Smile

I adore this weeks inspiration at CASE Study from Dawn Woleslagle and couldn’t resist pairing it with the current colour challenge at the Play Date Cafe. It’s easy to see where I was inspired by Dawn’s card! This would have to be…

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…

Whale of a Birthday!

Another nautical card… obviously it’s a new trend that I missed, again! This time it’s Jay Gee’s Nook Challenge, totally rad inspiration! I chose the whale (see the stuffed toy in the top right hand corner), I’ve had this stamp for a little…

You’re a Star!

I have very limited options on the ‘nautical’ front, so decided to paper piece a boat. I took my inpsiration from one very talented lady, Jenny at Crafting in the Country, where I was inspired by this card! This is my entry for…

A Challenge Birthday!

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…

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…

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…

I embraced the current Embellish Magazine Crochet Trim Color Trends Challenge, that is, I drove down the street to buy some crochet trim only to come home and change my mind to use the one that I already had… work…
