Fancy a bit of summer time

Hiya you lovely people lol

I dont know about you lot but our weather is as unpredictable as the buses lol

its been torrential rain most of the time but with little bouts of humid sunshine in the mix,

So with that in mind our theme over at Cardmadfairy's digi days is

......Summertime

-

I chose summertime colours for my easel card along with a butterfly and flowers design paper

but feel free to interpret the summertime theme as you wish as long as you use a digi image.

-

The papers are from one of the latest kate knight freebie packs and of course the fabulous inage is one of the Cardmadfairy's and priced at 99p is a bargain lol

I used a chipboard sentiment out of my stash no idea where it came from but ive had it a while lol

 To keep the easel propped up i used a chunky yellow button with silver elastic from stampin up, and some adhesive light green gems,

Id very much like to enter this card into the following challenges

1, Papertake - Anything goes

2, Cupcake - Bright as a button

3, Totally papercrafts - Can you digi it??

4, Fussy and fancy - Fancy folds

5, Dream valley - Things with wings

hope to see you over there with us xxx

It has been a few days

Good morning guys, well whats left of it!!!!!

Its been nearly a week since i last posted!!! wow lol i have been so busy making up orders and getting ready for our summer fayre at school organising my own stall and the whole day as if you may remember im on the ptfa and its busy busy busy lol,

-

Ive also just come back from the Boots staff shop and bought lots of top notch goods lol it was friends and family day and my lovely ang took me with her lol, i got loads and loads of fcuk and other top brands including gift sets and all for the measly sum of £54 lol probs worth nearly £200 if id have bought it from the shop!!!!!!

-

Any way back to craft lol one of my orders was for a little girl who loves anything to do with princesses and hello kitty, she was going to be 6 and loves girly pinks!!!! anyway i wanted to make something a bit special but didnt have hello kitty in my stash, so i googled copyright free images and printed this hello kitty princess off lol,

 i coloured her in with my promarkers and popped some glossy accents and stickles on her to give her that Bling factor,

the papers are from the dovecraft basics III they are lovely,

I got out my old sizzix alphabet dies and dusted them off, and popped her name on the card which i think always goes down well, added lots and lots of flowers, some pretty pins with thier caps tightly on lol and along with more stickles some dewdrop gems, some stampin up ribbon and voila lol,

If you cant tell in pic the whole easel card is A5 in size so a decent size as well.

I was really nervous wether her mummy would be pleased with it but she loved it!!!!! PHEW

Here is a close up of the image, it didnt print brilliantly but with the promarkers and glitters etc it looked ok when i had finished with it lol

Another close up of her glittered name, the font i think is called lipstick from the sizzix range, and that sentiment i had in my stash was a gift from god lol, and was perfect for the theme,

What do you think??? I wasnt 100% ok with it but the recipient loved it so now so do i lol.

Id love to enter the card into the following challenges please;

1.Incy wincy - Anything goes

Hubby has gone in to work for and extra day today so wont be home till gone 10pm as he commutes to warrington and we live in derbyshire, so ive had to think of a last min plan for me and the kids,

They are going to a fancy dress party later then for tea im taking them to georges chippy its a lovely walk from here past the local dam and up thru the fields.

Last night i let alex stay up with me till 9pm making jewellery lol he loved it so he will be tired out hopefully to go to bed on time tonight,

A bit of a change

Good morning to anyone who may be reading this lol, I thought id sneak a quick post in before my day turns hectic lol, the kids are playing with thier lego and daddy is having his lie inn, but will be up very soon,

ive got to fetch one of my best friends from the airport later as she has been lucky enough to get away from this rubbish weather lol, then off out tonight for a big note out, there is lots of us going including the men for a change,

-

Anyway here is the card i completed yesterday for a friend wha asked me to make an easel card for her friend who was turning 50, she wanted something bright and modern and this is what i made!!!!

what do you think??

i used 2 different paper packs that i recieved free from kate knight, and a fabulous lotv square, then got my lace border punch out and used the blue paper id used for the matting to add a diff colour to the papers,

then popped gem brads in the prima flowers for a bit of bling!!

Also if you pop here regularly you may know im crazy and i mean crazy for stardust stickles!!! yep thats on the flowers in the paper,

then a flower brad to hold the easel up and voila lol

Ive tried to show the glittered pape here but it shines so much more than this

 And again a side view
