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…
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…
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…
Polka Dot Frenzy!
Love.Love.Love anything ‘dotty’, so when I saw that the Lawnscaping Challenge was having a Polka Dot Frenzy Challenge, I lept in… spots and all! AND then I made a totally different card… I didn’t like the first one, so now here…
Sweet Birthday!
The Tuesday Trigger this week was Royally Sweet! I couldn’t resist repeating the swirl pattern that was iced onto the cake, it looks sooo yummy! I also sat down to have a ‘nice cuppa tea’ while I made the card. When…
Bee Happy!
I decided to combine these two challenges in the one post as the cards I made are very similar. I was playing with the May ‘freebie’, yes you heard me right, it was a free digi image from Paper Smooches & just…
Just because it’s ‘In Bloom’
The team from The Play Date Cafe have created yet another fantasmagorical challenge, dontcha just adore this colour inspiration!! I used my ‘new‘ Memento Dew Drops colours (12 glorious colours in one handy pack), it’s great not to be limited…
CAS-ual Friday… on Sunday?
Don’t you LOVE to find a new challenge site! Ooooh and it’s one sooo suited to me and my ‘default‘ CAS style. It’s called CAS-ual Fridays and this week it’s buttons & twine… so I got out the biggest brightest button I could find…
Skirting the Issue!
I just adore Cath’s Tuesday Trigger this week, Skirting the Issue. I decided to focus on the colours and for some reason I didn’t want too many layers on the card either. I am also enjoying colouring with pencils at the…
Sweet Sundaes!
Can I tell you something funny? The other day I was sitting at my desk making cards (yes, I know that’s hard to believe!) and my husband was sitting talking to me and says with a most serious face “haven’t…
