Yoo hoo! I'm still alive! Sorry I haven't been around lately. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have made 7 cards (record!) and then what happened? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A power cut blew up the router and bang goes the Internet!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was having serious withdrawal symptoms from not having the Internet for so long!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway I'm dropping by to show you one of the many cards I have managed to make during the summer holidays.</div>

Hello! Hope you're all well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back with another 'fancy' card lol. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the ladies at work saw the card I made for Mams birthday <a href="http://ladybirddreams.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/feeling-all-springy.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and asked for a 'special one like it' for a 50th birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3fC5n-GJ28DyR4fbwEMGdbQzwwnLel-78IHigKSoEVYt9WWkddiEu7w5kMUfViR_p-GHXfephtgjh0gpNxu6BRdu8OzvPW9psDDOQ4Ppn_PnJuNOaqnXnAF8BGmE5bqPoTvfU96CgcF-y/s1075/Spring+Bringer+whole.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3fC5n-GJ28DyR4fbwEMGdbQzwwnLel-78IHigKSoEVYt9WWkddiEu7w5kMUfViR_p-GHXfephtgjh0gpNxu6BRdu8OzvPW9psDDOQ4Ppn_PnJuNOaqnXnAF8BGmE5bqPoTvfU96CgcF-y/s320/Spring+Bringer+whole.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I printed off <a href="http://www.weestamps.com/?page_id=27" target="_blank">Wee Spring Bringer</a> and decided to treat myself to some new digital papers from Nitwits. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is coloured with Promarker and Flexmarkers to match the gorgeous <a href="http://www.nitwitcollections.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1224" target="_blank">Romance and Roses papers</a> using these colours:</div>

I can't believe how many flowers I used! I just seemed to be pilling them on!! Lol.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't want the 50 to be huge because I don't know the recipient </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and how pleased they are that they are turning that age so </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I know a few silly folk that are embarrassed that they are turning 50 next year!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used two small number peel offs on some card candi.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A side view. </div>

I was inspired by <a href="http://bevscrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/spring-bringer-wee-stamps.html?m=0" target="_blank">THIS</a> gorgeous card to put something behind the image. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Well you could knock me down with a feather! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finally have a card for the LIM challenge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it's on time!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This card came together so quickly </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and exactly how I had pictured it in my head.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That never happens to me!! Lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The theme this week is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/week-119-one-layer.html" target="_blank">One Layer - Coloured Card Blank</a></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I immediately found a lavender card blank and dug out an old </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stampendous butterfly stamp that Ive had for years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it was one of the first stamps I bought.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped it in PTI Plum Pudding ink and used various shades of purple Promarkers </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to colour the flowers and tint the wings. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It looked a bit lifeless so I used some silver Liquid Pearls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope the pearls are ok!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know one layer is supposed to have minimal embellishments! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I was digging I found another butterfly stamp that is quite similar </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and made a matching tag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So there you have it! An on time challenge card! Lol.</div>

Ive come to the conclusion that I'm not going to be able to enter </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my cards/crafts into specific challenges anymore :( </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because the life I lead is just too darn busy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This will be the third card in the last month that Ive made and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
missed the challenge deadline :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I suppose this is something I'm just gonna have to come to terms with!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cos I can't see it slowing down anytime soon lol!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/week-116-case-it.html" target="_blank"> Less is More challenge to CASE either Jen's or Chrissie's card.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I choose <a href="http://thetinybluebutterfly.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/pool-party-meets-crumb-cake.html" target="_blank">Jen's</a> as it reminded me of the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

