Cards for boys are always hard aren't they? Even the boys cards I make I wonder if any boy would actually like them or if they are still a bit too cute! Anyway here is one I like even if no boy would like it :) This is for A Spoon Full of Sugar which this week has a wonderful sketch from Debbie.

Fast Recovery

So here we are again - able to blog properly since we have a new computer - a challenge submission for the Funky Fairy's Challenge Blog which has a Get Well Soon theme.

Having recently done the whole hospital and recovery thing I worked my way through a number of puzzle books to pass the time so thought that a little 'Recovery Pack' filled with puzzle books would be perfect :)

I've made a box from cardstock and decorated it with stamping and Funky Fairy's papers. The pack can fit two books and a pencil and is secured with ribbon wrapped around buttons sewn into the card. It was great fun to do :) It is good to be back.

Slumber party

Colouring: Watercolour pencils and Marvy Le plume pens
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Ink Weathered Wood; Faber-Castell Sepia Artist pens; Sakura White

Brown and Turquoise Combo

Here is a card using Brown and Turquoise, one of my favourate colour combinations. The card uses the fab sketch from Katharina's Creative Place and I thought I would also use some check paper which is the theme over at A Spoon Full Of Sugar. The stamp is a Sugar Nellie from the Little Cotton Rabbits Range and one of my favourates. The papers were free from Papercraft essentials.

Summer Birthdays

Hot Summer colours for this one. A birthday card for a summer birthday and also for a challenge here and there. This one uses inspiration from Cute Card Thursday which has a birthday theme, then there is the 'Hot' theme from Papertake Weekly and Tag You're It have a Tag in a pocket Theme. The weird thing is I had already decided on the design of this card with the Tag and pocket idea and then it pops up as the theme at Tag You're It. How spooky is that? :)



So the papers come from freebies from Papercraft essential, I've cut out all the flowers so that I could re-arrange them on the page. The stamp is Chef Hamish from Sugar Nellie coloured with watercolour pens. The sentiment is written in the flower using a white Sakura pen.

Lemon and Lime

Celebrating a new birth in Lemon and Lime - what do you think? This card was made for the following challenges: the celebration theme from A Spoon Full of Sugar, the great sketch from Friday Sketchers, Baby theme on Thank God it's Friday and the new challenge blog This Thursday It's About which is starting with the theme 'Fresh'.


So this card uses free papers from Papercraft Essentials, Sugar Nellie Little Cotton Rabbits stamp coloured with watercolour pencils, DCWV card stock and then some fiskers embossing plates to emboss the rectangular yellow card. Some little doodling on the edges to finish the card. You know I still haven't worked out the best light to use to get a good photo.....

I've been sampled twice for this one. Thanks Guys :) This Thursday, It's All About and Thank God It's Friday.

Coaster...

Sweet Sugar Challenges has a great challenge to make something other than a card with Sugar Nellie stamps. So I decided to have a go at a coaster for cups :) So patterned paper has been layered onto a circular piece of chipboard and then sealed with a varnish (to waterproof it a bit). It was fun to do.

Pure Sugar

I'm In Love. I'm in Love with the Sugar Nellie stamps. I was really naughty and ordered two from Funky Kits :) I just could not resist. Here is Chef Hamish and I thought I would enter him into the Cute Card Thursday Challenge this week which has a patterned paper theme and a chance to win fab pattern paper downloads from Kaboodle Doodles.
