Sorry if you have been waiting for me to announce the winner of my Janlynn candy, I totally forgot about it!
I am so glad that I did a followers only candy this time because it means I can give away goodies to people who come visit me often and leave me lovely comments, instead of giving it to someone who will never visit me again.
Anyway you have come to see who won so here we go.
I got Barry (my boyfriend) to pick a name out of hat and the winner is............ Kym (Kym's Crafty Cards). Congratulations Kym!!
I know you will love these goodies, they are great quality and I promise I really did want to keep some of those flowers for myself because they are so nice lol.
Thanks to everyone who entered, I wish I could give you all something to show how much I appreciate you following my blog but unfortunately I can't.
But if you want another chance of winning, you can go do the Cute Daisy May blog hop and leave a comment on my CDM post (below this one), you will be entered to win my mini candy, and the rest of the girls on the CDM design team has candy to give away too!
And I will have more giveaways after Christmas too :)
Kym, please email me with your snail mail address and I will get these goodies out to you asap.

Cute Daisy May Blog Hop
Welcome to the first ever Cute Daisy May blog hop!
If you came here from Linnie's blog then you are on the right track, but if you just came by to see little old me, then you need to go start at Beccy's blog to join in the fun.
Visit every DT member who by the way all have some cady to give away on their own blogs, and write down the letter that they give you. When you get to the last DT members blog, you will be directed to the Cute Daisy May blog where you need to leave a comment and you will have the chance to win some CDM downloads. You mut visit every DT members blog though in order to collect every letter as they will spell out a word which you have to email to cutedaisymay@gmail.com.
So first things first, I have some cards to show you. The challenge this week is Gems, so a nice easy one this time. Here's what I came up with.
I followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday which was perfect for using gems as the sketch had the dots on it already so I just put the gems exactly when the dots on teh sketch were. I did rotate the sketch though so my image would fit. And of course the image is a Cute Daisy May. Isn't it adorable?
I also made another card with 2 Cute Daisy May images but it's not for the challenge, although it does have pearls on it so maybe I would of been able to get away with this one too lol.
Sorry about this pic, I took it at about 11pm tonight so it was really dark. I think you get the jist of it though.
I used a Christmas apeture card and dangled a little Daisy fairy in the middle. I used 2 Daisy's back to back so she can twirl round and look pretty on both sides. I done this by mirroring the image so they matched up.
This is the card opened.
I used another Daisy from the same sheet for the inside.
Now I could of kept this card to show another day but I wanted to show these cards in use because I have some to give away :)
All you have to do is leave me a comment on this post.
And here's a pic of what the winner will get. The snowflake paper is not included, it was just on my desk as I was using it today and I was too lazy to move it before taking photos lol.
All the cards are the same as the one I have used, just in a selection of different colours :)
The flowers are a selection from my stash (I have way too much!!) and there is lots of different kinds and colours.
Now all you got to do is leave me a comment and then go visit Avril. Oh but before you go, you will need the letter T.
Have fun!

Janlynn Blog Candy!!
This candy is now closed
As I have been saying for a week or so now, I have some candy that Janlynn gave me to give away to one lucky person. I have tried all this week to get a pic of the stuff but I have either been ill (again!!) or it's been raining and I couldn't get outside to take a pic. So today while the weather looked ok thought I would get out and take a pic, but just as I got everything ready, it started to pour of rain, just typical!! So I took some pics indoors. They are not very good but hopefully you can see everything. My photo's really do not do any of this goodies justice though, they are all really good quality items and I honestly wanted to keep them for myself lol.
So here's what's up for grabs.
The top pic is everything the winner will receive, the other 2 pics are just giving you a closer look:) Janlynn have a huge sale on just now, but if you were to buy this lot for the full price, you would pay just under $70!!

