Goodies & DCM Little Extra Challenge

The sun is shining today (yippee!) - I was getting a bit sick of all the rain we have had (and our roof is leaking !!). Oliver is with his grand parents today, I've been out exercising this morning then went to a craft shop and bought these goodies.

Look at these beautiful flowers !! Can you believe I was never one for flowers - I just couldn't see what people were talking about when they went on about 'Prima' or any other brand. How stupid was I ?? No need to answer that question by the way. LOL

I also bought these lovely papers and some 'bling' bazzil.

Daring Cardmakers have their usual Friday challenge but they also have a mid week one(Tuesday for them) called 'Little Extra'.

Here is my card for the Little Extra. This will be my valentines day card for my husband. I was really after blue colours but everything in the shop was red and pink. Oh well. I think the black 'bling' bazzil makes it a bit more manly rather than girly - do you think so??


You can see the heart button which I didn't even know I had until I took a closer look at my button box.

Happy Crafting.

Nestabilities in the UK

If you are wanting to buy the Nestabilities here in the UK, the Glitter Pot are selling them. They are also selling the Tan Polymer Mat you need to emboss.

The scalloped dies come in two sizes - petite and classic and the standard dies also come in two sized - small and large. There are circle, square, oval and rectangle dies in each of the scalloped and standard dies.

I don't have many hand held punches so when I saw the nestabilites, I had to have them. They hardly take up any space (a crafter's dream) and are so easy to use. You just need a die-cut machine - I have the bigshot but I have seen people using their cuttlebug and other die-cut machines on the market.

Happy crafting.
