Ethan's Banner

I made this Banner for my daughter to give to a friend of theirs a while ago for the birth of their son Ethan but never got a proper photo of it hanging on the wall - well here it is now in Ethan's bedroom.

The Banner was made mostly with my Cricut imagine and the Nursery tails cartridge and Lori's garden cartridge.

Thank you for passing by and looking and for any comments left.

Make it Girly or Anything Goes With a Whoopsi Daisy Image

This is my first post for a while as i haven't really been in the right frame of mind for crafting, i don't know why but every time i sit at my desk there is nothing there so i suppose i have lost my mojo!  I made this card just over a week ago for my spot as a Guest Designer on Whoopsi Daisy and it was the last thing i made..  I am hoping for my little crafting gene will return this week as i am not sure what to do with myself while waiting for it to return.  Anyway hope you can pop over to the challenge at   Whoopsi Daisy - Make it Girly or anything goes with a Whoopsi Daisy Image.

I used a Whoopsi Daisy image number 349 you can get it HERE along with many other fabulous digi images.

One for the Boys

This one was a bit of a challenge for me as I find men's and boys cards sooo hard.  I love the image it came from The Daisy and friends atChristmas CD so i just had to have a go and am really pleased with the outcome.

Image is from Whoopsi Daisy and friends at Christmas CD and you can get it Here
I am not sure of the name of the backing paper as it came from stash and i have had it ages.
The wooden  buttons and cord are from Stash
The fence die is Memory box
and he is coloured with Copics.
I have a few different textures on this one he is walking on a wooden stirring stick and the bow is string.

Quick card

I couldn't sleep last night so i sat up making flowers till about 3am.  I wanted to use my new folder which i bought as i thought it would be a good way to make a quick card - so it made sense to use one of my flowers a bit of twinkle and voila! I am really pleased with the flowers i made and i can see that i will be using the folder and flowers in many different ways.

                     Here are a few more flowers that i sat up and made last night - so relaxing to do.

The folder i used is by Crafts too called Dotty Frame
the flower was hand made
and then i spray glued it and then covered it with Crystal Glamour Dust
Ribbon from stash.