A box, ornament and a card
This months By The Cute And Girly challenge is nearly over but you do still have time to get your entries in, there's still today and tomorrow to go, so I thought I would show you a few of my DT bits that I made this month. I already showed my chest at the start of the month but I didn't show the rest of the things that I made so here they are now, of course they have been on the challenge blog all month though so if you have been over there this month you would of already saw them lol.
I have to apologise for the pics of these, they are really bad as this is when my camera broke and I had to borrow one from a friend which was worse than my own one lol.
This was a gift box that was broken (you know how the edges come apart when a 4 year old stands on it lol), which I just taped back together and covered with some SU! paper.
I got the cute image ages ago in a blog candy win so I have no idea who makes this stamp. If anyone knows, I would love to know because I really like this image and I only had the one.
The little train and tag is from a Woodware set that I won on Kath's blog a little while ago. I just stamped them on some scraps of the paper I was using. I really like this stamp set, it has lots of little bits that can be used on their own or together and they still look fab. Great for little boys cards too, and it also has some little elves in it but as I had already coloured my elf image that I used here, I didn't use any from the set this time.
Here's the box at another angle so you can see the scalloped edge. I used a Fiskars threading water/scalloped border punch.
Noe that pics were not to bad but the next two are really blurry, but I have gave away the ornament thing and I can't find the card to take another pic, so I'm afraid you will just have to try imagine what they look like irl lol.
The papers I used on this one are Stampin Up and the image is of course a Sugar Nellie which the lovely Lorraine sent me. Flowers are from Tabby crafts, love Tab's shop for flowers and pins! The ribbon and charm which you can hardly see here is from my stash. The charm is a present with a bow on top just incase you can't make out what it's ment to be lol.
This ornament was so easy to make, just some designer paper (I think this one is Bo Bunny but I can't remember for sure), punched edges with a Fiskars scalloped punch and added a few gems, beads and a charm. I've made some of these to use as decorations at the Christmas fayre as they are so quick to make. Just 5 strips of paper and a few brads to hold it together and it's done. They even look nice without the added embellishments.
If you haven't been over to the BTC&G blog this month, why don't you pop over and join in the fun? The other girls have some fab projects on the blog, so loads of inspiration to get you going. And although I have only done paper crafts, you can enter with any craft you like and there are some fab prizes to be won. I am hosting this months challenge which is Winter Wonderland, so I'm sure a lot of you will be making cards/gifts with this theme anyway as we are all trying to get our Christmas cards made so why not enter and win yourself some craft stash for your trouble?
The new challenge will be posted on the 1st of December so remember to check back for that too.

