This is our very first FCCB Sketch Challenge, so, please follow the sketch and join in the fun with us this week

As always you still need to use and name at least one Cricut cut to be in with a chance of Top 5 and/or the weekly prize

Sketch Positioning Systems

Marks Finest Papers are sponsoring us this week and the prize winner will receive a fantastic Stamp Set

Lots of the DT will be using stamps from Marks finest this week so look out for them as you cruise around our blogs !!

I will be using mine in a future challenge on 17th March and I can tell you first hand the stamps are amazing quality 

Oh I nearly forgot to tell you about my card there is so much going on in this post lol

I followed the sketch parrot fashion and added fantastic die cuts from Artiste cartridge

My papers are from the beautiful Gorjuss Girls collection 

I love the little photo corners which I embossed along with the chandelier in clear embossing powder and the little sentiment is made by Craftwork Cards

Have a fantastic week, hope to see your project up on the FCCB challenge blog

Happy Birthday Ann x Big 40 x

I have my sister's card to share today along with it's little gift tag card

Lots of champagne will be flowing as this post goes live !!

More Gorjuss Girls because I just love love love them !! I decoupaged some of the 12x12 papers for this one, super simple after all the gift tags lol 

3" Gift Tag Card with a spellbinder used to cut the Gorjuss Girl from the packaging along with scraps left over from the main card.

Back tomorrow with my Dad's card, April is full of Birthdays in our house !!

18 Birthday Tags and then some ... x

Happy Saturday 

Oh it is so good to sit and do NOTHING !!

Life is busy busy busy ....

I'm off to York in a few minutes for my Sister's 40th Birthday celebrations tomorrow

but first I need to share my 18 Birthday tags for Emma....

I used the scraps from Em's Birthday card for all the tags

Docrafts Gorjuss with some silver mirror card added - Cheap and cheerful from The Range

The tags and pretties are all cut from the Cricut Artiste Cartridge

The mini buttons are really cute and came free with Creativity magazine last month

The bows are already tied and part of the Gorjuss range

Each of the 3 different coloured Baker's twine reels are 20 yards long making it a really good way of decorating the tags and parcels

I love the 3-D bow from the Artiste Cart

This is everyone's favorite in our house 

I have finally mastered the pearl Cosmic Shimmer dots - so economical to use instead of a lot of gems or pearls

I got a butterfly punch out for this one

Em loves the jigsaw cut so we had to have a tag made with it

A different style of bow

I prettied this one up with Cosmic shimmer dots but then messed up the 13  !! !!

Tired now ?? !! ??

Love this one

My favorite flowers

Nearly there ...

Happy 18th gift bag 

Just when you think its all over...

...more with no numbers lol

Mustache for JoJo's presents for Em

and finally googly eyes on tags made from wrapping paper

Thank you for sharing my picture heavy post !!

Anything Goes Challenge 90 Heavy Metal

Emma had a fantastic Birthday...first "legal" wine purchase went down very well lol at her birthday bash last night!! 

A good time was had by all !!

I have used my birthday card to her as my DT card for the new 

Anything Goes Challenge 

#90

"Heavy Metal"

I fell in love with this Gorjuss girl a long time ago and she reminds me of my daughter

My "metal" element is the fabulous brad part of the Gorjuss Girls range 

I put one of the note die cuts inside to hide the baker's twine

Emma loved her card and the 18 matching tags hope you do too!!

Don't forget to join us over at the Anything Goes Challenge Blog and

Back soon to share my Altered Mirror made with some of the ladies from the DT at Lynne's on Saturday at the  Hel's Sheriden meltpot workshop  

Thank you Lynne for an absolutely brilliant day x
