what an explosion!!!


my friend asked me to make an exploding box for her mum with autumn colours
soooo
I have used all the flowers from flower pack at  Daisy Doodles store - plus there are loads more in the set I haven't used yet - watch this space!!!
I printed them all onto different coloured card and layered them, then added gems and in the centre box is hand made spotty paper and on the top too, but the bottom now has a verse on it too - finally there will be a cupcake inside it but not until its sent
the flowers on the top again were printed from the pack and then shaped before layering
finally the card around the edge has been shaped with a martha stewart punch and some gold shiny ribbon added to finish off

I am going to enter my exploding box in the challenges at
creative inspirations - halloween/fall
lexis creations - birthdays
craft your passion - glitter and sparkles
papertake weekly - shiny and bright
a spoonful of sugar - lets get punchy
stamp challenges - fun with digis

decided to make this tag as we had a Christmas tag swap at crafty us, but thought I would have a go with an unChristmassy one
used this pretty tilda, and coloured her with promarkers
made the bow using the fork method here
havent decided if I will use this on a card or actually as a tag yet

I want to enter this for the challenges at

the image is from mcs florishes CD
and have just basically layered the coloured card and added some card candy - very simple but I think quite pretty!

I am going to use this for the challenge at
papercutz - red, black and white


HI HO SILVER!!!!

Aww, I just love this stamp, I have coloured it with my promarkers and then layered with red and green card, then used some backing paper that was on offer at hobbycraft

country christmas


sometimes I do get some very odd requests for cards
this one was
I  want a christmas card, for my parents who like countryside and shooting????
this really got my brain going
and in the end decided to do a search on google to find an image as I was stuck
I layered red, gold and patterened (free with a mag) papers
then made some holly with my cricut and added some bling and made it a bit more special by turning it into an easel card
the design is from the challenge at crafty creations
I also want to add it to the challenges at
cute card Thursday - home made embellies
polka doodle - also home made embellies
craftalicious - anything goes
paper sundaes - change of season

am actually quite pleased with how it turned out, looks really much better in the flesh!!

something to celebrate

what a lovely way to celebrate!! by having a baby lol
so I used my magnolia little horsie, its so sweet, coloured with promarkers and added a bit of glitter with the sakura pens and even did some fancy folding (not actually sure of the name of this folding technique)
got some new card candy this week too so used those on 3 of the corners and put all the bits together on some ff backing paper, the sentiment is done on the pc

so thought I would enter the challenges at
stamp challenges - something to celebrate
polkadoodle again for the interesting fold
cowgirls for anything goes
daisy doodles for critter
pollycraft - anything goes
pixie dust - new baby

and thats it for today
so off to bed now

ff decorating

well I havent left the planet, have just been so busy this week
so thought I had better show off what I have been making


so heres a tunnel card I think thats what they are called, quite simple to make but is a bit of a pain to get the apperture in the right place,
have used ff image off the CD and also the paper is off the CD, and then added some bling, so is really a simple card to be honest, gosh I should have a blog called 'the lazy crafter'

anyway this lazy crafter is going to use this card for the challenges at
polkadoodle blog - fancy or interesting fold
paper sundaes - something from my stash (my cd)
creative cottage - bling it on

not a bad start really