Whiff Of Joy a missed and new challenge combined
I know my title sounds silly but that's exactly what my card for today is. I started making a card for last weeks WOJ challenge using Gio's sketch but I forgot about it and never got it finished so on Wedenesday I went to look at the new challenge and remembered that I still had last weeks card half made, and it just so happens that this weeks challenge is to make a Christmas card, so I finished it off and it fit's with this weeks challenge instead :)
Barry bought me a new camera for my Christmas and I didn't want to open it before Christmas but the camera I was using can't take pics inside and it has been pouring of rain again today so he gave me my pressie early so I could take pics of my card inside :)
I have no idea what half of the buttons are for yet so my pics are not the best but I could of never took a photo indoors (without any lamps either) and be able to even see my card at all so this is a huge improvement.
My image is colored with the usual Copics. Papers are Crafts House "Winter Wonderland"
I like these non traditional Christmas colours and the papers have a lovely sheen to them.
The sentiment is SU! from a hostess set which I stamped with Stone Grey Stazon, but on the shimmery gold card it looks totally different. The shimmer shows through and it kind of of looks like it's been heat embossed until you look at it close up. Ribbon, charm and little rose are all from my stash, and the larger flower is from Tabby Crafts. It was just a plain white flower but I rubbed over it with some lilac ink and coated it with Twinklets.
Just a closer look at the image and my flower. Iused different glue for the twinklets this time and it sticks properly without any of it falling off if you touch it. I think my Christmas cards will all be covered in this stuff because I love it :) It really is all Bev's fault though. If I had never seen her use it on her cards then I would of never knew about it and my Diamond Dust addiction would if never been born! So Bev if you read this I'm blaming you for all my cards beig covered in the stuff lol. Just wish my cards looked half as good as hers though!
Well that's the card done. I've been busy all week gettig things ready for the school Christmas Fayre and haven't had any time for blogging or making cards this week, and I have loads still to make but I'm hoping to get some time to join in with at least one more challenge and do some bloghopping, as well as getting the rest of my DT work finished.
I've made all my Santa's magic keys, which I will try to remember to take a pic of to show on here and I have made quite a few decorations. Still got to make some sweet holders and gift bags/boxes and calendars, oh and my own chrsitmas cards to sell at the fayre lol, so think I might just be busy for the next week! I have to have the Santa's Grotto decorated by the 8th of Dec and all my cards and gifts made by the 1oth so not much time and so much still to do!
I am still looking for large snowflakes to hang from the roof (and for some other projects at the school) but I'm having trouble finding any. I only have a small snowflake punch so it's not any use. We need some large snowflakes (between approx 4" and 6") and also some smaller ones, so think I will have to keep looking for ones I can buy already cut (any ideas?) Only problem with that is that we are on a really tight budget so I have to find some that are really cheap. Failing that, I will have to cut them by hand and to be honest I don't think there is any chance of me getting that done any time soon lol.
Well that's all my news. I hope you are all having a great weekend and hope my American friends had a great Thanksgiiving.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Digital Tuesday DT card
It's my turn to host this weeks over at Digital Tuesday and the theme this week is "Thank You".
Penny from Penny's Creations is sponsoring us this week and offering the winner her 5 digi images.
She was also kind enough to give the design team 2 of her images to use for the challenge.
I used her Bear With Sign image and just printed him straight onto some Kraft cardstock and printed him out again on white card then cut out just his sign, inked over it with some distress ink and added a SU! sentiment. I also inked around the edge of the bear and coloured his nails with a brown copic.
The lovely paper is from Stampin Up. The brown piece is the reverse of the stripey one.
The swirls were punched with an All Night Media swirl punch. It is just a single swirl punch but I used 2 together to make a little flourish kind of thing. Flower is a Prima and the button is from a bag that the lovely Stef sent me. (thanks hun, they have came in sooo handy, mmwahh)
This is a lot simpler than most of my cards and I didn't really colour anything but it's nice to have a change and I need to start doing simple quick cards for Christmas so I can get a lot more made, so this was good practice. Not sure if I like it but I love those SU! papers. They are from one of the speciality packs (I think) and are much thicker than their normal ones and they also have a textured feel to them. I got these last month and this is the first time I have used them because the colours haven't went with any of the cards I have been making lately, but now I have opened the pack I think you will be seeing a lot more of them :)
Well I hope you are all having a great day. It's pouring of rain here again so looks like it's going to be a crafty day in for me...yay :) but tonight Liam is doing a break dancing performance at Aberdeen's Lemon Tree so I have to go pick him up when that's finished. I really want to go to see him performing but all the tickets are sold out :( We only found out this morning that he was getting to perform as he was off lessons for 2 weeks when he had tonsillitis so his tutor didn't think he would be able to do the performance because he had missed learning some of the routines, but he went to his last lesson and managed to learn everything he had missed and done it so well that his tutor said he could go after all. But I phoned this morning for tickets and they are all sold out. The woman at the box office has been trying for over an hour to see if she could get me tickets (which was really nice of her. she even worked over her normal shift so she could keep phoning to try get me tickets), but she couldn't get through on the phone to the place that the performance is being held, so she has gave me the number so I can try myself later.
Keep your fingers crossed for me! Hope someone who has tickets is ill and can't go lol, then I will be able to get their seat :)
If I do manage somehow to get tickets, I will take lots of picks so you can see my little break dancer in action lol. I haven't even seen him do it myself and this is his first performance, so I will be really gutted if I can't go.
Until then though, I'm off to make some Christmas cards while I only have one kid at home and she's sitting watching Mr Maker (a kiddies arts and crafts thing on the telly).

Cute Daisy May DT and a challenge
I'm really late posting my DT card today, been at the kids school all day getting some decorations made for the school fayre.and forgot to post it when I got home. I found some nice snowflake decorations that were easy to make on the internet the other day so I made some of those. Will show pics of them another time though.
I still need to make loads of stuff and do lots more cards but at least I have started now.
The challenge over at Cute Daisy May this week is "Red Christmas", so that's one more made for the Christmas box :)
I entering this card to Stampin For The Weekend as I followed their sketch.
I made this card at the last minute last night and took the pic before the twinklets had dried properly, so the flower doesn't look so white anymore, you can see the red a bit more through the twinklets.
The papers are Stampin Up and the scallopedoval is a digi element by Summer Driggs.
The sweet image is of course a Cute Daisy May and I paper pieced her clothes. AfterI had cut her clothes out, I stamped over them with an Anna Griffin backgrouns stamp with Versamark and heat embossed with vlear embossing powder. I also stamped some tiny snowflakes on her jacket with some distress ink, but you can't realyy see any of that in the pic. It looks nice irl though. Gives it a bit of texture and make her clothes look like they have a subtle pattern. The rest of the image is coloured with Copics.
The sentiment is a chipboard embelishment that I bought last year but can't remember where and the ribbon, spacer, brad and pearls are all from my stash.
Well I'm off now in search of some large snowflake shapes for the Christmas Fayre.
