Robbo Robot!

Good morning

Yesterday morning on the way to school Chloe announced it was her friend Lewis' birthday today and she asked if she could take a card in for him.  I offered to make one for him and asked her what his interests are and she said 'robots'.  Slight problem because I didn't have any robot images so after a quick look at my fav digi stamp stores I found this cute robot at Digistamp Boutique ... problem solved!

Allsorts #46 ~ No DP's

Good Morning

This week the lovely Debs has set the challenge and she has challenged us to create something without using any (ready-made) Design Papers. You could have a go at creating your own, keep it really simple and have none or, as I have done, some embossing.  The choice is yours!

As it's the first Saturday of the month we are sponsored by our regular monthly sponsor Digistamp Boutique.  One lucky winner will have £10 to spend online ~ you will definitely be spoilt for choice!

Allsorts #35 ~ Brown & Pink

Good Morning

This week at Allsorts it is Kirsten's turn to set the challenge and she has chosen a colour challenge of Brown & Pink. This is one of my favourite colour combos and meant I could use my favourite Basic Grey papers (Bittersweet). Kirsten is offering a fab prize this week of 5 Quickutz embossing dies.

Flowers ~ Brown (Prima), Pink (Petaloo) and Prima pearl

I am also entering this card for the DT Call at Just Cute Bears which is a new challenge blog dedicated to those of us who have a love for bears. Ever since I have been a little girl I have loved bears and this has now extended into my crafting because I have large collection of bear stamps! The DT call will close tomorrow (17th Jan) at 3 pm so if you would like to be considered for the DT you need to be quick.

It's raining here today so hopefully the snow will all finally disappear.  We are off to visit my mum shortly because it's her birthday today.  Mum has recently got into cardmaking so we have bought her a Cuttlebug as a joint present with my Nan.  I have also bought her a few extra crafting goodies and popped them in a giftbag (stamps, flowers, brads, Cuttlebug embossing folders).  Hope she likes her presents.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Allsorts Challenge Week 26 'Bring out your Bling'

Good Morning

It's Saturday again and time for another challenge at Allsorts. Thanks to everyone who joined in with Amanda's 'Wedding' Challenge. Don't forget to check to see if you were the winner of the Stampin Up Xmas Stamp or one of the Top 5.

This week Jules has set the challenge and she has chosen 'Bring out your Bling'.

We are being sponsored by Digistamp Boutique this week and Sally-Ann very kindly let the DT choose an image of their choice from the boutique. There are so many gorgeous images and I really was spoilt for choice. As my daughter's name is Chloe I decided to have the 'Chloe with Snowball' image.

Sorry about the quality of my photograph. I took about 20 photographs and this was the best one I could get. Think it might be because the Craftwork Cards paper is slightly shiny.

I am sure there will be lots of Bonfire Parties tonight and if you having/going to one hope you have a fab time but please remember to stay safe and follow the Firework Code.

Have a great weekend!
