Cute Card Thursday 'No DP'

This weeks challenge at CCT is to use no DP on your card. This is a tag I made a while ago and as I haven't had any crafting time for the past 2 weeks I thought I would use it for the challenge. The background has been created by stamping onto the tag with white acrylic paint and then after it is dry inking the tag with Distress Inks (Tim Holtz technique). I have stamped Prom Tilda + coloured her with Distress Inks.
Have a fab Thursday and Bank Holiday weekend. I finish work on Sat morning for 11 nights so hopefully I might get to make a few cards, although hubby and the kids are home as well so a few trips out are planned!!!

Stamps: Magnolia - Prom Tilda, Flourish

Cute Card Thursday 'Boys to Men'

This weeks challenge at Cute Card Thursday is to make a male card. I have used Captain Edwin with Sword which I got from Sir Stampalot and some more fabby Rusty Pickle papers. I have coloured Edwin with Copics and added a sentiment from High Hopes.
I haven't done any other crafting this week as on Saturday we went to the MOSI in Manchester to see the Da Vinci exhibition, it was really interesting and it even kept Grant and Alex amused for a few hours!
I have treated myself to some Hanglar stamps, I can't wait for them to arrive so I can make a card - hopefully today!
I am planning on putting some stamps on Ebay later and I'll leave a link on my blog if I get round to it, there is a mixture of Magnolias, High Hopes + Gorjuss Girls plus a few others.

I made the background paper myself using a Magnolia skull stamp and lots of black soot Distress Ink. The images have also been coloured with Distress Inks.

Just Magnolia 'Folds' Challenge

This weeks challenge at Just Magnolia is to have at least 2 folds on your card. I have made a step card and have used stamps from the Magnolia Wedding Collection which are available for pre order at Sir Stampalot. The images I have used are Tilda as Bride, Prom Edwin and a lamp post (not sure which collection this is from!!) and they have all been coloured with Distress Inks.
I managed to survive my 1st night shift and luckily it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! I was very tired though yesterday and spent a fair bit of the day snoozing!! We have been 10 pin bowling this morning and had a great time although my bowling skills are very limited.
I hope you are having a great Easter Sunday and haven't eaten too many eggs.Supplies

This weeks challenge at Cute Card Thursday is to make an Easter card. I have used images from the latest Magnolia Easter Collection. I have masked the images to create a little scene and coloured them with Distress Inks. The papers are also from Magnolia and I have added flowers from my stash.
Our guest DT member for April is my good friend Barbara from Hunnybunnycards so don't forget to pop over here and have a look at Barbara's blog, she makes gorgeous cards.
I have finished my 2 days induction and tomorrow is my first overnight shift which starts at 23.00 until 08.00 and then I also work Saturday and Sunday nights, so I might not around over the weekend!!!

Grant's Birthday Card

It was Grant's birthday on the 24th March and I just realised today that I haven't put his card on my blog so here it is!! I have used this fab Greetings Farm stamp and some Kaisercraft papers. The image is coloured with Distress Inks and I have left the rest of the card quite plain, as Grant is definitely a no fuss type of boy (guess I should say teenager now).
I still haven't used any of my goodies from the NEC as I was busy yesterday and Doug took me, Grant, Al and Kez out for a drive round Derbyshire today and then out to lunch - oatcakes with cheese, bacon and mushrooms, it was delicious!
Enjoy your evening!Supplies

Crafty Stash

Here's a couple piccies of the yummmy goodies which I got from the NEC yesterday, I think I went a bit mad on the Magnolias!!! The Martha Stewart punches were 2 for £23, so I just had to get a couple and the alphabet stamps were only £1.
We had a great day and it was lovely to look round all the stalls and see some demos, can't wait till the next one in November!
Have a great Friday.

Cute Card Thursday 'Dimensions'

This weeks challenge at Cute Card Thursday is to have some dimension on your card. I have used Devil Tilda and sat her on a heart from a previous collection. The fab sentiment is also from Magnolia. I have coloured the images with Distress Inks and added some glitter to Tilda's wings and horns. To finish the card I have added a doiley and some flowers.
Well I'm up early to get ready to head off to the NEC with a small list (bet you don't believe that Stella!!), although it is mainly Magnolia stamps on it! It will be all the better as I've just been offered a full time job (my crafty one was finishing at the end of April unfortunately) so I will be able to spend a few more pennies today and not have to worry about job hunting! I will be working the night shift at Sainsburys - a bit different from teaching card making etc. I've not worked nights before so if anyone has any advice please let me know. Many thanks.
Have a great Thursday!Supplies
