Where have I been???

Hello, I have been quiet on this blog for a little while but I've been on pinterest, Facebook and odd forums here and there. But stay tuned for some exciting news tomorrow and fingers crossed some BLOG CANDY in the next week or two :) It will be my first ever blog candy so bare with me lol. It won't be life changing but it will be a nice addition to the winners stash.
I have been quiet for a few months so I will give you an update on what I have been up to. I am starting back at college next week studying for my level 2 Teaching assistant qualification. I am at school tomorrow helping in the year one class so I am really looking forward to that. I have had a card in quick cards magazine (the one on this post) and I have made about 20 Christmas cards so far thanks to Hunkydory doing a lot of the work for me lol. It's been an eventful couple of months lol

So watch this space tomorrow for my news and thanks for reading ;)

Ooh La La challenge - True Love

I've gone a little vintage with this card using an image from Ooh La La cd Passion For Fashion. I've used some lace I bought a little while ago, it's gorgeous but so expensive I think I'll have to learn to crochet it myself, mind you the thread on its own is pricey. Oh well it's not a cheap hobby is it.
Hope everyone can join in the fun, it is the perfect challenge just in time for valentines day so there are no excuses!!

Ooh La La Challenge 121 Happy Birthday

 Happy New Year! I have been lucky enough to make some cards using the new CD from Ooh La La Yesterday's Memories, and for the first challenge of 2013 "happy Birthday" I have made this card using a gorgeous vintage image. I have used clear embossing powder on the goldfish bowl which looks pretty cool.
You can join in the challenge here and buy the CD here!!!

Ooh La La Challenge - Reflections

I've used the gorgeous artwork from the Ooh La La carnival of colour CD rom for this clean and simple style card. The challenge is all about reflection, whether it's literal reflection or thoughtfulness I think this card fits both themes :)
