Pink and Green Tilda

Ok, this is for a Spoonful of Sugar Challenge this week where the brief is to do a card in shades of pink and green. I've used a Tilda stamp, K & Co paper, lace, and the little sentiment is from a stamp that I've had in my stash for ages! I like the softness of this card. This is the first time I've used lace on my cards so I'm afraid it's not very inventive, but I think it goes with the image and the papers.

Penny Black Saturday Sketch

This week's challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge blog is a sketch. I've used a cute little cat (sorry don't know the name of the stamp as it was a RAK). The papers are from Dovecraft (left overs from last Christmas), the dry embossing is done on the Cuttlebug with Snowflake motif. I used my Crop-a-dile to punch holes aroung the edge of circle, then threaded ribbon through. Et Voila! Thanks for looking!

Royal Mail Hegdie!

Over at Cute Card Thursday this week the brief is "Christmas Animals". I thought I'd use this little stamp from Penny Black called "Royal Mail", it's one of the stamps I got for my birthday and I have to say it's one of my favs! I just love the little hedgehog and robin, it's such a cute image and really makes me think of Christmas! I coloured the stamp with my w/c paints and used Dovecraft d/p. The buttons and ribbon are from my stash.

The Day After!

Well, it's official, my friends are now Mr & Mrs (or should I say Mr et Mme)! All went well, even the sun came out! The bride looked lovely in a gorgeous burgandy gown (no white or ivory here). After the ceremony we ate and ate some more (there was a whopping 6 courses) and then we boogied until the early hours! My feet were killing me in my strappy, heeled sandals (why do we insist in torturing ourselves for the sake of fashion???). I had a fab time but I have to admit that I was happy when my head hit the pillow! Félicitations Shannon & Patrice!

Thanks Tracy & Katy!!!

I just wanted to say a great BIG thank you to two special blogging friends, Tracy and Katy! This week I received two gorgeous cards in the post filled with fab images for me to colour! What a lovely surprise and so very thoughtful of you both! I've been feeling a bit under the weather this week and your beautiful cards and kind wishes made me smile!

Tracy sent me a beautiful pink card, with woven ribbon detail which is stunning! Here it is with the lovely images...



Katy sent me a really cute giraffe card wallet with some cute Panduro images, I don't have any of these so they're new to me! Here they are...



Well I'm off to make a card or two now, have a lovely evening! Oh and Happy World Cardmaking Day!

New Magenta Stamp

Well it's been a few days since I last posted, I've been feeling a bit under the weather so haven't felt up to posting anything! I'm feeling a bit better today so thought I'd share this little card with you all. In France each day is dedicated to a Saint and is celebrated by wishing "Bonne Fête" to the person who's name is the same as the saint...hard to explain but put it this way Monday 29th September is St. Michel (or Michelle) so this was my fête! As a little surprise my hubby had bought me a couple of crafty goodies, including this little stamp from Magenta. This is my first stamp Magenta stamp and I have to say it's lovely, the quality is really good and you get a really detailed impression. It's not my usual cutie stuff but I like it all the same! Why don't you check out when your Fête is?



I used:
Magenta stamp
Dovecraft paper (last year's leftovers)
Merry Christmas from Studio G
Rest from stash

French/American Wedding

Tomorrow I'm off to an autumn (or fall if you're American) wedding! My American friend is getting married to a frenchman in a little chatêau nearby! So I'll have to get my posh frock on, whey hey! Not often I get to dress up so it'll be fun! I've made this little card for the couple, I kind of struggled as I don't really have any cute images suitable for weddings etc, so I used a stamp I've had for a while, it kind of fits with the champagne glasses seeing as the wedding is in France! The papers are from the Nostalgia Warm Collection by Paper Mania, the rest is from my stash. Oh and the flourish (or swirl) is from Inkadinkadoo!



The wedding is due to go on right through the night, so I can see me being a tad tired by 6am Saturday morning! I'll let you know how it goes...
