penny black and sketch saturday

The challenge this week over on the penny black challenge blog is THINK SPRING. Well when i think of spring i get yellow in my mind. I had to make a thank you card for someone so when i seen this and the fabby sketch over on sketch Saturday i thought I'd combine the 2 challenges into one. I used the message from above stamp and lots of yellow.the sketch had lots of circle on it so i used a cuttlebug embossing folder and added flowers so i hope it still counts.

i hope everyone is OK and enjoying the weekend.

sketch saturday

i'm back again this time with the sketch saturday challenge, again another fabby sketch i'm so loving these at the moment. for this one i used my neglected Kerry jo stamps out off all of them i think this is my fav. She is coloured in using pro markers. the flowers again of cricut and cuttlebug.

penny black challenge

I hope everyone out there is ok, I've had a lazy weekend and done nothing really, apart from this morning i went to cheshire oaks to the paper mill shop, because i realised i only had 4 pieces of white card left and how long would that last me, so my hubby took me and my son and when we got there matty my eldest gave me the money to buy some new stamps, i got the Claire curd stampin chic party set and the sentiments set, thanks mat.

it's a sketch this week which i love doing. i used the cat in the tulips stamp,the scalloped edged papers looks like the treading water border punch but it's not i used a pair of fancy scissors and my cropadile, i think it works well. the papers and ribbon are from my stash the flowers were again cut on my cricut then embossed on the cuttlebug.

engagement card

afternoon all, this is a card my boss asked me to make for her niece who has just got engaged, i wanted it to be young and funky because the happy couple are in thier early 20's, anyway i started one didin't like it, then another that ended up in the bin, after a bit of blog hopping i spotted a card on vikki's blog and thought that's it. so here is the result. tilda and edwin are coloured in with pro markers and all the shapes and letters have been cut on my cricut. i took it into work this morning and she loved it said it was the best one i had done for her, i was one happy bunny.

colour create challenge

two posts in one day i'm getting good. this challenge really got me thinking it was to make anything other than a card so i changed an empty persil tub into a lovely box for my cuttlebug folders. And of course i used tilda again, i do love this one it was in a wallet off the lovely alex. the papers are from my stash cant remember the name of it sorry.

Truly Scrumptious challenge

Morning all, well things here have got so much better we can finally put the last few weeks behind us now and look forward to the future. thank you all for the messages ect it meant a lot to me. right onto the card then, i hope this counts as an entry because i haven't used an image on it. i really love how this turned out though( been a long time since i made a card with no stamped image on it). the papers are basic grey so is the swirl, lace from my stash, the buttons i made using little dome stickers i found in the bottom of a box i made the holes with my cropadile.

i must say i love this sketch and will deffo use it again. thanks for the challenge girls look forward to the next one.
