Cards Galore challenge

Yet another challenge...... lol...I am doing well lately, 3 posts tonight!!
This one is for Cards Galore blog challenge is entitled "Butterflies" so anything
with Butterflies on with do...hence a birthday card I made for a friend of my
eldest daughter of whom I know well. (they are good friends to each other).

I used the new cdrom by Polkadoodles called "Candy Doodles collectors edition"
a revamp of the older version, with over 100 new images/items on the cdrom. I highly recommend
the new version, its a very versatile addition to any crafters collection.
A simple, but effective card:

Butterfly from Polkadoodles cdrom entitled
Candy Doodles Candy Doodles Collectors edition

The challenge was called "Love is in the Air"...
The Venitian Lofty image was stamped onto C&C super smooth decoupage paper, glued to a die cut heart circle from Spellbinders in cream paper, that was then mounted onto the matt&layered background papers, border paper ribbon and the pink crossgrain ribbon that I then tied a knot into it. Nitwitt hearts and patch, polkadoodles "congratulations" sentiment mounted with a dragonfly which I brought from an online shop.

An entry to a Blog Challenge by THAT CRAFT PLACE

Good evening folks: this is my entry to a Blog Challenge by
THAT CRAFT PLACE... entitled "Love is all around"

I love this stamp, its actually called "Circle of Love" hence why I
decided to make a circle card, cut from my Grande Spellbinders
circle and scalloped circle dies. I made the circle card too from
the cutting die (shown edged in "Celestial Blue" Flexmarker)

I have entered it into the following challenge:

Good Evening,  Just a quickie before I go to bed, its been a busy day today,
trying to find out why my printer is no longer recognised by this laptop....
I think Im going to have to download new drivers tomorrow from the main
website and keep trying. Its so frustrating though as Ive got some new
cdroms due anyday now and I want it working for then lol. Im eagerly
waiting to try them as they look soooo cute and fab images. Im not going to
tell you who/which cdroms they are, Im going to keep you waiting until I
upload the first few photos of cards made from them.
I also wanted to show you, the first card to be uploaded to my blog....

its a valentines Day card that I was asked to make for my eldest daughter from her husband....and she loves Tatty Ted. The card came out a treat and Im really pleased with it, as was her hubby when he called after work today to pick it up.....

My First Blog!!!!

Hiya all and welcome to my blog!!!  Im new to this "writing a blog" so please stay with me and be patient. 

Ive had another busy day yesterday, but fell asleep (due to my sleep apnea) but I did manage to start and finish a Valentines Card for my Son-in-Lasw to give to my eldest daughter, so atleast I know she will love it(its got Tatty Ted on it) lol
