Some Bunny Loves you or a Skecth at The Crafty Pad

Afternoon folks! 

Forgive me for being late with this post :$ Seems Mr Blogger not so kindly decided to delete it inplace of posting it! Glad I doubled checked that it posted otherwise goodness know when I would have noticed!

Being Sunday, it is time for a new challenge at 

The Crafty Pad! 

This is week should be a fun one for you all to play along too!

#163 It is Some Bunny Loves You OR Sketch!

Yep, you have the choice of following the theme or you can follow the sketch AND if you do both (like I have done) you will get 3 chances into the prize draw!!!

This week I have been having a play with The Craft Pad Bunny Fun on Log  image!  I think these guys are sooo cute!   I also got a little creative and made a cute carrot treat holder filled with eggs for a nice gift too.  

If you would like to play along to the sketch this week

here it is! 

 Or you can just play along to theme if you would like, 

and show us some bunnies! 

This week our sponsor is ... 

The lovely Joanna Sheen!

A £10 voucher to spend in the online store.

 I hope you do drop by The Crafty Pad Challenge Blog and peak at all the DT work.  They have some delicious creations to share with you all.  And I look forward to you all joining us in the challenge this week :))

Thanks for dropping in on me and I hope you like what you see :)

***EDIT*** I have had a few comments regarding the carrot - It was cut using a Silhouette Cameo and this pattern is also from them (under the 3D items and it's called carrot box).  I did do a google and found heaps of carrot box tutorials and patterns out there that you can just print and cut for those that don't have a Silhouette machine.  I'm just somewhat lazy and perfectionist with cutting out if I can get the Silhouette to do it :$

Easter Wishes with Moving Along With The Times

Good morning all! 

Thursday again! and it is time for a new challenge with 

Moving Along With The Times!

This week it is the lovely Lisa's turn to choose the challenge and she has chosen a beauty for us this week with

Easter Wishes!

I had some stitching rainbow fun with this one this week and stepped out of my 'style' zone to try something different.  I loved having a play with some colors that normally would not rate on my radar and I love how my card turned out :)) Wanna see??? Here it is!

I also got to play with a new image called Cindy Ears from Digi My World! 

A very big thanks to

Digi My World  

for sponsoring the challenge this week and also giving the DT some images to play with!

For something a little more different for me I also stayed clear of the DP this week and instead, got my big shot and cuttle bug folder out.  This was a great card to use up lots of those scrap on as well so I ticked plenty of the boxes on my new years resolution of not letting dust settle and collect on my crafty goodies that seem to get forgotten and neglected.  

With Easter just around the corner why not take this opportunity and make a start on your Easter cards and come and join us over at 

Moving Along With The Times

Thanks for dropping into see me today :))

Spring into Spring with Crafty Ann's Challenge

Oh Thank goodness it is Friday!!!
It has been a long long week and I am so so so happy it is Friday and tomorrow is bringing me a sleep in! (well deserved after a week of 3 and 4 am starts! (not by my choice trust me)

It is also time for a new challenge with 

Crafty Ann's Challenge

This week is challenge 

#61 Spring into spring! 

We want to see spring or Easter themed creations this week.  That means flowers, fresh bright colors or your eggs and chicks :))

I could not resist having a play with Crafty Ann's new Host of Garden Daffodils and I mixed it up with Butterfly Sheet 1.

I am so in love with this DP that I did not want to cover it up with layers and layers.  It is actually from a paper pad book I brought ... Hmmm... that long ago I do not remember (so over a good year).  I could not resist having a play with my new flower soft 'peony' that I got from Joanna Sheen while *cough* browsing the net the other day (hmmm so that is how my new Spectrum Noir pens and jazzy new stuff all just arrived lol

I had a play with my new Stampin Up dazzling diamonds on the butterfly, yes I have been doing a little shopping of late :$  More than fair! Have not brought anything since I moved over to Perth and that is now 5 months so my crafty bank balance is rather healthy or I should say wise lol :)

Well, I can feel a card beginning in my bones so I'm going to love you and leave you here.
We do hope you will all take the challenge this week with us!
Be sure to pop by Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog 
and come and have a play with us too!

Special Lady Challenge @ Moving Along With The Times

Good Morning Folks! 

I have some super duper exciting news today! 

