CELEBRATION CANDY

Hi Everyone

This is a sticky post - please scroll down for other posts.

Did any of you see The Hobby House on Create & Craft on Friday, 5 April 2013, where they showcased some of their absolutely gorgeous products including a Wee Toppers Card Making Kit that I had the privilege of making the cards for?

The card making kit sold out within 40 minutes!  Although I'm not surprised as you get lots of goodies in the kit and as always the quality of the products is just excellent.  You can find details of the kit HERE and the other items that were featured on the show HERE.

Well Hello Everyone Again!

This is my second post of the day.

It's Saturday again which means it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss and this week our challenge is "Embossed".

Our sponsor for the challenge is the very generous Heather's Hobbie Haven so if you want to be in with a chance to win a voucher to spend in their on line store then what are you waiting for?  As always make sure you check out what the lovely DT Girlies have made for your inspiration.

Here is my card:

I adore this sweet image - you can tell how much she loves and adores her precious teddy.

Now if you are wondering where the embossing is then take a good close look at the dark pink section - do you see it ;o) just a few little dots here and there.

Oh my look at the picture of the little roses - typical; when I want glitter to show up on my card it doesn't and when I want it to be subtle it ends up looking all clumpy like this ;o)  It looks much better in real life - honestly!

The recipe for the card is:

Stamp:  Mo Manning for Stamping Bella - Love Ya

Papers:  Bildmalarna - Welcome Collection and Welcome Baby Pink

Sentiment Die:  Whimsy - Slider 1

Sentiment Stamp:  Whimsy - Everyday Sliders 1

Roses:  Die-namics - Mini Rolled Rose

Leaves:  Poppystamps - Gentle Leaf

Hair:  E55 E53 E51 E50
