Friday Sketchers - One for the Boys

I don't think we see enough cards for boys so here's my entry for Friday Sketchers. The sketch this week is clean and simple and perfect for a footy card which always goes down well.

Thanks for looking.

Colour Create #5 - Orange, Yellow and Green

When I saw this colour combo from Colour Create, flowers were crying out to me. This is the first time I have used this stamp from Little Claire Designs and I really like it. You can get a great 3D effect.

Hope the sun is shinning where you are. Thanks for looking.

Penny Black - 3-2-1

Hello everyone,

Back for another Penny Black Challenge and I thought I would make a start on my Easter cards, last year I ended up buying them. I have used 'Bunny Kiss!, another bargain stamp from the Stevenage show. I have cheated a bit with this challenge as I have used 4 brads instead of 3, I totally forgot about the brad in the centre of the flower. The papers are from one of my favourite collections from Kaboodle Doodle.

Have a great weekend and thanks for looking.

Sketch and Stash #5 - New Home

I needed a new home card for a family member and this sketch from Sketch and Stash was perfect. All old stash today. The stamp used is an oldie from Pulling on the Glitz and I have used some of my old papers from a Hot off the Press stack. Even the key was bought many moons ago.

Thanks for looking.

Colour Create #5

Baby cards are always useful so here's my entry for this weeks Colour Create, which is to use brown and blue. I have used stampin-up chocolate chip as a backing but unfortunately it has come out quite dark and looks black. I thought I would keep it simple to show off the cute stamp which is in the Forever Friends range.

Thanks for looking and happy stamping.

Colour Create #4

What a lovely colour combo from Colour Create this week, which is Pink and Grey. I love these two colours together. I have made a card very similar to one that I created for Stamp Addicts' recent 'Judith' TV show, check out Sarah's blog here for more card ideas from the design team..

Enjoy your week and thanks for looking.

Penny Black week 36 - Here's to Carbs!

Hi there, Happy Valentines Day. Don't the weeks just fly by, have not posted much this week but found time this morning to do the Penny Black Challenge. A lovely sketch from Nat so here's my entry. I did add a Happy Birthday to the top right hand corner as my card did not look colour balanced. Hope that OK.

Thanks for looking

Colour Create #2

Loving the new Colour Create Challenge, really makes you think. Anyway, here's my entry for this week, the colour theme is Peach and Aqua with an added option of DIY flowers, not shop bought. I have made my paper flowers and I first saw these done on Julie Buhler's blog. The centre brads were a gift from Glenda (Aardvarkpest).

Thanks for looking.
