From all white to blue and white
My last card was all white now on to all blue for a boy.I couldn't wait to try out my new baby dies(pram and safety pins) and used my new papers from the Forever friends pad-New Arrivals.Just been to The Range this after-noon and bought a jar of buttons all pastel baby colours so used some of those and used my liquid pearls again(must get some more different colours-love them)and of course I made an upright Z-shaped card which i love and looks great CAS or with embellishment and just looks a little better than a square card,and ribbon from hobbycraft.OMG another card with no digi!

Okay I give in- Christmas in July it is !
Holly -Ann missed her last week at nursery because of the mumps-but with some new cream they dried up really quickly,and her nursery teacher told Tasha to bring her for a couple of hours on the last day to meet her new teacher and children as she goes into chool reception after summer.Well after waiting for 10mins at lunchtime Tasha asked the reception where she was ---only to be told she was staying hot dinners in the hall with the rest of the class,she only told the teacher her Mum had forgotten her packed lunch so the teacher paid for her to have a hot dinner,as her Mum walked past the hall she looked up and waved -then carried on eating!!!so ended up staying all day.
Last week I resisted all the Christmas in July challenges but this week almost every challenge is this --soooo I gave in and made one(and another male card) hopefully a CAS one so feel free to comment-good or bad.
I have used "In the Cold"my favourite winter image from Robyns Fetishcoloured with promarkers,soft snow,and glamour dust on papers -loose in stash and finally chalked some clouds-finished.

Camping in the dog house !
Monday morning again and hope you all had a glorious weekend too.Holly-Ann woke up this morning with chicken pox,only had three and two hours later had loads didn't realise they came up so quick.Holly is gutted as the last week at nursery was going to be spent in reception.OMG I also can't believe its almost a week since I last blogged -slapped wrist and I have a few cards in draft too.The new challenge at Tammy's Scrapin Corner and our sponsor is Eureka Stamps and I chose their image "Cat with Shades" because I thought of summer,THEN I realised the challenge was "Camping" and thought how on earth I could make a camping card -then a brainwave whilst looking through some craft mags for inspiration,I saw a card made with a kennel template sooo thought the cat could camp in the dog kennel simples I hope!I coloured the image with promarkers and glossy accents on sunglasses,used a tonic punch for the roof trim,dog letters from Tim Holtz papers,added ribbon and liquid pearls,paper craft mag freebie.

Tuesday and a new challenge.
Morning everyone,the new challenge this morning at TWISTED TUESDAYis "I want to see your folder"embossing folder that is -the challenge is use something beginning with "I"ink being the obvious,BUT I decided in my wisdom to go with iris folding and ink,now my bin is half full of folded strips of paper and I remembered why---I DO NOT DO IRIS FOLDING---LOL after I finished I realised I could not put embossing anywhere so took half the strips of and used black strips of embossed paper and inked a flourish for the balloon strings---THEN I decides the embossing wasn't really noticeable so decided to make another and as I was already late to post to challenge blog due to a late hospital appointment with O/H (for blood tests/ecg and he has to have a muscle biopsy)I was pushed for time(putting it mildly!!!)so I used the embossing paper as a background then an adorning square die in the centre with a flower made from old book pages and inked the edges with a rolled rose inside and done.
