Evening Everyone!

Hope you've all had a good day, I had to take today off as the heater in my kitchen is broken, & having it working really comes in handy for drying clothes in the winter, keeps the kitchen lovely & warm & stuff dries much quicker! He came about 4pm - glad I waited in ALL day then lol!

Whilst I waited I deceided I would make a card t join in with a challenge, this one actually fits into two challenges so I didn't do too bad now did I??

First challenge is Three Clovers - this week it's a sketch to follow, I LOVE this sketch & will use again & again!! Next up is Color Create their colors this fortnight are blue, silver & white!

All card stock is from the paper mill, cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder, snowflake charm from the works, Max & Snowman stamped in memento & colored with pro markers & Cuttlebug snowflake cut & glittered, sentiment printed from PC.

I am thinking I LOVE using charms & may get more as I got a pack of 6 from the works for only £1, the chain was from Fenwicks at £1.50 a metre & jump rings at 99p - I think it was all quite good prices or am I wrong??

There's red, white & blue everywhere......

.............. and I LOVE IT!

As it's coming up to the 4th of July lots of challenges are having this theme & I'm pleased as these are some of my favourite colors and as my fave place is also the USA.

I used Edwin for a change and doesn't he just look soooooooo darn cute!!

I am entering this card into the ABC challenge where U is for United States. Three Clovers has the theme of red, white and blue and Charisma Cardz is buttons.

My card blank is craft tonic, card stock Core'dinations, Magnolia Edwin colored with Pro Markers, paper DCWV, buttons from my stash & greeting printed from my PC.

I am very upset today as yesterday I went to order the Magnolia Summer Club only to find I've missed it, I am sooooooooo upset as I've had a wee sneaky peak at them & they are so adorable.

Where are you from???

I'm from England!

Over at Three Clovers the theme is to make card with the theme of "where are you from?" at first I was really stuck 'cos I thought of Newcastle and the Angel of the North, but how do you make Tilda look like a big rusty sculpture?!?!?! Then I remembered my Tilda with rain cloud, and as its nearly always raining here I thought it would fit well, my first thought was to go with a Union Jack (I prefer British to English) but that was gonna be too much like hard work so I went for St Georges' colors Red & White & tried to make the background to look like the flag, but not too much like a flag.

This card also fit in the Simon Says theme of Happy Mail.

Card blank from my stash, card stock from paper mill, white card has been embossed with cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, Magnolia Tilda & rain cloud stamped in memento & colored with pro markers & stickles & ribbon from my stash.

A few challenges all thrown in together!

Well hello there!

I am entering this card for a few challenges this week (am I being too cheeky??? lol)

1) Clare's Sketch Challenge over at Do Crafts, I try to join in with this every week but I mostly forget as I do with other challenges so I have now written now a list in a notebook so I can hopefully remember!

2) Cute Card Thursday have a theme - create a card to make someones day, I think this 'lil cutie would make ANYONES day as she's sooo adorable!

3) Three Clovers - theme of making a card for Mam or sister with an extra of lace or ribbon. I didn't put Mam on the front tho as we have already had Mother's day here in the UK & my Mam's birthday isn't until Dec so I will definetly change my mind before then & make another. I don't have a sister (well none that I know of) so this is for someones Mam or sister & I added a lil ribbon so phew I got the extra in aswell!

Card blank is from my stash, pink & green card stock from the Paper Mill which have been embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder, "Best Wishes" papermania stamp, ribbon from my stash as is the stripy paper, Tilda & Watering can by Magnolia & colored with Pro Markers.
