Good Luck Card

Hi,

I've had no internet for almost two weeks as my router(?) was broken, but I'm back!  I did try to post via blogger mobile - but it wouldn't upload my post.

I made this card about two weeks ago for friend at work who was leaving us to go and live and work in London.

I used some glossy accents on the four leaf clover and had a go doing a swirly pattern with my Bazzill jewel templates.  The lovely papers were free in a magazine, and the image is Pollycraft.

I'd like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

Do You Stack Up - Layers
If The Shoe Fits - Anything Goes
Saturday Challenge - 3 in a row (swirls, gems and ribbon)
Allsorts - Anything Goes
Bee Crafty - Miss You

Thanks for looking - enjoy the rest of your weekend.

More than ice-cream?

Afternoon!

Hope you're all having a nice day.  My darling children have been not so darling this morning so while they nap I've had a nice peaceful play with my crafty bits!

I've made my husbands valentines card today, which is extremely organised for me.  Let's hope he doesn't have have a sneak peek at my blog!  I can now put my efforts into winning our valentines present competition - which is to find each other the most rubbish gift to do with the city we live in for under a fiver.   Should be fun!

Anyway here's the card.  I jumped for joy when I saw this digi set (from Pollycraft) as it's so perfect for me; given my most favourite thing ever is ice-cream (hence the tub of half-baked on my blog where most people have a picture of their face!)

I wanted to do something a little bit different to the traditional valentines card, as my anniversary card last week was red, so when I found this piece of spotty paper left over from a card last year I though it was prefect!

I've also gone for a clean and simple look - more down to the fact that I had nothing to go on it and I've banned myself from buying anything from a craft store for February as I spent ridiculous amounts in January! Luckily I found this digi on the last day of January, and promptly clicked buy along with a few others!!   Let's see how far into February I get before I convince myself I NEED something!!

Anyway I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Pollycraft - Favourite Things - Ice-cream
The Pixie Cottage - Clean and Simple + Sketch
Do You Stack Up - Anything Goes
Catch the Bug - Colour Inspiration
Paper Sundaes - Valentines
Ladybug Challenge - He Love's Me, He Loves me Not

Little Miss Muffet - Valentines and Love
Freshly Brewed - Love

New Baby Girl

Evening!!

Is anyone else cold??  I'm frozen!

I just wanted to share with you all my first commission ... actually, calling it a commission sounds far to exciting. I was showing off the gift box I made the other week to people at work and one of my colleagues asked if I could make a card for her friend who is having a baby girl. So here it is:

The image is a new digi I bought especially for this card from the DigiStamp Boutique.  I also made a quick and simple tag to match it using the same image and pink scalloped circle as on the card with a quick eyelet and a spare piece of ribbon.

I've gone for some simple paper piecing - my new favourite technique!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Pollycraft Monday - Favourite Things (Paper Piecing - my new favourite!)
Lollipop Crafts - Anything Goes
Passion for Promarkers - New Beginnings
Do You Stack Up - Ribbons
Saturday Challenge - Ribbons
Sketch N Stash - Free Choice Sketch  (Number 75! + New Digi) -


edited to add:  oops I forgot to add the picture of the sketch I used!! My Bad - sorry!

Thanks for looking!
