The Cute is BACK

WOW has it really been 3 years since I dabbled in the cute.. Time does fly these days that's for sure.

So today I am sharing a card I made after seeing Challenge #17 over on the Live & Love Craft's Blog.

They gave this pic as inspiration, and it just spoke to me

So I stamped up a gorjuss girl and came up with this

I took my inspiration mainly from the colours and some of the elements like the distressed whitewashed wood, the clock and the pot of flowers.

This is just the start of what I feel will be many more cute cards to come, so stay tuned xo

Now Dont Faint.....

and don't get over excited either..I'm afraid i'm not stopping long...

I just thought i'd stop by to say that Yes i am still alive, and Yes i am still wrapped up in all things ALteReD

BUT...i have created something this is partly cute!!

 I thought i'd share this fathers day card with you as although its kind of a distressed affair, it does contain one of the very delightful and very cute LOTV images

Created using a lotv boy stamp, a woj fence stamp, and a see-d's alpha set, distress inks, bottle tops and old paper pages.

A short and sweet post, from a short but sweet host.. Sorry my cute chums for neglecting you but you must follow your heart sometimes.. and mine right now is full of distress {ink that is}

Yep i'm still alive!

......but I'm wrapped up in all things altered i'm afraid.....Check out my dark side by visiting my other blog HERE

 but just on case your getting withdrawl here's a quick cutie to keep you amused xx

This fits in perfectly with Paper Play's challenge this week which is 'Just Because'

Heaven Sent!

This was created with some of the random bits i had lying about on my desk, I try and do this now and again, like a mini challenge for myself, plus it help to clear some of the clutter that alwyas seems to build up on my desk lol.

I used my favourite Gorjuss 'Guardian Angel' stamp and she's coloured with copics.

I used a few of my own scrunch blooms and the swirls were cut using a Slice, The paper is foil glittered and i've also used a strip of fab raffia lace

This card fits in with a couple of challenges:

• Crafty Creations 'Textures'
• Stamp, Scrap & Doodle 'Girly'

My Guy Ian...

No i don't have a new man in my life, i'm talking about one of the fab Greetings farm Ian stamps that i've used for this card.. isn't he just adorable.

I do find mens cards quite challenging, mainly coz i don't make that many but i think this one turned out ok.

I got my great colour combo from the 'Photo Inspiration challenge' over at Basic Grey

I've used Wisteria, Marrakech and Off Beat papers.

I tarted it up with some silver coloured wooden stars and a couple of pins.

The little car is a plastic button and the wording stamp is greetings farm.

This card also fits in with the following challenges:

• Sassy Designs - Card for a boy
• The Pink Elephant - Birthday
• Crazy 4 Challenges - Birthday

Nice to 'pleat' you!

Another day and another Tilda...

I know, i know, Minxy and Tilda don't usually go, but i seem to have grown a very tiny soft spot for her lately! This 'Cupid Tilda' in particular is super cute, i've coloured her with my new Polychromos {pencils by faber-castell} which i have to say are just fabby, and make a nice change from the copics, they have a lovely softness about them and blend well too.

As i had coloured a Tilda i decided to join in with the Special monthly

Just Magnolia challenge, the theme 'Paper Pleating',

For this i used some old book pages and then inked the edges to make them more visible,

I pleated in a curve to create a circle to follow the

fab sketch provided by this weeks Allsorts #34 Challenge

The papers are MME and CC and the flowers are from my stash.

Thanks for taking the time to come see my card, leave a comment so i know you came by :)
