Papertake weekly challenge

Whats this another challenge ?? I really must calm down that's two in a week. LOL. I love the challenges on the papertake blog and have been itching to have a go. So here is the card I made for their challenge of 'buttons'. I bought these mini cards a while ago and thought they would be a great size for a note card or Thank you. Being as they are smaller than the normal cards I use I thought a simple layout would work best and must say I'm really pleased with it.

The stamp is from the pink cat studio tweet plate. The sentiment is pinched, or as I prefer recycled, from a card that was sent to me, I only tried it by chance but I think it really works,and I coloured the bags and the flower with glitter gel pens to add a touch of sparkle. Hope you all like it and can I say thank you to all the people who left messages on my previous post you made me feel very welcome in this crafty world!!

Sketch Saturday Challenge

Woo Hoo...... I finally managed to do a challenge and here it is. I chose the challenge on the Sketch Saturday blog. Normally I don't get chance to do them on time, so I waited until Jack was tucked up fast asleep in bed and got started. Once I found a spark of inspiration the sketch was really fun to do.

I used a stamp from pink cat studio and papers from paper mania. the ribbon and flowers were left overs from my stash. Hope you like it

A card for Simran

My friend asked me to make a card for his niece Simran's 1st birthday, so here it is. I had already seen a picture of her so Iknew the dress up lily plate from pink cat studio would be perfect especially as her mum always put her hair into little pigtails!

I have to say I'm really pleased with it and would have loved to receive this when I was a little girl. the papers are all by papermania in the pastels collection (my favourite!) Its shame that you cant tell from the pic but her wings are purple glitter and really sparkle. Oh well I hope she likes it as much as I do

Nans Birthday

Here is the card I made for my lovely Nan. She loves gardening and flowers, and with her name being Kitty I knew this would be perfect, and I was right she just loved it.
The stamp is by pink cat studio from the crafty kitty plate, the papers and the rub on sentiments are from the pastels range by papermania and the flowers I got in a set at hobbycraft

Fathers day

Well with fathers Day just around the corner everyone has been talking about buying cards so I decided to make a few to sell. making cards for all the men in our lives has not been easy, trying to come up with new ideas instead of the usual fishing and golf stuff was quite challenging! Although I did get a lot of inspiration from the "Billy" stamps from Pink Cat Studio. For Dads with young Children these are great. I have also thrown in some origami shirts for the traditionalists amongst us.
Hope you like
