Flower Garden

I have finally had a chance to play along with Jay Gee’s Nook Challenge.  Another gorgeous inspiration photo, with fab colours.  I actually found too many choices (nice), but finally settled on this card, which is obviously taken from that cute…

Celebrate Argyle!

This weeks CAS-ual Friday Challenge is to use Colour Blocks.  So I had a play and this is what  I came up with.  This is one of my favourite colour combinations… you may have noticed…    Mostly I just like…

Background Friend

What an amazing mix of colours at Embellish’s Current Challenge, Tina has outdone herself with the Inspiration photo this week, it’s just a massive big WOW!  Of course if it needs a background stamp my current favourite choice had to…

I’m Sew Excited!

I’m Sew Excited!  I’m joining the Challenge in the Moxie Fab World, really it’s just sew fantastic!!  (sorry, couldn’t resist)   When I saw these Dress Forms at Scrapmatts I knew they were just perfect for this challenge, then it was just…

XO Smooches

I saw the new Play Date Cafe colour challenge, bright and bold and I was in!  I know I’ve used my Paper Smooches stamps…  again, but they are just awesome and they stamp like a dream!  And…  they are fun!…

Just a Note

This week I couldn’t resist the Less is More Challenge, which was to make a One Layer Card – In the Frame!  So of course I kept it CAS, but had to add just a ‘bit of bling’!   Supplies; …

Friend in Gold!

I decided to play tic-tac-toe with CAS-ual Fridays current challenge.  And after just a little indecisiveness this is what I came up with.  I wanted to use these fabulous new ‘gold’ pearls that I discovered (ie. bought) at last weeks…

Woohooo!

I nearly didn’t finish this one (again)!   I really loved this weeks inspiration from the Play Date Cafe, to me the colours seem very vintagy (not my usual style… maybe that’s why I struggled).  I do LOVE my new Paper Smooches stamps…

Just Saying Hello ***

This is a card I forgot to share that was published in this month’s edition of Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft.  Doncha just LoVe these colours together!!  This is my first effort stamping directly onto felt, so why not use PTI’s fab…

Sweet Neapolitan

For this card I combined the Lawnscaping CAS Challenge with this weeks Tuesday Trigger : Cosmopolitan Neapolitan.  I was inspired by the neapolitan colours, of course, and icecream is ‘sweet’ and that’s what it says on my card…  there was some logic there…

Always Hero Arts!

I’ve been struggling with the current Embellish Magazine Challenge, and in the end I worked it out…  I don’t own any text stamps!   So I settled for text from a book (second best), but I did get to stamp though, using…

Plant Smiles!

I couldn’t let the week go by and not join in the fun at CAS-ual Friday!!  This week it’s a sketch…  they sure love to ‘mix-it-up’!  Well I’m up for it, and if you want to join in, you can find…

Enjoy Hero Arts!

I’m so very very strapped for time this weekend, but when my new Hero Arts stamps arrived yesterday (thank you soooo much PDCC!  Hero Arts even included the new 2011 catalogues, I was so excited!), I knew I had to join…

You’re in my thoughts – CSC42

Today I thought I’d have a bit of fun with ink…  and I definitely got it everywhere!  I am now walking around with green fingertips… but it could be worse, I could have glitter all over my face…  actually, I…

Congratulations!

I decided to incorporate two challenges in this one blog as the cards are very similar.  My first card is for the new CAS-ual Fridays blog challenge where the theme this week is Graduation, hard to believe we are in…

Enjoy Retro!

I know, I know, it’s my second post today…  but I couldn’t resist joining in this weeks Tuesday Trigger : The Pyrex Effect!  Cath always finds the most amazing triggers!!   I was inspired by the colour… of course… and the…

Live and Laugh!

I would like to firstly wish Sarah all the very best in her new adventure, she has been part of such a wonderful design team, it will be sad to her go.  I usually do love the colour splash challenges at The…

It’s a girl!

Well… at least my giraffe is a girl, you can tell because she is pretty in pink, ‘sweet blush’ to be exact!  I needed to make something ‘cute’, and this is what I came up with when I combined a…

Let’s Talk Banners!

How awesome is Lucy’s sketch in the new Lily Pad Cards Challenge!  I had a few ideas for this one but decided on simplicity in the end.  One of my fab blog friends inspired me with her red phone and…

Chevron Madness!

So I finally cut into a piece of paper that I have been ‘hoarding’ for a little while now…. how are those luscous bright chevron stripes, I nearly cried, but then I can now enjoy the card, and of course…  I…
