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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…

Hi again, I noticed that the Embellish Challenge has started and thought I would play along. This time it is a Color Trends Tags Challenge, which sounded like fun, until I tried to find a tag! I am also joining…
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…
I started making this card last week and kept putting it down… I just couldn’t make it work, my ‘vision’ wasn’t making it to the finished product. So now I only have a short time til the Embellish Magazine Square Cards Color…
