and another Birthday Card...

Evening all,

I'm back with another birthday card.  This time it's for my sister who is 22 this week! My little girl has also made her card - I'll have to remember to take and post a picture of it tomorrow - it's quite cute.

The image is another one of the lovely images I chose as my prize from Tuesday Throwdown from The Stamping Boutique. The DP is My Minds Eye - Lime Zest.  The DP and flower are from blog candy winnings from Audrey a couple of weeks back.

I'm going to enter this into the following challenges:

The Stamping Boutique - Monthly Challenge
Do It With Digis - Spots or Stripes
Allsorts Challenge - Free and Easy
Ladybug Challenges - Summer Birthdays
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Everybody Art Challenge - Use Shapes

Thanks for looking - have a great evening!

Wedding Bells

Evening All!

I made this card about a month ago for a wedding we went to.  I love weddings but I always end up crying as I'm such a big softy! This is another fine example of my rubbish photography, this time made worse by the fact I had only finished making it an hour before, was praying for the glitter glue to dry and rushing to take a picture before putting it in the envelope before heading off to the wedding!

The paper is really lovely, I picked it up randomly at a craft shop but you can't really see the pattern on it in the picture above but hopefully you can make out my lovely shimmery card.  This even worse picture below - does nothing for the card but shows up the pattern on the paper.

So if you use your imagination to put it all together hopefully you can see that it was actually a nice clean and simple card!

The digi image and the sentiment were both from Pink Petticoat.

I'm going to enter this into the following challenges!

Enjoy the rest of your evening, thanks for looking!

Purple Christmas

Hello!

I remember last Christmas when I made all of my Christmas cards I felt quite sad at not needing to make anymore.  The pink Christmas card I made last week has got me feeling all Christmassy again so I've made another one!

It's very simple card but I really love the colours!

I'm going to enter this into the following challenges:

Tuesday Throwdown - Christmas in July
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes (and Buttons)
Our Creative Corner - Christmas in July
Winter Wonderland - Buffet - Snowflakes, Ribbon, Buttons

Thanks for looking!

30th Birthday

Afternoon!

My husband is 30 tomorrow - so I've been working on his card this morning.  I've already given it to him though as I didn't got an envelope big enough, plus he was milling around whilst I was cursing and cutting out the little boy and his car - I need to either get some decoupage scissors or get a new blade for my craft knife!

He really liked it and said that it reminded him of playing outrun in the arcade machines when he was a teenager ( Which is a very long time ago now!! ha ha!)

 

The image is called AJ - the race car driver and it's one of the images I chose from The Stamping Boutique as part of my prize from Tuesday Throwdown a week or so ago.  The image looks really flat on this photo, but I've done it in three layers.  I'm also loving Core-dinations card at the minute.

I always forget how hard it is to get really nice DP for male cards - there are literally thousands for the girls, so I did a little happy dance when I spotted this at the craft store!  It's lovely and so summery!

There are loads of challenges to enter with this card:

• Pollycraft Monday - Celebrations

Thanks for stopping by
