Kite Flying
Good Morning Everyone,
I hope you have had a good weekend. I'm afraid I didn't get my lie in....the kids got up at the crack of dawn to a garden full of snow, so we spent most of the day outside. It rained on Saturday night so all the snow had disappeared by Sunday morning.
A lady in the village regularly asks me to make cards with kites on them, and I recently found this stamp. It's from Papermania and is called Kite Flying.
I've coloured it with my promarkers and paper pieced the kite.
The papers were a freebie in a magazine quite a while ago. I finished off with a bit of bling!
I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
Simon Says Stamp - Paper Piecing
Make it Monday - Linky Party
Allsorts Challenge - Masculine
Glitter n Sparkle - Male card
Thanks for visiting my little blog today and for all your comments and encouragement.

Just Wishing You...
Good Morning Everyone,
It's the weekend, this means the kids will be up at the crack of dawn when all week they have refused to get up and ready for school!!! Each morning they pull the duvets back over their heads and roll over!. I though this didn't happen until they hit the teenage years!!?
Any way I've scheduled this post just in case they decide to be kind to me and let me have a lie in.....:-)
I've used a Penny Black stamp called 'Just wishing you...'
I've coloured him with promarkers. I've absolutely no idea where the backing paper is from, which is a shame really as I'd love some more of it!!
I've used a Marianne Creatables fence die,Marianne Creatables Tree die, MB Star of Wonder, MB Modern Landscape Border die. I added a bit of glitter and a ribbon from my stash.
It's snowing here now (Friday night) and forecast to continue all night so I might be able to build a few more snowmen tomorrow! I hope you are safe and warm if you have snow.
I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
Penny Black Saturday Challenge - January Blues
Cupcake Craft - Make a scene
ABC Christmas Challenge - B for Bows (or Boys)
Here come the boys - Bingo (Blue, Free, Image)

We have a brand new challenge starting at Winter Wonderland today and this week the theme is ......
TRAVEL
This is my first Christmas card of 2013! I feel like I've cheated a bit on this card as I've used a die cut from Kanban.
All I had to do was add a couple of Marianne Creatables trees, a MB star and a bit of ribbon!
This week we are sponsored by J and C Creations with a £10 gift voucher for one lucky winner.
Our second sponsor this week is Crafty Ribbons
If you join our challenges every week, you'll have 51 cards by next Christmas!
Thanks for visiting my little blog today and for all your lovely comments.

As a little thank you to all of you who take the time to visit my little blog and have given me so much support and inspiration, I have a little candy to offer.

If you want to put me on your sidebar that would be lovely but you don't have to.
