Hi everyone, 

I hope you have enjoyed your week.

My week started out  not that great.......I opened an email attachment that I shouldn't have, the computer shut down, I was so upset and angry with myself. I thought I had lost everything!  All those photos waiting to be scrapped......I back up my stuff but it had been a few weeks. A quick phone call to a friends husband who is a computer wiz , he assured me I hadn't lost it all. If you are wondering whether or not to open an email you are not sure about......Don't do it, its not worth it!

So as you can see I'm back and I look forward to visiting your blogs this week. 

Now onto this weeks challenge...........

Use the colours PURPLE, GREEN and BLACK on your card.

Some pretty papers , flowers and a little lace, all the things I love! I cut the bird cage using 'Straight from the Nest' cartridge and added lots of glitter to the bird.

Come join us for this weeks Birthday Sundaes challenge.

Thankyou so much to you all for leaving such wonderful comments.

Have a great weekend

The challenge this week is all about Ribbon.
We are sponsored by

"My Craft Spot"



Come join us...........You have the chance to win this stamp set.



And here is my card

I usually make a card and add the ribbon as an embellishment.......but this week was different! I was playing around trying to perfect my Bow tying, I made this double bow out of satin ribbon it turned out so well, I made my card to fit the Bow!

The blue lacy background was cut using the 'Mothers Day' cartridge. I cut a few extra flowers from 'George' for added dimension. Perfect pearls was used for the centre of the flowers.

So thats my simple card with one huge bow!

Come join us this week at Birthday Sundaes, we would love to see what you create with ribbon.

I'd also love to welcome Laurie from "Scraps by Sissy" to the Design Team..........this is her first week with us, its great to have her on the team:)

Enjoy your weekend

Hi everyone.............

I had a bit of fun with this weeks challenge at 'Birthday Sundaes'!

Create a Belated Birthday Card

Being on the Birthday Sundaes DT has really helped me to have a collection of cards.........before that I was always  late! I would usually get it in the post on the date it should arrive. At least then they knew I was thinking about them on their special day!!!!
Anyway..............  

This is the perfect challenge for me, so I had a little fun with it!

The Balloon and OMG are all off the 'Smiley Face' cartridge..........it has so many cute as images.

Come join us for a fun challenge

Enjoy your Sunday...........thanks for visiting

Birthday Sundaes # 26

Hello........For this weeks challenge at Birthday Sundaes we were asked to create a "Criss Cross" card. This is my first ever attempt at one.......it was a lot of fun to make, I think its a shape I will do more! The paper I used was covered in butterflies, so I decided to stick with that theme and cut a butterfly using the"Indie Art" cartridge. I inked the edges and covered it in lots of glitter.

And here's the card to write your sentiment!

If you would like to join us for this weeks challenge and have never made a Criss Cross card before , here is a link to a great tutorial.

This week at Birthday Sundaes we are sponsored by "Whimsie Doodles"

The design team had  three digital images  to choose from.......mine is called 'Hot Mama"

It was a fun image to colour..........I think thats because

 I feel my Birthday Cake would look like this if you put all the candles on it  !!!!

But as the sentiment says.........'the more Candles the bigger the Wish'.

That is positive thinking!

Come join us for this weeks challenge

Thanks for stopping by .........Hope you are having a fun weekend.

 See You Soon

Hi everyone, 

I have a fun card to show you today!

This week at Birthday Sundaes we have a photo inspiration challenge..........Look at these yummy cupcakes!

I loved the fluffy white icing and all those pretty coloured sprinkles.....
So this is what I came up with...............lots of buttons in different colours and shapes.

This cupcake is from 'Celebrations' cartridge.......With my Gypsy I welded two cupcake shapes together at the top. I used a paper crimper on the wrapper ( it does not show up that well in the photo) and a little embossing for my fluffy icing.
The design team have some great cards to show you pop over to Birthday Sundaes and have a peek.

Enjoy your weekend

Birthday Sundaes #19

Hi everyone.........its another Birthday Sundaes challenge!

This week is a "Inspiration Challenge" - Use the photo be inspired by the theme or the colors for your Birthday card!

Well, my favorite colour is BLUE .......and I love the swirly icing. So this is what I came up with.

How do you like my fabric rose? A little more recycling this week..........I didn't like a draw string on a denim skirt of mine, so I cut it off..........I think it looks much prettier as a rose! I sprayed it with heaps of glimmer mist, to give it a sparkle, it doesn't show up in the photo.

The frame is from Lacy Labels and the paper is Kaiser.

Next week on Birthday Sundaes we are having our first Blog Hop....... We are saying Good bye to some of the current Design Team and Welcoming our new members. Along the way some of us will be offering Blog Candy so I hope you can join us.

Have a fabulous week 

Bye 4 now
