A little gift bag

Morning girls

I'm back with my second post of the day. 

 Please scroll down if you'd like a peep at my Totally Papercrafts DT card.

This time around it's all about Polka Doodles.  Our new challenge starts this morning and this week we'd like to see a little gift card holder.  You know the ones around the size of your credit card.

I must say I faffed around for an age before I decided the way to go was a little handbag.  Why do we crafters like to make life difficult for ourselves?

These gorgeous papers are from the new Studio 12 Picknix CD .  I just printed them straight onto white 320gm card turned it around and did the same on the other side.  Easy peasy!!!  I used my Marianne Designs big bloom die to tuck the lid into to keep it closed.

...and inside

So, who's game to play with something other than a card?  Don't forget to pop over to the challenge blog for loads of inspiration from me lovely teamies.

Thanks for popping in.  Have a crafty weekend

Morning girls
Here we are at Friday already.  This week just seems to have flown by, I just never seemed to have enough hours in the day to get done what was needed or have much time left to craft either.  I was hoping to get in front with some of my DT work but hey ho that didn't happen either.  So guess who;s going to need to get her finger out over the weekend.
So, this is me first post of the day and it's for our new challenge over on Totally Papercrafts.
The theme this week is

Happy Monday girls:)

Did you all have a great crafty weekend?  I've been up to my eyes in DT work since Thursday and am just about done in.  Why oh why do we do it to ourselves lol

It's my turn to post over on the Inky Inspirational blog  today and I've a little lads card to show you.  My cousins little one is two tomorrow so this is a card i made for my Mum to give him.

This is Nicolas Firefly Frenzy.  I must say I think he's my favourite of all Nicole's images.  I just love his cheeky wee face:)

I've coloured him up with copics and have added a wee tut on the Inspiration Blog on how I darken down my red tones if your interested.

Papers are from Safrass Lass and I made the sentiment on the pc.

So, there's my effort for today girls, don't forget that you can buy Nicolas and loads of other cuties, charms and lovely flat backed pearls over at the Inky store

Happy Crafting