My DT application with

 Moving Along With the Times

was a success! 

*happy happy joy joy*

Today is my first card with the team and this week it is the lovely Pami's turn to pick the challenge and she has chosen ..... 

Special Lady
(So we would like to see a Card for Mother's Day or any special lady eg Auntie, Sister, Nan, Best Friend, etc, etc)

We have a fabby sponsor this week too! 

Stitchy Bear Stamps 

 The DT were lucky to get some images to play with and I had a play with Rose for Mum and this is what I managed to put together.  I was aiming for white on white, but alas as per normal for me, it needed some more color and out came the pink ink pad! lol 

For me this is a little clean and simple, but I like the result and it was nice to keep things minimal for once. The embossing folder I have had since forever but never used and the punch for the border is also another item in the craft room that should be brought out more often.  

This little honey is off to my sweet sister back over in Queensland for Mother's Day (ohh I miss her so much :'(  We have a little family joke that she is my kids other mummy so it seemed appropriate to sign the card from the kids :)    

Now, I have had the pleasure of having a peak at what the other girls have been up too and trust me! You DO NOT want to miss out on the inspiration they have lined up for you! So pop on over to the MAWTT Challenge blog HERE and play along with us this week :))

Mums the Word at The Crafty Pad

Super Sunday All!

Wow! Can you believe how fast this year is going! 

Anyway, onto the good stuff and why you are all here.

Time for a new challenge at 

The Crafty Pad Challenge! 

This week is an  easy peasy one for you all

Challenge  #161 - Mum's the word 

It can be a Mother's Day card, Birthday card, something for your Grandmother, so long as your creation has the word MUM or mother somewhere on it.

I took the opportunity of getting one of my the many mothers day pressies out of the way and made something extra special for my Mother In Law :)

Lots of photos this week again!
I am so in love with this and if it was in any other color mix I would be keeping it for ME!.  I will say though, I NEVER want to roll another ribbon rose in my lifetime!  But it was well worth the effort though I think :) 

This week I am using the hot new release in the shop today from

 The Crafty Pad Designs
Tea Set and Tea Set Sentiments
You can check yours out of the shop HERE

I colored my image today with Tombow Markers, added some great touches of bling to the card with red and black pearls a red and black feather and a posh pin.  The mum sentiment is a rub off from my stash that I brought over a year ago and still have not used so I thought is was about time.

The cup is full of fabric roses that I sewed and rolled while watching TV, added in some big red pearls and pearl wisps for a bit of flair and the gorgeous bird I picked up at Spotlight on an impulse buy, it falls into that saw it had to have it category :) I am sure you all know the one :P

 This weeks sponsor is

 Creative Craft World has very kindly offered a

 £5 voucher to spend in their shop

Anything But a card with Crafty Ann's Challenge

  Beautiful Friday morning all!

Can you believe it is time already for a new challenge with 

Crafty Ann’s Challenge Blog!

This fortnight we are playing one of my favorite challenges ...

Challenge #60 – Anything but a card!

I took the challenge and made ...

Wooden Peg Refrigerator Magnets!

 I think I got a little carried away with this challenge as I could not just stop at one lol 

instead I had great fun making 3 sets of these!

The moment I saw Crafty Ann’s Sweet Sage Scrapbook kit I fell in love with it and could not resist using the gorgeous papers and the flower embellishments for this project.  Keeping with my love for vintage, I added some ink distressing and spruced and bling-ed up the project with some ribbon, lace, pearls and gems.  These were so quick, easy and inexpensive to make that I could not stop at just one set.  I made a few for my stash of gifts to have on hand.  I am sure they will come in handy as little ‘Thank you’ gifts, last minute Birthday or Christmas stocking fillers.

By playing along with us this week you will be in the running to win  

2 digi images, 1 Backing paper collection and 1 pre-coloured sheet of your choice from the gorgeous Crafty Ann's!   

Ann, the girls and I would love to see your projects this week and have you inspire us all with your ideas. Why not use this challenge and make a start on some of you Christmas gifts for this year.  If you need some more inspiration drop on over to the Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog and peaksie at the DT creations this week.  As always the girls have done some amazing projects that I am sure will get your thinking caps on!

Thanks for dropping by to see me this week and I wish you all a crafty weekend!
