Good morning all! Well there's the weekend gone again, so it's Cupcake Craft Challenge time! This week our challenge theme has been chosen by la gentille Catherine, and linking in with the return to school Catherine would like to see creations with a connection to Books & Stories! This is a great theme Catherine which took me back a few years! My card was inspired by books I used to read as a girl... horsey books... by the Pullein-Thompson sisters. The three sisters used to write fab fictional stories about girls and ponies which were just up my street! I spent many a late night hiding under my duvet with a torch reading my book!
I've used this lovely stamp from Lili of the Valley called 'Me & My Pony', coloured with Promarkers. The papers are from My Minds Eye 'Bloom & Grow' pack. The little sentiment is from Papermania. I'm entering my card into the challenge at Stamp Something which is to stamp 'Something Cute'.
Well, as there are some scrummy prizes up for grabs, from Simon Says Stamp & Little Claire, then pop over to the Cupcake blog for some inspiration from the other girls, and then get creating! Hope you can join in this week!
On a personal note I just want to apologise for not getting round your blogs much lately, things are a bit full on here at the minute and I have a few worries which are keeping me away from crafting and blogging. So I just want to say thank you for all the lovely comments... I really appreciate them, they lift my day!
