Wedding Card

Once again I would like to say a big thank you to all who have left such lovely messages for Abbie.She seems much better again today and is outside playing in the garden with her brother. So finally I have managed to make a card, she went down pretty early last night and I managed to get this card made for a friend of mine. I was really stuggling at first as I didnt have any suitable stamps, but then I remembered the cute FF decoupage that I have have left from when I did the demo for the shop. This is what I came up with, it is a trifold card.




The papers are from the Paperpermania Signautre range and are called Regency Hill, FF decoupage all matted and layered using Nesties, Poppicraft flowers, Anitas gem stones and a couple of Doodlebug sugar coated brads, the sentiments are computer generated and the ribbon from stash.

Signs of spring

The theme over at CCT this week is signs of spring, what an excuse to use one of my new PB stamps. I thought these cute little rabbits really echoed that theme. I used some fab flowery paper from a Papermania easter pack and added some lovely spring colour flowers to finish off.



Image is Penny Black, Papermania paper & sticker sentiment, Doodlebug paper frill, ribbon bow & buttons from stash.

Mojo Monday wk 69

Last card from me tonight, I just wanted to get the sketch for Mojo Monday in before it was too late. I have gone a bit more grown up with this card, and have chosen an image from one of the fabulous Kerry Jo sketches. Ran into a slight mishap though and punched the circle slightly to the right to much so have tried to balance the left side out with the 3 flowers (hope this has worked). I also got to use my fabby new Fiskars lace punch I really really want a MSDP but this will have to do, however my gorgeous daddy has just ordered one off ebay for me and is paying for it for my birthday (which isnt till April) so I cant have it till then. We call my dad 'The Ebay King' as he has a shop on there and buys and sells collectable Vintage Corgi Cars and Icons, he has a massive collection of them worth a fortune and Oli loves to go round there and look at them. So whenever I want anything off ebay dads the man in the know!!.

The backing paper is Doodlebug, with Bazzill Bling cardstock punched with Fiskars lace border punch. Kerry Jo image, Prima flowers with Papermania pearl brads and Craftwork Cards oval sentiment.

The inside

Again Doodlebug paper, Bazzill Bling cardstock, Prima flower with PM pearl brad and HOTP card quote.

Happy Birthday Brother

This is the card I have finally made for my brother on his birthday. Now I know its not the usual male type cards that you would normally see, but believe me my brother will love this. Now as the theme for the party is Purple & White I have tried to incorporate these colours into the card. He loves fairies which is why I have opted for the funky fairy.



The image is Kerry Jo, papers are DCWV all dressed up, Doodlebug paper frill down RH side, gorgeous flowers from Poppicrafts which Dovecraft gem brad. Calendar page made on computer.

New Baby Girl

I made a couple of cards (about a week ago I think) for my niece who was about to give birth anyday. Well she had the baby on Fri a whopping 9lb 11oz and she has called her Tallia-Lei. I am off to see her tomorrow and cant wait to have a cuddle. She had a bit of a tough time in labour, and apparently it was a bit touch and go, but she managed to have her naturally in the end and all is now fine with mom and baby. My poor niece she is only 17 (I know dont say anything) and it must have been pretty scary for her, but my sis was with her all the time its amazing what you can do with the strength of you monm beside you. Anyway the cards I did make for her have been stolen off me by my mother as she fell in love with them and wanted to give her them herself. So I have had to make another one today, so here is my offering to her.



The papers are DCWV Nanas Nursery, Image is Tilda with Tingla, Prima flowers, Doodlebug sugar coated brads, Basic Grey Sugar rub-on and ribbon from stash. Hope she likes.

Secret Crafter Challenge No 6 meets Magnolia V Stampavie

This card combines 2 challenges, Sketch no 6 by Wendy over on the Secret Crafter challenge blog and Week 2 in the Magnolia V Stampavie challenge blog. Which this week is Clean & Simple "A nice clean simple stream line look & no more than 3 colours".



I chose to put these 2 together as I felt that the Secret Crafter sketch fitted in the lines of clean & simple. As you can see the colours I have used are Red, Yellow & Blue (the little flower). Now I wasnt sure about whether hair colour counts so I hope not. Also the stem on the flower is green (do you think I am gonna get away with that cause I could always say blue & yellow = green).
Papers are Doodlebug, Image is Magnolia Tilda with flower, Core'dinations cardstock & PM rub on sentiment.

Spoonfull of Sugar Challenge 4/11 meets Papertake 3/11

I have only just found the Spoon Full of Sugar challenge blog so this is the first time I have entered it. This week you had to follow a sketch. For my card I decided to rotate the card and use a DL blank. I have also decided to use this for the Papertake Weekly Challenge as well with the theme simply sparkle, which IU have done with the sparkly brads and backing paper. I sold some cards this week so had a little shopping trip to my new found shop and brought another 2 PB's, another jar of Prima Flowers and some brads. So I decided to use one of my new stamps for this challenge.




Papers are DCWV Nana's Nursery, PB stamp, Prima flowers, Doodlebug sparkly brads, the slits in the corner have been made with a Dovecraft corner punch.

Mojo Monday wk 59

I loved the sketch over at Mojo Monday this week as its just the sort I like, Clean, simple & not too fussy. As you can see I am still loving my PB Ginger stamp which I used as the image on this card as I thought it fitted in with the rectangle.

I decided to go with quite a bright colour scheme with this one with gave me that chance to use my new Basic Grey papers Offbeat collection. The image is PB Ginger, prima flowers, Doodlebug sparkly brads, Crafty Bits handbag charm & Papermania rub ons for the sentiment.

Cute Card Thursday (Drinks)

I made this card for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge, the theme being drinks and not just alcoholic ones. I didnt think I had anything in my stash, then I received a fab wallet card and images from a lovely lady on the docrafts forum. One of the images was of these 2 cute cats reading their books with a mug of steaming (hot choc). I thought it was perfect and so this is what I made with it.

The background paper is DCWV Christmas Mat Stack, Anitas silver christmas ribbon, Core'dinations cardstock & Doodlebug sugar coated brads.
