Bugs in Ballooons

Good Morning, This has been a mad week! We adopted a black Labrador puppy last weekend and as you can imagine he is very boisterous and taking up all of my free time. I feel like I've got a new born in the house - having to get up 2-3 times a night as he's crying to go out and following him round waiting for him to go potty! But we are getting there and hopefully he'll settle down over the coming weeks!

 

Today is the mid-way reminder for Scribble and Scrap's 36th Challenge - why not pop by their blog and join us. You can win fab prizes from the Scribble and Scrap store and the rules are simple - An added bonus is it is always anything goes so even if your craft isn't card making you can still enter.

 

I have used the Hobby House Wee Toppers again;

 

These little bugs are from the Peggy and Friends collection of toppers. Aren't they just adorable! I have made the card for James it give his girlfriend for her birthday - his head is way in the clouds as he's in love - bless him!

I have used some blue card as matting for the design and added Lili of The Valley Petal Fresh Papers which color co-ordinate in with the design so well. A few pearls in the corner just to finish the CAS look of the card.

Thanks for stopping by and now shoot across to the Scribble and Scrap blog and join the fun!!

 

A Wee mermaid

I have been using the Wee toppers I'm addicted to again. This week its Peggy and friends and the gorgeous little mermaid and her pal the cute little heart bubble blowing snail

 

 

These images are so adorable and there are plenty to choose from in the Scribble and Scrap Store all the sheets also have a good collection on them too!

I have matted her onto some Kraft cards scalloped using my cameo. I have then used a Lili of the Valley Paper pad for the backing paper again matted onto Kraft card. The paper has been stamped with the water droplets stamp from Designs by Ryn. I have then used some Rickrack ribbon and some aqua colored skittles to embellish it further.
