Cute Card Thursday

Hi everyone,

Here is my card for this weeks Cute Card Thursday where the theme is 'snow and snowflakes'. It seems like forever since I joined in with the CCT challenge and since I'm in a real Christmas card mood, it was nice and easy!!

I've used one of Jo's old sketches from Sketch Saturday so if you're ever stuck for inspiration, head over there and look through all the previous ones, I think there are 26 to choose from, so you should easily find one to get creative with!

There is something missing from my card, I really wanted to add some snowflakes but I dont have any.......so a trip to the shops tomorrow me thinks!!

Here are the detail

• Image: Charlie from WOJ
• Paper: Imaginisce and Coredinations CS
• Medium: Promarkers

• Ribbon from stash

That's all folks, hope you have a super day, thanks for stopping by

3 challenges in 1

Morning everyone,

Here is a card I've been working on for a few days now and just can't seem to get it so that I'm completely happy. I followed the sketch from a spoonfull of sugar which was kindly provided by the incredibly talented Lim. I decided to use a WOJ stamp so that I could combine it with the WOJ challenge and then because of the autumn colours I could also enter it for Cute Card Thursday .

I love the layout of the card and the papers and the ribbon and everything but just struggled with the image part....I originally had Melinda helping Angel on a white background but when I stuck that on it was like WHOOO!...too white, so I tried to distress it a bit....NO! that had to go straight in the bin. So back to the drawing board again, using a different stamp and a coloured cardstock.....like I say, not completely happy, but it's so much better than the first attempt lol!!

Here are the details anyway

• Image: Willow with cookies from WOJ
• Medium: Promarkers
• Paper: hmmm, don't know
• Ribbon and brads from stash

Thanks for looking, have a super Sunday

Growing up!

Morning everyone,

Well finally I have been able to make another card, 'back to school' was supposed to mean more time for me, but karma has other plans.....I've been chasing my tail the whole week...just don't know where the time has gone!!!

Anyway I have made this card as my first entry to the House Mouse challenge, which this week was a fabulous sketch. I don't actually have any of these stamps, I was kindly sent a few images by my friend Heather and I have a few left, so hopefully I will be able to join in again...for a few weeks anyway!!

I adore this image..it reminds me of my daughter who is forever putting on my shoes and clip clopping round the house, she is so gorgeous and really makes me smile everyday.

I have chosen a 'pink' colour scheme to enter CCT where the theme is..yes you guessed it..'pretty in pink'.

Here are the details

• Image: House mouse (sorry I don't know any of their names)
• Paper: K&Co, BG
• Medium: Promarkers (coloured in about 30 seconds!!)
• Flowers, brads and sentiment bubble sticker from my stash

Have a super day, thanks for stopping by, feel free to leave a comment so I know you were here

Don't forget tomorrow is a new challenge on Sketch Saturday , hope you can join in the fun

2 in 1 challenge with a little help from Marlene

Morning everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are fighting fit this Monday morning.

I'm really late this week with my entry for a spoon full as my inspiration had just totally gone AWOL and I couldn't think of anything to use as 'recycle'.

In the end I went for a ribbon which I cut from an old shop bought card, a flower from an artificial flower bunch and the sentiment is cut from a piece of vellum I used for a wedding card, so I actually managed to recycle 3 things, small as they are.

I have based this card on a sketch from the extremely talented Marlene and although I haven't used an oval, I think the foundations are there, it was a super sketch to work with, thanks a bunch Marlene. I used this gorgeous hAngler stamp which fits perfectly with the theme on CCT which is 'the two of us'.

• Image: hAngler and stAngler
• Paper: BG and I don't know
• Medium: Watercolour pens
• Sentiment, ribbon and flower - recycled

Thanks for looking, I'll be back later with a lovely award I received

CCT in da house!

Morning everyone,

First of all, sorry for the lack of posting this week, my mum came to visit for a few days and I wanted to spend time with her, especially after the 'mishap' she had last time she was here and secondly you will have to excuse my artistic license for any card I make this week as I don't seem to have any images which fit the themes, nothing housey...is that a word!!, no animals, no christmas.....

So here is the card I made for this weeks CCT where the theme was 'in the house'. I used this cute Papilio girl in her nightie...well I think she is!!

Here are the details

• Image: Papilio
• Paper: Bazzill, Crate paper, K&Co (i think)
• Medium: Watercolour pens
• Sentiment: Studio G
• Flowers and brads from stash

Thanks for looking, have a super day

Cute Card Thursday

Hi everyone,

Here is my card for this weeks cute card thursday with the theme 'the great outdoors'.

The card was inspired by Deb and I thought it was so fabulous I would give it a go. I have used the same image, just different colours, but Deb said this was ok...thankyou. I like how it turned out but it's no where near as beautiful as the original. Hop over to Deb's blog and check out her other fantastic creations.

• Image: Sweet Ebony 'picking apples'
• Medium: Watercolour pens
• Paper: Bazzill, Basic Grey, K & Co
• Sentiment: studio g
• Flowers and brads from stash

Have a super day, thanks for stopping by

It's the simple things in life.....

Hi everyone,

Here is my card for this weeks cutecardthursday which was simply to make a birthday card...no problems there then, a nice simple theme, which I just loved

As I was looking for inspiration I decided to follow the sketch on this weeks mojomonday , which made things much easier and is actually my first ever entry to this challenge blog, but I will definately be back. The sketch is quite simple so was perfect for a boy card, you know how difficult they can be...just like in real life lol!

I used my other new hAngler stamp...you know what it's like...once you got em, you gotta use em! coloured with watercolour pens, pp by sharon ann and rayner, brads from stash
Have a super day

Another 2 in 1

Hi everyone,

I decided to combine another 2 challenges cos I am running short of time (again!) this week. I really love these 2 blogs and didn't want to miss out on the challenges, so I made this card for cutecardthursday which was to use 3 different embellishments and fridaysketchers which was a sketch by a very talented lady called jacqueline and gave me another chance to create more wobbly lines lol!

The image is coloured with watercolour pens, pp by Pebbles inc, then I used flowers, button, brads and ribbbons as embellishments from my stash, the little dragonfly brad is Woodware

Well, the sun is just breaking through the cloud and rain so it looks like it's going to be a brighter day, have fun, feel free to leave a comment
