Race for life stamp

Debbie over at Crafty Pad has designed this fab stamp
to help support RACE FOR LIFE!

She is called June as some of the race's
will take part during June.

The stamp costs £3 & £1 for each stamp
will be donated to Race for life!
Which is FANTASTIC!

The banner is blank and the Race for life text
is separate so you could use this for a
Good Luck or Happy Birthday card.

She will be available as a pre order from
Monday 18th May
& shall be dispatched on the 25th May.

What a fab idea,
helping raise money for Cancer research
and crafting all at the same time!

Crafty Pad # 23 sketch.

Sunday again so soon.....
that means its Crafty Pad time!

This week we have a nice easy sketch:)
You may twist and turn it and add other embellis too if you wish. :)

Any entries using a Crafty Pad stamp will
have their name entered into the draw TWICE.:)

Any entries NOT USING a Crafty Pad stamp
will have their name entered into the draw ONCE. :)

The winner will get to choose a single stamp from The Crafty Pad. :) :)

June Doing the Race for Life stamp is exempt from the prize.

Us Dt girls have chosen Belinda this week.
I have turned the sketch around so
I could pop a wee tag in with a hidden message.

The papers are papermania and I used my
much neglected whisper pens this time.

The flower is punched from scraps
and the daisy border is also a crafty pad stamp.

Some changes on the DT team,
sadly saying goodbye to Dawn who
has done amazing DT pieces
and hello to Maxine.

in a box

If I have scheduled this properly

then you should be seeing
my MIL's 70th Birthday card
and we should be enjoying her
Surprise Birthday Party!

First of all the box it comes in....
as you know my in-laws call my MIL~ MOP

The happy birthday strips are paper
from my the local craft shop
that I do my card classes in.

The flower is stamped leaves put through
a crinkle machine thingy...
( what do you call it? )

Inside it is a folded card,
with another leaf flower.

I will be making these again.

I do like this card, but it is a bit floppy!


Since it is a special Birthday I have put a poem
on the inside of the box.

Here is the whole set.

I am entering it in the creative card crew's
challenge for a shaped card.

bits & pices

I have had a busy few days.
Got a few cards done, hope you don't
mind me posting them all at once.
I am entering several challenges with them too.

First one is a house mouse sketch card.
The papers are beautiful.
It was hard to cut the one with the text on it !
I used a glue pen to add some glamour dust
to the word love, it is going in the post
to some one special soon. x

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My pal Mairi has sadly lost her fantastic wee dog Ben
he was an important wee man to both Mairi
and her mum, so I made them matching cards.

I kept them simple and non fussy.
The black card has the same paw print stamped
on with versa mark.
I used silver embossing on one paw print only.

Inside I printed my message
which included this text.

It's hard when you loose a much loved
furry family member.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This card is made using Sammi's dove image
that she designed just for me for my Birthday!
How cool is that!!!

I am entering it in ABC challenge
who want it to be orderly.
So that means if you have one bit of ribbon
you must balance it with another one.
I am also entering it on A spoonful of sugar
who want a celebration card.
what better celebration than a marriage.

I love these pair of love birds!
I have layered them on black card
and put that on red paper I embossed.

My time to craft are looking for love & marriage
so thats just perfect for this card !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you know I am loving this flower stamp
very much just now, I am trying to make my
sister several cards with her fave Love is passage.

So I came up with this......
I stamped the flower using brown stazon,
coloured with distressing inks.
Used the same stayzon to stamp
the love is onto acetate.
Held it in place with brads.

The flowers are green vellum
with wee pearls in the centre.

I am entering it in Once stop challenge as effort
of a vintage card. Vintage is not my normal
at all, I am not sure it is vintage enough.

so that's me, a mixture of friendship, love,
sadness, and birthday wishes....

hope you are well.

is sleeping off a night shift.
Need to finish off something I started at class
last night and get another card finished.

But here is one I made earlier!

This image is another one of Sammi's new marriage images.
I love this beautiful flower display.
Stampin Up circular stamps to make a wee button.
Distressing inks and sukura pen to colour
with a wee sprinkle of glitter on the flowers.
The beautiful pink ribbon is from Poppicrafts.

Now for my brown eyed girl!
She has a toy that we use for playing fetch at her puppy class.
She is not ment to have it apart from at dog class
so she stays interested in it when we use it.
Guess who found it !!!

Guess who loves it!!
She keeps bringing it to me in exchange for a treat!


She does give it up,
but then takes it away
so she can bring it back again!


You are given this toy ,
even if you don't want it
or are busy!!!
