funky fairy # 33

Here is my card for the Funky Fairy challenge, I really loved doing this sketch, and love the funky fairy site. They have some really cool stuff and some fab free downloads on their blog of inspiration, and you know me I love a freebie. So because the free stuff is so good I decided to use it all. lol

The image is from the hoppy wishes collection at pink petticoat and the rest is all funky fairy. I have to say I love this card the colours are so me. I hope you all like it too.

My Nan, bless her, has clean wiped me out of cards and has ordered about 6 more, I'm going to be very busy, so bring on the challenges Xxx

sketch saturday # 15

At last I finally found time to do a challenge. This is for the challenge over on the sketch Saturday blog. I used this cute Froggy from the Pink Petticoat collection Hoppy Wishes for him. The papers are paper mania and Funky Fairy and the flowers are by make it yourself.

This was a great sketch but personally I think I coloured the frog a bit too green. Still, after with standing the mantle piece test I'm pretty happy with the results Xxx

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

Thank you

Simrans Mum Loved the lily card I made for her so much that she emailed me and asked for some thank you cards in the same design. It was a lot of work as she wanted them quite quickly so I took the things I needed to work and did some stamping in my lunch hour!!

the materials I used are all the same as before

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

Love you Daddy

Here is the card I made on behalf of my 1 year old Jack. We both hope his Daddy likes it.

I used the billy stamps from Pink Cat studio, and coloured it accordingly to look like Jack, the buttons I had left over from a set I bought in smiths when I was making my mom a scrapbook of Jack.

Happy Fathers Day Daddy

Love Vicky and Jack Xxx

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
