Soggy Saturday......

also known as Sugar Button!!! These are just so cute Kathryn and perfect for little girls's cards. When I bought the kit I also bought the paper pad and rubber stamps. I'm so pleased I did though because I haven't even dared to dip into the kit properly, I keep trying to use it but I just put the lid down on the box. Will this feeling ever go away? lol

 

Both cards are made using the stamps and papers from Sugar Button as I said before (I keep wanting to call them Sugar Dumpling!! lol), the netted flower on the top card is made from ivory Spiders Web from Kanban and the ribbon on the bottom card is from Kanban too, everything else is from my stash. Oh and I added lots of Glamour Dust to the fairy on the bottom card, on her stars as well as her wings :).

I will be adding my card to a Card a Day Blogging and the following challenges, Allsorts Challenge which is Bring on the Bling, the Daring Cardmakers and their challenge is Twinkle Twinkle - to have at least one star on your card, Papertake Weekly who want to see Ribbons & Pearls, either of both - well I've got pearls on the top card and ribbon on the bottom one :).

Thank you for all of your wonderful comments, they are really appreciated.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. x

WOYWW

This is serious!

You have been warned.......this post is so serious that it has it's own sub-heading!!

I joined the new bloggy/Facebook challenge - a Card a Day blogging (with a difference - the difference being that it's not really a challenge more of a foot up the back side of like minded shirking bloggers :) It's really to encourage us to restart our daily creating and blogging and more importantly visiting the lovely people who leave us comments.)

I've got the creating off to a tee as you will see shortly, my problem is that I have trouble finding the time to blog what I've made therefore I don't leave my link. I need to get back into it properly and take 10 minutes after I have made my project to add it to the blog and to comment on those above me.....that's the theory anyway.

So now onto my workdesk (the really serious bit. If you are of a nervous disposition please look away now.

Yes folks, it's that time again, I'm making Christmas cards and how I find anything in this mess is beyond me but I actually know where everything is lol I really need to tidy up quickly though as I'm at the opticians this afternoon and have a lady coming to see me this evening about coming to make her Christmas cards, if I leave it like this she might just run a mile :)

Right, you've had a nosey at my room so now you need to call over to the blog of Mrs Dunnit and add your own.

Thanks for looking, back soon. xx

Funky Friday

Good morning and welcome to another Funky Friday. There has been plenty going on this week in Scruff's Corner, lots of cards made and blogger and Facebook problems. Oh and we have been kicked up the butt and have finally started the web site revamp so as you see, it's busy, busy,  busy! However, it does mean that I have actually caught up with the other girls on 
a Card a Day Blogging

I have last week's Funky Friday to show as well as the card I made for this week (which was actually made on Tuesday just in case time wasn't my friend again :)) Instead of making a card, I made some tags and I'm going to parcel them up in bags of 6 I think for the craft fayres. The backs of the tags are blank.

 And this week I succumbed and made a card :)

All of the papers and images (the gorgeous robot is from the Craft The Year Away cd) are from my Funky Hand scrap folder. The buttons are from my vast collection :)

Please don't forget to have a look at the Get Funky! challenge for this month. It runs until the 14th November and there is a prize of a download of your choice but you have to use a Funky Hand product to be in with a chance. If you don't own anything from Funky Hand then don't worry, every month Anice creates a freebie paper for you to use.

As I've used a load of snippets all week (go me!!) I'm going to scare the living daylights out of Di and sneak into the Snippet Challenge playground again :) xx

Thanks for looking :).

A Card a Day Blogging

I am so sorry to Kathy and everyone else who has signed up for a Card a Day Blogging over on Facebook. As everything, I started out with good intentions and it all went down hill from there!! I've made the cards every day, in fact, since I finished the stationery on Thursday I have made 22 cards of which 10 are going to the NEC on Thursday to help showcase the new Kanban Baby, Crafted by You.

I'm going to schedule posts for the rest of the week and then if I make any more cards this week I can edit the posts and add the piccies. Why didn't I think of doing this months ago? I shall add my last week's Funky Friday card to this weeks post.

So let's make a start :)

This card was made for the daughter of a very special friend who is having a baby next year, I'm really pleased for them all.

 

The image is by Pink Petticoat and all the papers are from my scrap box. Do you know, I'm sure someone is coming in during the night and filling my scrap folders up. The only new sheets I've used for a long time are Funky Hand and Kanban and yet the contents aren't reducing at all. My mum and I sat and made a load of cards a few weeks ago for the troops abroad (I think we made about 150 in total and all the papers came from my scraps too and still they didn't go down).

I also sent another wedding stationery sample out 

I've just had an email this evening from the bride and both her and her fiance love them.

Post number one.....check :)

a Card a Day Blogging

It seems yesterday might have been cheats day here in Scruff's Corner, I didn't manage to get my card done for the Facebook group a Card a Day Blogging but I did manage to get 50 wedding invitations made :) I hope they will count even though I didn't manage to blog them. I even took my photo for What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday but didn't get it up on line in time!!
My desk went from this

 to this :)

I've just got the reply cards to cut up and the order is finished.

Thanks for looking x
