Thanks for reading.

Thanks Danny

 Morning all.  It's that time again. 15th of the month means a new Sparkles Monthly Challenge.  We would like you to use 'dies/die cutting' on your projects please.  Perfect.  I need a card for the wonderful Danny who, with my brilliant husband, recently created me a custom built crafting area on our boat.  They both worked so hard over a weekend and I now have so much space and organisation (and on a boat that is so hard to do) for all my craft stuff.  It's made such a difference to my productivity.  I know where to find things now.

Thanks Danny

The tool dies are an ancient set from Spellbinders and the Thanks die is from Crafter's companion.

Don't be A Llama'd

 Morning all.  We've got a nice easy theme for you over at Cardz4galz  this week.  We would like you to 'add and animal' to your project please.  I could have gone super mad for this one as I've bought quite a few new sets of clipart from Etsy just recently.  Ssh, don't tell the other half.

In the end I chose this really cute Llama from Dotwit. He looks so happy with himself doesn't he.

Little People

 One thing I have very few of in my stash are kids cards so today's challenge over at The Alphabet Challenge gave me the chance to glean some ideas from you lot.  I chose 'L for Little People' as the new theme.  Come on, give me some inspiration.

I love these cute bears from Ivankart on Etsy.   I used some of the pink and red images for this one as I've had that patterned paper forever.  I need to use some of the blue images for another one as my great-nephew has a birthday in November.  

Thanks for reading.

Easel with a Twist

 Morning all.  This one should have gone live yesterday but I forgot  to schedule it.  Sorry.  Over at Cardz4galz we are looking for an 'Easel Card'.  I love this type of card as they look extra fancy but are so easy to do.  I chose to do a Twisted Easel for my design.

My sisters' birthday is coming up and I thought this image would appeal to Marie.  Not sure what I'll do for Gail as she isn't one for cocktails.  I bought a whole set from Ivankart on Etsy and the inside of the card is decorated with another espresso martini image.

Thanks for reading.

In the Pink

 Morning all.  I know we aren't quite there yet but, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  In support of that Make My Monday is looking for 'Pink Cards with Pink Ribbon'.  That could be actual ribbon or the Breast Cancer ribbon like this one.

I got some clipart from Prinxify on Etsy and chose one of the images for my card.

Please join us in supporting and raising awareness of this important cause and, whilst you are about it, give the boobs a good check.

Thanks for reading.

Here Kitty Kitty

 Over at The Alphabet Challenge we are up to K for Kittens. Get ready for two weeks of adorable cuteness.  To start you off I've gone with another Dotwit image.

Isn't he just so sweet.  I used some paper from my scrap bin as well so I'm really chuffed with this one.

Thanks for reading.
