Love Is In The Air @ MAWTT

Happy Valentines Day to you all, please consider this post as my valentine's to everyone who didn't get one! That will be just me then!! Oh well I suppose there is still time LOL

I'm back today to spread a little L-O-V-E at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES

and the lovely Claire has given us the perfect theme for today

Love Is In The Air

I had a lot of fun making this little card

How cute is Tilda's little bottom? Though it does look like she has a bit of nappy rash maybe I was a bit heavy handed with the blush!  The stamp is from the new 2013 Love collection (I don't think I've used any of the 2012 Love collection I bought last year yet!!) 

The chipboard love is from a pack from WRM and as usual most of the flowers come from WOC 

The papers I printed out myself (had to get a new printer which turned into a nightmare as it wasn't compatible with my computer so then the whole thing had to be upgraded! You wouldn't believe how many hundreds of £'s this card cost me in the end!!!) Anyway back to the papers....they are Vintage Peddler from our fabulous new sponsor at MAWTT

I can't tell you how much I love these papers, they sand away for a distressed look perfectly and now (I have an all singing and dancing laser printer) I will be printing papers left right and centre! Still have a small forest's worth in my craft room to get through first.

Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details of the challenge and lots of scrummy inspiration from my team mates.

Thank you for visiting today

Love & Romance @ Diva's

Good Morning to my lovely friends, I hope you have all cleared a path to your doors for the postman tomorrow morning! LOL I'm not expecting any Valentines cards but it is a happy time of year and it's nice to get caught up in all the love and romance and that's just what we are doing over at

The papers are last years from MME and the red lace is from a pack by Marianne. Assorted die cuts including my new heart in the background from Memory Box and flowers from WOC

Red & Pink @ Oldie But Goodie

Good Morning Bloggers how are you all today?

 For some unknown reason (while I'm typing this) I feel quite chipper!! I'm sure it won't last lol

It's time for a new challenge at

OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

and little ole me is hosting this week.

I've kept it nice a simple for us amateurs and gone with a colour combo so it's

Red & Pink

Shouldn't be hard with all the love and romance in the air this month!!

This is what I came up with

I just love this cool kitty from this weeks sponsor

I coloured him with copics, cut him out and gave him some red Desire Wire whiskers and matted him on some fabby spotty card, the pink grid paper is from last years 'Yours Truly' pad from Echo Park.

Pop over to the main challenge blog for all the details of the challenge and some fabulous inspiration from my lovely teammies

Bee Mine @ MAWTT

Well I'm here with my DT post and to be honest I didn't think I was going to make this challenge! Never has a challenge given me as much trouble as this one (except for my next LCI card) I was already to throw in the towel and call it a day forever!.
Then I was visiting our GDT Leesa the other day she had made a mini card (check it out HERE) and I knew that was the answer to my problem! So off I zoomed to the Mistress of The Mini Makes, Mary J for a little more inspiration and I was saved!! Hallelujah!!

Without further ado its time for another challenge at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES

and my dear friend Debs is the hostess and she wants us to 

HAVE A HEART

So lets see some love in your creations

My very first mini card and I can assure you it will not be my last! 

I love Mini cards now! It even has an inside

This was so quick to make (if you don't count the 2 hours I was looking for the yellow spotty paper!) The little bee was kindly given to us to use by this weeks sponsor

 http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/

and the flowers are a MFT die with yellow brads in the centres.

Head over to the main MAWTT blog to check out all the details of this weeks challenge, last weeks winners, what you can win this week and some fabulous inspiration from my gorgeous Teammies.

Thanks for stopping by today
