Who wants worms for tea?

My little grandson will be two tomorrow so I thought I had better get my skates on and make him a card. I coloured the image up several weeks ago and have had it sitting on top of my desk just begging to be made into a card, LOL, I see it and think yep, gotta make that card and then give it a little push to the side.
Well finally it's done. I may add a number two in the morning or just leave it like this.
Here it is.......

Front of card...... I had to put a piece of white paper behind it as the scanner kept cutting off the top of the circle!!!  It's a shorter than normal card with the circle protruding over the top of the card.

MIM#140 Tea with Little Miss Muffet

Hi everyone, a wet and cold day here in Adelaide see the start of a new linky party at Make It Monday and this week we are being sponsored by Little Miss Muffet who are offering the winner 3 of their lovely digis.
Congrats this week go to Ella's Design as our featured artist and to Elena who won the prize from last week. Enjoy!!!
Okay that brings me to my creation for this week.
I've made a 3D cup and used the image I was given called Peggy Sue Hatter.
It was wet yesterday too and I took this late so hopefully the pic is good enough to share. I've printed the image onto white card and also onto some yellow with white dots Designer Paper and then coloured the image with Copics and then paper pieced sections of the hat and the whole dress. Added some pretty flowers and a touch of lace and a little tag (which is actually light pink!!!)

Recipe:
SU Melon Mambo for cup and Pink Pirouette for tag
Dies -     Sizzix Tea Cup 3D
              Cheery Lyn Designs - Olive branch
Image is  from Little Miss Muffet  - Peggy Sue Hatter  ~ she's been coloured and paper pieced too.

Copic Markers
Lace from stash
Ribbon for tag from stash
Flowers from stash
Pearl bling from stash
Tacky glue
DS tape roller

I am entering this into the following challenges:
The Kraftyhands Challenge - May challenge ~ Flower Frenzy
Our Creative Corner - Anything Goes
Annabelle Stamps Blog - ASB162 ~ Anything Goes
Delicious Doodles Challenge - Challenge #35 ~ Anything but a card
Simply Create Too - Challenge #37 ~ Anything Goes
Sister Act Card Challenge - Challenge #6 ~ Anything Goes


I added a bit of spotty net and will add something else later. I think this would work well with chocolates and a gift card or maybe some assorted tea or coffee sachets with a yummy specialty biscuit tucked in. Lots of goodies could be tucked away in this lovely 3D gift!!!

 

Little Miss Muffet is generously offering three digis to our winning commenter.

Remember, to be in the running to win the prize from our sponsor this week just leave a comment for another entry. Be sure to mention you saw them on Make It Monday. The more entries you comment on the more chances you have of winning!

Now we get on to the important stuff..... it's POTW time - I've chosen two cards more in the CAS style this week.
This cutie is from Helen at Molecraft and can be found here.  Slightly more embellies than pure CAS but love the Birdie Brown image.A delightful card for a little one year old and looks fab with the personalised name too.

I also chose a second entry to feature...... this one is by Lorraine from Lorraine's Loft and can be found here. Love the simple scene and the heart spotlight and the sentiment in the cloud with the pop of colour.

So that's it from me. Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with this week.
Hugs,
Sandy

Laurie & Emma's Wedding Card..... finally

Well, with all the things that had to be done prior to our youngest son's wedding, I just never managed to get the card put together. I had the image coloured and the scooter embellie but still hadn't had time to do it. Now it's been done for about a week and Laurie is interstate doing some training and Emma has gone to stay with him as well. She leaves for Vietnam on Sunday so I will be able to give it to them on the weekend. I think they are due home tomorrow night.
So I can share it with you here... I have now put a diecut inside with a message but have not shown that here in the scan.
By the way..... Laurie and Emma's engagement invite (which in reality was their surprise wedding) featured a scooter and his gift to her was a Vespa scooter which he had bought second hand and worked on. It looked brand new and she was delighted with it.

Here it is.....

Recipe:
Black cardstock from stash
DP is from Rosie's Studio - Rosie's wedding A5 Designer Paper
Image is from Mo Manning - love this one!!!
Cherish sentiment is from SU
For the Newlyweds (blast I put the stamp set away and I can't remember whose it was might also be SU)
Scooter is from a set of 3D embellies I've had in my stash for several years, no label
Pearls from stash
Nestie Die
Punch - Word Window

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by, and to those who comment - many thanks!!!
