A bit of a weird one but you know what they say...the customer is always right lol

Here is a card my mum asked for,for a friend she is a landlady of the local and a mad bingo lover, so my mum wanted to have a bingo themed card,
I used my glossy accents on the prima flowers and once it had dried it looked like this, nice hey.

1. Totallp papercrafts - stick a number on it (definately done that)
2. Ooh la la - scary stuff (my interpretation is some what different but my theme was you never would want to get in between a lady and her bingo winnings its scary stuff lol)
3. penny's - circles
4. Truly scrumptious - easel card

Here is my desk this morning, with stuff strewn everywhere from last night lol, ive been trying to get more christmas cards done.

with some of my beloved nesties an my bug all over my bed lol,

On my desk is a few projects im working on at the mo, i dont have a very big desk so its not too bad today, but sometimes there is loads on there.
also as usual the drawers are still open lol,

another ribbon card

Here is one of my cards i made as an experiment, you know how i am lol,I would like enter this card into a few challenges and they are....

1. The crafty pad - something for a friend
2. Allsorts - song title inspiration (nellie the elephant, i loved this when i was a kiddie)
3. Totally papercrafts - buttons and bows

Now these card are really easy to make but quite effective i think,

*recipe

• stitchy bear stamp digi
• stampin up sentiment
• pink mini buttons
• promarkers
• sakura
• glossy accents
• various ribbons from stash
• blue card
• 5x5 in card blank
• papers from freebies

I have definately got the buttons on there and the image has a bow lol so hope that counts?

also she is such a cute little elephant so the song is there too. and i made this for a friend so there you are lol.

i put some clear sakura stardust in the little bubbles and then put glossy accents in to give them that 3 dimensional look.

Doing this with your ribbons is a fab way to use up those fiddly bits you have left over, all you have to do is match them with some papers and voila.
