Can't stop!

The images over at Crafty Purple Frog are so gorgeous that I can't stop.  Dinner is late again tonight!!  I'm still only starting out with the whole card making thing really ( other than a few dables years ago!), so I'm not really doing the images justice, so visit the blog and see what some of the DT have done with them.

Wish I had a bigger stash so I could add more stuff and not have to use so much pinl!.  Hopefully as I keep getting inspired by the wonderful DTs on these blogs, and the wonderful comments they make, I will get better and better

I am also entering this card for these challenges:

Pollycraft - Purple, green +one

Purple Frogs on the rampage!!

Today is the launch of the first Crafty Purple Frog challenge, so get yourself over there any have a look.  They have some great images in their shop which are really easy to use.

I am also entering it for  Challenge #52 - Pink at totally Gorjuss

Addicted

Well, now I'm addicted to card challenges, the only problem being I keep getting side tracked, and then forget which challenge I was doing a card for!!!  I have found some great challenges, but then start looking at the links, and the blogs of the other entrants, and then find more challenges and interesting things, then find more links................... I think you get the picture.  Then I go off an make the card I'd thought of, but then come back to try and find the challenge I was entering, and the whole process starts again, link.....link.......link.....!!!!!  Before I know it, it's 6.45pm and I have done nothing but search blogs all day!

Anyway, here is my entry that I've done today, and I have at last found the challenge I was entering it for on Sunday Sketch and Stamp

I'm not very good at listing what I've used, as most of it is just stuff I've bought on impulse and put in my stash.

First Ever challenge!!!!

I've just created my first ever entry for a craft challenge on a blog!!!!!  It was good fun, it's certainly not up to the standards of other peoples, but I enjoyed doing it, and surely that's what it's all about!! Admittedly, winning a prize would give me a nice warm fuzzy feeling, but for now fun will do!

Well here it is then, my entry to the challenge on Paper Cupcakes blog.  I used the free digi stamp that was provided on the challenge, so a big thankyou for that.  It's was my first ever digi stamp as well!!

Crafters Companion blog hop

I have just finished the crafters companion blog hop!! It's my first ever blog hop, and it was great fun.  I'm fairly new to card making, and so my creations are not so great yet (even though I'm really proud of them!) so it was great fun to visit all the different blogs and look at some of the inspiration for using the new stamp sets by crafters companion.  Here's the link if you fancy a go.  There's a great prize on offer too!!!

Pimp My Snack!!

I have been doing some preparation, and trial runs for some stuff that I am going to do in the Brownie pack that I have just taken over, and can you imagine how excited I was when I found out that one of the activites they can do towards one of the challenge badges was.........wait for it.............MAKING GIANT JELLY TOTS!!!

That has got to be one of the most awesome things ever.  Jelly Tots were great, but giant ones!

The whole task did almost end in total disaster though, as in my excitement, I missed the vital part of the instructions that said "line your cake tins with cake cases".  It took along time to get the very sticky jelly out of the metal tin!!! But on the second attempt they came out great.   I haven't actually tried eating one, I get the impression the thought might be better than the taste!!!  I just hope the Brownies enjoy making them as much as I did, not even sure they still make Jelly Tots??
