To do and done

So after getting my craft room all tidied up
and cleared away Xmas stuff all into one place,
I thought I will have a wee look and see what the usual challenges are up to
and maybe get some inspiration for the cards I need for up coming Birthdays.

OH MAN!!! I am a little bit overwhelmed with how many I want to try
and how many I will get done!

I also need to get two image swap done, two wallet cards to pop them into.
I have a few Birthday cards to do.......
and two cards for a ribbon challenge I have entered.....

This is becoming a to do list.....

Here is what I have done in the last few days.....

First one is for Sketch Saturday #33
I love Brown and Blue together and I thought it was a bit plain at first
but I kinda like the simpleness.

This sketch from One Stop Craft Challenge
is going to be for my God Daughter's daughter
Brooke who is 2....man that makes me feel old!
It was to have buttons or brads on it.

Tilda is sitting on a 2 but i think I should have made it a bigger 2....ach well.
The Tilda stamp is fairly new to me, it was a gift from Natalie, which I haven't used much, she is ment to have wee holly leaves on her bunchies, but I trimmed them off.
I know she is holding a Christmas decoration....But she is so pretty!!!
The buttons were part of my Santa pressies and the stash is all the rest.
I love the daisy stamp on it, coloured with sukra.


The Penny Black Challenge is to use embossing which the pink background is.
I decided to use it to make the wallet for an image swap so that's why it has Trixi's name on it.


I think the image itself came from Natalie cheers babes!
It is made using the first sketch on Becky's new challenge blog Sketch and Stash Challenge
I didn't mean it to have so much pink on it, and the large flower was not the shade I wanted
but it was all I had. And it looks ok.

And last be no least.....at Tag your it they want you to show off your new Christmas goodies.
I got my new cuttle kids Penguin die, my hubby went to the Falklands almost 14 years ago.
We had not been married very long and he send me a penguin soft toy every month.....for 6 months. He came home two days before our first wedding anniversary!
So I made this for him!!

slice and a tag

So yesterday was my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary
and this was a inside slice of the HUGE cake
we made for desert for everyone!

I loved the checkered effect and everyone loved it!




In true party style we all went home with a bit
& only my nephew Martyn who is almost 16,
was the only one who managed a whole slice!!!
The rest of us only attempted a half slice.

Now over at Crafty Pad it is time already to
join us in our THIRD challenge!
Can you believe that no 3 already!

So this week, we are looking for you to use Faith in a project ...

~*~ All wrapped up with a bow ~*~

- add a bow somewhere on your creation.

Now I haven't done many tags,
in fact apart from the odd tag card & some simple xmas tags
I haven't done any tags as such! I don't know why cause,

I loved this !!

The dark brown card looks really cool with the
bronze stamped ink and dreen sukra pen.
And I have not used the flower soft on anything
apart from a card I made at card class...
But this I liked.

There is also a preview of the next lot of Faith stamps....go have a peek!
