Yummy, gorgeous, delicious but oh! so many calories!

Yes, like many folk after the Christmas delights I have returned to 

my on-going long term aim to loose weight.

I managed to make the card without any  side effects.

Please pop over to the blog to see the DT's inspiration. 

For My Card

White 6" square scallop edge card. 

All the papers and image are from a CD by Oh! La La

'The Shawn Jenkins Collection'

There are three layers of  cupcake papers, I then decoupaged

the 3 centre cupcakes. and the greeting.

A toning ribbon added from my stash.

Farm Yard Animals

The challenge this week at My Time To Craft (MTTC) is for Farm Yard Animals. Some may say I have cheated, for I suppose a cockeral being a bird, is not technically an animal, is it? It's a bird. Hey! ho! My apologies to any who object to my Farm Yard Animal. The thing is I just love this image from The Shawn Jenkins Collection by Oh La La CD's he is so regal and colourful. The additional flowers I made with a die, adding a few pearl stones. Please pop over to the blog to see the rest of the Design Team's contributions for the Farm Yard. 

#46 Christmas Candy

Here we are at the beginning of another month, it is November, how did that happen? For the challenge for the month at Sparkles Christmas Challenges we would like to see some Christmas Candy. Our US friends make more of the striped candy stick than we in the UK so it's nice to share our various traditions. Please pop over to see the DT projects which I am sure will please and inspire. For my card, I used a CD from Oh La La Creations called The Shawn Jenkins Collection. It's a simple matting and layering card, but nowadays with the cost of postage for cards with depth, it pays to have some flat cards. The bow is made from a template I bought at a craft event. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your Christmas Candy on the blog. Have fun. 

Once again we would like to say a huge thank you to our generous sponsor

J is for Jingle Bells

At  Alphabet Challenges we are now letter J, which is to be Jingle Bells. It doesn't have to be for Christmas. Bells are rung for many other occasions during the year. I am saying this and yet, yes, I went for the obvious.
I have only recently got the Shawn Jenkins Collection CD from Ooh! La! La! Creations. Once I saw this iamge it was a no brainer to be making a card for the challenge. The background paper is from the same disc. I used a Kraft card rather than a white one. The ribbon tied into a bow to decorate along with  a few card candi. I am looking forward to visiting you over the next few weeks. I hope you can continue to enjoy the summer we are experiencing in UK at present.
