Thinking of you

So the second birthday challenge for AnnaBelle Stamps is simply ‘Blooms’.  This is super easy but as I don’t have any of their stamps (yet…) for some reason I just had to use my Stampendous Ranunculus, one of my fave for blooms.   Watch…

Stuck on You!

I haven’t used stickers for years and now I’m making another card using these wonderful images from Penny Black from the deep dark depths of my stash!  Thank you CAS-ual Fridays for helping me to remember there are so many…

Girly & Gutsy Trigger!

Seems to be my favourite trick at the moment, leaving things til the last minute.  Here I go again….    I was inpsired by this weeks Girly & Gutsy Tuesday Trigger by the name, I couldn’t help but join a challenge…

Special Day

So here is another double challenge, are you ready for it!!  It definitely had to be purple so that I could join Jay Gee’s purple inspiration and what better purple than a shiny embossed one!  So that brings me to the second challenge…  …

True Friend

How could I resist this weeks CASE Study where the challenge is to CASE one of Iwona’s cards!  They have been celebrating all month, Happy Anniversary CASE!   Honestly Iwona’s cards are so AMAZING it was hard to choose just one!   So as I was scrolling…

Just Saying Hello!

So I’ve been playing with my new JUMBO stamp again for the Scrapbook Boutique Blog (visit here for the tutorial).   This time I went for a tone on tone effect but to add a little more depth I did do some shading with Copics.  And there…

Monochrome Thanks

I have made this card in approximately 10 minutes which would have to be a ‘world‘ record for me!  I desperately wanted to join the Less Is More Challenge this week as I suffer with ink phobia (I’m a real…

Poppies

How soothing is it to be sitting here colouring and listening to Ministry of Sound Chillout…  life is perfect!  And guess what, I actually should be making another card (for an order, no worries… it’ll happen).  But how could I resist…

Sending Hugs!

Here is my entry for the current Tueday Trigger : Luminos Layers!  What a fabulous inspiration from Cath this week.  I thought that I would incorporate all those wonderful patterns and colours and the ‘flowing layers’ kinda reminded me of butterflies, so…

Merci Beaucoup

This is what you call a JUMBO stamp, it’s absolutely wonderful and so totally versatile.  I love it when I can look at a stamp and pretty much already see the cards I’m going to make, that’s when I know…

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…

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…

Happy Thoughts!

This is a card I made for the Scrapbook Boutique Blog.  I had so much fun using all these wonderful products!   These flowers are totally funky (and not expensive either).  Evelyn has such a large range of products online, just go visit her…

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…

Lotus Splash

Hands up who loves new stamps!  I know I do, and guess what arrived in my mailbox last week, this new Hero Arts background stamp, and it is totally awesome!!  So of course it came in handy for the Play…

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…

Born to fly!

Actually I thought this sentiment was funny…  well, when it’s teamed with a bumble bee that is!  Another great set of colours this week from The Play Date Cafe team, Eggplant, Fuschia and Orangesicle!   I’m going to keep it short…

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…
