Get Well soon card
It's challenge time at Die Cut Dreams again after me taking a short break. Our theme this week is to make a get well soon card. The challenge blog will be updated as soon as possible, we're having t internet problems at the moment so please hang with us whilst we get it sorted.
Anyhoo, here is my card:
I always think a bit of chocolate can work wonder so this fab new Zoe Loves Chocolate image from the Digi Stamp Boutique works for me - isn't she a cutie pie? I've shaded her with Copics (I'm selling my ProMarkers on a certain auction site at the mo) and then used the Satmpin' Up! white gel pen to add dots to her top and hair bow. Then a glitter gem in the middle as I felt the need to be very girlie when I made this one!
I printed the sentiment on the PC and all the card and scalloped trim are from the Love Story Scrap Kit by Stampin' Up! I daubed around the edge of the image in Pink Pirouette ink (yum) and also masked over a small heart which I then removed and added another gem, I think you can just see it.
Zoe is on special offer this month so get your mitts on her whilst she's brand spanking new! And please join in with our challenge at Die Cut Dreams too.

Stampin Up Last chance list
Aaargh! It's September already and that means that Stampin' Up! are having a clear out in anticipation of the new Idea Book and Catalogue in October.
The list shows all products that are retiring and is only valid whilst stocks last or September 30th. Order now to avoid disappointment! Oh my word.......some products have 50% OFF!
Please CLICK HERE to follow the link to view the list which is SEVEN pages long!!! Last year items did sell out so you might want to order quickly.
On another note, being a Demonstrator I have just seen a preview of the new catalogue and it's FABULOUS!!! Now I can't share with you what is in it, that's a surprise for later, but I can confirm that prices have increased a bit, so if there is something in the catalogue that is staying (i.e.) not on this list) but you like, it will be cheaper for you to buy it this month too!

You can email me, phone me or post your order, I will check availability of all items at time of ordering and update you straight away. With this in mind, it would be helpful if you could pick alternative items.

Double Design Team Post
Ooh eck how have I managed this? I normally plan my DT projects for Monday so that I get one on each blog, not this week! So I'm sorry but it's two for one today to save me doing two posts. I would but it's my wedding anniversary today and after a hard slog at a car boot sale this morning I have wine and a takeaway to look forward too with Hubby. We've made it to seven years without an itch!! Actually we've been together for 15 years now and married for seven of them. Anyway, getting on with it.....Let's start with Cupcake Craft Challenge being as I set the theme this week. It's to use a digi image or sentiment on your project. I made these thank you cards:
The patterned papers and floral image are both digis from Pink Petticoat. I couldn't make just one, never can with thank you cards!
I'm entering the challenge at Pollycraft with these as the theme is 'add a little nature'.
OK - now pretend you're reading a new post now............
This week at Die Cut Dreams our challenge is Soft Shades of Vintage! Now me and vintage don't always go so well together, but I'm getting more used to it (I think!) and came up with this:
I used the sweet image from CC Designs and shaded her with Copics and cut her out. The paper and ribbon are both K&Co I think. A few matching pearls to finish, feel they're necessary with vintage for some reason!
With this one I'm joining in with:

Thank you boy
Yesterday I had a fab time with my Dad and Step Mum. If you're reading thank you!!! I gave them a handful of thank you cards to take home with them to give out to family for birthday presents for Blake and other gifts the boys have been lucky enough to receive. This is one I made for Zac's cousin Alex because Alex always gives Zac some clothes or DVDs and he even gave him his Thomas the Tank Engine scooter!! So here's a thank you card for Alex:
I've used the Thank You boy image from the Digi Stamp Boutique and coloured him with ProMarkers and Copics. The papers are from my stash and I think are Doodlebug and the brads were lurking in a drawer somewhere too!
I love this image, there's a Thank You girl one available too. I'm joining in with:

WOYWW and magic paint
Wednesday again and time to share my mess and stash with Julia over at Stamping Ground - now known as the Queen of snoop! So here's my desk, still not cleared up from my last crafty session where I made some Christmas cards:
Hmm what else is going on - oooh my lovely friend Tracy treated me to a Cuttlebug folder on Saturday - there it is next to my tape gun, can't wait to use that! Thanks Tracy, such a fab surprise! Also an empty washing tablet box. Not sure what to do with it but something stopped me from chucking it in the recycling!
No pics of theboys again but I have to show you this photo I took yesterday...
Zac looked out of the window and said 'Mummy, Mummy - magic paint in the sky'. I think that's just so cute. Right hop over to Julia's blog and join in the snoop! I've a busy day ahead, my parents are driving down from Manchester and we're off out for lunch, just me and Blake as Zac is off to Hubby's parents for the day as usual on a Wednesday. My folks won't get here until lunch time so me and Blake are going to spend some quality time sorting through my soon to be retiring card Stampin' Up! card and ink pads ready for my sale on 4th September. If you're in Nottingham give me a shout and I'll send you an invite!
