the perfect pear!

So I have left it to the wire again, but I was determined to join this weeks Less Is More Challenge where the theme is Feeling Fruity!  I could only find one fruit stamp and it’s part of a wonderful…

Love

I thought I would share something personal with you…  today is our 20th wedding anniversary.   Life has been easy as I married the most wonderful man, he is kind, thoughtful and generous, and I’m really looking forward to the next 20!  …

Just Because it’s Botanicals!

It doesn’t get more CAS than this, and I am totally loving all that ‘white’ space…   well it’s actually kinda ‘blue’ space, but you know what I mean.   I have had my eye on the Fanatical about Botanical Challenge in…

Buttons anyone!

So I’ve delayed entering the current Less is More Challenge because I couldn’t decide which way to go with the card, and now with only a few hours until the deadline, I didn’t want to miss out!  I have had…

Jungle Fever

So… who else went to the very depths of their stash for this CAS-ual Fridays challenge?  I found things I forgot I had, who would have thought that!  When I stumbled accross these wonderful stickers from Penny Black (that I bought…

It’s a Chick thing!

Have you noticed I’ve been a bit ‘Krafty’ lately?  I can’t help myself, I’m addicted…   again!  As you can probably tell I finally have some more Lawn Fawn stamps (I’ll back off the baby cards for the moment).  This is…

Another Shower!

I’ve been thinking about this weeks Tuesday Trigger – Perty & Flirty…    and and in the end decided I would include the background as well as that gorgeous yellow!  I have another baby shower this Friday (hope it’s not conatagious) and…

Double the Challenge!

So I’ve had this idea in my mind for a few days and have finally put it ‘to card’!    I have combined the current Lily Pad colour challenge (how cute are those Tickled Pink Stamps!) with the Less Is…

Sweets & Treats

CAS-ual Fridays is having a Sweets & Treats Challenge, what a fabulous inpiration.  I’m totally into paper piecing at the moment, and loving it!  I think I forgot about it for a while there….  Anyway the ‘sweet thing’ I went…

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,…

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…

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…

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…
