Valentine, I Love You

Hellllooooo there, yayyyyy its Sunday. I love Sundays as its family day & I've got everyone here for tea. I also love today because this week has been one of those weeks where monday started & has kinda merged with Sunday.........its been hectic & gone fast!!

I have lots of cards on my lappy that I've made & not had time to blog so I'm gonna catch up over the next week or 2 lol.

I will start with hubby's Valentine's card with a new stamp I got from Stamping Bella!!

OMG I love this stamp......

.....I actually got both 'Bee' ones.......it really was love at first sight & I dont like bees, they scare the bee-jesus outta me....sriously I shriek like a girl........oh wait its cus I am. Then again my eldest shrieks like a girl when he sees a bee.......& he's a man lol.

Ok so papers used were an old My Minds Eye Lost & Found 6x6 pad I've had a long time. I of course stitched all around the edges as always but this time with black stitching to match the black on the card.

As always I decorated inside to match the front.

Except the Bee all dies used are CC Designs, I've used 'Layered Tags' & 'Make A Card 12 Smoochies' dies. These dies are awesome & cut beautifully...I lurve good dies & being a Die Fanatic these are GOOOOOOD!!!

Now when I made this card I made it for obviously my hubby but also the stamping bellarifi Friday which was use a die.......yeah I missed that lol but apart from the CC Design dies I also used 1 more...

I have also used the co-ordinating Cut It Out Die to this stamp which is fabulous & I wish I had got the cut out die for the other bee as well but didnt.........silly silly me!!!

Stamp used is called 'Bee Mine' which was coloured with copics & glitter added. This stamp also comes with a sentiment, but didnt use it on this card. Psst I did get carried away with these Bee's & have another 2 cards show you another time using them & the sentiment is on that one, ssshhhh keep it to yourself ;-)

Ok I've babbled long enough now & I have a few things do before family gets here. Hubby is out with my sons.....sorry our sons they are not just mine lol. They have father & son time every weekend & they go out with their RC cars & have boy fun with big boy toys. Which leaves me to potter on while Natalie watches a disney & shakes her rattle lol.

Thank you for popping along to see my card & also thank you for listening to me droan & babble on & on & on.........ok I'm going now definitely....

Tatty bye, huge squishy hugs for putting up with me mmwah

Deep Ocean Challenge DT Card

Hello again this is my 2nd post today providing that my first has published........in fact I'm hoping that this has published lol. Scroll down to see my Noor Design UK card.

So its time for a new challenge over at Deep Ocean Challenges this fortnight & the challenge is.....

Hearts

.......Yep another heart one.........seems we are all in love this month lol....so show us that love baby ;-)

So my card to show is one I made for hubster's birthday which was last week on the 2nd. I actually made his cards last year but then one I kept looking at & couldntdecide if I liked it so decided to quickly make him another........yep in the dying hours the night before lol.

On the morning though I then couldnt decide if I liked the new one or not....argh!!! Was gonna give him them both & let him decided.......then was gonna pop the shop & buy one lol.

However I bit the bullet & gave him the new one.......

Luckily he loved it.......think he may be a bit bias though lol.

Papers are Maja Design Vintage Autumn.....I love these papers.....what do you mean I say that about them all.....noooooo that doesnt sound like me ;-) sssshhhhhh lol

The centre bit I cut & then the bit that was left I fussy cut the 2 balloons off & popped them onto foam pads. Of course all papers were machine stitched.

This adorable image is from LOTV & is from the Odd Dog range....I've kept looking at these & then decided to get some....however as I wanted quite a few it was cheaper to buy the whole lot for £15....yes £15 for 21 digi images...how fab!!!

I coloured Odd Dog Balloon with distress ink refills & added Glossy Accents to his heart balloon.

The sentiment is Whimsy Stamps Bold Banner stamp & die from Noor Design UK. 

The 'Love You' text is form one of my new dies hubby got me the other week from CC Designs....its from Make A Card 12 Smoochies set.........love these make a card sets.......brilliant for simpler cards & foofy cards. I cut the Love You out twice & glued them together.

A very simple card.........hopefully I do a better job with the rest of the Odd Dog images....though they are perfect for the simpler cards lol.

Pop on over to see my teamies creations & why not join us.

Hope you all have a wonderful week. Thanks for stopping by.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
