A Spoon Full of Sugar, Cute Card Thursday and One Stop Craft Challenge card.

Well, what a day I have had today with the children. Visiting Granny in the morning, our Sunday ritual. Then playing in the park. Then No 1 dragon went to a Birthday party and actually let me go home - it was the first time (she is just 5)- and of course everything was fine. She even volunteered to help with one of the magic tricks!!! Dad took No 2 dragon for a walk around a local nature reserve - some spooky woods - which she loved. That meant I had some unexpected time to craft, so I put the finishing touches to this card.

Firstly, I followed the sketch at A Spoon Full of Sugar copy of which is below.


I then used inspiration from the other two challenges to help me come up with a card. I hadn't intended to do the Fruity challenge from Cute Card Thursday until I came across some free downloads from Tinker & Co specifically the Strawberry Sundae motifs. So I put the designs on some silver miricard and teamed them up with some swirly paper from one Of Glenda Waterworths CDRoms - Seasons Greetings. The sentiment is just a straight forward Happy Birthday chalked with a matching colour. The flowers are from the Polka Doodles Sugar Birdies Cd Rom and on top I have added other flowers with a pearl in the middle thus satisfying the final challenge - Swirls and pearls from One Stop Craft Challenge .

I have also suddenly realised how to link the challenge to the word in my blog - you know when a light bulb goes on over someones head- instead of typing out the blog address. I can be a bit slow sometimes.

Look forward to reading your comments.
