"For the Love of Pink" blog hop 1st July

Hi, this is a blog hop called "For the Love of Pink.  It's also to celebrate Gill's big day (hope it was a great one).  Come in and have a look at all the wonderful creations that the crafters have made. I am the last person on the hop and you would have reached me from 21. Denise http://vintageheartfeltdesigns.blogspot.com/.
For today's blog I have made the following card.  I used a deckle edged white card and covered it in various shades of the colour pink.  I coloured in a Candytuft Fairy topper and added some pink glitter to the wings.  I matted and layered it on to glitter card and card and added some card candy round the edges of the picture.  I then stamped the cup cakes and coloured them in and matted and layered those.  I added the pink shoes and a stamped matted and layered Happy Birthday and some more card candy and made an easel card.  I hope the lady in question likes this pink creation. 

Here is the line up for this hop in case you get lost along the way.

CBGM BLOG SKETCH CHALLENGE #10 - THE USE OF THE COLOUR BLUE

Here is my entry for the above challenge.  I opted to make a scrap book page and based it on the Neil Diamond's Song Sung Blue.  I use a blue co-ordinations 12x12. I rounded of the corners and then used a free paper and matted and layered a piece of musical notes paper.  I cut around the middle and then matted and layered a photo of Neil on to a piece of yellow glitter card from create and craft and then a piece of dark blue co-ordinations paper.  I then used blue flowers and buttons to decorate the page and wrote the first verse of the song.  The flowers come from the fourth line of the verse, "every garden grows one".

CBGM Challenge # 8The use of round shapes

Here is the card that I have made for the above challenge.  It is on a white deckle edged card.  I covered it with a free paper that has coloured dots on.  I then matted and layered yellow and pink paper then stuck on two large circles of green glitter card from create and craft.  On top of those I glued down a white cotton doily with tacky glue, then glued down green buttons round the outside edge.  On the inside of the doily I glued some gold sequins and inside that I glued a large yellow button on top of which I put a yellow flower from the capsule range by do crafts.  To finish off I stuck down a yellow foam square  on top of which I glued some more sequins topped of with another small circle of white foam.  I then cut some leaves from green foam to finish off the card.

CBGM All that glitters challenge #5

http://creationsbygillm.blogspot.com/2011/04/cbgm-blog-sketch-challenge-5-all-that.htmlThis is the card I have made for the above challenge.  It is on white scallop edged card.  The backing paper is from the Create and Craft range of glitter card.  The other papers were from a craft magazine.  The cupcake came from the same range of free papers.  I covered the icing on the cake with 3d clear gloss finish and highlighted the stalk, cherry and cake case with a red glitter pen.  I then matted and layered the cake on to co-ordinations blue paper and some more of the Create and Craft glitter card.  I then  added some sequins and bling to give it some more shine.

Wedding Day Cross Stitch Card

This is a cross stitch card I made for our new neighbours when they got married.  I did it as a surprise and they loved the fact that someone had made something for them.   It took about three days for me to complete.  Just finishing it on the day they went to get married.
