A Spoon Full Of Sugar Challenge

This weeks challenge over at A Spoon Full Of Sugar is a sketch challenge, and as I,m back in full swing with my card making I thought I would join in.
Here's the sketch




And here's my card..




The image I used is a stamp I have had for ages just not got round to using, I seem to say that all the time, maybe it should tell me something. Like I buy way more stash than I can use, but for now I,m choosing to ignore it as I,ve just ordered a load of The Greeting Farm Anya and Ian stamps, they are so cute cant wait to get my hands on them.
I used some papers from the Scarlet Lime July kit and my su card stock and Oval all stamps and punches for the greeting.
Happy Crafting

I made another card today, and I love it, I,m really happy with how it turned out, did,nt follow any sketch or really have anyone in mind for it, so just made it up as I went along.

Could not decide which was the best picture of it so I,m showing you both.

Heres a close up of the glitter detail which you cant really see in the main pics.
I have been seeing so many beautiful vintage or aged styled cards on every ones blogs that I wanted a play myself, I,ve bought lots of distress style stuff but never really got the knack of making them look any good.
I used a Tilda image that someone must have given me, so don't know which one she is, my water colouring pencils to colour her in, and a bit of glitter for her top, I made a cream card blank from my su stash and Basic Grey papers, glue and glitter and a sakura pen for her wings. I then raided my flower pile and stuck them on too. The pink flowers were some of the first flowers i bought so it was nice to finally use them.

Truly Scrumptious challenge 17

I had some lovely news the other day I was the winner of challenge 16 over at Truly Scrumptious, how fab is that I will be getting a die cut xmas kit from their sponsor Design House Papercrafts. Cant wait for it to arrive.

I have made this card below for their challenge number 17, a great sketch to work with and although I have kept the card really simple I love the result, Hollie has already pinched it for her friends upcoming birthday.


I have a lot more stuff to show you but have Archie off school with a really bad tummy bug, poor little man is so poorly he can hardly talk, which normally would be a blessing as he never shuts up, but I would rather have him talking my ear off than seeing him suffer.
Baxk soon
