Welcome Mitchell
This is an order for a new proud grandmother. I stayed with the traditional baby blue colours and kept it pretty using the Lawn Fawn – Plus One stamps. The Less is More Challenge this week invites us to use…

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…
Be Happy!
I thought the colours of this weeks Play Date Cafe Challenge definitely leant toward a masculine card. So I had a look through my stamps and this is what I came up with. Hope you like it! Supplies; Paper: A4…
Lullaby?
I kinda took a different approach to this weeks Tuesday Trigger: Lovely as a Lullaby. There really is no lullaby, but I think it’s lovely anyway. I was inspired by the colour combination, polkadots & stripes. I’ve been watching all…
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…
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!…
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…
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…
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…
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…
I {heart} stamps!
So I went to my very first Copic class the other day, and now I feel the need to top up on a few more colours (have you seen all the new ones)… but so far I’m resisting! I am trying…
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…
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…
Mother’s Day
I would just like to share the card I made for my mother this year. I couldn’t post it any earlier as she is one of my biggest fans, as I am one of hers! She is the most amazing…
Bring on the happy!
Here is another A5 card (you know those ones that feel as though they are a 12″ layout to fill). This is a retirement card for one of my husbands work colleagues, so I thought that the sentiment fit perfectly. …
