Let's Pretend!

Let's pretend that this is the first time!

Let's pretend you've never seen a card like this before!

Pretend that when you called by the other week that you didn't see

this card.

After all, they are all unique lol!

And if you'd actually seen them for real these two 

are considerably smaller than the first one I made lol!

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

PWC306, Masculine,

ABC, Just as you like it,

EAC, Anything goes.

I apologise in advance that there is every chance that there will be more cards, similar but unique lol! I can't help it, as the mother of an Eighteen year old boy, I get lots of requests for cards for his friends and now that I have it saved to file it's a relatively quick make.

Anyway, that's it for today,

Always Keep Your Camera Charged

This is a card, it doesn't look much like one but honestly, it is! It finished up against the clock and it wasn't till my son was ready to go to a party that I realised that my battery was flat so this is the only photo that I managed. It fits in a DL envelope and as the card is formed with open lettering, the tag that's on the end gives space at the back to be write the greeting. I hope I'm not going to bore you with my Scan n Cut creations!

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

CBD April, Anything goes,

DBD, Anything goes,

I&Y50, Anything goes,

SOS145, Faux, (Stitching to the tag).

Ladybug Birthday Challenge.

Goodness it's only 9am and I'm already on my second DT post of the day.

It's the lovely Ladybug Lyndsey who is hosting today's challenge at

 "Totally Ladybug Tuesday"

"Birthdays"

This time the Ladybugs have all used

I wish you could see how glittery the frosting is, I swirled lilac and pearl liquid pearls together and poured a generous amount of glamour dust over it, leaving it to dry overnight before  shaking off the excess.

Super Cute And Colourful Billie.

Happy Ladybug Tuesday! 

At Last, it's time for a

 New Challenge Theme

For this one we would like to see you use this colour prompt.

 

I used the gorgeous "Billie Bunting" from the New release, how clever of Kerry to also have them without the numbers now!

I teamed my image with the gorgeous Nitwits papers at LOTV papers that luckily had almost all of the colours already, I did also add yellow to the bunting but got a bit carried away and changed it before realising, luckily Billie's little heart is still lemon!

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

Hobbycutz 12, For a child,

SS166, Childsplay,

OSC237, CAS,

WPS 30,Birthday,
