Cupcake craft challenge #109 – DT card

Hello I’m back again to share my card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  The lovely Donna has chosen our theme this week and has picked “transport”, so we want to see all your cars, bikes, trucks or anything else that can move you from one place to another!  For my card I have used a new image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Josh & skateboard’, which is part of the ‘Josh collection 1’ and is the offer of the month at the moment.  So why not grab it (along with 2 other images at an amazing prize but only for September).  Here is my card (warning you are going to need your sunglasses for this one lol!):

Marcea’s “music saves your soul’ week 1

I’m back again!  The lovely Marcea has started her ‘music saves your soul’ and wants us to share one of our favourite songs each Saturday with her.  She has chosen a brilliant first song – Lady Gaga’s bad romance.  Now I love all types of music and being an 80’s girl I really love all the cheesy songs from then.  However my first song to join Marcea’s ‘music saves your soul’ this week is Alphabeat’s ‘fascination’ as I think it’s really upbeat and you can’t stop yourself having a little jig!!

So why not add Marcea’s super cool banner to your sidebar and take part in her fun game.  She will even send a little something to the person whose song she likes the most that week – how exciting.

Marcea I hope you like my choice this week.

Happy Saturday!

Hello everyone, I know a rare Saturday post from me but I made a project last night so I thought I’d share it with you today.  There are quite a few challenges asking for bookmarks this week and as I hadn’t made one for a while I decided I would really try and make one.  Here is what I came up with:
