It's Raining.......HUGS....

Hugs and Birthday wishes...... Hi there hope you are all having a lovely weekend, it's been raining the past two days and I found this fab Freebie image from Dustin Pike so I went with the weather...lol. You must visit his blog his illustrations are just fantastic.
I've managed to squeeze in 4 challenges with this one. Papertake weekly want digi downloads, the sketch I used is from Cupcake craft,and Digital Tuesday want you to use a digi image and use up old paper scraps. Ive had this paper lying around for about 3 years and very rarely used it, so I think that qualifies me for that one. Lastly The Pink Elephant want to see your favourite colour combo and as green is my favourite colour I've entered it there too.

I'm off work for the next 2 weeks so I should be able to catch up with some challenges and orders. I've got loads of things planned for the house too, some decorating moving stuff around and also lots to do in the garden. Laying some turf, moving the shed and slabs.....phew I'll need a holiday when I'm done... I'm not doing it all myself, obviously, William is also off and the boys said they would help too.All we need is the weather to get on with it. Be back soon with more cards.

*******

I have used stamps from the Rubbernecker New Release Floral Set.

On the Card and Gift Bag I used the fern stamp to make the background. Then I stamped the flowers in vases stamps and mounted them on to Labels 2 Nesties. The sentiment on this card is Computer generated, not Rubbernecker, and I used two little flowers with buttons from Sassy's candy box that I won a few weeks ago.

The next card I made with an added Tag which is tucked in behind the circle. Stamped with a flower in vase stamp and also the sentiment stamp from Rubbernecker. I added a little butterfly charm and ribbon from my stash. The DP on the card are from HOTP and I used a Fiskars border punch. Added ribbon and roses again from the candy box, and used another sentiment stamp from Rubbernecker. I also added a swirl and flower from my stash.

Looking forward to seeing all your fab creations again this week. Don't forget you can enter up to 4 projects this week, and we will have 4 winners. Have fun....

ONION PLAYS FOOTIE ON FATHER'S DAY...

Hi there just a quick card for Father's day for my Hubby. I used Footie Onion, basic grey and HOTP papers. I followed this weeks sketch for Sketch Saturday. A nice quick and easy card to make...for a change...lol.

Glamour Puss.....

Good morning everyone, hope you are all well and the sun is shining wherever you are. Nothing but rain here the past few days such a change from last weeks heatwave.

This is my DT card this week for our challenge over at Charisma Cardz. The theme for your challenge this week is 'Diamonds are a girls best friend'. You can interpret this anyway you like, and as always, you can make whatever you want. As you can see......I didn't use a girl.....well not the human variety anyway, my female is a feline. I really don't know why I chose a cat for this card 'cause I'm not a 'CAT' person, but she just looked really elegant. Hope you like her. I cut her on my Robo and then added a lovely diamond collar. I matched the paper to her fab eyes and added a flower from Poppicrafts and a sentiment done on the computer mounted on oval Nesties. Quite a simple design. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Have a lovely day.

Forever Friends with Champagne

Another card tonight for the same order as the previous post. I've got four 50th cards to make and as they are going to different people I just used the same layout. Changed the papers and made this one a little more pinkish. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.

FF and Dottie

Hi there two cards from me tonight both for orders in work. the first is a 50th birthday card. I used FF bear with champagne stamp coloured with copics. My layout that I tend to use for this size of card which is an A4 card folded in half. papers are PM simply elegant, flowers Poppicraft, swirl cut on my Robo, border punch is Fiskars, and I used CB Swiss dots to emboss the card behind the Nestie. Ribbon from stash and sentiment done on computer.

The second card is for a Graduation. The girl has Graduated in Teaching so I added a couple of little school embellishments. The image is Dottie coloured with copics. Paper is creative impressions, border punch Fiskars, ribbon stash and the card behind the nestie is again embossed with cb folder Numbers. Sentiment done on computer. I've got more to do before the end of the week so pop back later if you have time to see them.

Don't know how I managed it but I've got four challenges in this card.

The first one is Just Magnolia which is the one I was doing the card for and they want paper piecing. Second is Truly Scrumptious they have a sketch and you have to alter your flower in some way, I have embossed mine and also put stickles on it. Third is the ABC challenge which is Roses, I have one on the flower and one on the bow. Last is Pink Elephant and they want you to be inspired by this months Home and Gardens mag front page. The colours are blue green and lilac, and there is also a circle there too.

This is what I used....

The Lovely Tilda....coloured with copics and stickles added for a bit of sparkle.

Papers I'm not sure I've had them so long.

Flower is a mixture of Poppicraft and stash.

Gorjuss in RED...

Hello everyone hope you are all having a great weekend. This card is for the Papertake weekly sketch challenge I coloured the image a few days ago and couldn't find any papers to match so I had a really good search through my stash today and came up with this. The papers are Basic grey Boxer the swirls were cut on my Robo and the Organza flower is one that my Mum got me a long time ago. I matched up the other flower to the grey paper and the hair on the image. The little brad in the middle is from Papermania I just got these and a load of others yesterday. I'll do the inside later on. I did see a challenge for the inside of your card but as usual I can't remember where I saw it. Hope you like it I've been dying to do a red card for ages. Might be back later with some more cards. Happy Saturday....
