dogs cats and other creatures

craftchallenge is a new website that I have come across while surfing the net their challenge this week was to make a card with dogs cats or creatures in mind and I came up with this cute creation

if I was to critically analysis this card I would use a smaller image although I do think this card is still very very cute and I got to use some of my old stock  and I discovered embellishments that I had forgotten about. I am enjoying getting back into my crafting and having some creative time .

you light up my life

long time no see. I have the week off and have decided to make a card each day to use up my stock and to get myself back into the crafty world the challenge this week at http://southerngirlschallenge was sing sing a song there were so many ideas that I came up with and I was going to make a selection and then chosse the best but the first one that I made I thought was just too cute not to share so I guess I will just have to find another challenge to keep me happy. Anyway this is the card that I made

anyway going back to my craft room thanks for looking I have missed my online community. Kirsty 

retro birthday

wow I have not blogged for a long time in fact I have not been creative for a long time. After I figured out how to get back on to blogger I was starting to wonder if it was worth it. Have had a few life changing experiences since I last blogged and that is probably why, now that I have resettled myself and moving forward I feel like I am ready to start creating and sharing again. anyway lets see if I can still do the linking thing daring cardmakers http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.co.nz/ are celebrating their seventh birthday and they have this picture as their inspiration
this is the card that I made that uses this photo as inspiration

the next part of the challenge was to make a christmas card based on a similar design since I was on a roll I made the following card

I am not happy that it does not reflect the first card or the inspirational picture but it is still a card and I am happy to cross another christmas card off my list thanks for looking did you miss me?
