Happy Birthday to Ewe.....

EDITED..... I'm so sorry to my team mates over at Crafty Ribbons Challenge for my post being late,Mr Blogger didn't publish it and I've only just noticed as I was doing my post for tomorrow which is also scheduled so fingers crossed....

We have a new challenge over at Crafty Ribbons Challenge this time my lovely team mate Carol is hosting and she would like to see....

CLEAN & SIMPLE.... 

For my card I've used the sweet "Happy Birthday to Ewe"  digi image from Pink Gem Designs I've reduced the image and then used it twice more across the front I've added a little bit of colour with my Promarkers and glittered the balloons  and layered it up onto some purple card from my stash......

The ribbon is saddle stitch grosgrain from Crafty Ribbons .......I've then just added 3 pearl gems to the top and bottom of the card....Very clean & simple for me....

Please checkout the rest of the teams gorgeous cards and we would love for you to join in with us....

Holiday Transport....

Yoooo Hooo look who has finally found time to make something, must admit it was lovely to sit and have some me time.... Unfortunately my Dad had a fall over the Jubilee weekend then my Mum has had a really nasty sickness bug and on top of that I'm still running around after my lovely Daughter who is doing her GCSE's only two more weeks and 4 exams to go,and my Hubby has gone on to working nights until after the Olympics oh my that has taken some getting use to having him around during the day so you can see what I've been up to and why my blog posts and visits have been non existent....

So here is my card...

This is a sample for Stamposaurus using one of their fabulous stamps called Campervan front view I've coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers.......The papers are from a pad but I've lost the cover I think it's one by Cosmo Cricket but not sure....

The Stars have been punched out with two Woodware punches and a glass gem placed in the middle....The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz pad and I've run it through a ribbler....The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons and is from the new Grosgrain Saddle Stitch range there are some fabulous colours to choose from...

It's lovely to be back posting on here here's hoping I'll have some more to show you over the next few days....

Have a lovely week...
