Dotty Birthday

Card number two for today, which seems to have taken ages to finish - I just couldn't find the right embellishments, so I made my own in the end but I'm still not sure....

Card is Papermania, papers are Basic Grey, the image is Birgitta from CC Designs, border punch is Martha Stewart and sentiment is Sizzix.

I'm entering this card into 3 challenges;

1. Sketch Saturday #76 - Sketch

2. Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #57 - Easel cards

3. Crafty Catz #7 - Going dottie!

Christmas Cats

I've just realised its been about a week since I last posted! Sorry about that folks. I really enjoyed doing this card as its my favourite colour combo for Christmas cards and I just love using Mo's digi stamps, they are the best.

I've used blue glitter card, pearl card embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. The snowflakes are cut from metal foil with a Sizzix die. The circles are cut with nesties and the adorable cats are from Mo's Digital Pencil.

I'd like to enter it into 6 challenges
1. Friday Sketchers #77 - Sketch
2. Colour Create #31 - Blue, Silver & White
3. Tanda Teaser #122 - Metallize
4. Mo's Digital Pencil #5 - All that glitters
5. Susie's Sassy Challenge #1 - Christmas Card
6. Allsorts Challenge #26 - Bring out your bling

Trick or Treat

Yes I know halloween was yesterday but this card is for a few challenges I really wanted to do so it will be put away for next year.

1. Sketch Saturday #75 - Sketch & Halloween.
2. Saturday Challenge #56 - Halloween.
3. Mo's Digital Pencil #4 - Fancy Folds.

I've used one of Mo's excellent digi stamps coloured with PMs (note to self need a darker grey!). All card is Papermania and the sentiments are hand written. This was my first easel card but definitely not my last, they are so simple to do.

White Wedding

I've just managed the one card today, for two challenges
1. Penny Black Saturday Challenge 73 White on White
2. Allsort Challenge #25 Weddings

I really struggled with this as I only have one set of Penny Black clear stamps and I didn't have a great selection of white card or paper either! But I was quite pleased with it in the end. Although the theme was weddings I thought it could also be used for anniversaries or even new babies.

Apologies

Apologies to anyone who is looking at my blog and notices it keeps changing! I'm trying to decide on a new design, so please bear with me - I will decide eventually :-)

Hugs & Kisses

Tonights effort is for a few challenges, firstly Passion for Promakers Week 23 which is any colours and a theme of animals, also with a theme of 'Furry Friends' is Allsorts Challenge 24. Next is Truly Scrumptious #19 with a sketch and a recipe of 3 flowers, 3 brads and 3 gems/pearls. Last but not least is Tanda Teaser #121 which is 'Kind Thoughts' and what could be kinder than sending hugs and kisses!

Cardstock and flowers are Papermania, patterned paper and brads are Basic Grey and the amazing digi stamp is from Mo's Digital Pencil which is coloured with PMs (what else!)

Autumn Splendor

I've been looking for an excuse to use these gorgeous papers from Basic Grey for ages and this weeks challenge at There's Magic in the Air gave me the ideal opportunity. The challenge was to use the free Autumn Splendor image and take inspiration from a lovely photo of some autumn leaves, hence the reds and oranges I've used

I'm also entering this card into two other challenges, Cupcake Challenge #63 for the sketch and Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #30 which is to create an autumn themed project using traditional autumn colours and include some stamping (I stamped the leaves).
