2sketches4you Laura's challenge

Hi, as I said before I am quite enjoying attempting these challenges, and this one by Laura over at 2sketches 4 you has been great. Not sure I've done it justice but really enjoyed making the card. I used "Basic Grey" papers (Sultry), my "Cuttle Bug" (Swirls)and Adirondack ink (lettuce), ribbon from the stash., and a couple of eyelets.The "Thank You" was stamped using a Hobby Art stamp. I have tried the less is more approach???? See what you think???

Stamp Something Monochromatic Challenge

I think that I have the challenge bug now, two in one day!!!! This one is for the Stamp Something challenge, which is to make a monochromatic card. Something I have been wanting to try for a while but didn't dare. So this is my first attempt at keeping the colouring simple. I am quite pleased with the effect, I "Cuttle Bug"ed the back mount, then punched holes down one side with my crop-o-dile and tied white and black and white check ribbons through. Next I stamped "Daisy Squares" cut one out and mounted this on a white square of card stamped with "Happy Birthday"in black "Staz-on". Highlighhted the daisy with clear glaze and glittered the centre. Let me know what you think????

My Time to Craft Challenge & Cute Card Thursday

Saw these challenges and thought I would have a go. Not sure if I'm too late. but hey!! it's the taking part that counts, and any excuse to use the cuttle bug. I think I'm in love with it!!! Birds is the theme for the "My Time to Craft Challenge" challenge and Three embellishments is the Cute Card Thursday Challenge. This stamp is called "Four Little Birds", I coloured it using Marvey La Plume pens, scalloped the edges, and made the background using "Basic Grey" paper, and half Embossed with the "Cuttle bug"the tag is cut with the "Cuttle Bug"also, I just threaded a small piece of ribbon through and added a couple of paper clips. The small white dots around the picture are done using rub ons, (I hope these count as an embellishment???)Hope you like???

Cuttlebug

Hiya,

I am so excited, I have just purchased a cuttlebug!!!! Most of you will already know what this is, but if you are not sure take a look at the video clips on the left hand bar. I have seen some fantastic effects done using the embossing folders so now can't wait to receive mine. I have purchased it online, just now, 00.50 hrs. Now I'm off to bed, they say that it may take 2 working days to arrive, just wish it could be here tomorrow!!! I'll let you know how I get on with it. Nighty Night.

Pat's birthday

Another card I made today was one for my friend who is 70 this year, she is having a party later this month. As she is mad about shoes I thought my shoe stamps would be good, and another excuse to try the "Shabby Saturday" Hope she likes it!!!

Michaels birthday

Well, what a great day I've just had. My friend Sue and myself have had a play day. We both had cards to make so we got together at my house, drank coffee and tea, I made lunch and we made cards and nattered!!!
I have just downloaded "Shabby Saturday" from the Funky Hand site, you know how much I enjoy these papers, so what better excuse than to make my darling brother-in-law a birthday card. He owns a deli in Chorley Lancs. where he sells lots of Cup cakes so thought this would suite him. A little different from fishing, wine or football???
