Happy Birthday Thomas!

Hello.

James' nephew is one today. I made the card we are sending him to match the present we got him. We have bought him a Build-A-Bear, which is dressed in a Lightning McQueen t-shirt. I used this cute bear image from Beccy's Place and coloured the one in Lightning McQueen colours.

No Lines

Hello.

I mentioned in my last post that I had been browsing through some techniques. One that I have been meaning to try was no line stamping. For my first attempt at it I used this sweet image from The Greeting Farm. It is definitely one I will be trying again as I really like how she turned out.  

Last minute Halloween card

Hello.

In the last minute of Halloween I wanted to share this card I made last night. I didn't want to post it earlier as I didn't want it to get in the way of the last part of the challenge I've been doing all month. This image is one of the Halloweenie's by Delicious Doodles. These images are great for layering, which is what I have done on this card.

Here is a side view to show the different layers.

31 Day Card Challenge - Day 18

Hello.

Easel cards are the challenge for day 18 of the 31 Day Card Challenge. I thought it would be fun to have an image of an easel on my easel card, so I used this painting dragon from Doodle Dragon Studios. I chose one of my favourite sentiments to go with him, and to keep with the colour theme added a selection of different buttons.

31 Day Card Challenge - Day 3

Hello.

Primary colours is the third challenge of the 31 Day Card Challenge. I coloured Dragonlets and Me by Delicious Doodles in the three primary colours and backed her on a paper from the Life of the Party pad by Basic Grey. For the sentiment I chose one a 'magical' one to go with the dragons, it comes from the Black and Gold - Phrases stamps set in the Forever Friends range by Docrafts.

Cool!

Hello.

I've not been feeling too good over the past week. I had a hospital appointment last Wednesday and then caught a sickness bug over the weekend so I haven't had chance to make anything. Luckily I already had my brother's birthday card made, and had the post scheduled so my blog hasn't been too empty. I am feeling better now though and have managed to make something. I kept this card really simple and just used a digi stamp and one paper. The digi comes from Birds Cards, and I chose a paper from Basic Grey's 'Life of the Party' stack to back it.

Happy mail

Hello.

I'm a little behind with posting this. On Friday I received an awesome package in the mail. It was the blog candy I won from Kelly's blog a little while back. I had to wait all weekend before I could play with it though. So on Monday I made this card using lots of items from the package. The package contained a lot of firsts for me including my first Stampin! Up sets, my first Riley stamps and my first image from The Greeting Farm. I love everything that was sent to me, especially the card that she included with it. When I've finished this post I'll be off to play with my new goodies some more.

Here is a little peek at what was in the package.

I want to finish the post with a massive thank you to Kelly. Thank you for such a wonderful prize! It was well worth waiting for!
