Valentines or Hearts challenge at Fab'n'Funky Challenges

Good morning all

Well we're really on a roll with the Valentines now! - its hard to find a challenge without a heart so we jumped on the bandwagon at Fab'n'Funky challenges!

This week our theme Chosen by the very talented 

Pat K

is 

Valentines of Hearts

I decided to be a bit controversial

(no change there then!)

and make a new baby card - with hearts on it

There's only so many Valentines a girl can make - I just felt I needed the change lol

A very pink fairy!

Hi there blog friends

Hope you've all recovered from your Easter weekend. Holiday weekends always leave me totally confused and at the end of it all I haven't got a clue what day it is.  This one seems to have been worse than most and I've definitely lost a day (or two!) along the way.

I've spent around 20 hours with my youngest son scribing for him for his popular culture essay on Christmas (his disability means he can't write or produce huge amounts of text typing so that's my job!)  I've never had quite so much Christmas at Easter before - but I've been well educated along the way.  The good thing is its all done and he's away off to Uni this morning to hand in his books at the library - and get out the next lot - any one for a 10,000 word dissertation on Convergence Theory!!

Enough of Easter (and Christmas!) - I was caught totally on the hop for my DT card for the My Time to Craft Challenge - didn't realise it was Tuesday already and on top of that couldn't see how a whole two weeks had passed since the last challenge!     None the less it IS Tuesday today and time for another challenge at My Time to Craft.  Our new challenge for this fortnight is

Fairy Nice

So dust off those fairies - yes all those as yet un-inked and hidden away in your stash - and lets see all your pretty -  or even dark and wicked - fairies this next two weeks.  The DT girls have made some wonderful cards  for your inspiration  so get over to the challenge blog to see what we've all done - and show us your Magical cards

I've made the pinkest card ever! - with lots of glitter - I'm sure some little girl out there will love this - who doesn't love a fairy!

This is what I did.....

I wanted to keep it fairly simple, its not exactly a CAS card but its not too busy -I managed to hold back on the flowers this time

Stamp - Lili of the Valley Pom Pom

Coloured with - Copics and Prismacolor pencils

Papers - Forever Friends  New Arrival

Distressed with - Tim Holtz Tattered Rose distress ink

Butterflies - Martha Stewart punch

Glitter - Martha Stewart silver glitter glue

Die cut shapes for mounting - Spellbinders

Seam binding ribbon and clear gems from my stash

Sentiment  - Whiff of Joy Magical Wishes text set

I'm entering this card for the following challenges

ABC challenge - M is for Magical

Sweet Stampin challenge -Dies and Doodles

Flutterby Wednesdays - Butterfly, Fairy or Angel on your project

Allsorts Challenge - Bingo - Pink/ribbon/green (grass!)

Crafty Sentiments designs - Spring - pastel colours

That's all from me for today - hopefully I'll get caught up with my bloging and visiting over the next couple of days -See you tomorrow

Hugs
