the early hours of Thursday Morning I managed to get a lovely sickness bug which had me laid in bed all day with a bucket for my friend not being able to move without getting motion sickness! lol
I've only been starting to feel better today so I can't see them getting their cards until Monday now!

Anyways back to something I have made thankfully earlier in the week is my Design Team Card for PBSC.
This week we want you to make an EASEL CARD.
We are also welcoming our Guest Designer for March today, Nadine.
Her work is beautiful!

Now I have only made a few of these so getting the sizing and photos right are still a bit of a hassle for me lol

RECIPE:
* PB Stamps
* MME Papers
* Cuttlebug 'Spots n Dots' Embossing Folder
* Lace & Flowers from Stash
* Red Dew Drops from The Hobby House
* PM Pearl Brads

Thanks for Looking, Hope you all have a good weekend, I'm going to get some well needed crafting done! xxx

Everybody Art - Sketch!

Good Morning!
Thank you for all your comments yesterday on my Craft Room and my dog, they are very much appreciated!

This week at EVERYBODY ART we have a Sketch for you all!
I had been asked to make a Thank You card for someone so I thought this sketch would fit it perfectly!
I moved the flowers to the opposite side of the card as they wouldn't of fitted well on the left due to the flower the hedgehog is holding and also it would be covering a nice part of the patterned paper! lol


RECIPE:
* PB Stamped Image 'Lazy Days'
* Sentiment Tag from Clevercut
* Scalloped and Normal Circular Nesties
* Bo Bunny Papers
* Hobbycraft Ribbon
* Prima Flowers
* PM Gem Brads
* Clear Dew Drops from The Hobby House

My Craft Room....

Good Morning!
Yesterday evening I was on the DoCrafts Forum on a thread showing each person's craft rooms!
So I thought I would share with you some pics of mine today.
I craft in my bedroom so you might be able to guess it's slowly taking over. ... Il be getting rid of the bed and sleeping in a corner next! haha

Of course I couldn't forget about my little crafty Helper so I have also taken a photo of her for you all :)
Okay here we go ....

This is my desk where I craft, it used to be a wardrobe but I took the doors off and fitted some shelves in!
As you can see I have my PC, Copic Markers (In the box next to the lamp), Embellishments, Ribbons, Cuttlebug, Cardstock and some Christmassy things on the top shelf in this part.

I love these shelves here, a perfect way to show my Prima Flowers and cards I have received!
(Ignore the DVD's lol)

This is my Stamp Unit I got my dad to make, It holds most of my Wooden stamps but trust me there are a lot more stamps hidden in them boxes than you can see! lol

This shelf is where I keep the things I don't really use and my ribbons that are on the rolls beneath.

Here is the rest of my Christmas things on the 2nd shelf and my everyday Papers on the top.


Lastly, Here is Millie (Although I call her her Pumpkin) It was quite hard to get this photo as she kept sticking her tongue out! lol

Please see my post below as It is my first Acetate card I made as part of DT Work for a Company.
I may be back later as Im in a crafty mood! lol xxx
