Some Fab News For Me...

I made it onto the Sassy Crafts DT for the next 6 months. I'm very happy and very excited. Just calming down enough to post this card for this week's Friday Sketchers :) Made with my new limitless limbs (ok so there are some more cards cued up with this stamp!) Thought that I would do some thank you cards as a break from Christmas cards.

New Home Card

Hey all, How you all doing? I've made a New Home card with the fab sketch on the Friday Sketchers blog and for once I've done it at the beginning of the challenge rather than at the end :) As you can see I have used my Cuttlebug again - not that I'm totally obsessed with it or anything.

Christmas Cards Already?

Stamp - Personal Impressions
Paper - Funky Fairy
Others - Silver and blue card stock; Versacolor (Lapislazuli); Ranger's Stickles (Crystal and Waterfall); Paperchase ribbon

Day On The Beach

A day on the beach uses the great sketch from Friday Sketchers. I fancied doing a beach scene with a beach hut having been inspired by this lovely stamp with the basket full of picnic on the beach goodies :)

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.

Using Acetate

Wanted to try making a card using acetate rather than card stock for a change. Thought it might be interesting. The layout comes from Friday Sketchers challenge blog and I thought I would put it up on the Tanda Stamps circle and flowers challenge.

More challenge Cards

Here is another challenge card but this one is for two different challenges.

Friday Sketchers blog has a great sketch for their second challenge. Then Stamp Something has a little something to say 'Thank you' challenge.




So this card was put together in black, white, blue and green using papers from DCWV's All Dressed up stack and some hand drawn pictures - I don't have enough stamps so had to make do :) The flowers were made by sticking sellotape to the papers, stamping a flower with stazon, cutting the flower out and then soaking the paper off. The pattern from the paper stays on the sticky tape and you have a fab flower embellishment. The bird was finished off with some patterned paper for the wing and a pearl-like bead cut in half for an eye.
