Monochromatic mad at Charisma......

Hi all!! hope you are all having a fab week. Our challenge over at Charisma Cardz is MONOCHROMATIC......shades of one colour.

For my DT card I have chosen the colour Teal. I've had these Papermania papers for ages and been dying to use them. The image is WOJ Willow with Flowers coloured with Copics. I used MS arch punch, Roses from Wild Orchid crafts and the other flowers and the ribbon are from my stash. I decided to go a bit ott with the stickles on the flower...he he!!! I just wanted it to stand out...... and added a few gems just because they suited the colour scheme.
I hope you have a lovely day whatever you get up to... I'm at work this morning so this post is scheduled. Hopefully I'll get home early enough to maybe make a card or two.
Thanks for popping in,

FF champagne bear
Bubbles paper free download, sorry can't remember where I got it.

A lovely Award...

Hello everyone, I hope you have all enjoyed the Easter Weekend and you managed to enjoy some sunshine at some point. I'm afraid our Egg hunt was indoors this year for the kids but they still thoroughly enjoyed it. The rain stopped eventually but still to wet to put eggs out in the garden. We had a lovely time despite the weather. I had a nice surprise today when I discovered my lovely blogging friend Fiona had given me this award, she has translated it as an Enchanting Blog, how lovely is that!! Thank you so much Fiona I'm thrilled to receive it. I have to pass this on to 12 more bloggers including the person that sent it to me, so here goes.....

Hope you have a lovely Sunday.

Easter Bunny....

Hi there, my card today is another one for Easter. I'm really enjoying using all these fab pastel colours, they really cheer you up on a dull wet day like today. I found this Cuddly Buddly Easter Bunny that I got last year and as usual he never seemed to get used.
I decided to do a circular card this time as I haven't done one for ages, so I set up my Craft Robo to cut the scalloped shape. After fighting with the computer and the Robo....... I discovered I didn't have the right Driver set up for the new Window's 7 which is on my new Laptop so I had to drag the old one out and was lucky that I haven't deleted any of the Robo files from it yet...Phew!!! So I managed to get it going and came up with this card....eventually!!
It's so frustrating when you can't find what you're looking for...I downloaded around 6 drivers from Graftec (Robo makers) and none of them worked, so I've decided just to keep my old Laptop just for running my Robo....makes life so much easier...lol

I hope you have a lovely weekend and enjoy some crafting time and thanks for your visit to my blog today.