A bit of a side view. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a super quick post to show you my make for day 1 of the <a href="http://www.onlinecardclasses.com/" target="_blank">Clean and Simple Cardmaking 2 online class</a>. I am loving this class btw!! I have never taken an online class before and I am really enjoying it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the topic was Craftmanship and our homework was to follow one of the given sketches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I followed Kristina's sketch and must say I am quite pleased with the result!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kristina used a stencil and a mist spray to create the background for her card so I gave it a go and used a stencil for the first time! Its very shimmery so I had trouble taking photographs but hopefully you can see a slight shimmer.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The shimmer can be seen better here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No idea why it turned out all white! I certainly didn't intend it to be like this!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there you have it! I have an 'attempt' for Day 2 but that will have to wait till later as I must go get ready for school!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A late Merry Christmas to you all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Mine was spent with the family at my Aunts house who *quoting my 83 year old Gran* had been flapping about the turkey all morning he he he! We all ate far too much but had a wonderful day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well I just about managed to make enough Christmas cards! I got totally sick after the third one lol so I'm quite pleased to be seeing non-Christmas cards popping up in my blog reader :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I thought I would share a few I made using my new Lawn Fawn stamps and have included a haul video I made of my Lawn Fawn splurge I had a few weeks ago. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This card was made using Lawn Fawn's Sweet Christmas set. I stamped each Gingerbread person and added the little details such as the bows, buttons and hearts etc. I then coloured them using PMs, cut them out and popped them on some foam pads. the sentiment is also from the set. I then decided some bling was needed and added tiny little gems to each Gingerbread person.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This took some doing lol as there is only one mini Gingerbread person in the set so it took some lining up. Again coloured with PMs. I added the button details to add interest and coated the sweets in stickles to make them look sugary.</span></div>

The challenge over at <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/one-layer-week-97.html" target="_blank">Less is More</a> this week totally inspired me which is really what I need right now! However I was inspired to make more baby cards rather than the Christmas cards I desperately need lol oh well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the rattle and sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Plus One set and the heart from their Silly Valentine collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKfaBKLwRYCWwbgrwqZGYciTDABcI83w6wCf45BDXR1cFbLbvuVBGrneWZJAtY47HpPsibLDrx2vorYgZ6dXGXtBIhXYyFfD6s_66klaoqcP4BRPWQVcPadR7pdrdFIh5yTSYItKvPFxU2/s1600/LF+CAS+baby+boy+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKfaBKLwRYCWwbgrwqZGYciTDABcI83w6wCf45BDXR1cFbLbvuVBGrneWZJAtY47HpPsibLDrx2vorYgZ6dXGXtBIhXYyFfD6s_66klaoqcP4BRPWQVcPadR7pdrdFIh5yTSYItKvPFxU2/s320/LF+CAS+baby+boy+3.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the idea to use a star on the boy card but I don't have any :( an excuse for more stamps me thinks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3hRNODDzbQtRQaf3h6z5z33bsuxkqBti388DvCLaRBSdfl1tpQFWA0NhYu7NLcglrKe5EWKolOORSQXDQZ1Px4M_nd3h4I2GUrxUBGfZnzqFhsACZI0hWXLYiXQTZ7mkYiikDHmdyixlP/s1600/LF+CAS+baby+girl+front+.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3hRNODDzbQtRQaf3h6z5z33bsuxkqBti388DvCLaRBSdfl1tpQFWA0NhYu7NLcglrKe5EWKolOORSQXDQZ1Px4M_nd3h4I2GUrxUBGfZnzqFhsACZI0hWXLYiXQTZ7mkYiikDHmdyixlP/s320/LF+CAS+baby+girl+front+.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the same layout and stamps for a girl version but coloured the heart in a darker pink as when I tried red it just didn't work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I sprinkled glitter on the tips of the leaves.

And where did I decide to buy them from?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/" target="_blank">Papertrey Ink</a> of course!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">So its taken aaaaaages to get here - it got stuck in the USA then in customs and then with the bank holiday it was taking forever so I convinced the bf to drive to the depot to go pick it up ha ha! </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyhoo it was like my birthday had come a week early lol (well a week and a half as its the 7th lol) as I opened up all the stamp sets that get wrapped in white tissue paper and stroked them and smelled their delicious good quality acrylic smell (is it just me lol! Please say it isnt!).</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">So I though I'd make another haul video, not to show off just to make everybody aware of the<a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/" target="_blank"> PTI</a> goodness that is available out there! And because I spend a good chunk of my spare time watching other crafters haul videos!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">So this is it!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Is not a great quality :S a new camera is needed me thinks!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ym6Lt2x7v18?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Thank you very much for watching!
