2 cards....

Hi Everyone,

A few  friends are celebrating their Birthdays soon, so this week I have been having fun creating cards with my Cricut. I used 'Art Philosophy' cartridge to cut the circle shape card and the flowers. The design on the flowers was created with the coordinating stamp set. 

The first card I am linking up with this weeks "Shabby Tea Room" challenge.

Ring around the Rosie

Create a Round card....add Pink , Green,  flourish and flowers.

I used stamps from Paper Sweeties to create the cute Banner.

Such a pretty inspiration photo

Same card.......different colours

This week has gone so fast.......I still have so many things to do, I need it to slow down!!

Hope you are enjoying your week

So nice of you to visit

The Shabby Tea Room #158

Hello everyone,

"ANYTHING GOES" is the theme for this weeks challenge in The Shabby Tea Room.

Lenet is our creative host and she asks that you create a card or project in any theme you choose.

The design Team were given some fun digi papers and the cutest Easter basket template from 

"My Time Made Easy"

Here is what I have created....

I used crepe paper for the frill around the edges of the basket , a cute felt bunny and a little embossing on the sides of the basket. "Sweet Wishes" is from Paper Sweeties. tiny butterfly brad sits on the button.

Make sure you stop by the other design team members to see how different each of them have decorated their baskets........they are all so  so pretty!!

Sparkle

I love the gorgeous photo inspirations at 'The Shabby Tea Room'.

All week I have been looking at the photo with no ideas of what to do..........today I finally came up with something:)

The Challenge is 'Colour Me Pretty' - use White/Cream, Pink , Blue, plus flowers and a fabric element....which can be ribbon, lace, fabric, burlap etc.

My inspiration came from the hanging light with pretty flower shape lamp shades. I sprayed some smooch ink on the crinkle ribbon and lace to match the colours in the photo.

I cut the chandelier from 'Wall Décor and More' cartridge. Covered it in lots of Glitter and added some pretty flowers. The base of the flower is from 'Flower Shoppe'. The papers are Papermania Blue Berry Hill.

Wish this was my place!

Enjoy your weekend everyone.........thank you for stopping by,

Garden Party

Hello.........

Garden Party is the theme for this weeks challenge  at "The Shabby Tea Room".

And

I am so excited to be their guest designer this week.........what an Honour!

Look at this pretty picture for inspiration.

I liked it so much I decided to do my version of it with the Cricut!

'Picturesque' cartridge was used to cut the gate and branch and the flowers are from 'Flower Shoppe'.

The paper collection is 'Bonjour' by Kaiser..........it is a real favourite of mine.

I used Glossy Accents to highlight the bird and add dimension. The flowers have a sprinkling of Diamond Dust. 

 Have a fabulous week everyone...........

See You Soon

Follow your Heart............

'The Shabby Tea Room' challenge # 114 ........ Be inspired by the colours in this gorgeous photo and to create a Shape Card.

I decided to go with my favourite shape a HEART. 

I used 'Life's a Party' cricut cartridge to cut the scallop heart.

I wanted to create flowers similar to the ones in the  photo.......lots and lots of pretty petals.

So  I recycled some tissue paper, cutting lots of layers with a flower die. 

They look so soft and fluffy:) Underneath the crinkle ribbon and flowers is a lace doily........it is a little hard to make out in the photo. The sentiment is from stamping up and the embossing folder is from Sizzix.

 

I have a" Guest Design " spot at The Shabby Tea Room on Monday...........so excited:)

Have a fabulous weekend everyone

Thank you 4 stopping by, see you soon

It always has the most gorgeous inspirational photos, I just have to play along......sometimes I wish I could just re-create the photo! 

This week we need to add a rose to our creation.

Using "Flower Shoppe' cartridge I cut lots of little rolled flowers to make the roses.
