Born to fly!
Actually I thought this sentiment was funny… well, when it’s teamed with a bumble bee that is! Another great set of colours this week from The Play Date Cafe team, Eggplant, Fuschia and Orangesicle! I’m going to keep it short…

Sssshhh!
A one layer card, check! Something with legs, check! Looks like I’m ready to join this weeks Less Is More challenge (and only just in time too). Well actually it took me longer to decide exactly which legs to use,…
Welcome Mitchell
This is an order for a new proud grandmother. I stayed with the traditional baby blue colours and kept it pretty using the Lawn Fawn – Plus One stamps. The Less is More Challenge this week invites us to use…
A Challenge Birthday!
How could I resist this weeks Play Date Cafe Challenge when the colours are called Redish Orange, Yucky Yellow & Juniper! I combined it with this weeks CASE Study Challenge where the muse is still the amazing Jill Foster. Just…
Enjoying Sweet Threads
I decided to join Scrapbook Boutique’s colour challenge, where they always find the most gorgeous cupcake inspirations… I want to know where that shop is! To make the background subtle so I overlayed it with vellum, I’m not sure if…
Just Because!
I can often struggle with a sketch as inspiration, I am definitely a ‘colour’ girl. But I just love this weeks inspiration from Less is More, I just had to join in the fun! Supplies; Paper: A4 White Hopsack Cardstock,…
baby
I have been moving stamps around this card for a while now and decided finally… just to make it! This is based on the current sketch from Lawnscaping challenge, and is also heading it’s way to the Beautiful Borders Challenge…
Wishing you…
One of my work mates is heading for 50, and she’s celebrating with a ‘black & white’ party, so why not make a matching birthday card! I wanted to join CASE Study Challenge this week where the Muse is the amazingly talented…
Be Happy!
I thought the colours of this weeks Play Date Cafe Challenge definitely leant toward a masculine card. So I had a look through my stamps and this is what I came up with. Hope you like it! Supplies; Paper: A4…
Lullaby?
I kinda took a different approach to this weeks Tuesday Trigger: Lovely as a Lullaby. There really is no lullaby, but I think it’s lovely anyway. I was inspired by the colour combination, polkadots & stripes. I’ve been watching all…
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…
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…
