I like how you roll

Hello lovely people,

Happy Friday to you all!

I have a Dies to Die For DT card for you today.

I may have already mentioned that I have the extremely nice problem of having sooooo many new MFT goodies that I hardly know what to use next!

My faves are always the cute critters though, so I decided on a hedgehog for this card, and it might be the speediest card I've ever made as it just all fell into place really quickly.

I had a few ideas about how to colour the hedgehog but settled on a flicking type of colouring to try to capture the spikiness and I think it worked ok.

I could have stamped him direct onto the white circle but hey, I have the dies so I am going to use them!  It's nice to add a little dimension by popping him on foam pads too.

If I've tempted you with any of the lovely supplies I've used then you can go straight to the individual products via the thumbnails at the end of my post or just pop over to Dies to Die For and have a little browse around!

FYI: there's a brand new MFT release available, but I take no responsibility for the temptation you may feel if you go and take a peek - lol!
I may already have given in to temptation myself ;-)

This time in pink!

Hello lovely people,

I had a lovely time catching up with people from work at the Pizza Hut lunch yesterday and my final pizza slice total was.....8 slices!  But I cheated a little by not eating the boring crusts ;-)

And now it's time for a new challenge at In The Pink

Our theme this time is...

PINK CHRISTMAS

So don't forget we want to see more pink than any other colour!

Our fabulous sponsor this time is Paper Nest Dolls with a $15 voucher

I had another play with this lovely stamp because it was just crying out to be done in pink and I fancied a bold modern design this time.

Since I threw rather a lot of bling at this card the tag seemed very appropriate!

Challenges I am entering;

Birthday fun

Hello lovely people,

Gosh, I feel like I have been very busy and productive this week, so what have I been up to?

I've done a lot of cleaning and I think my house has never been so clean all at once!

I also had time to do a little shopping to update my wardrobe for autumn/winter with some new skinny jeans and lots of cosy jumpers.

And I've been beavering away on my customised planner sheets to go in my absolutely awesome shiny hot pink Filofax... I love it soooooo much!

I did find time for some crafting too and today I am sharing my card for our new challenge at As You Like It with the theme of...

YOUR FAVOURITE...sweet or savoury
...and don't forget to tell us why it's your favourite!

Our sponsor for this challenge is My Mum's Craft Shop

I decided to use a LOTV art pad image which has a delicious looking cake on it.  I am definitely a 'sweet' girl...chocolate, ice cream, cake...I'm not fussy!

This simple design and colour scheme works for anyone so I think this is going in my stash for when I need a birthday card at the last minute!

Just a few sweet details...sparkle on the cake, a teeny paperclip to hold the tags on and I didn't even have to stitch because the die cut did all the work for me!
