Thank you card

Thought I was going to be late with this one.....



I've had a few thank you cards to make for the kids to send, wanted to make something clean and simple. I dug out some of my SU! stash, Sweet Always papers, one of my favourites, still got a pack unopened! The card blank and envelope from stash, sentiment from Paula Pascal set, Martha Stewart border punch, think this is the first time I've used this after I just had to have it back in the summer! All other items are SU!

I am entering this card into A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge this week which is Thank You.

Anya in the Pink (and Lilac)

I've had a very productive day in my craft room today, had a bit of a tidy, made a couple of cards, discovered stash that I forgot I had .... and made a star card for a 21st birthday. Here's one of the cards that I made and I am entering it into the Anyone for Anya challenge this week, which is

'Mum's The Word'

I just love this cute Miss Anya image, which my lovely friend Susie sent to me recently, thank you so much, you know I'm going to have to buy these now!! I coloured with some girlie pinks and lilacs today, which is not my usual colour selection but I enjoyed working with them. I raided my paper cupboard and found this lovely lilac pearlescent paper from Craftwork Cards, the flowers paper is DCWV and the pink cardstock from the Paper Mill cut with my lovely Martha Stewart double loop punch set. I added a couple of prima flowers, I really wish I had bought a couple of packs of these in other colours - more for my shopping list ;-), a pearl brad from Papermania and finally a sentiment banner from Lakeland and I was done....

If only it was that quick, I had different pads of pack and cardstock all over the place while I was making this card!

I am also going to enter this card into the Cupcake challenge which this week is

Flower Power.

Am off to make my DT card for Creative Card Crew now and fit in a spot of sewing, mmmm or shall I bead?

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Gorjuss Cooking Tilda

I had a get well card to make for our school cook



so there was only one image to use - Tilda with wooden spoon and a couple of rolling pin images, coloured with copics.
Papers from K & Co, and DCWV colour stack
Sentiment - SU!
Punches - SU! & Martha Stewart.
I used the sketch from Totally Gorjuss, so off there to add a link before I'm too late!!
Have a wonderful weekend.

Creative Card Crew - Valentine challenge

Love is in the air ..... my turn to choose the challenge this week at Creative Card Crew, so with Valentine's Day nearly on us there really was no other choice to be made!!

This week's Sponsor is Crafty Addicts and there is a wonderful Rachael Anne Miller stamp up for one lucky crafter.



This is about the third attempt at my DT card.... It's been a busy couple of weeks and crafting has been put on the back burner :-( probably at a time when I could do with it most!



I dusted off some of my much neglected SU! stash to make this card, rooted out the Simply Said stamp set, Whisper White and Real Red cardstock, Real Red ink and my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. I decided on a Z fold card as I haven't done one of those for ages. On the left of the Whisper White ribbon I have stamped Love using Versamark ink but it's not showing up too well, you'll have to zoom in to get a better look.
I couldn't make a valentine card and not use the lovely Martha Stewart heart border punch could I? so that's the only non SU! product used here. I've just had another look at the photo, think I was a bit heavy handed with the dabbing on the edges, another one destined for the bin I think!

Looking forward to seeing your entries for this challenge. Happy crafting.
