News to share

I entered for a Design Team at Brown Sugar Challenge Bog and to my amazement I got picked.  I am a bit nervous as I never done anything like this and I don't want to mess it up.  This is way out of my comfort zone but I am looking forward to the challenge.

So if you have a few minutes run on over and check out their blog and have a go at some of the challenges.

The Ribbon Girls Colour Challenge

Happy Birthday - upbeat style

I thought I would enter this card for the colour challenge on The Ribbon Girl Blog using the colours green and white, run on over to see their blog and online store.

This card I made for my nephew's birthday.  Its made using some distress inks, ribbon, buttons.  I used background stamps from Creative Expressions - newsprint, bubble wrap, urban beats, urban life by Sam Poole and spellbinders labels 25.

Mother's Day

 Brown Sugar Design Team Call 

I thought I would try out for a design team call from brownsugarchallenge.blogspot.co.uk, the deadline in the 25th March.  This is a great blog to visit for challenges and ideas.

This is a picture of the card I made for my mum for Mother's Day, she just loved it and believe it or not it is still sitting on the mantle piece.

   

I folded a piece of cream card to the size of 5 ¾ x 7 ¼.  The red card is a piece of core color from coredinations and I embossed it with garden lattice and sanded it down using my sand it tool and I used my distress tool around the edges.   I cut another piece of cream card stock 4 x 61/4 and also die cut from decorative rectangles, stamped it with classic rose from stampendous, coloured it in and attached it to the cream card stock.  I embellished it with a piece of lace, a few paper flowers, adhesive pearls and pearl swirls.  I stamped a sentiment image onto kraft card stock and die cut it with lacey circles.

90th Birthday Card

I made this card for my Aunt who is 90 on her birthday in November.  I used spelbinders dies, Asian Motifs and flowers from www.wildorchidcrafts.com.  Paper is out of 6 x 6 pads which I got free with magazines, Prima Botanical collection and Webster's Pages petit designs, Western Romance and All About me, a few other bits and pieces from my stash.

Welcome ......

Welcome to my blog, before I put anything on here I would like to thank one little lady who help me with my blog name Nicky (Minxy).  Please bear with me, I am new to all this blogging business and I'm learning as I go.  Thanks for coming onto my blog and having a look. Xxx
