No, I love you smore!

I'm poorly. Nose dripping, head banging, body aching poorly. It sucks. I am using all the over the counter medicines i can and during the "drug highs" as i like to call them i am trying to get a bit of crafting done :)

So, Cosmo Cricket. It's a bit of a new one on me but i absolutely adore what i've seen so far! I saw some of their Mr Campy collection on Dannis Doodles a while ago and have been looking for the collection ever since! I broke down and asked the wonderful sponsors over on UKS and within minutes 3 Jolly Scrappers had come to my rescue, yey.

The reason I wanted it was to make a card for a couple of my DB's family friends who were over from accross the pond recently. They told me of the wonder of Smores and so when i saw these papers i couldn't resist!

The images are Cosmo Cricket Mr Campy (yey) as is the wood background. The brown base is from a selection i have which i think is Papermania but i'm not 100% sure. The ribbon is from my stash and the "stitching" is by Kelly Panacci.

More paracetamol and tea needed....

We've gone all fruity...

Well an apple a day and all that, te he! My blog has been treated to a "Blog in a Box" by Zoe Pearn available over at Sweet Shoppe Designs. I like it.

And, I even have something to share.



This is a commision for a very proud grandmother's, grandson's first birthday - if that makes sense!

I used an image i found online as a basis for the cutting template. I had intended just to trace it in Robomaster but the image wasn't clear enough so i ended up creating it from scratch using lots of rounded rectangles! Then Katy Pertiet "Seeing Stars" papers from Designer Digitals for the train and Pink Petticoat Ice Cream Swirls in Pistachio for the ground. A little hand stitching , some buttons and felt and voila!

Am so so pleased with this one, made it a special box and everything.

We are sailing...

Just a quick card that I made for my mum's friend's little boy.

All pink petticoat papers, and using one of Liz's designs as inspiration and the robo for cutting.

I {heart} cupcakes...

It's true. I really do. Ask anyone. Cooking them, eating them, icing them, eating the icing... the list goes on. This week i've made three batches of cupcakes. A mega batch which went off to work (i am starting to think the people i work with get spoilt - i seem to be forever baking things and taking them in... i should either stop, or start charging them!) a smaller batch half of which went to the ladies who do my nails every few weeks and half of which went into my families and my bellies. The last batch was a little less edible, but just as pretty!




And i made an identical one, only for a 21st birthday. I was so pleased with them! I used a template from UKS which i downloaded ages ago for the robo to make the basics. The pink spotty paper is a digital download from a range by Danni Mogstad called Sweet Cupcake and the "corregated" card is another digital one, this time by Peppermint Creative called Recycling bin.

Some stickles, bling and a sewn bow/button combo and another sweet cupcake finished.

Another challenge to me...

Well this is my entry for the September UKS cardmaking challenge which was to feature a card using fruit or veg, which was fun!


The background is Pink Petticoats "Kraft Card", some making memories lettering and i did the pears on the Robo, again using Pink Petticoat papers, this time from the "Washed Out" collection. I copied a design for the pears but i can't remember which range they were from....

Happy Anniversary...

This is a happy anniversary card that i made for my inlaws, sorry about the dreadful picture, but i'm sure that you get the idea!

Background is Pink Petticoat "Kraft Card" and all the coloured bits are pink petticoat as well... i used the robo to cut the birds and the heart out with and they are both traced from images from the K Hadfield Love Bird Doodles collection.

From there a bit of bish bash bosh, some lettering - eek i can't remember who it's made by but i can find out if anyone desperately wants to know and i had myself a card i was very pleased with!

You didn't think you could get rid of me that easily did you....

Te he, I'm back! I hope.... i did say that i was a fadaholic and i wasn't joking so much! Anyway, i haven't stopped crafting and I've been taking pictures of as much as i could before it went off and found new homes and I'll do my best to actually post some of it! lol.

Anyway, for tonight i have a lovely "Sweeeeeeeeeet" cupcake card that has gone to a new home with one of my mummy's friends.

I'll be honest on this one, I've no idea what i used, i made it sooo long ago! I think the background is a pink petticoat washed out, but not sure about the rest, probably bits and bobs....

Well, my aim is to be back tomorrow as I've got lots of lovely things to share!
