Birthday card

Evening

I'm just sharing a birthday card I made for one of my friends at work.  The image is the same as the one I used earlier in the week for my Tuesday Throwdown post from the Stamping Chef - I always print two copies of the image I'm working out as I normally stuff up the colouring on one of them.

The paper is from Papermania - Happy Days.  I've got this floral pattern on some of that sticky fabric paper - that I've not used as it's too nice to cut!  The ribbon is recycled from a gift I got a Christmas.

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

Penny's Challenge - Girl Power
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Crafty Ribbons - Anything Goes with Ribbon
Crafting by Designs - Anything Goes
Crafts and Me - Anything Goes

Stampin' For The Weekend - Anything Goes!

Happy Friday!

It's almost the weekend and it's time for our new challenge at Stampin' For the Weekend.  This time it's everyone's favourite - Anything Goes!

We have a fabulous sponsor - as always! And this time it's:

Everyone loves a bit of ribbon - I know I do.

So here's my card.  It's for my lovely mother-in-law as it's her birthday next week.  Mother-in-law's seem to get some bad press but she is fabulous!!  

This is an 8 x 8 card - as I printed this lovely Tiddly Inks image too big for my usual 6 x 6.

The papers are from Papermania and a bit of My Mind's Eye left over from valentines day.  I think my terrible photography just about shows up a nice sprinkling of glamour dust!

Why not pop over and see what my fabulous teamies have made, and I'm pretty sure that you'll have something to enter!

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

Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

Tuesday Throwdown - You're the man

Evening.

Even when I'm not running late I am.  I was 100% positive that I had scheduled this post to go live this morning but no - it was sitting in my drafts!

It's time for a new challenge at Tuesday Throwdown and our theme is "You're the Man" - we want to see your male inspired cards.

We have a fab sponsor who have been super kind and given us lovely images to work with!

Here's my card:

The papers are from My Minds Eye.  I really quite like the ribbon round the sentiment but that wasn't the plan - I just couldn't find one of the cutting plates for my big shot to cut a scallop circle.  I think it's hiding somewhere - so if you see it can you let me know where it is!

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

Craft Your Passion - Father's Day / Masculine
Crafty Card Makers - Father's Day
Anything Goes - Father's Day
Bearly Mine - Anything Goes
Crafty Sentiments - Card for a male
Creative Craft Challenge - We love you Dad

I've used  a Stamp Fairy image - Paul and Pauline in Love!  How do you like my big pink flower - I've used my tattered florals die - with one of my little girls old cardigans - I love a bit of recycling!
