Lots of Hugs
This is my entry for the current CASE Study Challenge where the Muse is Mercy Kerin. I kept it simple and bright with flowers, butterflies & bling… all the good things! Supplies; Paper: A4 White Cardstock, Bazzill – Forget-me-not,…
Goodbye
I’m not saying goodbye, this is yet another farewell card! This is my entry for Jay Gee’s Nook current inspiration challenge, just love those colours! While I’ve got your attention I would just like to let you know that I…
Get Well Soon
I always delay making male cards for as long as possible – but when I think about it they are quite simple. Maybe it’s the lack of glitter, butterflies, flowers, bows… the things that find their way onto most of…
For You…
Here is another card for one of our staff who is leaving to work in another department. I have used the Card Positioning Systems Sketch #199 which I thought looked like fun when I saw it, but I have to…
Simple Flower
So I am back for the last Caardvarks Challenge – to make a monochromatic card (couldn’t resist). So I used some inspiration from the current Clean & Simple Layout. It’s a good place to go when the mojo is low, the FTL…
Christmas Wreath
Here’s wishing you a wonderful Christmas & a happy holiday season. I’d just like to take a moment to thank you for all of your kind comments & support on my new blog. I have met so many wonderful & talented…
Thank You Butterflies
So I needed a quick Thank You card… and of course there was not one in my stash. I’ve had an idea in my head and was inspired by the CASE Study Challenge (loved Nina’s black & white butterfly) as…
Congratulations!
I am a sucker for bright colours, so when I saw the new Play Date Cafe Challenge I knew it was for me! I have also gotta be in the Glitter is Glam Challenge in the Moxie Fab World… loving those…
Red & White
So it’s time for more challenges & this time the theme seems to be Red & White. So I thought I would stay away from the Xmas theme (I need a change). I just adore this stamp set from PTI…
Lacey Flowery Thing
This is sooo out of my comfort zone that it’s funny! Thanks for the great challenge CASE Study. And a special thanks to the new Muse Nina Brackett. How comes everyone else makes vintage look so easy… everytime I tried to…
Forever Friends
This is my entry to the current Ribbon Girl Blog Colour Challenge. I thought this was going to be a lttle more subtle… but the end result never quite turns out like the inital vision. Supplies; Paper: A4 White Cardstock, Xpress It…
Birthday Bird Banner!
Fancy having a birthday soooo close to Xmas… mine is conveniently located in the middle of the year. I have quite a few family & friends who celebrate their birthdays in December & January including my nephew who is getting…
Funky Flower
Happy Sunday! I’m enjoying a relaxing Sunday off work…. yaaay, looking after my poor husband who is currently suffering manflu… not so yaay. It’s a terrible disease which stops absolutely everything in their lives for at least 3 days. I…
Poppy Background Thanks
So here are a couple of different versions of the what is essentially the same card. I just had to have this Heros Arts Poppy Background Stamp when I saw what Tami Hartley had done with it at the Hero Arts Blog. …
Cricket Birthday
So I’ve been making a birthday card for a friend’s son, and the theme was cricket…. If I get stuck for an idea I usually go cruise around splitcoast stampers where there is masses of inspiration. I could not find one…
Craig is 44!
So here it is… last year I made a birthday card for my brother. I thought I was being very clever & made a single layer stamped, copic coloured image. (A very stressful thing to do… no room for error!). My…
Time for tea?
This is my entry for the Play Date Cafe Challenge, I have to say that I saw these colours & thought that this would be a difficult mix and then I thought ‘Toughen up… I’m in!’. I was also wanting…
Butterfly Thanks
This is my entry for the current Scrapbook Boutique Challenge. The challenge is to use at least 2 butterlies on a card… this is perfect, I just love butterflies! And just for fun I thought I would keep it nice…
A Pink Seal?
This is my entry for the current CASE Study Challenge #13. I thought I would add a little animal act to the challenge although… I don’t think seals are usually bright pink! I just love Heather Pulvirenti’s cards and it great…
