Another Cyber RAK

I opened my mail this morning and just look what I found inside, the photo just doesn't do it enough justice. The sunflower ATC is beautifully painted, I think using H2O's or similar becuase it softly glistens and the beaded charm is superb. Thanks so much Sarah-Louise aka Tiggertastic I love them both so much.

Nice post yesterday

I received this gorgeous card from MaggieD it was sent to me as part of the March Card swap over on the CB forum, she also sent me her very 1st ATC too, as a RAK.........thanks Margaret they are both fab!

The individual ATC was also sent to me as a RAK, it was made by Boots the Monkey, thanks Jo I love it.

Here it is!

Here it is folks, the prize I won for the challenge I entered on the Crafts Beautiful forum.

Thank you CB I am thrilled to bits with it, i've never won anything before and I am sure that I will get loads of use out of it.

Button Fairy

Not been about for a while as I have been in the midst of an Arthritic flare up, that has completely knocked the stuffing out of me, been a while since I had one quite like this, but fingers crossed it is on the wain now. I guess it was doing to much all at once, as I normally pace myself, but I had promised I would do things and do them I did, plus I wanted to play at the all day crop as well :)

Anyway, while having to rest I have been finishing a project which is now complete {can't show you yet though} all will be revealed later in the month.

I saw these button fairys a while ago while on my blog travels, and seeing as I had time on my hands, thought it would be a good time to give them a try and this is the result. The glittery wings look lots nicer in real life, but they just look a mess online. I have my son and 2 of my grandkids here tonight, so I may get them to make some too.

"Congratulations....
To Draytonlady who is the winner of our latest forum challenge:Make any kind of crafty project inspired by one of our online videos
She used napkin decoupage to create a stunning box that really caught our eye. We know how fiddly this technique can be and think that the results looked fantastic, so a big well done!
Well done, Draytonlady, enjoy your prize!"

Draytonlady, That's Me !!!

Just the day before I entered this challenge, I had received a large envelope of beautifully patterned & coloured paper napkins, through a napkin swap held over on the Scrapitude forum. It wasn't until I joined in with the swap that I had ever thought of using paper nakins in my crafting, but now that I know the potential of them I can't wait to get messy & try some more projects.

For this challenge I wanted to try a completely different technique, something I had never tried before, so this challenge came along at just the right time for me.

So what have I won??

I will show you when it arrives................ ;)

Have you met Maggie yet?

Sally over at Bootiful Stampz has been sketching again. In the wake of her success with the Bunnie stamps, with more bunnies added to her range, she is working on Maggie.

Maggie is adorable and I can't wait for her to become available to purchase, these designs are so versatile and are so cute that they just melt my heart.

Pop on over to the Bootiful Stampz blog and see for yourself. I know that Sally would love to hear feedback from you all.

An award

I am honoured to have received this lovely award today from Silvercustard thank you so much Claire..........what a lovely surprise & it's great to be given this award!

This particular award is not just special because friend has taken the time to send it to me, but it is a brand new award and I am in the very first group of lucky people to receive it!

Hmm, I think I will hang on to it for a few days before I pass it on to the next special person!

Toppers, Tags & ATC's

Phew, talk of by the skin of my teeth, because new challenges are set every Sunday. So, I have quickly run this ATC up for the very 1st challenge on the Toppers, Tags & ATC's Challenge blog!

The theme was 'Birthdays'

March Designs

Here are the cards I made using the March Scrapagogo Greetings kit. The papers were fantastic to work with, I loved the big bold designs and the colours are amazing.

Have I really not blogged for this long!!

I have been making the favour boxes, name cards and the table plan for my sons wedding in May. I did enjoy doing it, but it took a lot of thinking out and was time consuming. Anyway, they are all done now and the next time I see them I will have a cool glass of Pimms in my hand, so that can't be bad!

I am off to the Warrington Crop tomorrow with a couple of friends Sue & Val, so looking forward to that, just hope the snow stays off enough for the travel. It promises to be a great day as it's run by Sarah's Cards, along with Rebecca and Lianne and there are loads of names that I am familiar with through UKS as well.

Also, I had a lovely surprise on Friday when I visited the Crafts Beautiful Forum, I found out that I had won a prize on the Win an X-cut Impress & Accessories Challenge worth £107! I am chuffed to bits, I've never won anything before! When it arrives I will photograph it along with the box I entered the challenge with......
