Hugs and Kisses

This is a freebie stamp from a magazine that I subscribe to. It also came with a 'Happy Easter' stamp that I haven't used on this card as I wanted to make the cards sentiment something other than Easter.

I also got the background paper free with the stamp. The greeting is a freebie from TLC Creations, she creates some lovely sentiments and is very generous with her freebies. Hope you like it?

Sketch Challenge C4C25

This is the card I have created using the sketch over on Crazy for Challenges Blog (C4C25) and the pink, yellow, green scheme over on Penny Black Saturday Challenge Blog.

The Sketch, as I said, was challenge C4C25 and the main image used is obviously Penny Black. The Penny Black Saturday Challenge Blog set the colour scheme and I think I have done pretty well considering I didn't think I would like using all of those colours on one card (too sickly) but nevertheless, I think with the promarker colouring, the added flowers, gems and the Hero Arts sentiment, it all came together fairly well. I wouldn't say I was thrilled with it, but it's alright!

C4FC Sketch 2

This is the second card I have made for this weeks Create for Fun Challenge Sketch. I used a very cute digi image from Sliekje (her blog link can be found in 'Other blogs I like to visit' on the right hand side of my blog.

They are so cute, so I thought I would incorporate one of them into this week's Challenge Sketch. Hope you like it? I know it's a boy but it reminds me of my daughter, she's ALWAYS on her phone too.

C4FC Sketch Challenge Week 8

This is the card I have made for the Create 4 Fun Challenge using the sketch they provided on their blog. I used a base card of white and then added a layer of red. The white background with cherries on, I created myself using my new Cupcake Hero Art Stamps (that cherry stamp is sooooo cute) then I added the main image by Mo's Digital Pencil and then I added the ribbon (from Hobbycraft) and then three ruby gemstones in the top left corner, although these are not on the sketch, I thought it needed something up there. I hope the girls over at C4FC like it.

Easel Card 4 Sarn

Here is an Easel Card I made for Sarn. We went out to Camden in London for a day out yesterday and we had a brilliant day. I will post some pictures soon so that you can see what we experienced.

I love making Easel cards and I am currently making another one for my Mum for Mother's Day. I made this using my new Paws for a Moment stamps that came in a set of three main stamps and a few sentiments, I love them as there is this one, one with a bear in an arm chair and the other is of the bear posting a letter in a post box. The background papers are from My Minds Eye (I think?)

Forever Flowers

A cutesy forever friends image on this lovely little card. C5 sized, it's petite but packs a small punch. I'm really pleased with how this little card turned out. I used the MS doily punch on yellow and white cardstock and then mounted it onto a swirly orangy background. I then added the ribbon and embellishments and some glitter to the flowers. The image was coloured with my promarkers and I added grass by his feet. Lovely, really pleased.

Teal Treat

A different card again, with a Penny black twist. Note I haven't coloured the image at all. Well that's the way i wanted it to be. Just the teal colour and the blue gems and no other colours on the card at all. I stamped the background myself onto plain coloured card using 'samey' colours and then mounted the image using my scalloped circle Nestabilities and then cut along the left edge with my Martha Stewart Doily punch (best thing I have bought recently - I love it, well worth the money!)

Hope you guys don't think it's too plain without other colours but I love it and it actually looks ten times better in real life (the photo is definitely not doing it mjuch justice in comparison).

Spring Rabbit

This is a new stamp that I picked up from Lili of the Valley. I just love this rabbit to bits!

I decided to go for a different sketch and added some flower decorations to match the background paper and the colouring (promarkers). Added some glitter to the flower heads and to the flower centres on the background paper. The other embellishments are all from Tesco (every little helps). All background papers are from My Minds Eye. Hope you like it.

Grandma's Treat

This is the card I made using the C4FC sketch Challenge.

I decided to make it 'Grandma' themed as it is my nanna's 82nd birthday on the 22nd of this month. Hope nanna likes it and I hope I have some luck with the challenges too.

P.S. Does this satisfy your inspiration Claire? (My friend Claire was on the phone to me moaning earlier that I hadn't updated my blog recently - so here it is, the first of a few to upload tonight)...

Wish me luck?
